Calling all Coffee Lovers

Hello and a well caffeinated welcome...

I am so excited for you to accompany us as we join up with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers  for their Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I am joining in as part of The Rabbit Hole Designs. This is our second time joining them and we are happy to announce we are Super Sponsors for this event. For the duration of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, The Rabbit Hole Designs will be offering specials ...

We are offering 15% off everything in the Caffeinated section of the shop!

Use Code: FALLBREW at checkout.

You can shop for all of the Caffeinated Critters HERE

So, now I'll show you the caffeinated critter I chose to use.... the BOXER!

His expression just cracks me up so much!  I mean, LOOK at him!  I decided to make him into a Christmas card by coloring heavy on the red and green and changing his sentiment a bit.  I used the script font from the "Love You More" set.  I'm still giggling at this silly pup. 

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see Michelle Bala sharing more Caffeinated Critters. Make sure you also head over to CLC Fall/Winter Blog Hop to link up to win some awesome prizes. The hop goes through November 8th.

See ya all soon! Toodles!

TRHD New release day 2

Well, it's nice to see you back here for day 2 of The Rabbit Hole Designs new release.  Up next we have a super silly Christmas PIG!!!! Yup, you totally read that right, a PIG!!!!!

How can you not chuckle when you see this little piggy skiing in his Santa suit?!?!!?! This is a 3x4" stamp set and i's called "Merry Pigmas."  You can purchase him by clicking on this link: Merry Pigmas. 

I began by coloring him up using my Copic Markers and fussy cutting him out using my Cutter Bee Scissors.  Then I had literally no idea what to do with him.  So, I grabbed a couple of extra die cuts that I had literally just lying on my desk (for like 2 months) and used some Distress Oxide Ink to add a pop of green around the edges.  I then used the awesome Candy Swirl Stencil from TRHD (seriously love Rabbit Hole Stencils, they ROCK!) and a gradient of red Distress Oxide Inks on Sweet Sentiment Paper.  I trimmed everything to fit on my card (5.5"x5.5") and finished it off with a black ribbon from good 'ol Hobby Lobby. 

So, I hope that I've inspired you to get this silly pig.  He really does make fun and silly Christmas cards.  I mean, how many times have you gotten a card with a skiing pig dress up as Santa on it?  Yup, I rest my case. LOL!!! 

See y'all back here tomorrow for day three of the release.  Have a wonderful day. Toodles!!! 

TRHD New release day 1

Well, hello there, I see you've hopped over here to see the new release from The Rabbit Hole Designs.  Well, welcome!

I'm here to show you my new cards from he release and hopefully inspire you to go purchase those awesome stamps and get to crafting!  Here's the first set....

This set is called "Love you more - Christmas frost, and is available In the shop through this link: 

Love you more - Christmas Frost Stamp Set.

Oh my gosh you guys!!!! This set is soooo stinking cute!  I mean, how can you even resist this?  It makes some adorable and even quick Christmas or Holiday cards for pretty much anyone you can think of.  My first card was made using the little couple decorating the Christmas tree.... here ya go:

I created a little scene for them.  it just felt like they were standing in their living room (with their posh wallpaper) trying to get that star on top of the tree.  I'm thinking they are newlyweds and that is why they do not have simple things like... ohhh.... a stepladder or window coverings..... hahahah!  

(This image was colored with Copic markers on Sweet Sentiment coloring paper. The DSP is from Doodlebug designs and the Ribbon is from the Craft Warehouse.)

The second card I modified the stamp a little bit for, here, take a look:

I stamped the one where the couple is shopping, but I didn't ink up the little guy, just the girl.  I figured she was off Christmas shopping and in serious need of a coffee.... but she spent all of her money on gifts.  Such a bummer.  So now, she's wondering how to get a coffee.... the sentiment was also modified to read "all I want for Christmas is Coffee." Sounds legit to me.  I'd be stoked if I got a bunch of coffee gift cards for Christmas, "it's the gift that keeps on giving, Clark, the whole year through." (name that movie!!!)

(This image was colored using Copic markers on Sweet Sentiment coloring paper. The DSP is from Unity Stamp Company.  Wow! Embossing Powder was used for the sentiment along with a white and silver Jelly Roll pen for accents.  Tonic Studio Nuvo drops were also used for the corner accents.)

Thank you all for stopping by, I hope I made you smile and I hope that I gave you a little spark of inspiration on how to use these stamps.  Thanks so much! Hugs to you all and see ya back here tomorrow for more new stuff!  Toodles!!!
