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: Skylight, It’s a Girl, Seafoam 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!

Crabby Beach Shaker

Good morning  Rabbit Hole Designs fans and
welcome to the blog!
It's Lisa here with you today and I'm sharing my  
second guest designer project for March.
 I had a lot of fun creating a beachy card for you with some
actual Florida sand and one very tired crab!




For my card I used the newly released Caffeinated Crab stamp.
How cute is he with that coffee cup in one hand and a doughnut in the other!
Here are the steps to create this card:

  1. First I stamped my crab in black ink and colored him in with my Zig markers, then cut him out with my Scan n Cut machine and put him aside.
  2. For my background I took a piece of smooth card stock and blended 3 colors of Distress Oxide inks over a wavy patterned stencil. I then stamped my sentiment from the set in the top right corner and added some random caffeine molecules in light blue all over.
  3. Once the background was complete I took a large border die and one slightly smaller to cut out a panel and a frame at the same time. I adhered acetate to the frame portion and built it up the edges with foam tape.
  4. Next step was to skip work and spend the day at the beach🏖☀️⛵️⚓️Well how else was I going to collect sand for my shaker card???  
  5. Ok back to the card.....I poured authentic Jupiter, Florida beach sand and some beautiful blue and sparkly clear sequins on to base of card.  I also glued some sequins to the top of the base so they would stay in view when the shaker was shaking!😂                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                              
  6. Now cover base with shaker guts in place with prepared acetate backed frame.
  7. Last step was to send that tired crab to the beach for some much needed R & R! I added a sand castle for him to sleep in and a beach ball so he could play with his friends!                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                             
  8. Oh yeah one more thing....... shake card for all family members to see and hear until they're annoyed and tell you to go away.🤦🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♂️

I'm super happy with my little beachy card and I hope you'll
try out a shaker card with some fun elements too!
Tell your boss Lisa said it's ok to skip work and go to the beach!😉

ZomBEE with Katie

Happy Tuesday!  My week started out great and I hope yours did too!  

 Today I am sharing a card featuring the Caffeinated Bee set. 


I know, it is a little about of season, but I think it is perfect setting for this ZomBEE.  Here is another view. 



Here is what I did: 
  • I started by coloring my bee with Copics make him look like a Zombee.  I colored the wings and coffee using a gold gel pen.  I cut him out and set him aside to work on my background. 
  • I used various purple distress inks with my blending brushes to create the background.  you might see the subtle sunbeams from a stencil in the purple as well.  I did come in a with a little green and hexagon, but decided I didn't like it so immediately stopped.  I spritzed the background with water to make it splotchy.  I came in again with yellow distress ink and the sunbeam to set the spot for the bee. 
  • I die cut this spooky foreground scene and put it on the background and then die cut them both with a deckle edge die.  I did the same with a darker purple layer to put behind this layer.  
  • I stamped the bee on the background and then placed my colored bee on top using dimensionals.  I added little pearls for the antenna. 
  • I stamped the sentiment from the Caffeinated Dino set on the purple layer.
  • I placed my layers together over the black CS.  
Here is one more pic of the bee close up. 



I hope you like my card today.

Egg Hunt with Easter Bounty


Hey crafty friends, it's Amanda and today I've got a really fun card for you. Have you seen the new Easter Bounty stamp set yet? It's got a pair of adorable bunnies and a bunch of Easter eggs to use for building a scene. I thought it would be fun to build my scene in 3D on top of an Easter basket box card.

I started by stamping and embossing my bunnies and eggs. I knew the back of my images would be visible, so I didn't want to use Copic markers to color them, as they bleed through. I also wanted soft colors for spring. So I grabbed my water-based markers and a blender pen to color them in. Instead of coloring directly on the paper, I scribbled color onto an acrylic block and picked it up with my blender pen. This allowed me to watercolor the images and get a nice variation in color for highlights and shading.  Once my images were colored and dry, I cut them out with my ScanNCut.
 
I knew that I wanted to add a lot of flowers to the scene as well, so I pulled out some tiny dimensional paper flowers from my stash. They started out white, but I sprayed them with some diluted liquid watercolors to turn them pink and coral. Next I die cut the pieces for my box, the grass struts, some greenery to glue the flowers to, and the pieces for the banner. To decorate the front of the basket, I cut thin strips of pastel cardstock and weaved them in.

Before I assembled the box, I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Bounty set on the back panel. Then I glued the box pieces together, adding the handle and grass struts. I assembled my banner and wrote "egg hunt" on the pennants, then I glued it to the handle. I tucked the bunnies and eggs in place and adhered them with glue or foam tape, for extra dimension. Then I glued the flowers and greenery in place to fill up the scene, but not hide my stamped images. As a finishing touch, I popped an egg up with foam tape on the back, near my sentiment.

I love how this card turned out! From every angle you can see something new. Plus, it folds flat and fits into an A6 envelope; perfect for mailing. I don't usually mail out many Easter cards, but there are a few special people on my list that I try to let know I'm thinking of them. Who will you be sending cards to this spring? Anyone egg-stra special? Let me know in the comments below and thanks for hopping by!
