Llama Wishes

A friend gave me some old papers that she was purging from her stash, and this patterned paper was among them. This llama print is by Paper Studios and I knew just the stamp to combine it with. I pulled out the llama stamp by Craft World, and coffee cup die by MFT. The vellum was also part of the destash, and I used stitched rectangle dies by Gina Marie Designs. A bit of pink twine, and  stamped sentiment by Simon Says Stamp...and I am done!

Tea Time

 It looks like I'm going heavy on the tea themed cards this week, although I'm actually a coffee drinker most of the time. Of course, a nice cup of tea is always great on a cold fall day, so I'm fine with either. The patterned paper is by Making Memories and I used a digital stamp image that I received in a grab bag from a blog friend. The sentiment is by TCP studios, and everything is colored with alcohol markers.

Enjoy Your Day

I'm on a roll with making coffee and tea cards the past day or two, and having so much fun. I'm digging deep into my very old stash in the hope of making a small dent (who am I kidding though?). The papers are magazine freebies, and I used a coffee cup die by MFT, along with flag die by LDRS. The sentiment is from Tiny Birthday Words by Simon Says Stamp.

Birthday Tea

I was introduced to rubber stamping way back in the early 1990's and the first time I ever heat embossed an image was at a D.O.T.S. stamping party at our local YMCA. Wow, it was like magic to see that powder melt into shimmer and shine! The demonstrator had us stamp and heat emboss tea cups and tea packet images, but they were left uncolored, as we never got past the heat embossing. That image sat in my stash for nearly 30 years and it was time for me to toss it or color it. The fussy, outdated style didn't inspire me one bit (which is why it sat so long) but I decided to color it in a bright green and use an ink smooshed background to give it a more modern look. 

The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions, and the cup and tea bag are fussy cut and water colored. Thank goodness this is finally colored and on a card, and I don't have to look at it every five years when I reorganize my craft supplies, ha!

Cup of Tea

 I recently won a prize package from Pink and Main, and when I received my prize today I was so inspired that I immediately inked up this set of stamps. The set is Perfect Blend, and the papers are Sweater Weather, also by Pink and Main. The die set is by My Creative Time, and I colored everything with alcohol markers.

Penguin Greetings

When I saw a couple of challenges that called for slimline dies, I had to pull out my two die sets and make this Christmas card. The stitched slimline rectangle set is by Kat Scrappiness, and the holly ovals are by Creative Expressions. I added some cute penguins from the Penguin Agenda by Mama Elephant, and die cut trees by Little B. The joy sentiment die is by Taylored Expressions and not sure who makes the sentiment stamp.  I even managed to use some very, very old Provo Craft paper that has been in my stash for at least 10 years! For some reason, I'm having a lot of trouble with my card photo and the penguins look blue, rather than the dark gray I colored them.

For You

I bought a really thick pad of card making papers by Colorbok years ago, and have been slowly pulling paper from it to make cards. There are so many different designs in the pad that I've been able to make every card look different. This one uses a circle frame stamp by Gina K Designs, a sentiment die by Lawn Fawn, and papers by Colorbok.

Dream

I taught card making classes at the local senior center before the pandemic shut everything down, and one very early technique that I showed my group was how to make a fan design from a circle. Back then, I didn't even own a die cut machine so we cut the circles out by hand. You cut the circle in half, and then slice it into pie shaped pieces. The half circle can be stamped, inked, embossed...whatever you wish. A bit of inking around the edge gives it charcter and then it's ready to be turned into a fan. It was actually a good technique to show them, since no one else had a die cut machine either! I used a stamp by Club Scrap, and a small asian coin stamp by Inkadinkado. The sentiment is by Dimensions.

Autumn Tag

I always love the warm colors of autumn, and I also added touches of gold to this tag. The floral stamp is an old one by Stampin' Up, and I heat embossed it in gold, then colored with watercolor pencils. The tag is also heat embossed in gold, and the mat is a scrap of handmade metallic gold paper that I found at an outlet store years ago. The sentiment is by BoBunny, and the raw silk ribbon is by Really Reasonable Ribbon
