National Coffee Day

For my Nat'l Coffee Day card today, I am using STAMPlorations products [one of the sponsors]; The Coffee House Collage Paper [again], along with the Retro Coffee Signs ATC, and a sentiment from the Coffee & Mondays Stamp Set.

I just adore these retro ATC's!  Just fun.  Did you know that STAMPlorations offers an ATC Subscription?  It's an awesome price point!

Sheri is offering 2 - $10 prize codes to the two randomly drawn commenters from the STAMPlorations Blog and the Design Team Member's blogs. [You can get those over on the STAMP blog]

You can use my code too!

The main hop is over on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog. Pop on over and see how the hop works, and how you can maybe win some prizes~

September Instagram Embossing Folder Hop

Due to traveling, I wasn't able to join in last month's hop, but I'm back in the swing for this month!

The theme this month is Autumn.  I grabbed a card panel and embossing folder and went to town!

I randomly inked up the card panel before embossing.  Once embossed, I swiped inked over the raised portions for some more  depth.  Using another inked card panel, I cut out the SS Abundant Leaves Wafer Dies, and individually inked the parts of the SS Layered Berry Bird.  Once I adhered the bird together, I adhered all to my embossed inked panel with some glue, and some dimension tape.

Lastly, I added a foiled sentiment, and glued the completed panel to a card base.  Yep, I am quite smitten with this end result!  You can see the entire hop over on Instagram HERE.

AAA Cards Challenge #324 - Follow My Lead

This challenge we are following Helen:

I needed 1 Halloween card [for my grandson].  This is my least favorite "holiday", but, it is my DIL's favorite, which in turn, will probably be my grandson's too.  Therefore, the card.

Since ghosts are suppose to be "see-thru", I didn't bother coloring him.  Works for me.

Your turn!  How does Helen's card inspired you?  Come on over to AAA Card Challenge #324 and play along.

CutCardStock Day

Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying designing for this company? [Yes, yes I have, I know 😉] I love the card stock they carry, and their prices are just amazing!

For my card today I used the following card stocks: Textured Humming Bird Teal for the card base, Textured Caribbean Blue, Red Pepper, Textured Scottish Highlands Green, and lastly, Solar Yellow.

I just adore the texture on these papers!  I scored a few lines on the left of the card base, adhered a doily die cut, added a Spellbinders floral image, and grabbed a foiled sentiment from my stash to finish off my card.

Yep, I'm happy!

See you next month~

Just Us Girls Challenge #842 - Stencil Week

I do love a good anything goes challenge!

I went digging through my stencils and found one that said Use Me!  I did.

I love the deco feel of this stencil!  I added some [really old] Spellbinders Feather die cuts, along with a fun sentiment.

This puppy is done!  Yep, I am happy with this end result too.

Your turn - grab any stencil, create a card, and upload it over at JUGS #842!  Easy peasy.
