HELLO & HAPPY Monday!!

Today I'm playing along with the WINTER Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

There are going to be TONS of fun Prizes too - 

including a $25 store credit from Newton's Nook Designs!!

You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog for more details on how to play along! 

 

Here's what I created:

With the Holiday Season upon us I like to try and find ways to make Gifts that I can give not just for the Holidays, but throughout the year using my MOST beloved Stamped Images!! If you follow me you know I also LOVE to make Jewelry, so why not combine the two!!??

I Started by Die Cutting the Cup of Cocoa Die Set from some Grafix Shrink Film and then Stamped the Image from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set using MFT Hybrid Black Ink and used my Copic Markers to Color the pieces!! I used a Heat Gun to Shrink them and then I used the Quick Dry Aleene's Jewelry & Metal Glue to add the Metal 8mm Earring Rounds onto the backs of both pair!! In hind Sight, I'd use a Smaller Earring Round, but that's all I had on hand!!

For the Tag I used the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! I layered the Scalloped Tops for a FUN Design using Reverse Confetti Avocado Card Stock!! I Die Cut some of the other pieces for the Special Pieces in order to add the Earrings to the Tags so they are Supported well!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments from the Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set on the bottom of my Tags!! I plan on giving them as gifts to one if my SWEET Friends who just LOVES Coffee!!

Poppystamps Challenge #7 Spring Fever!! =)

Hello!! 
I'm stopping in to share the card I've made for the April Poppystamps Challenge #7 Spring Fever!! I decided to create a Sweet Spring Themed Thank You Card after looking through my Poppystamps Stash!! I have LOVED the Bailiwick Background Die since I first saw it!! There are just SO MANY ways you can use it!!  =) I Die Cut it from some Kraft Cardstock and then colored in the leaves using my Copic Markers in G17 and G24!! I then Die Cut some Small Flowers using the Twenty Fifth Celebration Die from Memory Box!! I won this Die during their Winter Blog Blitz and have LOVED it!! The Flowers are just the right size!! I layered them for a FUN look!! Then I added some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Pistachio to some Distress Water Color Paper for the Base of my Card Front!! I LOVE these colors together and think they make the most PERFECT Sky!! =) I wanted to make a Thank You Card, but I didn't want to cover up all of the BEAUTIFUL Die Cutting I created so I thought a Shaker Card might be FUN!!?? I took the Jumbled Thanks Die and die cut it several times from some Grafix Shrink Film!! Then I used my Ranger Heat Gun and added heat to shrink them as directed on the Directions!! I just LOVE the way they turned out!! I added some Foam Tape to the edges of my Card Front and then added the Thank You Shrink Film Pieces and some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins and my Shaker Card was finished!! I REALLY LOVE the way it turned out and I will defiantly be using this technique again!!  

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
