For all the football lovers!

By    November 16, 2025 // No comments
 Hello, Janet here with a simple football card.  It is the time of year when all the football fans are glued to the television.
I stamped the football and helmet with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They are colored with watercolor pencils and cut out. Happy Birthday is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink and cut out with a die. The bottom layer is brown speckled paper. The next layer is designed paper that looks like a football field. Last step, attach the football, helmet, and Happy Birthday to the card.

 Hello Janet here with a singing Penguin Christmas card.
I stamped four penguins on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored them and cut them out. The bottom layer of the card is black cardstock. The next layer is a blue and white design. It reminds me of ice. I tore a small strip of clear vellum and put it at the bottom to look like an iceberg. Then I attached the penguins to it. We wish you a Merry Christmas is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on white cardstock and cut out with a die.

Stamping a Rainbow of Coffee Beans

By    November 13, 2025 // No comments
Hi everyone, Dalis here!
You know how coffee cards usually lean into browns and neutrals? Well, not this one! When I started this design, I knew I wanted coffee — but I also wanted color. So, I went bold. Vibrant, happy tones, and a palette that just makes you smile. It’s coffee, but in technicolor! Because sometimes a cup of joy needs a splash (or three) of color.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Memento Tuxedo Black, Alcohol Markers, white gel pen, pattern paper, wall repair tape, stickers and ephemera, foil, googley eyes, silver thread, and black bling.

Before I get into the BLOG HOP, let me mention we are having a 25% SALE: COFFEE, TEA & COCOA SALE!

How to Recreate This Card:

  1. Lightly draw diagonal pencil lines about one inch apart across your card front.

  2. Stamp your large and small coffee beans, rotating the stamps each time to create visual interest.

  3. Follow the ROYGBIV color order for a fun rainbow look! I used Memento ink pads — they’re bright, vibrant, and stay that way beautifully over time.

  4. Once the ink is completely dry, gently erase your pencil lines.

  5. Add a few doodled hearts for a playful touch.

  6. Stamp the “Cool Beans” sentiment with VersaMark ink onto a piece of vellum, then heat emboss it in black.

  7. Color the beans from the back side of the vellum with alcohol markers, then attach it to your card front.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Pumpkin Spice

By    November 12, 2025 // No comments
 Hello, Janet here with a coffee card. The best part of fall is the pumpkin spice. You can find it almost anywhere.
I stamped the to go coffee cup and the coffee beans with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I colored them with copic markers. The label on the coffee cup is a piece of pumpkin-designed paper cut to fit. The sentiment, Sit back, Relax, and have a great day, is stamped in the upper right corner with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I tore the white cardstock, giving it rough edges. Using a soft brush and brown ink I went over the white cardstock. It is layered on brown paper and attached to the card front.

A Whole Latte Love for Paper Piecing

By    November 10, 2025 // 1 comment
  Hi Everyone, Dalis here.
☕ Coffee is my JAM! Honestly, without coffee, life would be… well, let’s just say I’m not willing to risk it for everyone’s safety. 😅

I’ve been hoarding some patterned paper from my #1900sCraftyStash (you know the one—you love it too!), and decided it was finally time to give it some love. The Coffee Cup Heart stamp was the perfect match for a little paper piecing magic, and let me tell you—it turned out even better than I imagined!

I colored the heart and kraft sections to bring it all together, and even with a little fidgeting on the die-cutting part (looking at you, “BEAN” letters 😜), the whole card came together in about 30 minutes.

Scroll down for the full instructions—hope you give it a try! 💛

How to Recreate This Card:

  1. Cardbase is a grey cardstock sized at 7x6 inches. Scored at 3.5 on the 7" side to make this mini slimline. Cut out a piece of pattern paper at 3x5.5" and attached to the front, leaving a frame margin all around it.

  2. Stamp the Coffee Cup Heart on white cardstock and also onto your pattern paper of choice. This teal bubbled paper was just perfection (in my humble opinion.)

  3. Cut out the two pieces that make the cup without the sleeve from the pattern paper stamped piece. 

  4. Before gluing the paper pieced pieces color the sleeve, heart and the shadow on the lid of the cup. This way in case you color outside the line the pattern paper might cover it.

  5. Glue your pattern paper pieced pieces onto the white stamped image that you just colored.

  6. Stamp your Bean Awhile sentiment, masking the word BEAN onto white cardstock with your Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Cut the IT'S and AWHILE and colored the borders to make it look distressed.

  7. Die-cut the word BEAN.

  8. Assemble as shown.

Additional Supplies: Alcohol Markers, Pattern Papers and Alphabet Dies

Have You Tried Minion Coffee?

By    November 09, 2025 // 1 comment

 I would love to try Minion Coffee, 
I feel like it would be enough energy to get me through the day.
I started with a yellow card base. I added a coffee pattern paper for the background.
I also added a strip of wood grain paper for the floor.
I used the cup from the Coffee Set 1 stamp and colored it with alcohol markers. 
Next I added the letter M using glitter paper. 
I also used the Dave Jumping stamp which I colored using the same markers
as I used for the cup.
I used alphabet dies for the larger sentiment and stamped the smaller sentiment from the
Coffee Set 1 stamp set.

Have a nice day,
Timothy

A Sip of Retro Charm

By    November 08, 2025 // 1 comment
  Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

There’s something about that 50’s carved look on stamps that always makes me stop scrolling. It’s nostalgic and bold at the same time — like finding a piece of vintage charm that still feels modern. When I saw this coffee stamp at Crackerbox Stamps, it went straight into my cart. I knew it would be one of those stamps I could use again and again — for anyone, any occasion. I paired it with a retro color palette that just felt right, and honestly, the sentiment tied it all together. The pièce de résistance, as they say!

How to Recreate This Card:

  4. Stamp your sentiment with embossing ink and heat emboss it using white embossing powder.

  5. Cut the ends of the strip into a fishtail shape and adhere it to the card front.

Snowlady Neiva

By    November 06, 2025 // No comments
 Hello, look out for Snowlady Neiva sliding down the hill! She a fast and flashy snowlady!
I stamp the Snowlady on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored her with colored pencils. Snowman X-ing is stamped on woodgrain paper with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink, then torn into a rectangle to look like an old, weathered sign. The signpost is out of the same paper. I added the sign to the bottom corner of the cardstock. The white cardstock is layered with dark blue paper, and then with blue snowflake paper. I added some silver glitter to the snowflakes to make her sparkle more.

Cindy Lou Who?

By    November 05, 2025 // No comments
Toni here with you today, sharing a cheerful holiday card featuring my favorite holiday cartoon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
I first cut out the frame using a candy-striped paper. Next, I stamped Grinch & Max as well as Cindy Lou, then colored them up with Zig Real Brush Markers. They're all so cute!  

I embossed the Cindy Lou Saying sentiment in a bright red to coordinate with the frame. I had originally planned to leave the background white, but that seemed so plain vanilla, so I did a quick sponging with blue and a bit of spattering to mimic snow.

Wishing You A Haunting Night

By    October 30, 2025 // 1 comment

 Vicky here today. I am a little sad that October is almost gone.
The cool weather, beautiful colors on the trees, and the fun decorations in yards.
The fun holiday, Halloween, is here tomorrow. Halloween is the best holiday; you can dress up, have fun, and eat candy in the spirit of Halloween
Here is my last Halloween card for this year! It's a simple and quick Halloween card with a frightfully cute pumpkin.
I stamped the saying, Ghost Goblins Galore, " on the left.
The Pumpkin was stamped in the center of the saying and colored.
Sequences were added in the corner and mounted, and...done!

I hope you enjoyed the month of October!

We Still Rock

By    October 29, 2025 // No comments

Age is just a number, we are only as old as we act.
 I started with a maroon card base.
I layered an embossed pink cardstock on top. I stamped the Inner You
and We Still Rock stamps on light pink paper and used stitched square dies to cut them out.
To finish the card, I added three decorative brads. Thanks for stopping by.
