Spring/Summer Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop

Hi, It’s not too springy here yet, but at least winter is over and it is time for the Spring/Summer edition of the Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop. We celebrate coffee and tea with our paper crafting! Here is my entry for today:I made a Mother’s Day card fit for a coffee lover! The die is from Honey Bee Stamps and the paper is Doodlebug Cream and Sugar. The sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio, and the sweet little hearts are from Paper Smooches. Hope you enjoy my card, and please go on over to the blog hop for lots of creativity and inspiration! “Be Good!” Debbie

Happy Mother’s Day!

My Mom and Grandmothers are both in heaven now and I miss them dearly, but I am so thankful for their legacy of love and faith.  (and craftiness too, they were all very crafty!!)  Here are my Mother’s Day cards for this year:

Happy Birthday Bailey

IMG_9639

Hi, just had to share with you a card that I made for a dog!  Yes, a dog, but a very special dog.  Bailey is a Border Collie that belongs to my Husband’s Son.  He comes to visit every Sunday and Bailey comes along, and sometimes she stays with us for a few days when he is gone.  She is the smartest and sweetest dog and we just love her to pieces!  Today is her birthday, she is 12, so I made her this card.  I found the cute Border Collie picture on the net, and printed it off, and made the sentiment with my computer also.  The word balloon is from Paper Smooches, and the twine from May Arts.  Happy Birthday Bailey, we love you!!!  “Be Good!”  Debbie

Tool Box Birthday Card

IMG_8709 Hi!  We have this cute Great-Grandson who will be three years old this week.  He loves tools and fixing things, so I decided to make him a tool box birthday card!  It really was easy, I just scored and folded red paper to make the box, cut a handle from black paper, and the latch on the front is a cut from the curved matting basics set by Spellbinders.  The sentiments on the front and on the inside are from Paper Smooches.  Here is the inside of the card:IMG_8710

The tools are stickers from Reminiscene, they were just perfect for this card.  You could also use some of the various dies that cut tools, ( I have a My Favorite Things set.)  I think this will make a great Father’s Day card also!  Happy Birthday Jackson, we love you!!  “Be Good!”  Debbie

Cute Ghoul Halloween Card

IMG_6664   I love Halloween!   This is a fun card I came up with!  I cut the skirt by hand, and the glittery stars on her dress are stickers from my stash.  The legs are from Taylored Expressions (the witch is in die set).  I used glittery black paper to cut her shoes.  The hem on her dress is the spiderweb border from Taylored Expressions also.  I added some rhinestones to her dress and shoes and a ribbon bow for her waist.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches, and I used a Technique Tuesday banner die to cut it out.  The background paper is from my stash.  Spooky fun!!!  “Be Good!”  Debbie

Halloween Selfie Card

IMG_6400  I have started working on Halloween cards, and had the idea of doing some sort of “selfie”,  so I thought about a ghost taking a selfie!  The photo frame die is from Taylored Expressions, and the Ghost is a Lil’ Inker stitched ghost.  The paper is from Recollections, and the ribbon was from my sister.  The #hashtag selfie, is from the Tim Holtz Hashtags stamp set, and the Boo, is from Paper Smooches!  #funcard I think!   “Be Good!”  Debbie

Spaghetti and Meatballs Birthday Card

IMG_6360 My family loves spaghetti, in fact when I was little, we even had spaghetti at least once for Thanksgiving!  Thankfully, my husband likes spaghetti too. I had this idea for a spaghetti and meatballs card, and my creative Sister threw in a couple of ideas.  (She makes the best spaghetti sauce too!” I just used die cut circles for the plate and the spaghetti, and embossed  with my Sizzix  swirls embossing folder.  I cut small circles and embossed them with a polka dot embossing folder.  The fork is from the Magnolia silverware die set, and I took a thin strip of paper and wound it around the fork for a strand of spaghetti.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  Now I am getting hungry!  “Be Good!”  Debbie

Thomas the Train Birthday Card

IMG_6209

We have a cute Great-Grandson celebrating his 3rd birthday on Wednesday.  He is crazy about Thomas the Train.  We got him a set of books for his birthday, and that gave me the idea for the card.  I just used some of my dies to make the shapes needed to make Thomas, and used Taylored Expressions banners for the banner, Paper Smooches for the sentiment, the 3 is from the Parker alphabet from Memory Box.  I think he will love it!  Happy Birthday Parker!   “Be Good!”  Debbie
