Hot Cocoa Card #3

Since images using hot cocoa are acceptable in the 2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop I decided to use a little cutie I had purchased and quite frankly, forgot I owned even until I ran across it in my box of coffee themed supplies. Am I ever glad I found him as he is adorable.

I used the Stampingbella stamp set called The Penguin and the Marshmallow. After I had colored him in with my Bic markers I brushed some blue color around him. I added the sentiment and then die cut it with a Gina Marie Die. I covered my card base with some pattern paper from Gina K. Designs and over the top of that paper I then placed my little penguin.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope many of you will take time to enjoy the current coffee hop as well.  The dates and web address are on the logo on my side bar. I will be back later with more coffee, tea or hot cocoa goodies.

God bless,

Coffee Card #2

2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It's that time again for the 2019 Fall and Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I do have a few cards that I will be sharing off and on this week. Here is my first one. I hope you like it. The logo is off to my side bar with the dates in case you want to join in on the fun!

I thought a football themed card would work well and for us in our area it can often be a cold evening attending a game and hot coffee or hot cocoa is always welcomed. The helmet die is one from Cheery Lynn Designs and the cup and sentiment are from Stamplorations. The sentiment on the helmet is from Gina K. Designs. I added all these elements together with some pattern paper I found online from Scrapbook Customs. And any card stock used is from Gina K. Designs.

We are having a brief warm up here now with daytime temps reaching the mid forties. Our lowest temp so far was 15 degrees above which was yesterday. So believe me hot cocoa is a good thing now.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting.

God bless,
Verna

Distressed Pattern Paper Christmas

This card is another I did with the digital pattern papers from the Artsy Stampers Digitals. This time I chose to use the green distressed design. I also had an already die cut lacy border from Crafter's Companion that I thought would work well with that paper. When it was added it reminded me of a table cloth we once had that was adorning our table for many Christmases.

I stamped a Merry Christmas from a set by Sparkle N Sprinkle (no longer in business) which I thought looked great with it. And, I added some gems along side of it. Also I used some green and red plaid ribbon to add to my design as I thought it dressed it up a lot and that way covered the seam between the pattern paper and the die cut design.

This will be my last entry into the Artsy Stampers Digital Challenge #2-Pattern Paper. I have made several cards this week with this digital set and although I am not really good at digitals I do find ways of making use of them by going to a Word doc. and then fussy cutting my designs. This pattern paper was so lovely I thought it was able to be used on it's own without adding another poinsettia.

Thanks for visiting and I hope your week is going well.

Digital Christmas Card

One of my favorite things to use on Christmas cards is poinsettias so when I saw this digital set from Artsystamper Digitals I could not resist buying that Zip file. So with the use of this set I made a card to add to the Artsystamper Digital Challenge #2-Pattern Paper. This card will work for the challenge as not only do you get pattern paper but you also get the lovely poinsettia. I love all of it.

I chose to use the already colored poinsettia as it was so perfect with the beautiful pattern paper. And, I tried to find a green card stock that would work with the same colors and that was what I used for the card base. The sentiment is one from Sparkle N Sprinkle which is a company that is no longer in business. But the font on that sentiment looked so beautiful to me and I thought it the perfect one for this card.

This was my afternoon activity today. I am happy with the way it turned out. I may have to make several with this poinsettia now as not having to color really helped make it go together a lot faster. Although fussy cutting was a bit challenging for me.

Well, I wish all a happy weekend. And, I hope you can get in some crafty fun too. Thanks for all the lovely comments you leave me too.

God bless,

October Rudolph Days

Here is the card I made for the October Rudolph Days challenge. I used a tree stamp from Impression Obsession and the digital Toyland Bears stamp from Jan's Digi Stamps Digital Stamp Shop. I thought the two of them went great together. I also decorated the tree with various colors of rhinestone gems.

I did some ink blending with my brushes around the tree and then added a sentiment from Gina K. Designs. It was a fun and easy card to do. The Toyland Bear was fussy cut with my scissors.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend.

God bless,
Verna

Pattern Paper Christmas

I have so much beautiful pattern paper and I decided I have to  use more of it if at all possible. So with that in mind I chose this pretty paper and took a larger sentiment and tried to make that the focus of my card too. I hope I succeeded.

Supplies used:
Gina K. Designs Season's Greetings Paper Pack
Gina K. Designs Small and Large Circle Dies
Gina K. Designs A Very Merry Christmas stamp set
MFT Die-Namics Stitched Die from the Blueprints 29 die set

Gina K. Designs Cranberry Tart Ink
Crafter's Companion Dotted Glue Tape Runner

I am entering this in the following challenges:
Artsystamper Digital Challenge #2-Pattern Paper
Mod Squad Challenge-Sentiment Says It All

This was a very quick card to make once I found all the supplies for it. Using the pattern paper is a great way to dress up a card.

Thanks for the visit and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day and week.

God bless,
Verna
