2024: Coffee Date with Shelly & Coffee Loving Papercrafters [cards #146-147]

Hellooooooooooo, sweet friends!  

It's been a loooooong time- I know! Let me catch you up: 

1. I continue to injure myself- no surprise there! I recently stepped on a hammer (soft tissue damage), fell down 4 or 5 stairs (because of Finn), and now the back of my right knee hurts (I think I tore something, but I'm hoping not!).
2. I celebrated the one year anniversary of my wrist surgery- Praise the Lord🙌🏻 I'm so thankful that I have 95% usage of my wrist movement!!! I won't lie - my wrist STILL hurts, but it's so much better today than it was over a year ago!
3. Oh-- and we moved📦 I found out that we were officially moving 2 weeks before it happened- long story about going back and forth on the house with the previous owners. It was approved; it happened quickly; and I've been currently living out of boxes in my studio! I'm surprised I was able to make something for today's posts since I can't find any of my tools, inks, papers, etc! LOL!

Ok- now that we are caught up... let's get to the good stuff! 

I'm joining in the fun as a Guest Designer with the Coffee Loving Papercrafts blog. My sweet friend, Shelly, asked me on a coffee date, and I couldn't refuse:) 

#SAVfact: I have 11 food sensitivities including tea and coffee. I don't drink tea or coffee at all. However, I do love the coffee trend images (mugs, cups, fun sayings, etc) and couldn't pass up on this fun opportunity! 

Here's a sneak peek of what I've created--- be sure to stop by HERE for more details and the full reveal! **NOTE: Shelly and I decided to do a Throwback for this Coffee Date and use some of the retired Paper Smooches images for our creations. Again--- I couldn't pass up this fun opportunity to use my favorite PS goodies! 

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by the Coffee Loving Papercrafts blog and my IG page for more details!!!

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌   

Be blessed ❤️

ps... I couldn't help myself and made ANOTHER card using a NEW Paper Smooches free digital image!!! This little panda in a mug is just too adorable. I did a bit of shading/coloring, fussy cutting, paper piecing, and stamping/embossing. I love the colors and the way this card turned out!!!! SO fun! 

****NOTE: If you would like to grab this FREE Paper Smooches image, please send a message to Kim (owner of Paper Smooches) on IG [HERE]!! It's that easy! 

2024: Catching Up (part 4)

Hello again, sweet friends! 

My new series is helping me clear my "upload" folder! I am posting all of my projects that I haven't had time to post in the last three years NOW!!! 

Here's another batch of unshared creations <3 This batch includes creations I made using NEW project that I've had for YEARS and never opened or used. It was time to start using stuff from my stash!!! I also created several of these cards for customers. I don't know what stamps/dies/etc. I used for most of these cards...I kind of like not writing down any info for a card and just creating! It's freeing:) 

That's it for me today. I've got so many more projects to share next week! Come back for part 5 of my "Catching Up" series:) 

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

2024: Love You Leopard + Technique Idea [card #1]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back with ANOTHER Pink & Main project! This time instead of coloring I share a quick technique idea to help elevate your die cut sentiments (or any die really). 

I created this very CAS card (definitely NOT my style... so it's no wonder I wanted to "elevate" it! LOL!). I created it in a few steps-- stencil the background, add a heart die cut with gold accents, and add die cut sentiment. Done! 

But was it really done? Not for me. I wanted to add something extra behind the sentiment but this die cut set didn't come with an outline die to match. NO WORRIES! Here's how I created that outline image for the sentiment die cut: 

• Flip the die so the word is "readable"
• Trace around that die onto paper or vellum
• cut it out, erase traced lines, and attach your die cut sentiment

See? It's that easy!! Adding outline images to die cut sentiments when none are available can be done with literally ALL of your dies!!! 

I hope that this inspires you to try this technique on your next project!! Please remember to share what you create so I can leave you some love ❤️

That's it for me today. Happy crafting!

2024: Pink & Main Owl My Love [card #2] FULL REVEAL

Hello again, sweet friends! 

In case you missed the FULL reveal of my second project on the Pink & Main blog click HERE-- be sure to stop by and leave some love❤️

I'm continuing my new series, Savannah Learns to Color!!!! This is only my second image that I've colored--- and I know it's rudimentary! I'm trying and learning! 

It took me three tries to get the right coloring for this little owl. I had lots of ideas for him- like maybe a blue owl, or pink... but I went with this yellow-orange look. I think for my SECOND project that it turned out really good:) Not bad for a newbie!

That's it for me today. I'll be sharing even MORE colored images SOON!!!! Be on the lookout:)

2024: Catching Up (part 2)

Hello again, sweet friends! 

MORE catching up to do today! Check out these projects that I created recently. 

This card was for a friend who married in September last year. I used his wedding invite as the base and then matched the papers. You can't see it but her dress is sparkly! LOVE!

This was my 17th anniversary card for Trav. Unfortunately we left on a fun getaway and I forgot to put it in my bag so he hasn't received it yet! It's been two months! I better put this under his pillow tonight:) 

I hate to say this but the thank you card below was NOT easy to make! But worth it:) I like how it turned out:) 

I made all 5 of these cards in one day! I tried so many new techniques and color combos-- it was fun! 

A CAS "little" Hello card using scraps. 

Erin Lee Creative asked me to share a few projects for one of their releases. Here is what I made (I went a bit overboard! LOL!): 

That's it for me today, but I will be sharing MORE! I promise;)
