Hi all! I’m back with another coffee themed project for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. This time it’s a little giftie – a K-Cup holder with 2 K-Cups:
I used the Kup Holder Die (you cut it twice and assemble), the Kup Topper Die Set (for both the plain and scalloped circles), the Kup Toppers 2 stamp set (the sentiment), and the Kup Toppers stamp set (the little button image). I was able to cut all the pieces I needed for this project out of 1 sheet of patterned 8.5 x 11” cardstock. I finished it off with a piece of brown twill.
I used the Sweet As Honey stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps and the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch. I also used my MISTI to help line up the sentiment and added a few sequins as a finishing touch.
This is also for Less Is More – Something Shiny (sequins). I hope you like it and TFL!
Hi all! I have a card for a couple challenges today:
The bear with pinwheel is from the What A Blast stamp set and the sentiment is from Kick Some Grass. I paper pieced the pinwheel and did a tiny bit of coloring with white and black Prismacolor colored pencils.
I did a Fall colored watercolor background with my new Gansai Tambi watercolor paints and stamped the Tim Holtz Stamptember 2015 Coffee stamp on it. I cut it out with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle die set from Your Next Stamp.
I stamped the image again on a scrap of watercolor paper and watercolored it. Then I traced the outline of the cup and sign onto a piece of acetate with a wet erase marker. I used this acetate with my Scan N Cut machine to get it to cut out just the cup portion. I added that to the background with some foam tape. Here you can see the dimension:
Here’s a start to finish video:

Hi all! Today I have a card made for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday – Two Toned Sentiments:
I used the PTI set Embellished Elegance and it’s matching die set, as well as the Diagonal Die Cover Plate. And of course I used the MISTI because this technique was made for the MISTI!
Hi all! Today I have a card made for the Lawnscaping Challenge – One Layer Card (which is just a card base with no additional layers of paper/cardstock and minimal embellies). Here’s what I came up with:
First I used Make the Cut to create an A2 size rectangle with the word BOO cut out. I blacked out the letters so they would be solid. I cut it using my Scan N Cut, stuck down the letters on my card base, and sponged Black Soot Distress Ink around the letters.
Next, using the Booyah stamp set, I stamped the hat/hair onto the card using my MISTI and masked them all off using reusable masks I previously made. [I specifically call them reusable because they are covered in clear packing tape so I can wipe off any ink that gets on them. This makes sure the ink doesn’t leak through the masks and I can keep using them until the stick on the back wears off.] I then stamped the ghost bodies and colored them using Luminance colored pencils. Then I stamped their little faces.
Finally, I put it back in my MISTI to stamp the sentiment, which I embossed with clear embossing powder. Here’s a start to finish video:

Hi all! It’s Feature Day over at the YNS Blog and this month our theme is “School is Cool.” Here’s what I came up with:
I used the Fruity Fun stamp set and the Bookmark/Tag Die Set – Large. The bookmark was cut from Xpress It and I did the no-line technique by stamping with Antique Linen Distress Ink and coloring with Copics after I stamped the sentiment in dark brown hybrid ink.
I’ll have the video up tomorrow on the YNS Blog for Whatcha Watching Wednesday.
But today, please visit the YNS Blog for our Feature Day and comment there for a chance to win a stamp set of your choice! TFL!
I used the Scan N Cut to cut the box base using an SVG file from SVG Cuts. I also cut the patterned paper panels with the SNC. Next I stamped all the images in Versafine ink and clear embossed, then watercolored with Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I cut them all out and placed them all over the card, mostly with foam tape. The cat in the back is actually only attached to the Hemp Cord so it moves with the cord.
Here are the sides of the box:
And here’s a view from the top so you can see the decorated flaps:
And yes, it does really fold flat for mailing, just like a good box card should! I hope you like it and TFL!
Hi all! I’m here with my 4th entry into the MFT Card Design Superstar contest. It’s a surprise easel card (that’s what I called it when I first made THIS ONE 5 years ago). Here it is closed flat:
You can see the barn doors open to reveal the piggy inside. And then when you open up the barn easel portion, there’s a surprise flap of grass to hold the easel in place:
The great thing about just making the barn an easel is that the card inside is completely hidden so you can write any kind of message you want and your recipient doesn’t have to worry about it showing when she displays your card.
Here’s a higher shot so you can see the sentiment, which was hidden by the barn in the closed position:
This is also for SSS Wednesday Challenge – use at least one die cut and Little Red Wagon – Try something new (this is my first time using the Barn Die-namics).
I made a video:

This is a one-layer card (meaning that I did everything directly on the card base with no additional layers)! To make the colored strips, I die cut the washi tape die from Blueprints 13 from acetate to make a stencil. I then sponged 3 colors of Distress Ink through the stencil at different angles. I stamped a sentiment from PI Overflowing Joy and added some black Darice sequins.
No stamps were harmed in the making of this card! I used a die from MFT (Layered Leaves) and a sticker from the Tim Holtz Small Talk booklet. I simply did the inlay technique with the leaf and added the sticker over top – super easy!
I used Birdie Brown’s Polynesian Paradise – almost the entire set! I stamped the girl with white ink on black pastel paper (the smooth side) and colored her with Luminance pencils. For the background, I stamped all of the image stamps from the set (except the hula girl) in yellow ink on matching yellow cardstock to make my own “patterned paper.” Finally, I stamped the sentiment in black ink. The panel was cut with a die from Blueprints 13. I hope you like it and TFL!
It’s a shadow box card using the new Birdie Brown Mon Cheri stamp set (colored with Copics). I also used the Boutique Window Die-Namics, the English Brick Wall stencil, and the Petal Pattern stencil (used on the inside as “wallpaper”).
Here’s a bottom view so you can see this really is a box:
But it folds flat for mailing and fits inside an envelope meant for a 5x7 card.
Hi all! Today is our monthly DT Dare for Your Next Stamp. This month, our theme is ABC – Anything But a Card. I made some laminated pickle magnets for you:
I used the Dill-ightful stamp set and matching dies. First I used my MISTI to stamp all 3 pickle people in Memento ink. Then I colored them with Copics and overstamped them using the MISTI with Versafine ink. Next I cut them out to the lines and ran them through my laminator in a 3 mil pouch. I used the dies to cut out the laminated pickles and ran them back through the laminator to make absolutely sure they were sealed. Finally, I added some self-adhesive magnet to the backs of each and they’re done!
Please check out the YNS Blog to see all the inspiration from the DT and comment there for a chance to win a stamp set of your choice! TFL!
Hi all and welcome to the September Your Next Stamp New Release Blog Hop! If you’ve been following the links, you should have come here from Anita’s Blog. However if you just happened upon my blog, you’ll want to start at Kymona’s Blog [links at the bottom of this post] because you won’t want to miss a stop!
I’m so excited for this release! We have some really fun Halloween offerings for you, and also some coffee/tea sets, which I LOVE!! Anyway, enough chit chat, let’s get on to my projects!
First up I have a super CAS one layer card:
I used the new Spooky Spells stamp set and matching dies. I stamped the shelf and added the cobwebs and sentiment (all using my MISTI). Then I stamped the 3 bottles on a piece of scrap cardstock and colored them with Copics. I cut them out with the matching dies and mounted them with foam tape onto the shelf.
Next up I have a fun box card with a twist. The twist is that it’s not just a regular box, it’s a takeout box:
I used the new Halloween Phoebe stamp set, the Spooky Halloween Scene die set, and the old Takeout Box die set. It’s so easy to make a box card when the box is already done for you! I just cut off some extra pieces from the die cut and added some strips of cardstock and the scene pieces and I was done! Oh, and I also used our new Spellbound Gumdrops. Here’s a video of the process:
And here’s THE LINK in case you can’t see the video player above.

Now it’s time to head over to Julie’s blog, but before you go, don’t forget to leave me a comment! Happy hopping and shopping!
I cut the base piece from white cardstock and sponged it with 3 colors of Distress Ink. Then I cut the outline from black. I covered the whole base with liquid adhesive, stuck on the outline, then covered the remaining adhesive with super fine glitter. A couple strands of crochet thread is wrapped around this 3x3 card.
Please check out the YNS Blog to see all the designers who have a peek for you today. And then I hope to see you back here tomorrow for our New Release Hop!
This is also for SSS Monday Challenge – use a trio of colors. I hope you like it and TFL!
