Blog Hop with Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Spring & Summer

Hello Stampers,

Vicky here to share a couple of coffee cards with you. I have so much fun making coffee cards while I sip, actually gulp on a cup, more like a soup bowl full of coffee so I have 3 cards to show you. We have over 100 drink stamps. If you want to take a look here is the link! 

The first card is with Esther and on of our In The Freezer saying.

It's a simple card with simple coloring, it's just that simple.

I stamped and Esther and saying and then cut off the bottom of the card and just added BoBunny card stock. 

Oh, the BoBunny paper is buy one and get one free until May 6th!

AND everything is 20% off until May 6th!

The second one is how I feel after a couple of soup cups of coffee!

It's another quick and easy one.

Here is Harmony throwing our Tiny Daisy while she is saying what she wants.

The third one a little bit of masking. I masked the flower off and added our Love YOU. This saying also comes in a set of 5. I also added the same Tiny Daisy from the card before.

I added a couple of drops of Nuvo in the corners.

This saying is a custom made stamp that I had John make.

We make customs everyday and I had him sneak this one in for me. 😊

I used one of our stencils and the Clarity Brushes. 

I used a magnetic sheet under the paper with a MISTI magnet to hold the stencil in place.

I love these brushes because they unload the ink without much pressure

so you can gently lay down the ink without disturbing the stencil.

 This is the FREE stamp!

Thanks for looking!

Have a great day and enjoy the hop

Coffee Blog Hop

Hello Stampers,

This is a simple stamp and color card. I really like the Happiness Is...saying. I used it on a lot of cards for all different occasions. I also used Holly Swirls.

 A card that is not a holiday card, just a card to send to a friend who might need to read these words.

Thank you so much for looking

New Release!

Welcome Stamper to our New Release Hop!

We are all excited about the new stamps and wanted to share them with you. 
Again, some of our designers have created the images for the new stamps!

Here is my card with some of the new stamps.

 We have a set of Wishing you a... with all different kinds of sayings.

I like having them separate to place them where I want them...together or separate

or even inside the card.

I decided to lay the card out like this.

 I first stamped the saying.

 

And then added the 

Catherine Pooler ink around the edge.

 I stamped the wish bone and the pumpkin

on a separate piece, colored it and cut it out.

Thank you so much for taking a look,

Hugs, Vicky

Back to the beginning

Take a look at the NEW RELEASE!

Crackerbox Hop with Imagine Inks

Hello Stampers,

I am the lucky one to start everyone out on the hop we are having with the WONDERFUL company, Imagine!

I can't tell you how much I have LOVED their inks for many years, and still do :)!

I owned a store for 18 years and had every color of many of their lines of ink. I could go on and on about how much I love their inks. But let's get started.

This is one of my favorite colors (Pearlescent Sky Blue). It stays on my table all the time! I can't say enough about Brilliance ink. I wish you could see the shimmer. This is the only Pearlescent Pigment ink that stamps on paper, vellum, shrink plastic, and wood that I know of!

It's everything you want in an ink.

I used Clarity Brushes with Tulip Red Versafine ink and brushed it in one direction. This is the first time I have used the Versafine CLAIR, and I like it as much as their other inks. It's the perfect red for Christmas.

Then, I stamped the Knit Sweater And Mittens Set of 2, and the Ball Of Yarn with Versafine ink. 

This is the cleanest container I could find. I LOVE this 

ink for ALL of my words and fine-lined images, and I use it with anything I want to emboss.

I used the Pearlescent Sky Blue and wiped it around the edges to make the card I mounted the saying and card on. Can you see the shimmer?

On white card stock, I stamped Wishing You and Warm Winter, as well as other stamps that go with it.

The saying is 2 stamps.

My second card:

I used Imagine Inks, Tim Holtz Mini stencil set #22 and Clairty Brushes. 

I just dabbed and swiped the different inks all over the stencil.

The stencil is on the left for you to see. 

The colors I used: Acorn, Tulip Red, Sunflower Yellow, Thyme and Copper.

I have my initials on the inks because these are the ones I take with me if I stamp away from home.

OH, they might looks small but they are MIGHTY! 

I have had these little buggers for years and they are still inky.

The VersaFine CLAIR blended so easily and the colors are so rich!

I used Gold and went in from all of the edges and across the card to 

give it the most beautiful shimmer.

I did the same on this card as I did on the last card to make the color match. 

I swiped the ink pad around the edge of the card I used for the saying and the card that I mounted my image on.

Finally, done!

The saying is the stamp that we have on sale this month for $2.89.
You can find it HERE

If you want some of these great inks you can find them at Imaginecrafts.com.

Thanks for hopping with us and I hope you have fun and get some inspiration!

Happy Stamping and Hugs, Vicky

I had so much fun with the snarky stamps, it was hard to stop!

So, I have a few to share with you.

My first card

I cut a circle and I am using it for a mask

This is the stencil I used that we sell on our web site. 

 

I used Memento Inks and Clairty Stencil Brush. 

I LOVE the brushes! They make it so easy to use the 

stencils because they unload the ink so easily.

This guy is new in our collection, he is called Big Ed.

The Oh Snap is also a new release.

Here is card #2! Again I used a stencil because

they are quick and easy with the brushes

Isn't Big Ed (Big Head, LOL) great?!? I had to use him again!

And another new release saying!

I didn't stop there! 

The rest of these are ATC size, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2.

Just the right size to slip in someone's pocket or leave

on their desk or even their car!

On these cards I used the Catherine Pooler inks, which are

wonderful for sayings and images. 

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Lime Rickey & Grass Skirt

It's a Girl & Party Dress

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Orange Twist and Aquatini

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Flirty Fuchsia and

used Clairty Brush around the edges.

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Black and 

Icing On The Cake (on the edges of the tree)

and Over Coffee (center of the tree)

National Coffee Day Blog Hop With Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps

Hello Coffee Loving Stampers,

 I started with white card stock and swiped Sand Castle ink over it with a Clairty Stencil Brush.

 
Then I pounced on Over Coffee for more texture.

I used a Tim Holtz stencil set 3 for a splash of coffee.

I used the same colors for the saying and card stock I mounted the card on as I used on the coffee cup.

I hand cut around the saying and outlined the words with the lightest blue-B21. Then outlined the mounting card stock with the medium and darkest blue.

To match the colors I used the same markers I used around the saying.

AND the Fall and Thanksgiving stamps will be 15% OFF all month.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs, Vicky
