Coffee Before Talkie

This week at Creative Knockouts the theme is Border Time.  Your project must have some kind of border on it.

I used Espresso Yourself from Sparkle n Sprinkle for my project.  You get two black and white images and two colored as well as quite a few sentiments.  This sentiment came from the digi pack.  It had hearts on either side of before, but I cut them off before printing.  I don't know about you, but I certainly do not feel the love before I have had my coffee!  I have a few different borders: gems, embossed, and the stitched border on the banner.  The stitched banner is from Rubbernecker Stamps.

Grateful

Our new challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner is Thankful.  How will you show your gratitude?

I used Autumn Squirrel from Bugaboo.  He seems so grateful to have those acorns!  I thought this would make a great thank you card for someone who has done something super special for you!  He was colored with Copic markers.  The background paper is from Bo Bunny's Apple Cider collection which is available digitally on Snap Click Supply.

Out of Jail

This week for my feature on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog, I have pulled out my coffee stamps again.  I just can't get enough of these stamp sets!

I used the cup stack from the Coffee Blanket set and paired it with a red rubber sentiment called Out of Jail.  I used the matching die set to cut it out.  It was embossed with gold embossing powder.  In case you can read it it says "I have one cup of coffee each morning to start the day off right.  The other ones are to keep me out of jail, form sentences, and fuel my razor sharp wit."  Anyone that knows me well enough, would say this sentiment fits me to a tee!  I used the coffee bean as an accent as well.  The cup stack was colored with Copic markers and has a little gold and silver Wink of Stella here and there for a bit of sparkle.

While you are over on the blog, check out what my teamies have come up with.  I am sure you will love it!

Hauntly

This week at Creative Knockouts, the theme is Embossing Delight.  Your project must have embossing, wet or dry.

This is Hauntly.  She is one of the Polka Dot Pals from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  As soon as I saw her I fell in love!  Of course I had to color her in my favorite Halloween color combo!  The background paper is from Carina Gardner's Halloween Haunts collection available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

You have a chance to win a $6 gift certificate for the shop.  You can get Hauntly or some of her other Polka Dot Pals.  Click the badge below to check it out.

Sicara

This week at Crafty Gals the theme of our challenge is to use Halloween colors on your project.  If you are going to use Halloween colors, you may as well make a Halloween card!

I think my favorite Halloween color combo is purple and black, if you couldn't tell.  I colored Sicara Witch from Scrap n' Dipity using Copic markers.  I kept mostly to purple and black for this card but added a little green for her hair and some orange for a bright pop.  The background paper is from Nancy Rowe Janitz' Oct 31 collection available digitally on Snap Click Supply.

Jasmin

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the challenge is anything goes.  Since it is still October, I decided to go with another adorable witch stamp.

This is Jasmin the Witch and she was colored with Copic markers.  She has a background paper from the Fancy Pants Oct 31 collection available digitally from Snap Click Supply.  I kept it fairly simple with just some ribbon so she could steal the show.  The sentiment is from Rubbernecker Stamps.  Unfortunately, this set is retired, but you can pop over and see what is available.

We always love to see your projects so I hope you will play along with us.  You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments product, but if you do you have a chance to win even more.

Hope to see you there!
