2025 National Coffee Day Instagram Hop!

The Coffee Loving Papercrafters are hopping over on Instagram with lots of sponsors to celebrate National Coffee Day!

I stenciled the cup with an AJVD stencil.

And I created this one using products from Brass & Bliss Craft Co.

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - September 2025 Edition

It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas Cards we made this month!

I've used mostly pieces from my stash.. that Christmas tree from AJVD with Deco Foil ornaments... those adorable pups and sentiment from Avery Elle that I had stamped and die cut previously but not used yet.  The fun frame from Avery Elle also cut for a previous project and not used.

I created the background by stenciling some Transfer Gel Duo onto a plain piece of cardstock and adding Opal Deco Foil when it was tacky.

Thanks for stopping!  Hope you enjoyed your visit and be sure to head on over to Debra and Michael's places to see what they've created for today!

Weird World - Miss Ink Stamps

Have you checked out the mini die sets over in the Miss Ink shop?  I used the fun Flying Keys set for this one!  I cut the wings from a gel print and the keys from some gold glitter paper.  The magnolia was cut from a gold foiled gel print.

I used the Nested Keyholes die to create a window and then the Scene Builder Clouds stencil to make a cloudy background.  A few spatters and a sentiment from Wonderland Wisdom.

I'm playing along with Double Trouble Aperture Challenge!  Hope you'll join me there!

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and hope you'll come again soon.

Big Shiny Birthday Balloons - Your Paper Insider

I've used some of my favorite papers from the current Your Paper Insider quarterly subscription box along with purple glitter paper from prior boxes and some new dies from Stamp Market for this one!

How about that metallic???  Yum!  I created the background with a gorgeous purple paper and a Free With Purchase stencil from Miss Ink.  I added Therm O Web Transfer Gel Duo through the stencil and let it dry.  Then I ran it through my Fuse with deco foil.  I popped the balloons up onto the background and then cut a bunch of stars from the silver glitter paper and created a star covered balloon and scattered a few around on the background.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping.  Hope you'll come again soon!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - Java Merry Christmas!

It's time for a new Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  This month we're inspired by Pixie Dust Designs and I'm sharing a card using some items not really meant for the holidays, but with a few add-ons, they sure are fun for the holidays!

I used the Unicorn Mug Dies along with some extras from the Penguin Mug (scarf) and Snowman Mug (Holly).  I cut the pretty mane from pink gel print and foiled green gel print.  The alicorn was cut from gold glitter paper.  Holly leaves were cut from foiled toner paper and the berries from pink glitter paper.  Scarf background was another pink gel print and stripes from more foiled toner paper.

For the background I die cut another pink gel print I made with acrylic paint and foiled it with a leftover deco foil sheet from foiling one of the Lavish Lace card fronts.

That's me for today.  Be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafter's blog to see what everyone has for you today!
