Looking for Mr. Coffee Valentine

Holiday greetings, my friends!  Toni here sharing a snarky Valentine although that Helen with Coffee certainly conveys my exhaustion during the holidays.  Whew!

I stamped Helen with Coffee and the Mr. Coffee sentiment on Bristol cardstock. I then watercolored her with Zig Real Brush Markers. I created flooring using washi. Wasn't that easy?!

Tipsy Tidings from the North Pole

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

Some stamp sets steal a giggle, others steal the whole show… and this one might just be my forever favorite. It’s naughty, fun, and perfectly unhinged in the most festive way. The Let’s Get Blitzen sentiment pairs like a dream with the Santa and Reindeer Dancing stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, creating a scene that feels lifted straight from the North Pole’s after-hours holiday party.

This card leans fully into the holiday spirit — both the twinkly kind and the kind poured into questionable eggnog. The colors are classic, bright, merry, and loud enough that even Rudolph would squint approvingly. It’s one of those makes that practically winks at you from the craft table.

If you’re itching to craft something funny for your family, friends, or that one person who absolutely appreciates a tipsy reindeer, this set will keep the joy flowing season after season. Here’s to cards that toast, twirl, and tiptoe on the naughty list. Cheers! 

Supply List:

Santa and Reindeer Dancing

Get Blitzen 

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: Snowflake brads, bling, pattern paper, and dies

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

Be Thankful For Who

This quote is very wise words from a young man.

I stamped the tree from the Charlie Brown Tree and Saying stamp set

using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it using alcohol markers and 

layered it on top of blue pattern paper.

I stamped the sentiment using Memento Lady Bug Ink.

I layered it on top of blue cardstock.

I used two different Charlie Brown themed pattern papers

for the main layer of the card.

I used foam adhesive to pop the tree layer up and glued

the sentiment directly to the card front.

Thanks for stopping by,

Timothy

An Evening of Elegant Light

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

We’re leaning into the soft-glow side of the season with the Candles 3 Lit stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, and goodness does it deliver a quiet kind of magic. The colors drift away from the usual holiday palette and settle instead into something gentle and refined, like a whispered toast in a dim room.

The thread accents and tiny embellishments weave in just enough texture to make the design linger in the mind long after you set the card down. Nothing loud, nothing hurried, just a graceful trio of candles carrying their own hush of warmth.

A little glow, a little shimmer, and a whole lot of elegance. This one feels like a deep breath wrapped in cardstock. 

Supply List:

Candles 3 Lit

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: pattern papers, bling, dies, and thread.

Sweet Treats For Christmas

Hello Stampers. Vicky here with a bag of sweet treats.

How can you not think of cookies when you think of Christmas?

Do you make cookies for gifts or hand them out at Christmas? Here is a card to go along with those cookies. If you don't have time to bake, give them a bag of cookies and candy like this.

I stamped all of the images and cut them out.

While I was making this card, I thought of so many other things I could put into it.

The bag, bow, and cookies can be bought separately. I added the link to the sets because they are money-saving.

Merry Grinchmas

I cannot think of Christmas without thinking of The Grinch.

I colored the Grinch Head and Grinch Saying Lg. stamp using alcohol markers.

I used the Grinch Mas sentiment and cut it out, leaving a small border around

the words. I die cut a scalloped frame using green glitter cardstock and layered it

onto red cardstock. I cut out the inside of the red cardstock to create a shaker

window. I added white tulle behind the frame with double-sided tape.

I also attached the Grinch and sentiment to the tulle with double-sided tape. 

I glued strips of paper on the back side of the image and sentiment to cover up

the tape so the sequins are able to move around freely.

I added foam adhesive around the frame, added clear sequins, and used 

plaid pattern paper to enclose the sequins. Lastly, I added the card front

to a 6.5x3.5 card base.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a 

Merry Grinchmas!

Happy Anniversary

 A sweet Anniversary card for a happy couple.

I stamped the Sassy Heart twice with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with copic markers. Next, using a soft brush and pink ink, I made a smooth background. After that, I used a stipple brush and some red ink. I wrapped ribbon around the top of the cardstock. Happy Anniversary is stamped with C VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on scrap cardstock, then die-cut. Using 2 brads, I attached the sentiment over the ribbon. I also added three brads to the bottom right of the card. A red die-cut frame is the finishing touch.

Patterned Paper Gingerbread Parade

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

The cookie crew is reporting for duty, freshly stamped, colored, and dressed to impress. These little gingerbread-shaped charmers from Crackerbox Stamps practically pirouette off the patterned paper, soaking up its toasty tones to look more gingerbread than sugar-sweet. A bit of decorating here, a flourish there, and suddenly the plate feels alive with holiday cheer and cookie swagger. Santa might need to pace himself, because these cuties are almost too adorable to dunk. 

Supply List:

Cookie Frosted Christmas Set of 3

Cute Minion Kevin Valentine

Not so spooky greetings, my friends! Toni here with you today sharing a cheeky Valentine card.

First, I masked the card front using blue tape, then sponged a lips stencil with a bright pink ink. 

I stamped Count Phil on a piece of scrap Bristol cardstock, then watercolored him using Zig Real Brush markers.  Next, I cut out the scalloped heart from white and sponged it using two shades of bright pink. I adhered Count Phil in the middle and trimmed away the excess paper.

Lastly, I embossed the Love Bites sentiment on black. How very fun!!

Christmas Tags 2

Hello Stampers. I have made another set of Christmas tags.

I mentioned in my first tag post that it makes the gift even more personal.

It's a great way to use the smaller scraps.

I used a die for the tags, but they are easy to cut.

I will be putting a Christmas saying on the back of the tags.

The first tag~ was quick and easy. I just used a punch.

The Second tag~ I stamped From Our Family, with Tulip Red 

and then I used one of our new stamps, Tiny Icon Set of 6.

The Third tag~We Wish You was stamped with VersaFine and mounted on black.

The fourth tag~The top of the tag is a punch.

The bottom was stamped with Warm Wishes, then sponged the edges.

The fifth tag~The snowflakes are all done with punches.

The Sixth tag~I stamped Have A Cool Yule, cut at an angle.

I had a scrap piece of snowflake paper that I added, and put a small snowflake in the corner.

Sipping Season Sparkle: Let’s Get Lit!

     Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

'Tis the hour for a drinkity-drink, and this card steps right up to clink glasses. It keeps its stance simple, like a well-poured cocktail, then leans in with just a few spicy embellishments that feel like decorative bubbles rising to the surface. A wink of sparkle here, a playful detail there, and suddenly the whole thing hums with that holiday-evening buzz where lights glow warmer, and spirits grow braver. Consider it a tiny paper toast to getting lit in all the best ways.

Supply List:

Glass and Get Lit

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: Shaped dies, bling, pattern paper.

How to recreate this card: 

1. Stamp Glass with Memento Black ink and color using your favorite medium. I colored mine with alcohol markers. 
2. Add highlights with a white gel pen if desired.
3. To create the shadow of the lights, just offset the shadow a bit and follow the same all along the glass. Blend the warm grey color with a blender pen.
4. Add a line of light blue marker close to the line around the glass, but not touching the line.
5. Fussy cut the image.
6. Cut a die cut from silver paper and doodle around it.
7. Stamp the sentiment from Glass and Get Lit, and cut with die and draw a stitched line around it.
8. Trim a piece of paper with the 25 and mat on white cardstock.
9. I did follow a sketch from Kendra's Card Challenge for the background layers.
10. Add twine/thread and bling.

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