Christmas Coffee Cup Gift Card Envelopes and Cards for Teachers


Hey All! 

Sorry I have been MIA for a few weeks. The Christmas craze has come over me and has left with little time for crafting!

So today I have a card and some Coffee Cup Gift Card Envelopes I made for the teachers to share with you! So cute and really quick to make. If you are still looking for a last minute gift idea, there is still plenty of time to make these!


For the card background, I wanted to create a stitch sweater look. So I used MFT stitched line dies to achieve the look I wanted. Really love how it turned out!
For the full list of products I used please check out the links below the post.

These Coffee Cup Gift Card Envelopes will be perfect for those Starbucks gift cards that teachers need for their daily dose of Java!


I filmed the process video... so for those that like to watch, this is for you!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow - Cards


Bet that song is stuck in your head now... hehe!

So today I want to share a couple of fun winter cards I made using one of Fleurette Bloom's latest sets Let It Snow.

For this first card, the stamping was super simple. I used VersaMark ink to randomly stamp the background of my shaker card and heat embossed it using some fine white embossing powder. Then used scribbled some Zig Clean Color inks on clear acetate and smooshed it on the watercolor paper. Once it was all dry I created this beautiful shaker card with it!


For the second card, I randomly stamped a few images on watercolor paper and then did some messy coloring using my Zig Clean Color real Brushes. I then used some clear Wink of Stella to add sparkle to the skates, mitts and snowflakes (difficult to see on the picture, but in person this card sparkles). I thought it would be fun to make this one a New Years Card, as it reminded me of skating at the park in the New Year!


Check out the links below for a list of the supplies I used. And if you haven't already, check out Fleurette Bloom's Winter Bundle Stamps... they are awesome!

The Daily Marker's 30 Day Color Challenge


Hi Everyone!

Seems like forever since my last blog post. Just wanted to let you know I have been crazy busy and yes still managing to squeeze in a few minutes a day to do the 30 Day Color Challenge but doing that has left me with no time to blog :(

If you care to see what I have been up to check out my Instagram link to the right of the page. I've been practising my coloring and have been doing lots and lots of it! I love that this challenge has made me pull out all the pretty stamps that I have been collecting or uhummm hoarding, over the last year ;) and finally getting the chance to play with them.

Here is a summary of my 30 day challenge so far...
and there is still a few days left to join and lots of prizes that are up for grabs!

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting  :)
