Freshly Made Sketches 273

Hello! I am playing along today with Freshly Made Sketches 273! I Made a trip to my favorite craft store today and found the cutest paper! It worked perfectly for this sketch!

The paper is from Doodlebug Designs. They have some of the cutest papers!

Of course I used my well loved coffee cup die from Lil Inker Designs.  Words are from Lil Inker Designs as well. The rectangle dies are from Lawn Fawn.

Here is a close up shot.

A fun quick card to make! See you next time!

Tag You're It Challenge 64

Hello and welcome! Today I am playing along with the Tag You're It Challenge 64. The inspiration tag for this challenge was so inspiring, I made 2 tags! The inspiration tag is just adorable! Take a look:

My first tag, I made with a valentine theme. I seem to be on a valentine's kick this weekend if you look at the previous cards I posted! I drew my inspiration from the tag to use the colors red and white. 

Here is my first tag:

The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp - one of my favorite tag dies I have. The small hearts are a Sizzix die cut. 

Please see my next post for tag # 2

Thanks for stopping by today! I'd love it if you left me a comment!

Case this sketch # 168

Here is my entry for Case This Sketch challenge # 168.

For my card I used die cuts from Lil Inker Designs. Word bubbles and Stitched Mats. The word stamps are also from Lil Inker Designs.

I had this yearning to use kraft paper today. I really like how it goes with the olive color!
Sequins give just the right amount of bling to this card. They are quickly becoming my favorite embelishment!

Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. Thanks for checking out my blog today! I'd love it if you left me a comment! See you next time!

Ode to Caribou Coffee - featuring Lil Inker Designs

This card was featured on Lil Inker Designs You Made it Monday!

(blog post previously published on 2/13/16, on Barb's Best Creations blog)

Hello there! I am back with a cute card I made with my newest die set from Lil Inker Designs! They updated their Coffee Cozy Die set and I just had to add it to my collection! 

I love my Caribou Coffee!

Here is my card:

I am all about anything that has stitching on it! When I saw Lil Inkers updated this set with stitching on the cozy, score lines on the lid (that adds such dimension!) and also the adorable steam, I had to have this set! 

I took a real Caribou coffee cozy and used the die cut to cut out the Caribou logo. The large heart is a Memory Box die, the small hearts and the stitched mats are Lil Inkers.  Paper is from Stampin' up. Words are from Lil Inker Designs Coffee talk stamp set.

Life is short - stay awake for it! Thank for visiting today!

See you next time!
