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.

I was inspired by Seize the Birthday:

You | SugarPea Designs

Hmmm...I promise I do design things other than caffeinated projects:

I combined SugarPea Designs Mugs & Kisses with Knit Wit.  ...Coffee + Knitting.

I was inspired by the photo over on the SugarPea Designs January Mix It Up Challenge:

I also incorporated the CAS(E) this sketch challenge:

I 💜 Winter | Lawn Fawn

So I woke up yesterday and knew that I wanted to design something for the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge.   Evidently I was pretty motivated:

Before I get to the details of the card, I wanted to say that I inked up a total of:

12 Lawn Fawn Stamp Sets

2   Lawn Fawn Stand alone dies

Flamingo Together

Gleeful Gardens

Hedgehugs

Jump For Joy

Nutty or Nice

Snow Cool

Snow Day

Winter Alpaca

Winter Fox

Winter Unicorn

Year Seven

Yeti, Set, Go

Simple Stitched Hillside Borders

Stitched Mountain Borders

Have you noticed something?  Um, no green 💚  I've been steadily gravitating to purples when I craft.   There is so much POP with it.

I started with a bristol panel and inked it up with Milled Lavender + Wilted Violet with my Trinity Blendabilities.  I inked up the edges with Black Soot.  I finished it off with snow by heat embossing the snow stamp in Snow Cool.  The panel has been mounted on an Essentials by Ellen Slate panel.  I cut the Mountain Borders with the same cardstock.

By only working with a handful of copics, it really does make the coloring process 'faster' although this did take a bit of time.  

I finally picked up some fun kraft envelopes that are 4 1/8 x 8 1/2 inches.  You'll be seeing more long cards from me.  I love piling on the images.

Yes, I did manage to add coffee to my card...LOL

The current Lawn Fawnatics - Happy Little Critters inspired all this.

Coffee Break | My Favorite Things

It seems like I'm continuously trying to catch up with my purchases.  I finally had a chance to ink up the MFT BB Friends at First Sip set:

Whew, this card took me FOREVER to color.  To think I was going to do a card duo...nope, not this time.   I did have fun putting together this scenery.  

Can we talk stenciling?  I've had the MFT Stencil Cloud for awhile and finally got the hang of it with the Trinity Blendabilities Brushes.  Good grief, those are life changing.  You can never go wrong with pink clouds.

The girl on the right?  That's def me and that's how I dress...LOL.  I'm loving the coffee cart and the pup.  My friend is fancy in her rainbow stripe dress.

The Rabbit Hole Designs & Coffee Loving Cardmakers Preview for the 10th and 11th

I'm so excited that the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's are collaborating with The Rabbit Hole Designs.  Did you catch yesterday's previews?  Check it out HERE.  

Today we're featuring Caffeinated Octopus and Caffeinated Unicorn.  They're available in The Rabbit Hole Designs shop now!

I'm playing with the oh-so-fun Caffeinated Octopus and this is how I was inspired:

(chuckling)  Isn't she so much fun?!  That's how I feel most mornings!   I decided to go with a fairly soft color palette.  I started by embossing the image with Rose Gold.  She's been colored with various copic markers.

The sentiment?  I don't know if you can ever be too caffeinated (okay, maybe you can).  That has been stamped with Catherine Pooler ink - Twilight.

I love how the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow paper looks with my overall color palette!
