The Rabbit Hole Designs #Buzzed Bumblebee

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’m sharing this wobbly rainbow Caffeinated Bee from The Rabbit Hole Designs. He’s hanging out on an action wobbler so he buzzes when you flick him. It’s great fun! Trust me…

To make this card, I…

Stamped, colored, cut my bee and set him aside.
Die cut cloud borders for the top and bottom of the card, stamped the sentiments and inked the edges with distress ink.
I stamped the caffeine molecules from my various caffeinated critters in rainbow order, skipping yellow because my bee is yellow.
I adhered the stamped background to a yellow card base and then popped the clouds up with foam tape.
Last, I added Wink of Stella glitter brush to the bee’s wings and popped him on the card with an action wobbler for a little interactive element on this fairly simple card.

He sticks up pretty far but compresses totally flat to fit in an envelope. Also, when you pull the card out of an envelope the bee naturally buzzes a little on its own to give the recipient a hint that he moves. Super fun!

Here are the stamps I used:

Lawn Fawn Costume Party Card

Who’s ready for fall??? Okay, if you know me, you know that my hand is raised the highest right now. Needless to say I’ve been having a blast with fall and Halloween cards lately. I’m super excited how this one turned out and couldn’t wait to share it.

So much cuteness and here’s how I did it:

Started by blending distress inks – I posted the background on Instagram last week after it turned out so well. I did spray it with water for distressing afterward.
Then I stamped, colored and die cut all my kiddos and accessories.
Next, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiments and cut them into thin strips.
Last I popped it all up with foam tape – kiddos and sentiments alike.
For finishing touches I added Wink of Stella glitter pen to the unicorn horn and band on the witch’s hat and scattered gems across the background for some shine.

I love it! I love it! I love it! Don’t you? It’s just so much fun and makes me want to start brainstorming costumes with my daughter.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Rabbit Hole Designs Pretty in Peony Thinking of You Card

Welcome back everyone! I’m over at The Rabbit Hole Designs blog today with this beautiful Pretty in Peony card.

Here’s how I did it:

Stamped, heat embossed, colored and cut my peonies and leaves.
Blended salty ocean distress ink starting in the center of a white panel working my way out.
Working my way up I layered the striped paper, black cardstock and inked white panel. Then adhered the peonies and leaves with glue and foam squares for dimension.
Last I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock and popped it up with a foam strip.
For finishing touches I added a scattering of clear sequins and ice blue stickles dots.

Such a bright cheery card to share with someone. And I can’t get enough of those peonies.

The Rabbit Hole Designs – T-Wreck

Welcome back everyone! I hope you’re having a great day! Today I’m sharing a simple Caffeinated Dino card from The Rabbit Hole Designs with a different take on the repeated stamping background technique.

Here’s how I did it:

Stamped, colored, cut my dino and set him aside.
Stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and cut it into a small rectangle.
For the background, I stamped the sentiment at an angle repeatedly across the teal panel in teal ink for a tone-on-tone look and adhered it to the card front.
Next, I attached the wonky frame to that panel and popped up the dino and sentiment with foam squares.

And voila! This card is all finished in all it’s T-Wrecking glory!

Newton’s Nook – Prickly Before Coffee

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’m currently a little obsessed with this style of card after the Caffeinated Flamingo turned out so well last week. Today I’m sharing a set I got in my recent haul from Newton’s Nook – Cuppa Cactus.

To create both backgrounds, I arranged stamps from the set on a block and stamped them with gray ink all over the card front creating a patterned paper look. I also stamped colored and cut out the cactus images. Here are the rest of the details for each card:

This one has a strip of paper glued to the left side of the card front. Then I layered a white circle on the wood grain circle and stamped the sentiment. I adhered this to the card front and popped up the cactus with foam squares. To finish it off I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in light gold on the circles and in the flower center. I love the darker bold colors of this card. Not my typical color palette but it goes together well.

For this next card I chose lighter colors for a brighter card and made it landscape.

I used some silver washi tape from my stash to line the edge of the teal strip and also inked the edge of the white panel with peacock feathers Distress Ink before stamping my sentiment. I adhered that all to the card front and popped up the cactus with foam squares. For finishing touches I scattered Nuvo Crystal Drops across the card front.

Such a fun pair of cards! I love these images and the sentiments are adorable too! Goodness knows we all need caffeine to survive this thing we call adulting.

These cards were entered on the Caffeine Fueled Paper Play challenge.

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

It’s an Avery Elle Christmas!

I’m over the moon to share this set of Avery Elle Christmas cards with you today. I got so excited when I came up with the design that I immediately stamped three sets, knowing that I couldn’t decide on just one color scheme.

I stamped, colored and die cut the images from Christmas Magic, cut the Chevron Mat for each card and set them all aside to create the backgrounds.

The first two cards have distress inked backgrounds – peacock feathers and mowed lawn to match the elements of the colored images. The third is red glitter paper from my stash.

Then I started layering the pieces together. The teal and red cards have the mat adhered directly to the card front while the green one is popped up with foam tape.

The images for the first two cards are adhered directly to the card front and on the last one they are popped up with foam squares. Each card is essentially the same design with little differences here and there. Each one is also finished off with a combination of glossy accents, Nuvo crystal drops and Stickles on different elements of each card.

I made a point to use all of the sentiments from the stamp set; since there were three, I thought it was perfect!

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

Rabbit Hole Designs Sticky Situation

Thanks for stopping by! I’m over at The Rabbit Hole Designs blog today with this awesome card featuring Inky and one of the new stencils – puzzle box.

Blended distress inks over the stencil and then spritzed it with water.
Added it to a black panel and then a navy blue panel to give it a little frame.

The Rabbit Hole Designs Flamingo Fuel

TGIF everyone!!! Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to share this fun Caffeinated Flamingo from The Rabbit Hole Designs on our way into the weekend!

Here’s how I made it:

I stamped, colored, cut and then set aside my flamingo.
I stamped the flamingo in gray ink all over the card front and then stamped the sentiment on a thin green strip.
I popped the strip and flamingo up with foam squares and finished the card off by scattering pink and green Nuvo Crystal Drops across the card.

I love the design of this card and can really see myself trying it with so many more images. For now though, enjoy your weekend and I hope this flamingo inspires you to fuel up and make the most of it!

The Rabbit Hole Designs August Release Blog Hop – Stencils

Welcome back to The Rabbit Hole Designs hop for the August release – Day 3! Today I’m sharing two cards using one of the new, fabulous stencils – circles and stars! They are 6×6 and are great for so many different techniques. Be sure to hop so you can see them all!

Sassy is back for this card featuring the new circles and stars stencil for it’s background. Here’s how I did it.

I cut an over-sized panel of blue cardstock and taped it to my work surface, then taped the stars and circles stencil on top. Then, I spread a layer of texture paste over the whole thing. Once it dried I cut it down to fit the card front.
I stamped, colored and cut a unicorn, clouds and sentiment from Sassy and set them aside.
I cut 2 cloud borders, one from vellum and one from cardstock and glued them to the stenciled panel. The white clouds are popped up with foam tape.
Next I added the images and finished things off with wink of stella glitter brush pen and a jewel for the “i” in unicorn.

Up close you can see the dimension the texture paste gives. It’s a fun and different way to use stencils and you can color it too! Endless possibilities.

Next up are the pups from the July release in Doggone and some ink blending with the new stencil.

Here’s how I did this one.

Stamped, colored and cut the pups and set them aside.
Ink blended distress inks for a rainbow effect on the card front.
Cut a frame and glued a piece of woodgrain paper for a floor. This is glued directly to the card front.
The pups and sentiment are popped up with foam squares and I finished it off with glossy accents on the dog noses.

I’m just starting to up my stencil game and can’t wait to try other techniques and the other designs.

The Rabbit Hole Designs August Release Blog Hop – Inky

Welcome back to The Rabbit Hole Designs hop for the August release – Day 2! Today I’m sharing two cards with the new set called Inky! I love making under water cards so this set was right up my alley!

I’ve been wanting to make one of those really long cards that are so popular and this set seemed like the perfect opportunity. Here’s how I did it.

Stamped, colored and cut all 3 octopi from Inky and the fish from Mermaid Hair and set them aside.
Ink blended a panel for the front of the card, cut a wave border from the top and glued it to the card front.
Next I adhered the fish to the water panel and popped the octopi up with foam squares.
Last, I stamped the sentiment and cut a flag notch, then popped it up as well.

After that busy card I thought I would try my hand at a more clean and simple design being sure to use the ink splatter because I thought they were funny.

Here’s how I did this one:

Stamped, colored and cut the octopus and set him aside.
Die cut the grid frame 4 times and glued them together. I took one set of the negative inserts and colored them with copics.
I glued the frame and inserts to a white panel where I stamped the ink blot and sentiment in black. Then I glued the octopus to the grid frame.

I just love this stamp set. It’s got great punny sentiments and awesome images that I can’t wait to use!
