Caffeinated Valentine Tags

Happy Valentine's Day!
Michelle here, I created some caffeinated gift tags for mini Valentine's Day gifts. The whole 
Caffeinated line is perfect for gift tags!
 Having the coordinating dies makes it a lot easier! I used Caffeinated Owl Stamp and Die, and
 I stamped the owl and flamingo, than die cut the images. I colored the caffeine cuties
with Copic Markers. I die cut each image twice per tag. One colored, one blank. 
After I colored the front of the tag I adhered the black die to the back.
 I stamped the back of the tags with sentiments from the set, Perfectly Blended.
I filled each treat bag with some Starbucks Via packets and Hershey Kisses...perfect combo!


Hope you give this a try!
Hope you enjoy today!

Caffeine Saves Lives!




Hello crafty friends!  I am so glad you popped by today to see my newest creation for The Rabbit Hole Designs - Design Team blog.  I am smitten with the new Twisted Sunshine Stencil!  I have glitter glazed it,  foiled it and in this card -  I am blending with Distress Oxide inks. 

Here is the amazing Twisted Sunshine Stencil
6" x 6" stencil


Don't you just love the attitude of the Caffeinated Flamingo?
It is a 3' x 4" clear stamp set


And for those not so into fussy cutting, there is the Caffeinated Flamingo matching die!



Perfectly Blended is additional sassy coffee and tea sentiments you can add to any coffee related card you make!
This is a 4" x 6" clear stamp set


The background stencil is so simple to recreate.  Here are the steps with photos to follow along:

A - I found the center of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock using a ruler from corner to corner.  I marked the X gently with a pencil so I can erase it later
B - I place the middle area of the stencil over the pencil mark X. 
C - I taped the side of the stencil with Purple Tape and masked of the rest of the stencil with post it notes
D - Using a three blender brushes, I blended my three desired colors of distress oxide inks over the stencil
E - I removed the stencil to reveal the design.  You must let the ink dry before erasing the pencil mark  

See how cool this blended Twisted Sunshine stencil turned out?  I see so many possibilities!

I colored the the whimsy Caffeinated Flamingo using my Triblend alcohol markers and fussy cut him out. (I like fussy cutting, but you may not - great news it there is a Caffeinated Flamingo Die availbel too) It make me laugh to see him standing on one foot with his bumble bee slipper!


I assembled the card as shown in the first photo , I stamped the sentiment  "Caffeine saves lives , mostly yours" (from the Perfectly Blended stamp set) at the top of the card front.  I added a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" pieces of peach-ish cardstock for a mat and attached it to a white card base.  I used foam squares to attach the flamingo to the front of the card.  

I hope this inspires you to create your own background with stencils.  It save time looking though printed paper and you make it uniquely your own, especially since no background comes out the same.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!

Hello there!
I hope you are all getting excited for 
The Rabbit Hole Designs' First Birthday Bash!!!

But today we celebrate our very own, Heather Ferguson's birthday!!!
We wish you a very happy birthday, Heather!!!

Michelle here! I started off with my chosen stencil, Twisted Sunshine, and layered
some distress oxide inks beginning with the darkest shade: black soot, 
picked raspberry and worn lipstick. Than I added some splattered white and gold paint.
Set aside to dry.

Next, I stamped and colored this hilarious flamingo!!!
I used Copic Markers in shades RV13, RV14, RV25; R21, R22;  
W3, W5, W6, W7; BG10, BG11, BG15; Y19.
For the sentiments, I used the stamp set Perfectly Blended! This stamp
set is full of fun caffeine puns!!! I embossed the sentiments with
gold embossing powder.

I adhered the flamingo, sentiments and gold thread with some foam tape.
I scattered some sequins and added some clear stickles glitter glue.

I hope you enjoyed this post!!!

Depresso Flamingo

Hey everybody! It's Amanda W. taking over today with a bold and bright caffeinated flamingo card. I have been playing with distress ink backgrounds lately and when this one was finished I knew I wanted to try a flamingo with it.


Here are the details:
  • Blended distress inks and spritzed the panel with water. Then adhered it to a card front.
  • Trimmed down a black panel to 4x5.25 and die cut a border out. Then popped this up with foam tape for dimension.
  • Stamped, colored and die cut my flamingo. Then I glued him directly to the black panel.
  • I chose a sentiment from the Perfectly Blended set, stamped it on a red-ish cardstock that matched my background and popped the strip up with foam tape.
  • For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the mug and gems scattered throughout. I love a little bling!


I love that black cardstock against the bright background. And the flamingo is just soft enough to pop from both of those elements and not get lost. This is such a fun card and was pretty quick to put together. I feel like a set of these with different sentiments would be a fun gift for someone. Or a great thing to have on hand for when you need to send a card on short notice.

Thanks for hanging with me today! Below are the products I used.

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!

Today I am featuring the Caffeinated Flamingo stamp set  (TRHD / KS), one of my favorites images for this fabulous collection.


Let me share with you how to make this sample of card:

1. Cut the card base using whisper white cardstock. The size of my card is 4-1/4" x 11" with score in 5-1/2".
2. Cut the Tossed Floral Background using another piece of whisper white card stock.
3. Paste the background die cut over the card base using double sided foam tape to give more dimension to your project.
4. In a separate piece of paper stamp the Caffeinated Flamingo  (TRHD / KS) and one of the sentiments included on the same stamp set  (TRHD / KS) using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
5. Color your image  (TRHD / KS). I colored mine with Alcohol Markers.
6. Fussy cut your image  (TRHD / KS) with scissors.
7. Paste your image  (TRHD / KS) over the decorated card base using double sided foam tape.

Adding Motion to the Caffeinated Flamingo

Hello crafty friend! It's Amanda again and today I've got a quick and easy way to add some movement to your cards with a simple lever. This is one of those techniques that is much easier to watch than explain, so I've put together a video for you here...

In the video, you saw me stamp out the Caffeinated Flamingo and use her for my focal point. I also used the back of the Caffeinated Crab for the island on my ink blended background. I chose Copic markers to color the flamingo, as well as the tropical die cut pieces used to build the scene; I like the vibrant colors and blendability I get with them. To help the sentiment stand out, I embossed it on a black strip with white powder.

My card front was cut out with a stitched rectangle die and I added a thumb notch to it, as well as the A2 card base, with a stitched circle die. I cut the pull tab and sentiment strip with stitched dies to carry the theme through on all of my pieces. I used a clear piece of acetate to make the second part of the lever so it would blend into the background as much as possible. My ScanNCut is my favorite tool for fussy cutting, but before I could cut out the flamingo and arm, I needed to make sure I prepped my images by adding lines with a Copic Liner (0.3) and whiting out unwanted areas with a paint pen.

To attach the lever pieces together, I used mini brads. You can make thin fasteners from paper, but brads are fast and easier. In order to accommodate the thickness of the brads, I popped my card front and flamingo body up with foam tape. To finish the card, I added some shimmer and shine with several glitter products, and a clear glaze on her eye.

So what do you think of her? Do you have any stamps you can add motion to? Is the Caffeinated Flamingo in your stash yet?! I'd love to know how you add interactive elements to your cards. Be sure to tell me in the comments below...And until next time my friend, stay crafty!

Caffeinated Flamingo by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty and caffeinated friends! Today I have the new Caffeinated Flamingo stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I am crazy with these caffeinated images because they are beautiful and cute at the same time and perfect to inspire the imagination.



To create this card I used whisper white card stock and distress ink to create the colorful background. This time I just sponging the different colors with a sponge dauber to have a soft texture. I used Catherine Pooler Inks on these colors: SkylightIt’s a GirlSeafoam and Limoncello.

From a whisper white layer I die cut the Outline Floral Frame Die  and pasted it directly over the inked card base. Then, using the negative part created with the die, I stamped the Caffeinated Flamingo with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Alcohol Markers. I fussy the cut the Caffeinated Flamingo with my scissors and pasted it with double sided foam tape over the inked background.




To finalize the card I stamped the #flockstar sentiment, included on the same stamp set and cut it with one of the stitched strips sentiments die. I pasted the sentiment directly over the card base and added some little white snowflakes included on the Falling Snow Sprinkles.
The Rabbit Hole Designs has a very complete collection of Caffeinated Stamp sets. I can’t tell you which is my favorite because of course I wanted all!!! You can see all the stamps here but first grab your coffee cup because it is an addiction!

Caffeine Makes me Sparkle

Good morning Rabbit Hole Fans and welcome back to the blog!
I hope you've enjoyed seeing all of the fabulous
projects the design team has been sharing over the 
past few days using the new release stamps!
Stay tuned because there's lots more fun coming your way
in the coming months!

It's Lisa here today and for my first guest designer post
for this month I want to share a fun and flirty Flamingo
card using the brand new Caffeinated Flamingo stamp set!


One of my favorite types of card to make is a shaker card.
The best part is picking out all of the shaker guts to 
match the theme of the card.
I thought the pink and green color palette would look great
with the Caffeinated Flamingo stamp so I picked out
Cracked Pistachio and Raspberry Distress Inks to get started.

The first step was to blend the two colors onto some smooth card stock,
pink at the top and green on the bottom.
I sprinkled some water droplets on the panel and dried them for
a more interesting look. 
Since I wanted the background to sparkle 
I heat embossed some stars in silver over the pink to 
really shine.


The next step was to use some rectangle zig zag dies to cut out a frame.
I used the inside of the frame for the base of the card and I made 
a shaker window out of the leftover frame.
I chose some pink, green and silver shaker bits for the guts and
glued my frame down over the mix.
For my sentiment I used the stamp
"Caffeine makes me sparkle" from the
Caffeinated Unicorn stamp set.
I stamped it onto a banner die cut with
Picked Raspberry ink and added some fun silver stars.

I watercolored my tired Flamingo with my Zig markers and 
made sure to add some of those silver stars to her 
 and her coffee cup!



I just love how this card came out and the bright
colors just make me happy, not to mention
the fun sound it makes when you shake it!

Thanks so much for joining me today on 
The Rabbit Hole blog! Make sure you check out all of the 
new release stamps in the shop that are available now!

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.
