Yup, those critters are ADORABLE, aren't they?! I couldn't help but color them in super sweet pastels. Their mugs coordinate with the plaid panels.

Yup, sorry, more plaid! This stamp set is a great year round set! I decided to feature the stacked mugs!

Picket Fence Studios - First Birthday Party | Sale + Giveaway!

Good Morning + Happy Monday! I'm so thrilled to be celebrating with Picket Fence Studios today! They're celebrating their First Birthday with a month-long party! Be sure to check their blog for all the designers that have partying up a storm!

Today I'm sharing a shaped card project. Be sure to stay with me until the end of my post where I share some super exciting news!

I designed this project especially for today festivities!

I started with the Coffee Cup die. I first cut it from a folded card base, leaving the fold at the top and just cutting right above it.

I inked up a panel with the Rough Around the Edges background and ran it through my die cutter with the Coffee Cup die. I stamped that fun Hello, Beautiful flamingo and colored it with various alcohol markers and then die cut it.

To be able to tuck the flamingo into a stripe panel, I decided to coordinate the color with her hat.

The interior holds the sentiment:

The sentiment is from the Coffee Understands set!

SALE: Use code: PFS20 for a 20% off discount on their entire store!

GIVEAWAY: The very generous Picket Fence Studios is letting me giveaway a $100 Gift Certificate! All you need to do is leave me a comment below by Friday, May 10 at 11:55 pm pacific to be put into the drawing. PLEASE make sure you leave me your email address so that I can reach out to you!

I'm also featuring:

See Through Tag

Party & Celebrate confetti cuts

Sweet Stripes 6x6

Here's a peek at my projects. I'm absolutely smitten with this release.

First up is a card that combines Ice Cream Social and the See Through Tag confetti cuts.

Isn't the new paper, Sweet Stripes fabulous?! I did some minimal coloring and made the ice cream treat pop.

Next up is Party Animals.

I've been noticing a trend of using Distress Oxides for background coverage. Whew, that's tough for me but I gave it a go. Those cute Party Animals are having so much fun!

I combined a sentiment from Party Animals with the Party & Celebrate confetti cuts. I couldn't resist adding a touch of glitz!

Have you checked out one of our NEWEST Super Sponsors, theletterlingo? I recently caught them on IG and of course had to reach out to them to see if they'd be interested in being a Super Sponsor! They're newest set, Tea-rrific is adorable!

Yeah, I colored her like she was me (wink). I love these images for their size. Super easy to paper piece and to color with alcohol markers.

The coffee sleeve is a real one, can't remember from where but it's so cute!

My design was inspired by Fusion Card Challenges:

Creative Fuel | Reverse Confetti

Hello and Happy Friday Eve! I have a clean + crisp card design to share with you today.

I wanted to add 'more' to the pink panel but decided to keep it as is so that the Reverse Confetti Just Brew It image would pop!

Love how the confetti cut also cuts the interior of the mug handle. That always makes me a happier crafter (wink).

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches:

..and the Color Throwdown:
