Coffee Lover's Bloghop Fall/Winter 2020 Day Eight and The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

Oops, I thought yesterday was the last day of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop. But one more it is and this is for The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge as well.

 

I used many different dies so I will only mention the snowflake from The Stamps of Life. The stamps are Santa's Coming from Little Acres Creations, and the coloring is courtesy of Copics. 

Said all my thanks for the coffee bloghop yesterday due to my mix up on which was the last day. Hope you'll continue to view my coloring on Instagram.

Stamplorations Spring Blooms

Our sponsor is Sherry Russ Designs with Stamplorations. The prompt for Twisted Thursday is to use an image from our sponsor

 .

I used the digital set, Spring Blooms and Mugs, colored with Copics and colored pencils, edged with Distress inks, layered on to matching Copic air sprayed frame, and finished with some Nuvo Drop.

Coffee First

Our sponsor is Sherry Russ Designs with Stamplorations. The prompt for Twisted Thursday is Map or Sign.

I used the digital set, Spring Blooms and Mugs, for the individual mug, colored with Copics, and then popped. The other mug is a stamp, Framed Coffee Cup, stamped with a sentiment from Coffeeology. and highlighted with Distress Inks and some colored pencils. I used a map from my stash, added a strip of Kraft with stamped coffee beans, and finished with some Nuvo Drop.

Coffee Date with Lisa and Jean

I am so pleased to share the coffee date card I made with my dear friend Lisa Bzibziak for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers. We share the same love of collecting stamps and dies so it was hard to narrow down what we would select to use in common. We finally decided to go with one of our favorite stamp companies, Art Impression Stamps (I used Art Impressions Hot Java Mama), and a Stamps of Life Coffee Cup A2 Fold-it Card stand up card). Lisa is a great "date", and we had so much fun doing this for you!

I cut the card itself from Kraft and colored with Copic Markers, Prismacolor colored pencils, and a white gel pen. A wrap with some red heavy string finished up the card.
Please be sure to get over to Lisa's blog to see what she created for our "date"!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll join in on the hop!

You Are My Cup of Tea

New to me challenge, CASology, for week 364 is all about tea. I have a cup going at the moment, so I thought I'd play. Clean and simple is hard for me, so I must admit that I struggled, LOL!

 I used a Brutus Monroe set called Stamp Fanci (does not seem to be available any longer) that I colored with Copics and colored pencils.

Also shared with the Coffee Loving Papercrafters.

Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy reading comments!

Dinosaur Stacker

#50, over at the Double Trouble Challenge Blog, asks us to do a tall and skinny card. A stacker would be a nice touch, and an optional layout from Try Stampin' On Tuesday would make it extra fun. I selected to do all three:

I adore anything from Paper Smooches, so I decided to stack up some whimsical dinosaurs from the Cuteasaurus set. I colored using Copics and colored pencils and added the "sketch" as a highlight with a mask and Distress Inks. The sweet little hearts, from the same set (and the sentiment), were dotted with white gel pen for some added texture, and I created some grass with markers and pencils.

Also shared with the Paper Smooches challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add that I was one of the top three on Try Stampin on Tuesdays and on Double Trouble:

Say Cheese and Smile

Challenge #48 on the Double Trouble Challenge blog Say Cheese. Create something that makes you smile. Well, that would be my friends!

Also, you can use the sketch from Atlantic Heart Sketches #353. The first one I did was posted on Instagram, (sometimes I'm just too lazy to blog, LOL!) but this one I will post here on my blog.

The little camera is from Courture Creations, the frames were created using Sizzix Slide Mounts, the film strip came from a free download from Pixabay, the stencil is from Clarity Stamp, laughing women from Art Impressions colored with Copics and colored pencils, and I created the sentiment on my computer. For a final touch, I added some tiny enamel hearts. Love my friends and they DO make me smile.

Thanks for stopping by!

One of the Top Three!

 

Time to Let it Snow

 The optional twist this time on   Twisted Thursday, is clock or timepiece.

Our sponsor is Sherri Baldy of My Besties. I selected Image 1858, Winter, and colored her with Copics and PrismaColor pencils. Then, she was fussy cut and popped over the edge of the oval.

The card has two layers of embossed snow/clocks sandwiched with an oval opening. A tiny tag with a clock charm and tie was added to explain the addition of clocks to a winter scene!

Baby It's Cold Outside

Interesting optional challenge this week for Twisted Thursday is to use a horded supply. Well, I found a set of metallic gel pens about 5 years ago on clearance that I just love. I almost never use them because I am afraid that they will run out and they are just too expensive to buy, LOL!  Here is a link to the gold that I used, but I actually got a set for less than what one sells for. You can barely see it, but I used it on her boot buttons!

Our sponsor is My Besties and I selected Image#469, that I colored in Copics and colored pencils. The window is from Sizzix, the embossed snowflakes from Echo Park, Snow is Falling. The background is an embossing folder, and the added color is from Distress Oxides.  I created the sentiment in Word, and fussy cut and popped the image. 

Thanks for dropping by!

Mad Hatter Twisted Easel Card

We are having a Sponsor Appreciation Month for Twisted Thursday as a thank you to all the generosity that allows us to share our creations with all of you!

This time, I chose Dr. Digi as my sponsor to highlight using the image Mad Hatter to create the twisted easel optional challenge.

I colored the image with Copic Markers. The coffee cups came from my stash of "Alice" ephemera.

The tutorial I followed for the twisted easel card is on SplitCoast Stampers. Sentiment from Tim Holtz Small Talk

Closed Card

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will check out all of the sponsors that have supported us this year!   

Glitzy Warm Wishes

Challenge #43 on the Double Trouble Challenge blog is asking for some glitz or glimmer with and optional snowman and a  link to the Cupcake Inspirations Blog.

I made a really big tag using Cutplorations dies. The tree, Penny Black Winter Tree, is really sparkly in person where I embossed with Holographic embossing powder from Ranger. The snowman and flakes, colored with Copics, are from a set from Art Impressions/Hampton Arts and cut with the included dies. The snow was created using puff paint that I sprayed with Rock Candy glitter and heat set to make it puff. The snowman is popped, and the final tag, Lawn Fawn (newer sets are stitched), was added with some ribbon.

Close Up

Thanks for stopping by. I have really appreciated all the kind comments that you have left for me along this fun hop!

Bottoms Up!

Our sponsor for the month of October over at Twisted Thursday is Dr. Digi. I was given this fun image of the Mad Hatter (many of you know I love anything "Alice") so I really enjoyed working with this for my second card as well!

The optional twist is Creepy or Cute and I thought that this photo, from Pixabay, made for a cute fall Halloween/Pumpkin Spiced Latte vibe. I typed up an appropriate sentiment and added it to the photo before printing. 

The image was colored with Copic markers and framed over vellum.  The hatter was fussy cut then added on top of the frame.

Glad you dropped by, and I hope you'll take a peek over at Twisted Thursday and join in on the fun!

Have I Gone Mad?

Our sponsor for the month of October over at Twisted Thursday is Dr. Digi. I was given this fun image of the Mad Hatter (many of you know I love anything "Alice") so I really enjoyed working with this!

The optional twist is Dream or Nightmare and I thought that this photo, from Pixabay, gave a dreamlike quality as a background. The sentiment is pure Mad Hatter and added on the photo.

The image was colored with Copic markers and I added some white gel pen dots to give his outfit a bit more of a mad pizzazz! He was fussy cut to add on top of the image.

Glad you dropped by, and I hope you'll take a peek over at Twisted Thursday and join in on the fun!

Happy Halloween

Let's have some fun with Masking! Optionally, add something you might find in a pumpkin patch over at Double Trouble Challenge Blog #40! 
Then, if you've used the optional challenge, join up with Kat Scrappiness!

The masking was done on the background panel. I use removable Contact paper to make my masks. The leaves, Stampers Anonymous Pressed Foliage, were stamped many times using different colors and different brands of inks until I was happy.

Those fun little Halloween trick-or-treat cuties, colored in Copics then fussy cut, come from a set by Avery Elle, Peek-a-boo-Pals Spooktacular. And, the Picket Fence Border Die comes from Taylored Expression.
