Hello

Hello + Happy Monday!  It's Amy here with you today and I have four cards to share!  I concentrated on using the Doodlebug Design Cream & Sugar collection:

It's no secret that I love my caffeine and this particular collection makes me super happy.  How can you resist those smiley faces?!

So what helps you design quick cards?  I'm a big fan of collections which I always think helps me put together projects much quicker.  

My first two cards feature the Doodlebug Cream & Sugar 6x6 paper pad, cardstock stickers + odds and ends die cuts.

These next two cards use the same supplies plus the Donuts Mini Doodle-Pops + Flora & Fauna Texture stamp set:

So what are your designing tips?

Something that always inspires me are challenges.  Make sure you check out our latest one:

Sales definitely help the mojo:

I hope you have a GREAT week!

Coffee Lovers and THD Challenge

Hey Katie here. When you think of the things you love, what comes to mind?  Probably so many things.  One thing that comes to mind for me on a sunny summer day, is some nice ice cold coffee combined with the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  And that is just what I have for you today, a fun combo of just those things. 

Now I want to get you warmed up, so I am reminding you of what the June THD Challenge is all about. 

Now add that with some THD products and some Coffee Fun and here is what you get!

Squee, aren't they soooooo cute?!  I love the little pups trying to get a nice refreshing drink of their favorite beverage.  The only thing better would be for me to shove them over and have the drink myself! ;)

OK, here's the dealio.  I started by stamping out these sweet pups from one of the Hero Arts Lia Griffith sets.  I colored them using my Copics and cut them out using my Scan n' Cut.  Next I picked out this cute Penny Black Love Cup using so fun descriptive DP that is perfect!  I mounted that on the Sugar Pea Stitched Circle Die and in turn mounted that on this DP from American Crafts Sunny Paper Pad.  The sentiment is from ALtenew and the enamel dots are from the Doodlebugs Holly Berries Epoxy Stickers as they were the perfect share of red. 

OK, thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed this post, will join the THD Challenge and the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

The Sky's The Limit

Hello Friends!  Katie here with a fun card for you today and it starts with the fun Lawn Fawn Wild for You stamp set.  

I used the set and colored that sweet giraffe with my Copics.  I set him up with the Lawn Fawn Magic Color Slider Die. The clouds and sentiment are from the Lawn Fawn Blue Skies stamp set, I added a little colors to the clouds to make them pop.  Under the sweet guy is Doodlebug Green Grass Washi Tape which perfectly sets the stage.  Guess what happens when you slide this tab up?!

Isn't he just the cutest!  He absolutely needed this long neck to go with the sentiment.  To make the neck I simply used a ruler and and a Copic fine point pen.  I masked along the edges and took the snow drop from the Lawn Fawn Christmas Snow Globe set to make those perfect circles.  Once colored I added some leaves and fronds from MFT, I added a little extra color to them for depth.  

I hope you enjoyed this card and will join us for this month's challenge!

Par-te!
