October New Release Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog! This is the last stop on the hop.

I want to thank you for taking a look at all of the designer's creations. They work hard to do the best they can to inspire you and spread creativity. I have to say I am very proud of our team with all of their fabulous work. I hope you enjoyed them too.

Here are my first 2 cards for the hop. I decided to do something a little different than Halloween. I think we will be able to use the witches all year round. Also, these sayings will go good with all of our lady images, including the witches. I think these will be fun and you will be able to use them for other occasions.

Even though I can use this saying with any of our ladies or a witch, I thought I would do a Halloween card since Halloween is my favorite holiday!

October 1st -  October 7th, all the stamps released today are 25%OFF. 
Also, you will have Free Shipping on orders above of $20.00 in USA or $30.00 International, without including the Shipping and Handling. Both of the releases will be on sale!  So grab your stamps!

Coffee Day Blog Hop

Hello Stampers,

I love coffee cards, don't you? There is something special sharing a cup of coffee with a friend.

Here is my first card. I made a birthday card that could go to any of my friends.

I cut out the border with a Spellbinder die.

I stamped the background with different coffee stamps.

Happy Birthday was stamped on a separate piece of card stock that matched the light tan. 

The sentiment was edged with the same color of Copic marker I used to color the coffee bean. 

Behind the die-cut out and used pop dots.

This card was fun. The saying and coffee cup is stamped on the card. 

Then masked the coffee cup so I could stencil the table cloth. The chocolate is stamped on a separate piece of card stock and colored it with Copic markers. 

I used Catherine Coffee color ink to stipple around the edges. I also used it on the band of the coffee cup.

The chocolate piece is popped out in the center to give them some dimension.

Here are the stamps I used on my cards.

Happy Birthday Big

Coffee Bean Set

Delicious

Coffee Word Swirl

Coffee Cup Short

Coffee Cup Tall

Coffee Cup Heart

Coffee Chocolate Saying

Candies

Safest Day

Hello Stampers,

I love this time of year when it starts to get a little cooler and it feels like things start slowing down.

I also love this time of year because Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! 

So we came out with NEW witchy stamps. I plan on using a lot of these all year long. 

Here is a new stamp, Witch Wendy and an older snarky one Safest Day.

I used Tim Holtz No. 23 Mini Stencil and a cut sponge with Memento Black ink.

I lightly sponged it with the stencil on and then sponged the entire card after I took the stencil off with the ink I had left in the sponge.

I spritz the stencil with water to clean it.

Then I laid a piece of card stock over the stencil.

It cleaned it real well and gave me another background card!

We also have all of the Halloween stamps on sale this month!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is my first card. After I stamped the words and images, I cut out a mask to put over the words and used my stipple brushes to fill in the background.

A witch doesn't always have to be dressed like a witch, LOL.

Stamps Used:

Flying High

Stay Off

Bats Flying By

Witch On Broom

And my last card was just as easy as my first. Colored with Copic and used a stencil with the Clarity Brushes.

New Release And 3 Cards

Hi Stampers,

I have a couple of cards because they are quick and easy to do.

For the first one, I cut out the background with a Spellbinder die and drew a line around the die

before it took it off. Pearls were added on the points. 

The next card is even easier. I stamped the wreath and then the vines in 2 different colors of green.

Added the birthday saying. 

There are so many ways to use this wreath; I can't wait to find more things to put on it!

I stamped the flowers in blue and added light blue lines, and cut them out.

This card was fun: stamp, stencil, and color!

Have a great day, Vicky Briggs

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
