More Coffee Lovers

Hi Dear crafty friends!
I hope you are having a great weekend!  I'm having a blast with all the inspiration in the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop.
I have another card to share with you.

This time I used SSS stamp for the cup that I paper pieced using a scrap of an old Stampin Up! design paper. The sentiment is by Lil' Inkers Design. I finished it up with some flowers and wood veneer hearts and cloud.
That's all from me today. Please comment to enter the giveaway from this post.
Have a blessed day!

Before sharing my card,I want to let you know that I have two sets of  crafty goodies to share with two visitors, each package has a new set of SSS stamp, few dies, paper and embellishments some of them I received from a very generous crafty friend and I want to share the blessings. :)

Warm winter wishes

Hi there Crafty friends! Happy, healthy and crafty New Year for all of you! 
This week finally winter came to Alabama (smile), so to celebrate I made a winter card for one of my readers that won the prize from this post and she asked if I could send her the card from that post. As I have already sent said card to another crafty friend, I made another one for her.

I colored the sweet image with Zig Brush markers.
I'm linking this one to the Lawnscaping Challenge Winter Wonderland.

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed rest of the week!

Warm Winter Wishes + Giveaway

Hi crafty friends!
I hope you are enjoying your Holiday Season! I am still in the process of finishing the cards I need to send. But today I'm sharing a special card that I made for the Winter/Holiday-coffee-lovers-blog-hop. 
I'm arriving late to the party, but it's always oh so fun!
So here is my card.

For the background I used a paper I got last Jan in a Simon Says Stamps card kit, the main image is by Lawn Fawn and the die I used to cut the snow bank is also by Lawn Fawn. To finish it up I just added some snowflake sequins. I colored the imaged with Zig clean color real brush markers. To blend the colors I used Wink of Stella and to finish up the cup I covered it with glossy accent.
To celebrate the blog hop and the season I'm giving away a Starbucks gift card.
Thanks for your visit and have a blessed week!

ETA I'm also adding this card to Choux Choux Paper   

More Holiday Style

Hello Crafty friends!
I have another card for my On Line Card Class. This time is for day 7 "Shimmer & Shine Cards". 

To create the background I used embossing paste with the SSS stencil "Falling snow" and then covered it with white glitter. My glitter tray had some green glitter residue that I left there on purpose, so you might  see the soft  green tint in it. The sentiment is by SSS and the Poinsettia is by Spellbinders. I added Wink of Stella to the Poinsettia.

To finish it up I added some sequins and red stickles to the border, a trick that I learned from Julie Eversole here.

I'm also adding this card to Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Christmas.

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed rest of the day!
