Merry Christmas!

This is my last Christmas card/ornament. The end has to be with my "coffee" stamps 😊 (and Hot chocolate! 😋)

I used glossy accent for all the hearts & coffee beans for shiny look. I found "Merry Christmas" in gold color in my confetti stash. The picture doesn't show it but I used Gelly Roll pen for the steam.

These stamps are my favs, and use the set a lot, all year around, me loving coffee/hot chocolate/tea 😊 The set was released for the winter, tho, and I don't use the sentiments as often as I use other stamps in the set. At Lawn Fawnatics challenge #19, they are running the challenge of your fav. Lawn Fawn stamps, so I snuck this little one there. lol 

Hope Santa has brought you something nice & crafty this morning, if you are already in the morning of 25th, and for others, tomorrow morning! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
Blessings!

2017 Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop #2

National cocoa day celebration took place under Coffee Lover's blog hop, and it was on the 13th. I finished this card a day and half later. lol, but I couldn't pass the opportunity to "honor" the National Cocoa day! Although I currently live on a tropical island, the average temp.of 83F all year around, when "winter" comes (meaning, December!), my head tells me to drink hot cocoa! And of course, at the grocery store, they ship those (seasonal food and drinks) from US mainland, according to the calendar, NOT the temperature! Just like October to November, we see pumpkins in the grocery store, and this island doesn't produce pumpkins at all! lol! 

Anyways, this is my card. Since I still needed to make more Christmas cards, I combined the hot cocoa with the Christmas theme. Inside, it says "for a happy holiday"! I imaged the ornament, hanging in the Christmas tree but I didn't have pine needles die, so I used the closest image die I had. Rather a simple card, but "faux stitching" both inside of oval shaped paper & rectangular paper give some interest on the card 😊 Entry #843!

Accordion Birthday card

I made this accordion card for the list mom of the birthday swap I belong. This swap took the sign up in December, and the swap started on Jan. 1, so, my birthday being on 12.31, I'm the last one of the list, the last one to receive, from all the members on this list, the end of the year. But when I signed up, she sent me the birthday card right away, in December. How nice of her! I even received a couple of cards from the members on the list too! So, not to mention she keeps this list, sending the reminder for next month's birthday every month, I thought I would make a card, not a regular 2 folded card, but looks like a little present instead :-) And this is what I made. I got the instruction here. The first picture shows you the inside of this little booklet. All stamps are from Fiskars. I luv wine, esp. RED wine, and that's the reason I bought this set :-) I colored with color pencils, inkpads (using the brush & a bit of water), used copics for shades, and Glossy accent on the wine bottle & glasses. I used Swirl punch on dp around the Grape, to match with the vine. I cut thin pieces from the same dp to make a design on the last page. I also used many tiny pearls on the front and the last page inside. I layered two die cuts using pop up glue dots on each layer, and ribboned through the bottom layer. I really like how it turned out. The base is rather easy to make but it took a while to make a design, to make a book which has a "Story", from the beginning to the end. I'm mailing this tomorrow to our list mom. I'm also submitting this to some challenges.

Thank you very much for visiting my blog today. Have a nice evening! :-)

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #148

I just had fun making this card! For the tea cup & tea pot, i did Paper Piecing! I think these came out cute! :-) And the strawberry icing on chocolate doughnuts! Yum! I had only ONE doughnut stamp so i did masking, making into two doughnuts. Looks MORE yummy! lol! All stamped images are heat embossed, and put 3D glue dots to give some dimentions. ... i forgot that i can make more than one loop ribbon, using my new bow-easy! , so i made 3 loops! LOL! This card ended up looking more whimsical than my ordinary cards. oh, i HANDDREW the team from the tea cup! Very Fun Sketch!

Mojo Monday Sketch Blog - #142 Contest

Birthday cards for Men & an extra!

First card is for Hockey player & fan, and the second card is for an older man. This was the fisrt time i used Jolee's boutique stickers on the card. The skate is a stamp. Inside of the second card, I stamped "Aged to perfection"! The additional card (the 3rd one) is the similar design, made it for another older lady, but it's 3-d on wine glass & wine bottle, and gave a glitter on "happy birthday". I enjoyed coloring wine cards, with watercolor pencils.
