October Afternoon Paper - Retired

Hi Friends, 

Welcome to day 3 of the Coffee Lovers Fall Winter Blog Hop!  I hope you have enjoyed this hop as much as I have. I have lots and lots of creative juices flowing now. Everyone is so talented and creative. I love seeing all the different styles and of course, products I don't know about to add to my wish list. 

As I have mentioned, I did some reorganizing and found my Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps called "Coffee and Tea". I just love these stamps and was so bummed when they went out of buisness. There were many more collections I wish I had. Especially the nurse related collection. But you know, so many stamps, so little money and time, lol. So I am glad I picked these up and that I am able to use them now. 

There is so much politically happening right now in the states that I wanted to add this to my post today. 

I really feel that no matter what our beliefs are, there is always room for kindness, and no one group demonstrates this kindness more than the stamping community in my opinion. Over the years I have found so many wonderful people in our community and witnessed so much compassion, sharing, and kindness. Creativity is spiritual to me because so many of us put ourselves into our projects. I want to thank each and everyone of you for being part of my creative world and for being the wonderful people that you are. 

Be well and Stay Safe!

Hi Friends,

Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, another day of fun! 

I had to use the strip of that yummy paper and my new buzzword Coffee die from Honeybees. I just love their entire coffee release. I used more stamps from the Sugarpeas Caffiene addict and I finally used that embossing folder that I just had to have! I love it! 

When I was looking for some dies, I found I had a few Coffee word dies, but they are all in different sizes and shapes, so I am happy I bought them. How many Coffee word dies do you have?

I promise I will be using some different paper this next week, lol. I just love this paper. It's so perfect. 

I cannot wait to see what everyone made this evening, so I am off to hop! 

Be well and stay safe!

Hi Friends

It's day 2 of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I am so excited I have a card for every day, almost two cards for every day, we'll have to see if I can make it two a day. I do have some more ideas in mind and I have stamps and dies that I haven't used yet! Do you do that? I actually consider it two hobbies, one making the crafts and two collecting the supplies, lol. 

This is the first time I have used this Sugar Pea coffee addict set and I just love it. I hope you don't get tired of seeing this paper because once I broke it open and started using it, I just kept going. I have already explained my panick of actually running out and purchased another, lol. 

Have a great day hopping! I am so inspired by everyones fabulous creations. 

Be well and stay safe!

Stampin Up - Press On

Paper also Stampin Up Heart Warming Hugs

Hi Friends,

This gift card holder card was designed by my Stampin Up Demonstrator and we did a social distance stamp - a - stack. I love this adorable design and it will come in handy for Christmas gift card sending. Those little cups are so adorable. Love this festive paper as well. I think I did six of these, they were so easy to assemble together. 

I hope everyone is having fun hopping around in the fall/winter coffee lovers blog hop. I know I am. I love seeing everyone's creativity! 

Have a great time!

Be well and stay safe!

Hi Friends, 

It's time for the Fall and Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Whoo Hooo! I love creating for these events and I love to see what everyone else has created. 

I have been slowllly but surely reorganizing some of my stamps. My daughter suggested I put all my Coffee stamps together, instead of by company or just in a stash. I have Art Bin organizers that I take the innerds out of and that is how I keep all my stamps. I may or may not have more than a few, lol. But one large bin is dedicated to my Coffee stamps and I really love seeing them all in one place. Which brings me to this stamp set. This is only the second time I have used this set and really I think it was years and years ago. It was like finding an old friend because I remember how much I really wanted this set and how excited I was when I finally bit the bullet and purchased it. 

The other thing I have done is started to organize my 6X6 pads into themes. It has made things so much easier. I was so happy to add this Honey Bee Fresh Brewed to my collection....and then I got a little nervous because I am really liking this paper a lot, lol. So I bought a backup pad. lol. I know, they will make more but it makes me feel better and I tend to use them more if I have a back up. So silly. 

I watched an older Jennifer McGuire video over the summer and picked up a few tips. I made 100 card bases and 100 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 fronts. Just having these premade and handy has really juiced up my creativity because things just got a whole lot easier with one step done. Have the fronts all cut up to just grab and use for stamping or a card front has cut down on the time. When I only have a small window of time to craft, this really has helped me out a lot. 

I hope everyone has fun hopping around! 

Be well and stay safe!
