Hello Friend

Hi crafty friends! Hope your week is going well!  I've been keeping busy with a fussy baby this week but I finally made it in my craft room for a bit today. I wanted to make a card to enter in a few challenges and here it is.

The cardstock and papers are all from my stash. The patterned one is by Pixie Press and I have had it forever! I am glad to finally be using it. :)  The stamp is by Fresh Brewed Designs and it's called "Spicy Pumpkin Latte". Isn't she cute? I used Copics to color in the image. The flower was made with 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon in "Antique White" and a Bo Bunny gem. The other bling and trim are by Webster's Pages. The stamp is by Recollections. I inked the edges of everything with vintage photo distress ink.

Hope you all like my card for today..well, it's tonight now..lol Thanks so much for stopping by to visit! I hope you have a wonderful evening!

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges~

Expresso Yourself-National Coffee Day

Good evening! It's me for the 3rd time today! You getting sick of me yet? lol I got a few minutes to make another challenge card for Fresh Brewed Designs Blog. Today is National Coffee Day in case you missed my last post and there is a fun challenge and sale going on for today only! Here's my card. It's a very quick and easy one!

Here's a closer look.

For my card, I started with kraft cardstock. (My favoritest cardstock ever!) Then, I stamped my "Love Mug" stamp twice on another piece of cardstock and fussy cut just the mug out. (It also has a muffin next to it originally.) I colored the mugs with my Copic markers and pop dotted them on my card. I then stamped the sentiment "Expresso Yourself and the added some washi tapes. That's it! I hope you like it!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Head on over to FBD Challenge blog if you'd like to enter the challenge, but hurry, it's today only!

Hugs,

Hey There Sweet Thing! FBD Challenge

Hi friends! It's almost Friday! That means the weekend is getting closer! :) I have some fun things planned for the weekend including a festival and parade. What do you all have planned? Tonight I have a project I made to enter into the challenge over at Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog. The challenge is photo inspiration and the photo is of a bunch of apples. Here is what I came up with..

I made a cute little gift bag! I used the FBD "hot cuppa Joe" stamp. Isn't he handsome? If you'd like to buy him, you can do that HERE. I used copics to color in the stamped image and I popped him up with pop squares. I used the Country Life Cricut cartridge to cut out the tree. The patterned paper if from a DCWV Christmas stack. The other papers are just misc. pieces from my scrap pile. The Mocha Latte Brown twine is also from Fresh Brewed Designs and you can buy that HERE. I also used my Fiskars scalloped border punch and Vintage photo distress ink and some other stamps for the sentiment. Inside the gift bag I added..

Apple cider packets. How fun is that?! Here's a side view of my bag. You can see the colors better..it's dark right now and my camera isn't taking great pictures.

I hope you like my little gift bag tonight! You can head over to Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog if you'd like to see the rules and enter the challenge, as well! I am going to draw a name for my owl hop tomorrow. I have to go through and make sure the winner followed all of the rules. As always, thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it!! :)

Everything is better with...

Hi crafty friends! Hope all is well with everyone! It's rainy and gloomy here today..good day for crafting. :) Today, I have a card to share with you. It's different than my usual card. Here it is~

For my card I used Fresh Brewed Designs stamp called "Love Mug". I started with a piece of yellow cardstock, then scored and folded my card. I stamped and colored in the image with EK Success archival colored pencils. I inked/distressed the edges and placed it on a cute piece of pink patterned paper, then inked those edges. I glued the image down to just the left side of the card so I could still open the flap. Next, I took a piece of brown patterned paper and used my border punch, then added it along the bottom of the card. I glued and tied some ribbon around then tied a bow to hold the card closed. I added some buttons for added cuteness. I inked all of the edges of my card. On the inside I added the word coffee and some more matching papers from the front of my card. That's it! I think it turned out pretty cute. Here are a few more pictures~

I hope you like my card today! I am entering this into 2 challenges. Fresh Brewed Designs Distressing Challenge and Craft Your Passion BINGO Challenge. I used yellow, border punch, buttons. Thank you so very much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your day!

Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge

Happy Thursday, friends! The weekend is getting closer! What do you all have planned for the weekend? We are going to an apple orchard to the Johnny Appleseed Festival. We go every year and I can not wait to get an apple fritter! lol They have the best ones at Mapleside Farms. Yummmy!

So, today I made a little project for the Facebook challenge over at Fresh Brewed Designs.  They have a blog hop coming up this weekend! You won't want to miss it! The link to the Facebook event is HERE!

The challenge I am entering requires you to do something "EXTRA". If you make a card, it has to have an extra fold, or you have to decorate the inside, or something extra. I decided to make a little 3D purse/treat holder/gift bag. I'm going to put a couple of small fall stamp sets inside and give it to a friend. Here it is..

 I used the CTMH Artise Cricut cartridge and cut the little bag out at 3 1/4 inches. I used DCWV glitter cardstock for the purse and background orange paper. I colored the cute FBD digi image with EK Success colored pencils. Then I used stardust Stickles over the top for some added sparkle and fun! I only glued the image on the top part of the flap so the whole cute pumpkin house lifts up so you can put goodies inside. That's it!

The other day I received some goodies from Yolanda that I had won from the last Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop. Included in the goodies were some really fun muslin bags. Yolie had stamped on one and colored it in for that hop so I borrowed her idea. I used the Fresh Brewed Designs "Crafty Girl" stamp. I love her..she is so cute! I already posted this on Facebook but wanted to share here for all of my bloggie friends that I do not have on Facebook. Here it is~

I added a strip of fabric and twine and a homemade fabric flower  to the bottom with a glue gun. I added a few star buttons and some glitter and it's done! Hope you like it!!


I hope you like my projects I have to share today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Hi friends! Just a quick post tonight to share my Fresh Brewed Designs (digi stamp) card I made today for a challenge. Fresh Brewed Designs has the cutest rubber stamps and digis! They are having a blog hop coming up on August 18th-20th! You won't want to miss it!

Here is the little card I made while visiting Jessica today. Thank you, Jess, for printing the digi for me!

I used the FBD digital stamp called Sweetie Sea Turtle for my card. Isn't it adorable? I don't know all of the names and brands today because I wasn't using my supplies. If you have any questions, you can ask and I can find out from Jess. :) I did use 3 Girl Jam Goblin Green crinkle ribbon..love it!

Thank for stopping by to visit tonight! I need to get in my craft room and clean because it's such a mess, I can't even create in there right now! Have a great night!

Hugs,
Heather Lynn
