Hello! I have a quick post today for The Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I always love to participate in these, even though I don’t drink coffee. But I do LOVE a good hot chocolate and so that is my focus for this card.
I love a good plaid background so I stamped with Distress Oxides onto red paper. Then I added coffee cups…I paper pieced those cup holder centers with my favorite red Christmas paper.
I added a garland of holly onto red baker’s twine. Then I stamped the sentiment with versafine onyx black ink.
The quickest card, and oh-so-fun to make! I hope you enjoyed!
If you are joining in, today is the last day…so hurry on over to enter.
Hello! Today I have a sweet dog sympathy card to share. I’ve recently been thinking of my own little puppy who passed away just a couple years ago (I always get sentimental around Christmas time…he just loved the Christmas tree and the tree skirt made of “snow’!)
This sentiment set has me all teary-eyed and so I made a bright and happy card to counteract the sadness.
Can you just see it now? All the dogs we’ve ever loved!! Yes! I will love that day.
To make this card, I colored up a trio of Corgis with Copic Markers. I created a rainbow cloudy sky with a stencil and my favorite domed blending tools.
Then I stamped the sentiment, colored in the rainbow with Copics, and added my favorite Stardust Stickles to that cloud.
I added two layers of grass in varying green colors. Then I popped up the Corgis with foam tape! Aren’t they so cute?!
For some fun I die cut using Wonky Stitched Borders around the entire card. That’s what adds the stitching lines around the border.

Hello there! Today I am showcasing the new Altenew Snowflake Cover Dies. I love these dies on their own, but when you layer them together: WOW! These make it easy to make a professional looking card!
This sentiment is a new holiday set from Scrapbook.com and I love all the fonts and sentiments for this time of year.
I layered up those cover dies (there are two of them and they make this beautiful snowflake design when layered!) and then adhered them to red glitter card. I added the sentiment that I stamped in Grass Skirt green ink and then attached some holly bundles.
I have a VERY quick video to show you how these cover dies work and how fast this card comes together. Watch it below or on YouTube:
These are some new favorites and I will have more ideas and examples for you coming up soon!

Hello! Christmas is the perfect reason to send cards! Yes! And today I have a fun project with a sentiment that says just that.
This sentiment is fun to remind those people in your life that they are HANDMADE CARD worthy!! Lol. I know you know what I’m talking about…if you make handmade cards that is. Only the best people get a handmade card!
For this card I did some ink blending with my new favorite domed ink blending tools. Then I splattered on some white Gansai Tambi paint. Those cute little Christmas lights were colored using Copic markers. I added silver embossing powder to the part that screws into the strand, and some glitter glue to all the lightbulbs for a bit of sparkle. You know I love my sparkle!
I popped up each individual light onto the strand using foam tape.
This is a simple enough card to make, but I don’t think it would be good for mass production with all those little lights. Maybe if you left them flat and didn’t pop them up it would be much faster.

Hello! Today I could not stop giggling while making this card. This sentiment is so, so funny…and I couldn’t wait to show you a couple of card options for it.
First, I have colored up Santa with Copics and added the sentiment below him. Then I die cut the panel with the Cross-Stitched Stackables and adhered it to fun foam. I added the entire panel to some Echo Park holly paper (that I love!)
The best sentiment!
Isn’t he cute? Would you even go as far to say that Santa is looking attractive?! Lol.
I’ve got a quick video tutorial, watch it below or on YouTube:
If you are a Copic Colorer, I have the Copic Color Chart for you here. Roll your cursor over the image below to PIN IT for later.
If you are NOT a Copic Colorer, I have one more card idea to share below! Keep on scrolling.
Now, if you want to use this sentiment on a quick card (with no Copic Coloring) I’ve got you covered! Try using a stencil to make some green lines, then use these Bella-Pops to make a fast and cute card.

I hope this post made you smile. Thanks for stopping by. I’m really looking forward to the holidays this year and sending out a few of these cards to my *older* friends. Lol.
