AHSC #199 - Coffee on a snow day?

Happy Monday everyone!! 😃 

Since it is a snow day here, I had some time to check out the AHSC sketch super early. This is the sketch:


And this is my take on the sketch:


I went to Michael's on Saturday and I purchased this Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations coffee stamp/die/embossing folder combination. Anyone who knows me, knows I love my coffee, so it was the perfect set to spend my Christmas gift card on (and when you have a 50% off coupon, how can you say no?!)

I freakin' LOVE how it turned out! It's been awhile since I was SO in love with a card! :) I inked up the embossing folder with SU! Chocolate Chip ink. Pink and brown (particularly the Chocolate Chip colour are one of my favourite colour combinations... so I had to find some pink paper in my vast paper collection. I finally settled on CTMH's retired Ivy Lane collection (another that I have not used because I think it is too pretty! Yes. I am a hoarder.)

The little heart sticker in the middle of the coffee cup is from CTMH Hello Lovely Complements. I stamped the full coffee cup stamp on a piece of CTMH Colonial White cardstock, then stamped it again on another sheet, and used the die to cut one out. I popped it up with some dimensionals. The "Hello Friend" sentiment is popped up too.

Now, off to go shovel some snow for the THIRD time today! :) The blessing is that I have a nice, toasty home to come into when I get done shovelling 💖

Supplies:
  • Paper: CTMH Ivy Lane, Colonial White cardstock, Recollections Kraft, and SU! Chocolate Chip
  • Stamp/die/embossing folder: Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations
  • Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip
  • Embellishments: Hello Lovely Complements

    Your selection of the color combination is a favorite of mine...my favorite dress as a child was this combination. Love the coffee embossing and always love layering and piecing. Beautiful card. Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week.

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Christmas Vibes - in May?

I'm participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop .  My card is does not have a Spring/Summer theme - but it's never too early for Christmas, right? Last year, I started my Christmas cards in January - this year, I waited until yesterday to make my first Christmas card.  I just haven't been feeling the Christmas vibe so far this year. But I am pleased with how this one turned out! Supplies used: Caffeinated Christmas stamp set (sentiment) by Becca Cruger SU! Hang your Stocking (holly leaves) SU!

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
