Espressily for you | Your Next Stamp

Hey happy Tuesday!  I wanted to ink up some of my newest goodies from Your Next Stamp.

I combined the Brew-tiful Day stamps with The Perfect Blend 6x6 paper pad.  I did buy the coordinating dies for the stamp set, they cut the interior of the mug handles (bonus!).

I managed to upcycle a Starbucks coffee sleeve.  Do you spot the Starbucks mermaid?

I was inspired by Your Next Stamps' Fun Friday Challenge.  The challenge is "let's see smiles"...I interpreted it as coffee makes me smile :)

I used the Fusion sketch challenge:

My first time playing with The Male Room:

Caffeinated Duo | The Rabbit Hole Designs

I wanted to ink up some of other The Rabbit Hole Designs stamps, check out Caffeinated Cat + Caffeinated Dino:

The Caffeinated Cat has been teamed up with Your Next Stamp's The Perfect Blend paper pad.  Isn't that cat hilarious?!  Wait until her coffee kicks in ---> Super MOM.

The Caffeinated Dino, oh she's cute too, right?  Luckily she's had a recent pedicure.

You might not readily be able to tell but the background has been masked off.  I used Catherine Pooler Inks - All That Jazz + Sugared Lavender for the caffeine symbol and Sand Castle for the STAMPlorations stencil.  The sentiment #deathbeforedecaf has been heat embossed in white on black cardstock.  I should have taken a pic of the interior, I stamped the other sentiment:  I'm a T-Wreck without my caffeine (in Sugared Lavender).

Happy BEE day + SALE | Reverse Confetti

Happy Sunday!  How is your weekend going?  Although I'm not in Phoenix this weekend, I'm keeping busy and have been living vicariously through all the Creativation posts on FB/IG.  I'm still working on building up my Birthday card stash and couldn't wait to ink up the Reverse Confetti Happy Bee Day set.

Although I did ink up all of the images in the Happy Bee Day set, I used all but the one lone bloom.  My colors:

Sunshine + Iced Aqua

I've been gravitating to brighter colors these days, probably in anticipation of spring in the pacific northwest.  We had a sneak peek of it for a couple days in a row last week but now it is kind of dreary and drizzly.

I combined the Diagonal Stitches  + Large Eyelet Cover Panel. 

Now is a great time to pick up all your Reverse Confetti wish list items...

The Love You More set is simply adorable!  My preview project was pretty busy.  This time I decided to go mostly clean and simple:

You can never go wrong with rainbow, right?!  I really wanted that couple to shine.  I made my own circle mask and used the Blendabilities brush with various Distress Oxides and a cloud stencil.

I love his rainbow sweater, don't you?  That couple is just too cute and I love to color them.

A really simple design that packs a bit of a punch.  Next up is Lisa Mensing.  In case you get lost along the way,  here's the line up:

Cooler than you were last year | MFT stamps

THIS made me laugh this morning.  I'm guilty of buying things and they sit...and sit...waiting for me to ink them up.  I picked up a bunch of MFT goodies during the holidays and decided to do some llama masking to design a birthday card:

I did a smidge of masking on the Happy Llamadays set.  I teamed it up with the Frosty Friends set.  The Brrrthday sentiment is from Frosty Friends but the Cooler sentiment is from Twice the Wishes.

I recently picked up the Sunrise Radiating Rays Stencil.  I used the Stitched Scallop Edges to follow the sketch and build a snow bank.

I was inspired by this week's MFT Sketch challenge:

and their Birthday Project:

My colors were originally inspired by their color challenge but I opted to so yellow rather than kraft:

Isn't it a sweet set?  Here's how it inspired me:

I couldn't wait to make a shaker card.  I filled it with gold hearts.  The cute couple have been inked up and colored with various copic markers.  I went ahead and inked up a couple houses and clouds too.

The sentiment has been heat embossed in white on black cardstock.  The paper is from Pebbles Inc | Jen Hadfield  |  Along the Way.  I specifically picked out the panels with the most blue because that's D's favorite color.

You're going to love this adorable set!  Next up is Lisa Mensing, here's the listing in case you get lost along the way.

Happy Birthday | Reverse Confetti

I'm changing gears from coffee to floral mode.  Check out Reverse Confetti's Build a Bunch:

I inked up all 20 images from the set and used THIS for my color inspiration.  I'm a huge fan of Rifle Paper Co designs.  I originally used a midnight panel with the Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel but thought it was too 'heavy' and swapped it out with a Mist panel mounted on Midnight.

Happy Birthday is from the Sentiment Essentials stamps and coordinating confetti cuts.  It has been heat embossed in Rose Gold.

I hope to make more birthday cards this year as I always seem to have to scurry to design one.
