Cool Coffee Cat

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope everyone is enjoying the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

I love all the different images and styles.  Great way to be inspired for the 30 day coloring challenge starting 6/1.....

I pulled out an older Craftin Desert Divas image and erased his tropical drink to replace it with a large iced coffee...because, well, coffee! 
This is Cool Cat digital from Craftin Desert Divas
Sentiment is from gracielliedesign 
The postage stamp is from Little Acres Designs
I colored the images with copics and did copic backgrounds.
I added the iced coffee (from sweet stamp shop) the shades got glossy accents and the glass got glazed pen.  I wanted a postcard look so I cut out the images and framed them in white. Added with postage stamp to finish the look.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Chocolate Lab Love

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have one more post with the new Flynnes Puppies for Jessica Lynn Originals
This is a one layer card,  I keep a bunch of these die cut fancy frame panels from 110 lb Recollections cardstock.  I stamped the puppy and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the puppy in copics. I did my shading with colored pencil and added some details with gel & glaze pens. Glossy accents for those cute puppy eyes.  I used copics for the blue in the background and distress ink to highlight the sentiment.  I added some yellow stickles for a a little interest in the background.


Stop over to the Love Your Pets Hop and link up your project to help out a local rescue & see all the cute pets!!!  
Thanks for stopping by.

STAY CRAFTY!

Oh Corgi!

Hello crafty friends,

Ok this Corgi girl in Flynnes Puppies is the cutest thing ever.
 She's got a flower crown and the cutest little grin.  I loved coloring her and had to do a card and a book marker (for me).


I stamped her with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and cut them with the scan & cut. I colored with copics and added some sparkle to the flower crown with  Specturm noir Shimmer pen. Glaze pen for the nose and glossy accents for those eyes.
I used a rose stencil with distress ink for both backgrounds and used 2 sentiments from the set.  I had to add my sequins  (Shimmer by Craftin Desert Divas) my favorite, as the pick up whatever color is nearby. 
For the card, I popped her up on foam tape to give some dimension. The book marker will be laminated with a ribbon tassel.

Life is Better With a Dog!

Hello crafty friends,

It's been a minute since I did a blog post. I have been busy in the bakery and designing for my Amazon Handmade store, but Jessica Lynn Originals is back with a super cute, furry release!

Jessica is hosting a Love Your Pets Blog Hop that will be featuring the new Puppy and Kitten stamp sets.  This Hop will be raising money for a local Rescue called Lucky Mutts Rescue.  Please come and hop along with us. Every card linked up featuring JLO cat or dog will get a 50 cent donation to the rescue. 

Love Your Pets Hop

I am in love with the puppy set, I have a cute little lab puppy to share with you today.

I stamped the puppy with Memento Tuxedo Black on 110lb Recollections cardstock.
I cute the image on my scan & cut and colored with a base layer of Copic W1-warm grey.
I did all my shading and shadows with colored pencil.  I added some gel & glaze pen details and used glossy accents for the eyes.  This sentiment won my heart right away & I wanted it to share the spotlight with the puppy.  So I used a plaid stamp and let the ink fade out towards the top. the bottom is distress ink. I distress inked the edges of the square to really draw you to the sentiment. I added some sequins, because, well, sequins.  I used a black base and corner cropped the top edges. Taped it all down to a bright pink 5 x 7 card and we are all done.

My projects from the hop will be donated to a local pet rescue here in Savannah -Coastal Pet Rescue.
I love Jessica's Dog stamp sets and I've been working on a bunch of cards with them to donate to the Rescue.

Please check out all her cute stamps Jessica Lynn Originals & here is a link to the puppy set 

Thanks for stopping by, I will have some more puppy projects as the hop continues. 

STAY CRAFTY!
