Coffee Lovers Spring/ Summer Hop 2018 - Day 2

On to Day 2 of the Spring/Summer Coffee Hop.  For today's card, I am using Dare 2B Artzy's products.  (All the coffee sets are 10% during the hop, code word COFFEE.)

I went totally clean and simple for this card using Cup of Cheer [with matching die], and Hug in a Mug stamp sets.

 I do love playing in this challenge!  It gives me cards to use for my co-workers!

Heartfelt Creations May Alumni Hop

It's time for the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Hop.  Lots of fun creations to be seen!

For my card, I used Peony Bud & Blossom, with the matching dies.  I also used a sentiment cut out from the Blushing Rose Paper Collection.  My leaves are from the Window Box Fillers, also with matching dies.

I do love the HFC sets that have matching dies!  It makes it so easy to make a beautiful card.

Seize the Birthday

The topping this week; Pattern Paper

 I dug in one of my many pattern paper drawers, and came up with some fun paper.  I used Verve's Coffee Helps stamp set, and matching Cup for All Seasons dies, along with the sketch from Viva la Verve.  [I really enjoyed using this sketch.  It seems like forever since I joined in a sketch challenge.]

I know it seems like this isn't a bday card, but really it is.

Here is the inside.

 I used Papertrey Ink, Big Favorites #24.

(This is a huge milestone birthday year for most of my friends.  That "coffee" will help, LOL).

Ok, your turn.  Come on over and show us how you will use pattern paper on your birthday card.  [You don't have to use the pattern paper, but you must make a birthday card.] 

See you at Seize the Birthday.

Dare 2B Artzy Day

For today's D2BA post, I am sharing the last card I made from the Totally Tracy, Dotted Swirl stamp set. [This is also over on the D2BA Blog.]

For this final card, I started with the Swirl Stencil, and inked it up on the card base.  Separately, I water colored a card panel, and once it dried, I white embossed the stamp set swirls, and a sentiment from Cup of Cheer.  Lastly, I added a water colored butterfly from Butterfly Inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed my card from the Totally Tracy; Dotted Swirls.

STAMPlorations Inspirations #175

The Inspiration Team is still continuing with our theme this month, Things with Wings.

For my card today, I inked sprayed a card panel, and cut it out with a circle die, and also cut a separate card panel for an inlaid circle. I stamped on the sentiment, and used a bird from For the Birds, and dies. Once again, I kept it CAS.  I just love bright color against a white card base.

You can see the rest of the Team's cards HERE.

Don't forget, all things with wings sets are 15% off over at the store.  You can save an additional 20% off by using my code STAMPGIRLVICKID.

It's my day for the CAS-ual Fridays card.

Just Us Girls #441 - Color Week

This is a fun color combination!

Besides the fact that my gray circle looks violet [good grief], I am loving this masculine card.  I used Hero Arts Brush Strokes [retired], and the Happy from Crafty Cutts.  My white embossed birthday is from  Motivet, also retired.  [Actually, the company is OOB.]

Your turn.  Come on over to the Just Us Girls #441 Challenge, and play along.  The gallery will look awesome by week's end.
