Hello Love

Hi TRHD Fans! Amy here and I'm so thrilled to share today's card with you featuring the Marquee Letters stamp set from the September 2020 Release at The Rabbit Hole Designs.








These Marquee Words are just so stinkin' cool! I have never seen anything like them so naturally I had to get right to work creating with them!








On this card I started by stamping, coloring, and die cutting out the hilarious Caffeinated Cat also from TRHD. I feel like this is me most mornings, holding on dearly to my beloved cup of coffee, lol. I used my Copic alcohol markers to color her in.  I also used the coordinating die to cut the cat out as well as cut out some fun foam to back the colored image with. This will support the die cut better in transit through the post office and will also prevent me from having to cut a million little pieces of foam tape to back it with. Win Win!



For the panel itself I used an A2 size piece of card stock and stamped "Hello" and "Love" from the Marquee stamp set directly on the panel in some coordinating ink colors. I also wanted to add some additional interest, so I used the caffeine symbol in a light grey and stamped that all over in the background. 

I added a shadow below the cat with some colored pencil and die cut the panel to give it the stitched edging. All that was left was to assemble the pieces. I attached the die cut panel to an A2 sized card base and added a little bling, and that finishes my card today. 

 I hope that you enjoyed this card and found some inspiration. Be sure to check out all the items from the new release as well as all the other fabulous products that The Rabbit Hole Designs carries. You can follow this link HERE to see their whole product line.

Caffeine MEOW! I'm Seeing Stars!


Hello my crafty friends and welcome to the The Rabbit Hole Design Blog today!   This is Jenn Gross and  I am sharing this colorful card  "Caffeine MEOW! I am Seeing Stars!"  It features the Ribbon Star Stencil and the Caffeinated Cat stamp set.  We best hurry up and get this cool cat his morning cuppa Joe!



I absolutely love how Ribbon Star stencil turned out!  I sent the stencil on top of a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 piece of white cardstock. I used Karin Brushmarkers to create this look. I colored some of the ink from the Brushmarkers onto a sheet of acetate. Using the watercolor brush, I kept it in a little bit of water and picked up some of the Brushmarkers color off of the acetate. Using a loose daubing motion with a brush I added spots of color to the stencil openings. I use the colors of a rainbow, starting with reds and ending with purples, daubing Watercolor pigment and overlapping other colors. When I left it up the stencil, you could see a loose image of the ribbons and stars. 


I colored the caffeinated cat to look like a Siamese cat. We had Siamese cats as I was growing up the two were called Puss and Boots.  I used Karin Brushmarkers to color they cannot and give him his furry look. I love dotting around the eyes with 2 to 3 colors to give his eyes a bit of depth. He wants his Coffee right MEOW!

Here are The Rabbit Hole Design products used in this card:




I hope you enjoyed this fun whimsical card and it sparks a bit of inspirations. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!  Please feel free to leave me a comment. I love hearing from you, It's very inspiring to me. Happy crafting!

Spookiest Mom

Hey Friends!  Katie here today with a card that completely cracks me up.  Hopefully... you feel the same.   I was feeling a little quirky and fiesty when I made it.  



Well, what do you think?  Funny or dumb?  I just couldn't resist putting the pumpkin head on the cat.  And scariest costume, that refers to mom being the scariest, costume or not. 

Here is how I made it: 

  • I started by stamping my cat from the Caffeinated Cat set and coloring it with my Copics.  I pulled in the purple for that touch of Halloween. 
  • Next, I stamped the pumpkin from Gourd-geous and colored it as well.  I cut them both out with my scissors. 
  • I set them aside and set up my card layout, starting with the background paper mounted on white. 
  • I decided to use the same paper for the cup in Mom's hand.
  • I die cut this frame in black and white and left the white in the between pieces. 
  • On the inside of the frame, I stamped the sentiment #momlife and mounted my image.  The head is mounted using an action wobble. 
  • I added these sparkly stars and then the sentiment, which was part of the DP pack. 
Reminder, videos aren't my thing, but I wanted to show you the head in motion. 


I love the halloween colors and the fun feel of this card.  Again, I hope you can appreciate my sense of humor with this post.  If not, well, that's OK too, I am not for everyone. ;)


Here are the stamp sets I used:

(de)Caffeinated Cat!



Hello everyone!  Shanna here again with a Caffeinated Cat card, or as I like to call him (de)Caffeinated Cat!  LOL..  He sure looks like someone slipped him the decaf on accident!

It's no secret how big a fan I am of the Caffeinated Critters line...THEY ALL ROCK!  You can check out the line up here if you want to peek at all the different ones.

This cat just cracks me up....I colored him like an orange Tabby cat in my neighborhood. I used Zig markers on Canson cold press watercolor paper and die cut the rectangle out.  


Check out that sentiment!!  Seen it before somewhere??  NOPE!!  It just *might*, maybe, kinda sorta be a sneak of something BIG coming to YOU soon...Be sure to keep checking back for the new release NEXT WEEK!!  You reallllly won't be disappointed!  

Well, that's all today....Thank you so much for stopping by!  A little kitty cat might have told me there is another sneak over on my blog here.  Come by and see!!  See you all again soon

Happy Birthday To Me!


Good morning Rabbit Hole fans, I hope you're having a good week!
It just so happens that today is my 50th birthday so I thought it only
appropriate to make a birthday card.
I thought it would be fun to incorporate a bunch of the caffeinated
critters on my card.  Putting party hats on their heads just made 
me laugh since they don't look like they are in a party mood.
It's been a rough week for me so it's kind of appropriate that these 
guys aren't smiling.
All in all though I really like how the card came out, the rainbow
letters really stand out against the black and white background.
Here is a list of all the caffeinated critters used on my card:


Thanks for joining me today for my birthday, I hope you enjoyed
my card, these caffeinated critters really can be used for any 
type of card you want to make..... just change up your sentiment.

Have a great day, I already am!

#MomLife- with Katie

Happy Day 5 of the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Hop!  I am not sure if you noticed, but so many of The Rabbit Hole Designs stamps are just perfect for this hop!!!  For example: 


Cracks me up!  I was at a crafty garage sale this last weekend and found this sheet of Echo Park stickers and my first thought was of this funny cat.  It was meant to be!  



Here is how I made this fun card:
  • To start I stamped my Caffeinated Cat image on Copic friendly paper and used my Copics to color it.  
  • Next, I stamped again on a couple of different designer papers to make the robe and the cup.  For the robe, I added gel pen to the parts of the robe for the white and darkened with a Copic around the shadows.  I stamped and colored the mouse and put him back in the pocket.  Again, the Cup was a different DP.  (I read it like, "OK! OK!"- LOL). I colored the coffee bit brown and edded glossy accents over it.  
  • After my grumpy cat was done, I went to work on the background.  The Paper is from Recollections and die cut with a Wonky Stitches die from my stash.  
  • Next, I added the stickers to the scene and popped up the cat in front.  
  • I had these tiny little butterflies, I thought they would add a little pop, so I colored them to match the robe and added them.  
  • Lastly, I mounted it all on my white card base. 



I hope you enjoy this card.  I sure enjoyed making it!  For a complete list of supplies, you are welcome for visit me on my blog

Caffeinated Critters Watercolor Background




Hey, everyone! It's Lynnea Hollendonner and I'm so excited about today's card! I've had it in my head for a while and I'm glad to finally get it out on paper! I love that there are now 7 different critters in the caffeinated line and I just had to use a bunch of them together! The #momlife sentiment from the Caffeinated Cat stamp set was the inspiration behind this card! I can just see this group of mom commiserating together about their daily struggles! Haha!  









How - To

  • Stamp Caffeinated Flamingo, Crab, Bee, Cat, Dino, and Octopus onto a piece of watercolor cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat emboss with clear powder. 
  • Color with watercolor markers. 
  • Add a flat wash of a light gray watercolor to the background. 
  • Die cut panel with a stitched rectangle die. 
  • Stamp and white heat emboss #momlife sentiment from the Caffeinated Cat stamp set three times and trim down into strips. Adhere strips with foam tape. 
  • Add clear sparkle to the black sentiment strips and black Nuvo Crystal Drops above and below sentiment strips.

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.




Thanks so much for joining me today on the Rabbit Hole Blog!
I really enjoyed sharing my card and video with you.

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 Cat with Maria



Good morning my crafty peeps!  Maria here on the blog with you today.  I am so excited to share with you my very first post as a design team member of the The Rabbit Hole Designs.  They have recently launched a couple of stamp sets and I ordered a few of them because I fell in love with the design.  

For my project today, I am showcasing the Caffeinated Cat 3x4 stamp set.   When I saw this stamp, I knew I just had to have it.  Honestly, what is not to love?  I adore cats, I love coffee and I love being a mom!  Okay to be honest I used to feel like this cat when my kids were little, haha! and I had a full-time job too!  I don't even know how I survived those days; I guess I had lots and lots of coffee!
Here's how I made the card:
  • Stamp the image on Neenah solar white card stock (or any card stock you have in  stock) with alcohol friendly ink.
  • Color the image with alcohol markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
  • Either fussy-cut or die-cut the image using an electronic die-cutting machine. For mine, I used my Scan N Cut 2.
  • Die-cut a piece of Neenah solar white card stock using the wood/floors dies and ink it up with gathered twigs distress oxide ink to make it look like wooden panels.
  • Cut another piece of white card stock and use embossing folder to create the "wallpaper".
  • Adhere the floor, the moulding and the "wallpaper" on an A2 size card base.  Cut the excess.
  • Die-cut the little decorative frame and little bows on some colored card stock and stamp the sentiment and image on both. Adhere the frames with liquid glue.
  • Adhere the Caffeinated Cat image (ahem, star of the show!) in the middle of the card with foam adhesive to give it dimension.
  • Add the heart embellishment on the coffee cup.
  • Add Sparkling clear jewels and bow on the decorative frame to finish the design.

Everything about this cat just makes me giggle!   The tired look on her face, the bunny slippers and the robe!   I think we can all relate.  Here's a closer look:

That cat wallpaper just added more cuteness to the whole design, don't you agree?  The mom cat looked tired but her house is spotless!

What do you think of my card?  Does it make you want to have a cup of coffee?   You guys really need to grab this stamp set while you can.
