Summertime Joy

My new craft room is pretty much set up and I can find everything I need to make a card when inspiration strikes.  For this card I used Prisma and Koh-I-Noor color pencils on this summery House Mouse image.  The sketch is from Mojo Monday 454.

Summer 2016 Coffee Lovers Bloghop: Thanks A Latte

This is a fun card I made for this year's Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop.  I moved last month and am still putting my craftroom together, but I was able to find a few things to make this card.  I decided to make a little pocket to put a gift card or tag in.  I made the tag using my tag topper punch and used dies to cut the cups out of DP.  I found my almost forgotten stash of eyelets and used those to make the pocket.

Emboss Resist Thank You

I got to play with a stamp set that I have had for a while but have never used.  I love the style of this set but wasn't quite sure how to use it so I went to Pinterest for some inspiration.  I found many lovely examples but this one really caught my attention.  I loved the muted colors in this example of the emboss resist technique.  I added a ribbon and used a "thank you" sentiment for my cards.

Java Joy #1

 

This card was made for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2016.  Coffee,. coffee, Coffee... is aal I talk about at work until that 2nd cup kicks in.  Those that know me, know that I love my coffee and that "decaf" is actually a curse word to me.  My family is of a Caribbean  heritage where as a  child is weened off the bottle or breast, the coffee introduction begins.

This card was made in celebration of coffee.  It is a simple design but for any coffee lover I think the image and sentiments speak for them selves.
