Today I'm playing along with the SUMMER 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! This Hop is so FUN and there are going to be TONS of FUN Prizes too!!  =) You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog for more details on how to play along!! Here's the SWEET Scene Card I've made for today!!

 

 

 

SQUEAL!! I've used some of the NEW Paper Smooches Products to create this SWEET Card!!
As soon as I saw the Kind Bear Die I just KNEW I had to make it a BEAUTIFUL Panda Bear!! I also KNEW that I had to use the Mug from the House Plant Die and use it as a Coffee Mug for the BEAUTIFUL Panda Bear to Hold!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out and HOPE you do too!!?? I Die Cut each of the Dies from some Reverse Confetti Midnight Cardstock, some Reverse Confetti Cloud White Cardstock and some Reverse Confetti Stone Cardstock!! I also used Distress Inks to Watercolor some Distress Watercolor Paper that I used for the Card Base and then used some for the Die Cut Leaves!! I used the NEW Triangles Die to create a FUN Background for the Scene!! Then I used the Flag Tags Die for the Banner Base to the Scene!!  I used a couple different Sets for the Leaves!! I used the Fruit People Dies for on of the Leaves and for the 3-D Bow I created for the Panda Bear!! I used the Poinsettia Die Set for the Larger Leaf and the Book Plates Dies Set for the Ornate Leaf!! I used Copic Markers to add some shading and Details to the Panda Bear Die Cut and then added some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops, White Gel Pen Details, Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen and some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for the Background!! I Layered it all together and then Stamped and Embossed the FUN Sentiment "I made it with my BEAR Hands" on the inside of the Card!! I thought it'd be a FUN Play off of getting a Friend a Special Drink and Snack when needed some time!!??  =)
 Hope you've ENJOYED this Coffee themed Scene Card for today!!??  =)

Hello!!
I'm SO EXCITED to share a New Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge with you for this Week!! I have been working on more Back To School Cards and for some reason I just CAN'T STOP creating them!!  =) I've made a FUN card for today using the  Smarty Pants Stamp Set, Fruit People Die Set, Foliage 1 Dies, School Icons Dies Set and the Borders 2 Dies Set!! I used some October Afternoon Fabric from their Sidewalks Paper Collection Line!! I just LOVED this Collection so when I found the Fabric at a Fabric Store I just had to HAVE it!! =) I Die Cut all of the Images and used my Sewing Machine to Stitch around all of the Apples!! I added the rest of the Die Cuts and Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment!! I wanted it to look like it was the LAST Page in a Notebook so I Die Cut Several of the Paper Edges and then Free Hand Cut the other Edges and Lined them all up together and Stitched them all together to the Card Front!! I REALLY LOVE the way it turned out and its hard to show in the Photos, but in real life it really does look neat!! =)

I made these CUTIE Little Notebooks for the Teacher's and then I made some for my Boys, and my Niece's and Nephew!! The Fabric is a Cosmo Cricket Design from their Baby Jane Paper Collection Line!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Fabric!! I Stitched around the Die Cuts using my Sewing Machine and I was going for a Handmade Look!! =) LOL!! I used the Smarty Pants Stamp Set, Paper Die, Tooth Fairy Die Set, Foliage 1 Dies, School Icons Dies Set  and the Stitched Frames Die Set to create the Heart Hole in the Apple for the Worm to come through!! II added some Burlap Twine and a Vintage Button and my Notebook Cover was done!!  For the Notebook Pages I just Die Cut SEVERAL Printer Paper Die Cuts that I Stitched together!! I Glued the Front and Back Covers to the First and Last Pages of the Notebook Insides to create a Seamless Notebook!! I have ALWAYS LOVED having a Little Notebook for stuff I wanted to write down so I HOPE they LOVE them as MUCH as I Do!!?? I'll be sharing the other designs soon so keep an out for them if your Interested!!??  =)
I HOPE you're feeling INSPIRED!!?? Don't forget to Visit the rest of the AMAZING Paper Smooches SPARKS Designer Blogs to see what they have created!!
