One Sip at a Time

Good morning!  It's Jeanne here today.  I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the long weekend.  One extra day to craft!  September always puts me in the mood for fall (even though technically it doesn't start for a few weeks and it was in the 90s today!) so today's card has some fall colors.

This card features the adorable Mr Snuggles die along with the Cup of Latte die and new Nested Stitched Eyelet Rectangle Set.

My card base was cut from dark brown cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at the 5 1/2 inch mark to make a top folding A2 card.  I used vanilla cardstock for the front panel and cut it to 4 x 5 1/4.  I die cut a panel from the plaid paper using the largest of the Stitched Eyelet dies and I cut a panel of the striped paper 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches.

I used a sponge dauber and distress ink to color the sides of the bear and cup.  Then I cut the "latte" and steam from the same striped paper. His eyes are colored in with a multi-liner pen.  I love that you can move Mr Snuggles arms to pose him various ways!

After I glued the striped panel to the front I distressed the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I also distressed the edges of the plaid panel.  I used ribbon to mimic the plaid pattern on the front panel,

and I added the sentiment underneath.  The sentiment is embossed in copper on dark brown cardstock cut to 1/2 x 4 inches for the sentiment.

When all the panel elements were glued down, I adhered it to the card with foam strips.  I then added the bear and cup with foam dots.

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you have time this long weekend to be creative!

Make Great Memories

It's Anja here. I had a few days off this week and went to a music festival. I met some awesome new friends and made great memories. And today's simple card is inspired by my latest experience.

I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Phrase Memories, Phrase Smile, Mr. Snuggles, Film Strip, Pierced Circle Set),
- Distress Inks (Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Barn Door),
- white card base (15x10,5 cm),
- grey, black, red and white card stock for the die cuts,
- black&white patterned paper (14,4x9,9 cm),
- black and white pen,
- alphabet stamps,
- Versafine ink pad (Onyx Black),
- paper glue.

First I die cut all the pieces. I used colored paper this time and just shaded it around the edges.

I assembled the card and glued together all the pieces.

Then I added the rest of the sentiment inside the card, using alphabet stamps.

And this is my finished card. 

Mr. Snuggles Gives Thanks & Giveaway!

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all!

Today's card was designed for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. I love being a part of this wonderful team, and have always loved doing the sketches on their site. So for todays card I used CottageCutz Mr.Snuggles.

I colored the pumpkins with YR09, and YR16, the stem is done with E31

Greenery-

Mr. Snuggles and Flower Pot

Hi, all. Vladka is here today. 

Spring is here and also April and funny weather. On Monday when I was creating this card, we had 10 minutes of sun, 5 minutes of rain and then also a little snow. Everything in one. It was really funny and I also had fun with this card. Do you still remember cute little Mr. Snuggles? 

I've combined this die with Bunny Stuck in Flower Pot and Thank you Expression die. Mr. Snuggles is peeking from the pot and wants to say thank you. Everything was colored with Distress Inks and I used my favorite kraft paper for this card. I hope you like it!
