2016 Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

It's that time again for the Coffee Lovers Bloghop!  I just love creating coffee themed cards. For this card I used Sweet Stamp Shop and My Favorite Things Stamps.  I kept it summery with the POP of lime green.

I created my own patterned paper with the to go coffee cup from Sweet Stamp Shop and cut it into a strip.  Then I colored up the cute coffee house also from Sweet, fussy cut that out and popped it up on a foam dot. Added some matching washi tape to finish it off and a sentiment from an My Favorite Things stamp set. 

Thanks for stopping by!

MFT Sketch Challenge #275

Happy Monday!!!  I had a bit of scrappy time to myself this weekend and was able to play along in a few challenges!!!!  I finally, got out my MFT Stamps! 

I used Polynesian Paradise, since summer is practically here. In Florida, it's always summer, right ?Here is the sketch I had to follow below. 

I used the Stitched Circle Stax Dienamics,  Blueprints  20 set for the banner. I masked the flowers around the pineapple, and colored just bits and pieces for a soft look. 

I hope you enjoyed this card. I am off to work!

An Ombre Spring

Hi there! Happy Thursday! Yes, it's almost Friday! Whoop Whoop!  Since, it sorta feels like spring here in Florida. I decided to use the "Easter Scrambled" stamp set and my new Hero Arts Neon Ombre Ink Pads.  If you haven't noticed I've been addicted to them right now! 

These inks are great for solid stamps, like the eggs on my card. It really shows off the ombre effect.  I really haven't given my washi tape the love it needs so, I picked some green washi tape and used it as grass.  I paired it with a cloud die from MFT and a piece of ephemera from an Amy Tan line. 

I hope this has cheered you up and your are almost ready for Friday!!!  Be sure to check out more inspiration over at our Facebook Fan Page. Post, your creations using NND and wait for the love to flow! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello all my crafty friends! I found out the other day that the company My Favorite Things is about 40 mins from me. :-) They just opened a retail store, so of course I had to go visit. I was so excited about this cause we do not have many scrapbook stores near us besides the big box kind! I have to travel to Daytona or Orlando to find the good stuff!

My Favorite Things specializes in Clear stamps and Die-namic metal dies. You probably know them as MFT!  They are located in Eustis, FL in Lake County. So if you are in the Central Florida area (Sanford, New Symrna Beach, Mt. Dora, Deltona) Then it's a short little ride to a quaint little town!
