Adorable Newton!

Card number 6 for my favorite blog hop!! #summerclh I started a 7th but might not get it finished in time.

Just adore this stamp set by Newton's Nook called "Newton Loves Coffee"!  I was in the mood to do a little paper piecing from my Doodlebug "Sugar Shoppe" paper pad. (Plus my sister's birthday is coming up and I think she'll love this card!)

Yes I used a lot of glossy accents lol! The cute spotted cup had to be shiny though!

I even coated the sentiment stamped square that says "a birthday brew for you!"

 The finishing touch...pink whiskers for Newton! Hope you enjoyed this creation!

Tea Staining on Lace and Birthday KISS card

 Made another KISS card today.  KISS = Keep It Simple Stamper.  A set of owl stamps from Hampton Art are one of my favorite sets.  The images looked cute stamped in colored pigment ink squares I found at Tuesday Morning!  This card is to help Bugaboo celebrate their 5th birthday!  Todays challenge was a color scheme. I liked the way these 2 shades of green paired with the pink ink hearts.

I also spent today dying some white/cream lace that I want to use for a future project.  The lace on the left seemed to have a protective layer and would not take the tea color (I soaked it for 30 minutes.)  Instead, I then put 8 drops of red food coloring and 5 drops of blue into 2 cups of warm water to make the shade of purple on the left.

 

I LOVE the color shade of the white lace I tea dyed on the right!  The tea I used: Lipton Green Tea Cranberry Pomegranate flavored.  I also soaked this one for 30 minutes and it came out beautifully! Now to decide which to use on my project featuring purple/pink roses....tough choice!  I will post pictures of my project when it is complete.
Items I used for card:

•  Core'dinations 65lb cardstock from Jo-Ann
•  Hampton Art Owl Stamps (SC0191
• Colored Pigment Ink Squares from Tuesday Morning 
•  6"x6" Designer Paper Pad by Colorbox bought at WalMart

Birthday Card and My First KISS Card

Today was my first try at making a KISS card.  KISS stands for Keep It Simple Stamper!  I did just that with both of my cards today!

I found this lovely birthday cake image on Melly Moo's Papercrafting blog (link below) and thought it was perfect for a simple birthday card to help Bugaboo celebrate their 5th birthday! It was colored using inexpensive colored pencils and outlined in a blue glitter gel pen by American Crafts.  

I really enjoyed making the KISS card!  The small pigment ink squares from Tuesday Morning were perfect for this project with their vibrant colors. I used a permanent tape runner diagonally across the card and pressed some nail art glitter into it. Found the chunky glitter in the nail section of Dollar Tree! 8 beautiful colors were each in their own little plastic bottle and they fit nicely into the small drawers of an art cabinet on my work area. This card is also being entered into: -The Crafter's Cafe,  
-Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge,  Winter Stamping
-Craft Your Passion
-Through the Craft Room Door (TTCRD)

•  Deco Art Craft Twinkles Winter Glitter Paint Writter
