You mocha me happy

Coffee, Dull Glossy Paper

Happy Wednesday! Love cards can be sent on any day, not just Valentine’s. This dry embossing folder is by Cuttlebug and I believe it has been discontinued but might still be found on Ebay.. or another heart folder would work too. For circles, I always stamp first and then cut! It is easier to line up the punch or cutting die than the stamp but do what works best for you. The coffee beans and cup were colored with alcohol ink markers. Some other options I want to try for this card is a brown swatch behind the white strip and the stitched hearts on top of the solid. Links are below!

alcohol ink, Dull Glossy Paper, Easter

Good afternoon! Sharing several bunny cards today. We are loving this heart embossing folder and will be adding some swatches to the website once back in the shop. Keep checking if interested! Let us know in the comments if we need to work faster on making it available 😉. The circle with words on it is 2” and I used a punch but a cutting die works too.

Aliens, Dull Glossy Paper, Valentine's Day

Good Morning. We have a few more Valentine cards we’ve been working on. We have been busy with orders so I haven’t taken the time to blog. Sometimes there is just too much to do!

Here is a really fun card with our heart joy stamp and a burlap bow. Definitely can’t fit it in an envelope though! 😝 Stamped on dull gloss white paper and used a circle cutting die to resemble an ornament. Images colored with copic markers.

Dull Glossy Paper, Holiday, Snowman, Winter

Good Morning! Here we used dull gloss paper to create snow piles. Very simple and easy! Just cut some curves in one side. Popped up the top layer with 3d dots to create depth. Check below for a photo gallery of previous cards with this snowman!
