The Rabbit Hole Designs ~ Caffeinated Friends!

Hi there crafty friends!

A quick post from me today sharing a couple cards I made over the weekend using stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs' fabulous Caffeinated line of stamps!

A little stenciling and a strip of summer patterned paper from Carta Bella's Summer Splash paper pad made this quick card even quicker! I colored the Caffeinated Flamingo with the following Copic markers ~ RV0000, RV02, RV52, RV63, Y06, Y35, N0, N2, N5, N7.

This card was stubborn... much like this Caffeinated Rabbit looks to be! LOL!

I tried adding more paper and layers and Mr. Rabbit just wouldn't have it so I just added the die cut sentiment that I cut from the same Summer Splash papers and die cut the panel with a wonky stitched rectangle die. I fussy cut Mr. Rabbit and adhered him to the card over a little shading I added to the panel. I used the following Copic markers for this card ~ N0, N2, R20, BG11, BG32.

I'm entering Mr. Caffeinated Rabbit in the CASology: Summer Challenge.

That's it for me today! Two simple, but cute cards! Be sure to check out The Rabbit Hole Designs... their June release was revealed today and it's ADORBS!!

Thanks for checking out my blog post!

See ya next time.

Hey crafty peeps!!

So, a few days ago I shared another card using The Rabbit Hole Designs stamps... you can check that card out here ---> Handmade Brew card. When I made the background for that card, I also made this background that I set aside just for the Caffeinated Rabbit! I have been just itching to ink this guy up!! I love this stamp so much!

This was totally me this morning!! LOL... 

So, I considered just leaving the background as is, but as I was reaching for my stitched rectangle die and I saw the Cover Up Stitched Clouds die by Lil' Inker Designs.  I thought it would make the background even better and I have to say that I love it! I very simply colored the rabbit with just a little touch of N0, N2, and R20 Copic markers. The cup was colored with V01 and V06. Now I was gluing down the rabbit and decided to put a little grey mat under him... imagine me doing a mad dash for the grey card stock LOL!! Well, since I was in a hurry I just hand cut my oval-ish mat and glued it hastily down and then finished adhering the rabbit. It was all very hare-ied *wink* *wink* and hilarious to me, anyway!

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of the same grey card stock using VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed the sentiment down to a flag and then popped it up on the panel. The main panel is also popped up on the white card base. 

There you have it... a fun, quick card!

There's a couple more days for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. I sure 

hope you've had a chance to play along!!

Hey crafty peeps!

Today, I'm sharing my love of coffee using The Rabbit Hole Designs little freebie stamp that I received in my last order from the new May release!! If you're not familiar with The Rabbit Hole Designs stamps... you are missing out!! After you check out my card, go check them out!

Once I saw this sweet little stamp set I just knew I had to make an alcohol ink background and pull out my much neglected Alcohol Lift Ink ink pad. I used turquoise and raspberry alcohol inks and just swiped the ink across the yupo card stock using a blending tool with the felt. I stamped the beautiful partial coffee image several times, along with the 'Love' and 'coffee' stamps. I even decided to stamp a few of the caffeine molecule stamp... so fun! 

I'm not sure why my card has a yellow tinge in this picture, but I took a few different photos and couldn't get a better picture so... here it is. 

I mat the alcohol ink layer onto a piece of Tempting Turquoise card stock and wrapped the vellum layer over top securing it with adhesive on the back. I popped up the panel onto a white card base and added a few white enamel dots... bam! Love how it turned out!

I encourage you to check out the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop... it's so much fun!
