Eat Drink and Be Merry

Have you been enjoying the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop? Doodlebugs is a Super Sponsor of the event. Read all the details over on the main hop post HERE. I wanted to share another caffeinated themed project today:

Today's project features:

• Mama Elephant - December Duo | stamps + creative cuts
• Sunny Studio Stamps - Merry Mocha | stamp + dies
• Lawn Fawn - Honeycomb Shaker Gift Tag | lawn cuts
• Lawn Fawn - Stitched Snowflake Backdrop | lawn cuts
• Lawn Fawn - Falling Leaves | 6x6
• Pretty Pink Posh - Eyelet Circles | dies
• Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Mug | dies
• Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Words | stencil

Do you see the stencil work behind those cute critters? I used Concord & 9th - Parsley ink.  The sentiment has been heat embossed in white on the same Falling Leaves base panel.  I did the heat embossing in the center of the panel so I could still use the A2 panel for my card design.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mixing Your Mushrooms and Your Techniques

Happy Monday! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook for another Mix it up Monday. Today I'm sharing a fun mushroom filled gnome card. I had fun with all of my favorite techniques on this card - ink blending, messy with texture paste, coloring and die cutting. It's all there!

After getting the new Mushroom stencil from Pretty Pink Posh, I immediately went to my stash to gather other mushroomy things to play with! Eventually I landed on the Lawn Fawn Mushroom border and Oh Gnome stamps and dies.

I ink blended the background stencils, finishing the detail layer off with texture paste. I cleaned up my space and got to die cutting my fun mushroom border. I love that this border has a grass layer so you can have fun dimension with little effort. I used liquid glue to add my mushroom caps and then adhere the layers together. With the texture paste dry at this point, I trimmed everything down to A2 size and popped the ground layer up with foam tape on the stenciled panel.

Next, I stamped images from Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome and colored them with copic markers. After cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I added them to the scene with liquid glue and foam squares. I also went it with some white gel pen highlights and glossy accents on the mushroom dots.

The Oh Gnome stamp set has great sentiments and a speech bubble with mini sentiments to use but in the end I landed on a fabulous Mama Elephant Banner Greetings die cut. It was more generic which is what I was looking for and fits so perfect up there.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

I used a white stencil paste that I had in my stash with the stencil.

No stamping on this card and a bit of die cutting.  I love how many details you can add to the project.  Concord & 9th really does a great job with that.
