February Guest Designer - Lisa Golzbein


Hello and welcome back to The Rabbit Hole Designs blog!
My name is Lisa from Oh So Cute by Lisa and I am
honored to be guest designing for the month of February!

Ok, so if you have your morning cup of java or cocoa or whiskey
or (whatever gets you moving in the morning)... we'll get started!

The new stamps here at The Rabbit Hole are so much fun to create with!
For today's card I am featuring the Caffeinated Cat stamp.
I am LOVING that CRAZY hair and those adorable bunny slippers!


Shaker cards are one of my favorite types of card to make.
Here is the "How To" for my coffee loving feline card:

Card Recipe

  • My first step was to stamp the cat in Gina K Amalgam ink and color her with my Zig and Copic markers.
  • Next I cut out the stamped image with my Scan and Cut machine.  I love my machine but you could easily fussy cut this image out with scissors.
  • The next thing I did was to stamp the caffeine molecule and #momlife stamp randomly on to some polka dot patterned paper for the background. The patterned paper was cut just slightly smaller than the front of the A2 sized card base.
  • For the top of the shaker I used a scalloped collage frame die and I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of it. I built the frame up with foam tape so my shaker guts would have room to move around.
  • Now for the fun part! I chose a variety of coffee colored sequins to fill my card with and I made sure to add a splash of teal to match the coffee cup. I placed the sequin mix down on the patterned paper in the spots where I knew the windows were in the collage frame and then I adhered the frame over the sequins.
  • All that was left was to add my sentiment and cat to the front of the card.  I stamped the sentiment on to some brown card stock in white and embossed with white powder.  I cut the sentiment into 3 separate strips and popped them up on foam tape. Oh yeah...... kitty got popped up too!😂

Here are some close up pictures to see the details better:


I also have a video for you so you can see how I created
this Caffeinated Cat shaker card.
Please excuse the extreme closeup view in the video,
I have a new camera and I'm still figuring things out.
You can watch the video here or on YouTube.

The Rabbit Hole Designs ~ Happy Valentines Day ~ *Giveaway Alert!




MaryAnn, from PaperDreamz here to share a really easy to make card with you that features the newest images from
The Rabbit Hole Designs set Love You More

Many know I can color faces and such but I labor for hours because I am not very good at it, so when the chance happens by that I can create a project that requires little to no coloring and the images still convey the message, I am on it! This is a card technique that comes together so fast and easy that before you know it you have created many.

Card Recipe
  • I created an embossed background on a piece Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb cardstock cut down to 4 1/8th x 5 3/8 using stacking/infinity heart dies and set aside.
  • I then stamped the couple with a Copic friendly ink and used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around the couple, but you can also fussy cut this very easily as the image is pretty straight forward
  • Again I am no pro at Copic coloring of people so I quickly grabbed R27 and gave the stamped image a quick pass with some color. 
  • I thought the couple needed something so I Copic Black 100 and went all around the edge as seen in the picture below. I applied 3D mounting tape to the back of the couple and set aside to start assembly.
  • My card base is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Solar White cut to A2 size. I used a piece of black cardstock from my stash cut down to A2 size and affixed it to the top of the card base using Tombow multi mono glue. I then used the same glue to affix the heart embossed panel dead center (well for me sort of crooked dead center). Next up was the previously colored, cut and foam taped kissing couple, to the center of the hearts. To finish off this card some black enamel dots on the front, give the card a nice pop of sparkle and shine.

Stamped Text Backgrounds with Caffeinated Cat and Caffeinated Octopus




Hey, everyone! It's Lynnea from Sparkliie Creations and I have two clean and simple cards to share with you today! I love to create my own backgrounds with stamped images, but these sentiments from the Caffeinated Cat and Caffeinated Octopus are just screaming to be showcased! I created a video showing how I stamped these backgrounds, so make sure you scroll to the bottom of this post to watch!





How - to

  • Use a medium gray ink to stamp sentiments across the background of the card making sure the sentiments are wide enough to peek out from behind the coordinating images. 
  • Stamp images onto cardstock, color with your favorite coloring medium, and cut out. 
  • Pop up images with foam tape. 
  • Embellish with drops or sequins.

Caffeinated Octopus by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends! Martha Lucia here, excited for been in this new team and so happy to share with you one of the Caffeinated stamp sets: Octopus!


This octopus is a cute image that can represent us in many ways like addicted to coffee and overwhelmed!

Let me share with you the process that I used to make this card. I started with a piece of Crumb Cake card stock and I randomly stamped the Octopus image over this layer using VersaMark Dazzle Ink. I love this ink because produce the tone-tone effect and also have a little of shimmer. I let the piece of card stock dry for a while because it is a pigment ink.

Then in a separate piece of very vanilla card stock I stamped again the Octopus but this time using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image with color pencils and using a partial die cutting technique, I cut the colored image with one of the dies included on the die cut set  Anastasia Tag Die by WPlus9.


To make more special this piece, I added at the lower part one strip of washi tape that I cut at the same time with the die tag and then stamped one of the sentiments included on the stamp set.

I pasted the tag temporary over the initial stamped layer card and past both pieces through my die cut machine with a Stitched Rectangle Die Cut. I pasted the crumb cake layer directly over a Blueberry Bushel card base and added the finalized tag with double sided foam tape.

If you would like further details on my technique and supplies used please hop over my Stampartpapel Blog and have a peek.

So Jelly it's your Birthday with Katie

Hello!  Katie here and I am thrilled that this is my first post as part of The Rabbit Hole Designs!

I have a bright and colorful card today featuring the Sofishticated stamp set.


To make this card, I started with a piece of 4 X 5.25 watercolor paper.  I stamped the jellyfish imaged multiple times on the sheet using Versamark and then used white embossing powder and heat set them.  Next, I added a variety of Lindy's Magicals over the paper and then spritzed the paper with water.  I frequently dried the wet sheet with my heat gun and added more until I achieved the colors and look I wanted.  
Next, I added the black bubbles and sentiment to the card front.   the sentiment.  I mounted the card onto a sheet of white cardstock just 1/8 of an inch larger on the two sides.  This I mounted onto a black A2 sized card, to draw pull out the black of the bubbles and sentiment. 
Supplies Used: 

Sofishticated

Magical AF



Hello there, The Rabbit Hole Designs fans!  Maria here on the blog with you today.  I guess I am on a roll because I just finished this cute shaker card to share with you today by The Rabbit Hole Designs.  

For my project, I am showcasing the Caffeinated Unicorn 3x4 stamp set.




Here's how I made the card:
  • Stamp the image on smooth white card stock and color the image in with Copic markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
  • Die-cut the image with an electronic die-cutting machine or fussy cut with scissors.
  • Stamp the unicorn image again on patterned paper and fussy-cut the robe to paper-piece on the image.
  • On an A2 size of Bristol smooth white card stock, ink up the background using the mini ink blending tool and spun sugar distress oxide with the sunburst stencil by Tim Holtz.
  • Use a die o die-cut the frame and the window.
  • Cut an acetate sheet and run it through your die-cutting machine with a snow embossing folder. Adhere this acetate sheet on your frame.
  • Add foam adhesive to create the well.
  • Add confetti or sequins as the shaker element.
  • Adhere this piece on the colored background for a seamless look.
  • Die-cut the clouds twice using a clouds die.
  • Stamp the sentiment on the clouds with gray ink.
  • Adhere the Unicorn on the card.
  • Add stardust stickles on the unicorn's hair to finish the design.

This stamp set also makes me giggle because the unicorn's hair is so frizzy, it reminds me of my big frizzy hair during summertime in Florida.  I swear my hair gets so big, it's the size of Texas!  Thank God for flat irons and anti-frizz magical potions because without them, I would look like a cave woman!  Here's a closer look:


Fussy-cutting the patterned paper to paper-piece the robe made it look more realistic and added some nice touch to the overall card design.  Can you also just admire the glitter on the unicorn's hair?  She is so stylish and is indeed magical AF!  Haha!  Here's another look:

So-Fishticated Valentines Day card with MaryAnn


Good Morning

Today I am up on the blog and I want to share a fast and easy, easy to make card with you that features the newest images from
The Rabbit Hole Designs set So-Fishticated and Love you More

Card Recipe
  • Stamp fish with Versafine Clair ink in Paradise and Charming Pink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set. 
  • Fussy cut or use a Scan-n-Cut for the fish and use a C5 Copic marker around all the edges to add dimension.  Apply foam tape to back of fish and set aside
  • Versafine Clair in Morning Mist for the LOVE from Love You More with clear embossing powder applied and heat set.
  • Diecut from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb the heart in the center of an A2 sized panel, then I used another die to trim down the panel further.  Apply a piece of acetate to back of diecut panel using strong adhesive.  Add foam to over the acetate leaving plenty of room around the heart and to edges of diecut panel for stability.
  • I used a scrap piece of watercolored paper for the colored layer under the diecut panel and affixed to the center of the card base.  Sprinkle on some sequins in center and spread out just a bit.  Apply foam backed diecut panel and press firmly to attach.
  • Lastly apply the fish to the front of the panel.
  • Neenah Classic Crest Solar white in 110lb(card base), diecut panel, and the fish.
