This magazine is full of scrapbook pages and tags.  Lots of
inspiration!!!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2020

Hi guys!!
I'm happy to participate in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2020.
I don't think I have missed very many.  Always amazing inspiration!!!

You guys do know you can participate too.  All you need to do 
is create a new card with the theme of coffee, tea, hot chocolate or
hot apple cider.  Upload your card to (Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog) 
and you could win some great prizes!!
 That is always fun!!!

I am creating with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps as my focal image.
I am also creating with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and a stencil by 
Darkroom Door.
 I'll have links to the supplies at the end of the post.

I used a #12 tag and folded it in half to create a card.
The card background was created using Distress Oxide inks and 
a stencil by Darkroom Door.  The focal image was stamped
using Archival/Jet Black ink. The books and coffee cup are by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. The image is colored with
Distress Oxide inks.  The stamped words are adhered with
3D Foam squares by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

The inside of the card is a great place for a coffee/tea treat.
Always yummy to dunk a homemade cookie in hot
coffee or tea!

Winter Cardinals by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using the Winter Cardinal
by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  This is a newly released stamp.
Guys, it is gorgeous!!!! We have Cardinals
 here on the ranch, so this stamp was a must have!!!

Card #1

This is the card on the left.  I used Panpastels for the sky (clouds)
and coloring the scene.  When I was finished I decided to redo
the Cardinal on the fence from a him to a her.  Easy to do that, just erase the 

color.  Then recolor with grey.  The snow and fence have Pixie Dust
for added sparkle!!

Card #2
This card is created using Distress Oxide inks.  I treated the inks like
watercolors. I used white acrylic paint for the snow on the fence and
tree.  Added a tag at the top for added interest.

  Would love to see you join us over on the

Fans of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps FB page.

Epiphany Crafts ~ Fun!!!

Hi guys!!

Hope you had a great weekend~

I have been creating something fierce.   It is so good to get in the Zone:)

You crafty peeps know what I'm talking about. Can't wait to show you :)

Today I have a couple of projects I did for Epiphany Crafts~

I stamped the image on the fold of the paper, to make the card/tag.  The image is by Darkroom Door and the lens is covered with the EC round 25 bubble cap.  Perfect fit!!!!

These were really fun to make.  I ran the bottle caps through the Big Shot to flatten them out.  The EC round 25 bubble cap fits perfect over label.  I added magnets to the back, to make a cute gift set (except they are on my fridge).

The Scrabble Tiles are covered with the EC square 25 bubble cap.  Cute, fun projects!

See ya tomorrow for~

Bird card tags!!

I taught my journal class at Craft Crossing Saturday and had a wonderful time with Pam and the girls!!! We did this tag as our "bonus" project.

All you need is a 4"x4" piece of Kraft cardstock and 3 3/4"x3 3/4" piece of pattern paper. I used some scraps of Jenni Bowlin paper left over from the journal. I used the birds by Spell Binders and added a tag for the hemp or ribbon. Finished off with some buttons and the sentiment.

I also sprayed the cards with Glimmer Mist or Perfect Pearls, to give them a shine and a distressed look. This is a perfect tag/card for you to make with your scrap papers!!! Thanks for stopping by and do something "crafty" this week-it will make the week go by quicker!!!

Tag card!

This is starting to be my "signature" card. I love making these and being able to tie them to the gift instead of covering all your work up with an envelope makes me love them more!!! They are quick and you can decide if you want them to be dressed up or down.

The size is 4"x4" Kraft cardstock. I used Glimmer Mist. mask and cut the scalloped circle out with my Spellbinder dies. The bird is also a Spellbinder

die - just added a button for charm and some twine or hemp. Remember to leave a comment or better yet, sign up to be a blog follower and your name goes in twice for the stamp sets. I will post a winner Tuesday!! Thanks for stopping by!!!!
