Life is Better...

 Hello, 

Life is better with a dog.  I can't imagine not having our puppies (picture below).  So when I saw this stamp, I couldn't wait to use it.  I used my tombow markers to color directly on the stamp, so I could get multiple colors.   I stamped on top of the artistic swipe stamp because I thought it looked like dog slobber.  What do you think?

Coffee Birthstone

 Hi Junkies!

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I live with some serious coffee addicts. They get seriously grouchy when we are out of coffee beans or half and half. This sentiment is perfect for them. The expression on the cat's face is perfect. I colored up the kitty with copic markers (you can find the color list at the bottom of post).

Happy Crafting,

Chris

It's a coffee bean

Good day! Just so everyone knows, I DO think my birthstone is a coffee bean. I don't need to eat first thing in the morning, but I DO need coffee....fresh ground is the best!

For this creation, I used 3 February releases Pearls, Birthstone and Morning Joe. I put my Pearls stamp in the Misti and inked it up with Bermuda Bay and Coffee and then spritzed with water before stamping for the watercolor look. The sentiment was stamped in brown and punched out with an oval punch and on foam tape. I used a button for the first time in a loooong time! 

The releases this month are so awesome. Go grab yourself some and use my code TJ10Pam here.

Cheers!

 

All about Cats !!!

  MEOW

Some great new 'cat' stamps were released this

month at Technique Junkies.

This first card using the new Curly-Tailed cats background stamp

and All These Cats saying. I masked off the top of the cat saying for the top portion of the card.

On the inside I used a previously released stamp ( You're Purrfect #SDX219)

So on playing around with the Curly tail stamp I made a few bookmarks for my cat crazy friends 

This card I masked off the bottom part of the 'all these cats' saying

Then on the inside put the rest of the saying in ...
