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!

TGIF and celebrate card

 

yay..it's friday! the weekend has officially started. hope every one has some fun things planned this weekend!

i have an all day crop to attend tomorrow with a bunch of my crafty friends. i'm so excited..can't wait! comment and tell me what you are doing! i'd love to hear about it. :) so, i made another card today just to have when i need one. i find that cards are so much faster so i can actually finish one of them in a bit. a layout takes me forever and i'm usually still not happy with it! for this card i used kraft cardstock for the base, my minds eye papers, (both sides of one) my close to my heart cricut cartridge for the cupcake cut at 2 1/2 inches, ctmh cupcake stamp,  (if you haven't seen this the cartridge has stamps with it and tells you exactly what size to cut it so you can stamp it with for a perfect fit) viva decor pearl pens for the "pearls", glue arts dimensional dots, inkadinkadoo inks (brown and black), a piece of ribbon from my stash, and my threading water border punch by fiskars, and a stapler. i have had the viva decor pearl pen for a long time and never think to use it. i think it looks pretty nifty! lol well, that's my card for today, kids!  ;)  thanks so much for dropping by! i hope you have a great, crafty weekend! xo,hl

easy bake oven-kory's sketch

hi all..tonight (last night) i went to a blog that i follow called scrapiverse. you can find it here http://scrapiverse.blogspot.com/ ...anyway, kory posted a couple of sketches he made up earlier and i told him i'd give one a shot. i actually have never used a sketch before. i just start cutting and gluing and it's always a suprise..lol i like how it turned out..it was cool having something to look to know what you need to do next. so, since this one turned out pretty good, maybe i will try another one of kory's sketches when i get some extra time. thanks kory! for the layout i used papers by the paper studio,cloud nine design letters for the title,and prima got flowers.i used my cricut to cut the circle at 10.5 inches and threading water border punch by fiskars. :) i worked on cleaning up my crafting space most of the day/night. i felt the need to try it out so, i found kory's sketch at the perfect time! hope you all have a great weekend! thank you for stopping by to visit my blog!! xo, hl
