Winter is here…. For me it is time to bundle up and stay inside! It is only because I was not made for cold weather… HAHAHAHA… But, my friends, it is never cold when you are around me!!!

Today, I made this mixed media card with this penguin using:

– Winter Hugs Clear Stamp Set
– Winter Hugs Die Set
– Diamond Tile Stencil

I created the background using Distress watercolor pencils (set 1,2,3) and white acrylic paint. And then I put the stencil on it and using some White Coconut Gelatos to add the texture on it. I added the background panel on the card with permanent adhesive runner.

I stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and I dried the ink with a craft heat gun. I colored the image using Altenew Artist alcohol markers and after coloring them, I cut them with the matching dies. I added them to the card with permanent adhesive glue.

For the sentiment. I stamped it on a white cardstock with black ink and then I cut it with the label die. I added to the card with thin 3D foam tape. And I embellished the card with some of those snowflake sequins.

Stay warm… Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Hello everyone… I hope you all have been having fun blog hopping and playing along with the 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Today, I am sharing this Comfort and Joy Red Cup Mixed Media Card at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog. As you all can see…the spirit of Holidays is in me now… LOL… Also, happens today is Starbucks Red Cup Day.

I made this red cup mixed media card using Super Sponsors:

• STAMPlorations 
• Catherine Pooler Designs
• Therm-o-Web 
• Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used some goodies from Super Sponsor STAMPlorations Paper Goods Grab Bag. The fun of this grab bag is that you never know what you’ll get but I can guarantee that this Paper Goods Grab Bag will surprise you will fun things to use on your projects.

I used Super Sponsor Catherine Pooler Designs Ink Pads on the background mat to create the watercolor background. I cut the watercolored paper with STAMPlorations – Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. After that, I taped the Holly leaves ARTplorations stencil on the watercolored mat with the Therm-o-Web Purple Tape, added some embossing paste, and then I sprinkled with some glitter embossing powder and heated it up with craft heater.

I needed some patterns for the background. I stamped this Catherine Pooler Designs – Candy Cane Background Stamp directly on my front card with the Rockin’ Red Catherine Pooler Ink Pad with Mini MISTI. And look at that background!! LOVE IT!

I added the holly embossed background mat, coffee cup, and the sentiment on the card with E-Z Runner Grand from the Super Sponsor Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. I embellished the card with clear gems.

That’s my card today… I hope it brings you joy… Thanks for stopping by today!

The 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Link-Up Party is LIVE now!!! There are TONS of caffeinated projects and you can link up your project for chances to win prizes from our amazing Super Sponsors!!!

For this Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop, I was inspired by the Red Cup season when I made this card using the Super Sponsor Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps.

I started with creating the background using the Diamond Tile Stensil. I taped the stencil on watercolor paper and put it inside my mixed media spray box. Then, I sprayed the Distress Oxide spray paints (Set 3). I removed the stencil and dried the paper with a craft heater.

I added some splatters on it using white acrylic paint and gold metallic watercolor paint. I dried the panel again with a craft heater and then I trimmed it into 4.25 inches x 5.5 inches. I added it to the card base with Scrapbookadhesive by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.

To create the poinsettia red cup, I used:

• I Like Big Cups Clear Stamp Set
• Poinsettia Greetings Clear Stamp Set

I stamped the cup on red cardstock and white cardstock and then heat-embossed them with gold embossing powder. On the red cup, I masked around the cup and lid with masking tape, and I stamped and heat-embossed the poinsettia image. I cut the lid from the white cup and added it to the red cup with Scrapbookadhesive by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.

On a green cardstock, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment using the new Creative Worship: Get To The Point Alpha Clear Stamp Set. After that, I trimmed it and added it to the card with Scrapbookadhesive by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.

I added the red cup to the card with 3D foam tape and then embellished the card with some gems.

So, that’s my version of the red cup for this season… How about you? It’s your turn to create a cup of cheer and link it up with our 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I cannot wait to see your project.

Hello artzy friends… Today, I would like to share with you all this Heartfelt Hugs mini slimline mixed media card.

As you can see this mini slimline mixed media card has some layers. I started with the Triangle Accent Hot Foil plate and Spellbinders Gold Glimmer Foil sheet to create that grungy look foiled background on a white cardstock and cut it with the large rectangle die from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Die. 

Next, I cut a piece of black cardstock using two sizes of the rectangle dies from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Die. I added the black frame on top of the foiled background panel with a permanent adhesive runner. I added them on the mini slimline card base with a permanent adhesive runner.

I cut the Woodland Animals pattern paper from the Fall Harvest Collection Variety Pack using the tag die from Mini Hugs Tag Die and I added it to the card with a permanent adhesive runner.

On heavyweight watercolor paper, I stamped the sunflower from Hello Sunshine Stamp Set with Artzy Totaly Black Ink Pad. After that, I cut it with the matching flower die from Hello Sunshine Die. I sprinkled some of the watercolor powder (yellow, orange, and green), and then I sprayed it lightly with water. I dried it with a craft heater. After it dried completely, I added it to the card with a permanent adhesive runner.

For the sentiment, I stamped and heat embossed the word “heartfelt” with gold embossing powder and cut it with the matching die from Hello Sunshine Die. I cut gold cardstock and white cardstock using the word die “hugs” from Mini Hugs Tag Die, and then I stacked them together with dries-clear adhesive glue. I added both sentiments to the card with permanent adhesive and 3D foam tape.

I stamped the bee image three times on a white cardstock with Artzy Totaly Black Ink Pad and then cut it with the matching bee die from the Hello Sunshine Die. I colored them with a yellow alcohol marker and added them to the card with 3D foam tape.

That’s my Fall inspired mini slimline mixed media card for today, I hope you all like it. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a blessed season!
