Mini Dunkin Donut Cups




Did you know that I also have mini Dunkin Donut 
cups in my shop?
So many of you reached out on the east coast saying, 
Starbuck's is okay, but we LOVE Dunkin!
With lots of requests I finally have been offering
the mini cups in my shop and they are just as cute and popular.


As you know I also love receiving messages and pics
on how you are using these cuties.
Liz over at lizzandco.blogspot.com sent me these
photo from her recent Dunkin Donut birthday bash.
So creativity clever!



How colorful is this!
She has the little cups tucked all over the table
and doesn't miss any details.....
So adorable Liz!

The Salt River




Hello from sunny/hot Arizona!
We are down visiting family for the Easter week and have been having a fun time adventuring.
We set up a kayak tour with REI on the Salt River in hopes of seeing lots of wildlife and wild horses.


We were lucky enough to see plenty of birds and otters but no horses. We could hear them in the brush but they did not make their debut.
The float in double kayaks was about two hours in length and the weather was perfect!


My sister and I 


Shae and Dan 


My nephew and his girlfriend 
who both row for crew teams


These gorgeous views

Lake Pleasant


More adventuring around Phoenix,
Another fun adventure you can take in is at Lake Pleasant where you can rent pontoon boats for a full/half day.
You can also get tubes to use or wake boards.
We obtrd for the tubes and boy do these pontoon boats go fast! 


Shelby and Turner 

Shae and her cousin 


The pontoons are covered in the back and seat up to 14 people. You can rent them for a half day or full and have up to 14 people on their.
The price was $440.00 and we split this between three families that went with us.


Plenty of room for everyone!


Everyone is a chillin! 
Great way to beat the heat out on the lake with temps this week being in the upper 90’s it was a great way to cool off!

Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin


Sharing with you today the stamp set from the Paper Pumpkin 
Beyond the Horizon.  It's a two step floral set, meaning you stamp the first shadowed part of the set then stamp on top of that the line art part of the image.  


 I used Calypso Coral and Soft Succulent ink pad to stamp
the images. The cardstock is also the same colors. 
The center piece is leftover from a past Paper Pumpkin
as well as the ribbon.
You know what I always say.....
Use what you've got~~~!!


Loving this color combo~

This is the mini starbuck's cups. 
Here are a bunch of pictures sent to me by YOU
showing me all the great ways you use these cups,

This customer sent the cutest picture of her kid's play
house complete with a coffee station.  See the little mini
cups on the ledge and the coffee maker inside?
How adorable!


And another Mama made a playhouse with the cups and treats and
cute little signs inside this playhouse. 


Another BIG way the mini coffee cups are being used

More Flowering Rain Boots


Are you getting tired of this stamp set yet?
I couldn't resist using the background paper 
again from the Paper Pumpkin last month.
I love how it is lightly fades out to the corners. 


Since the background is already done for you,
just stamp the watering can, the leaves and tulips.


You can see I have used dimensionals to pop up
the watering can, leaves and tulips. 
That's it!
This is a super easy fun card for you to try!
In case you missed it, here is the stamp set.
You can get the stamp set by itself or bundle it with framelits 
so you can easily cut out each piece you have stamped.

Beyond the Horizon: Paper Pumpkin March 2022

                     

Hi friends!  check out this unboxing video to see what's included and how easy it is to put this kit together!  You're going to marvel at the watercolor designs of this past month's kit.  



You can see in this kit all the neat little pieces that are included to build upon your card.  It's fun to "step" it up with added embellishments, but with these gorgeous watercolored paper
it needs nothing but the original look to the card.
Well, that's my pinion anyway!


All I have done to any of the cards is stamp a saying
on the front and inside, that's it!
I mean come on!  these are beauts without any added
touches to them. 
What do you think?





Have you signed up for Paper Pumpkin to try it?
I know you won't be disappointed and if you need
help or have any questions you can email me at any time. 
Otherwise you can go 
HERE to sign up for one month or more! You pick!
you won't be disappointed it!
And if for any reason you choose not to continue on
you can cancel at any time!
What a deal!

Flowering Rain Boots


Are you tired of this stamp set yet?
These rain boots are too cute!


The background paper on this card is from this
month's paper pumpkin. 
Just stamp the rain boots in Crushed Curry ink color,
and the flowers.  Cut both out and use stampin dimensionals
to pop them up on the card. 


I always hang onto any extra pieces from past Paper
Pumpkin's, the center of the flowers have yellow enamel dots
that are self adhesive. 
Now I hope you're enjoying these cards as there might be more to come!!

Flowering Rain Boots



Here we go with another spring stunner!
The background to the card stock is paper
from the new Paper Pumpkin which I will be posting
in a few days.


The background paper is called "In Good Taste"
It's very realistic looking "spackle" effect. 
I stamped the watering can, the leaves,
and tulips all separately then fussy cut 
them out to be popped up on the card. 



To shade the bottom of the watering can use
a blending pen or a aqua painter to apply the ink,
I used Crumb Cake.

Flowering Rain Boots


Happy monday!
Spring is in the air which means lots of tulips in the Pacific Northwest.
This new stamp set is all about spring with its cute rubber boots, flower pots and tulips. 


I stamped the boots and some flowers first
with granite gray, then the flower pots I stamped
separately and glued the one in the back straight onto
the cardstock, the second pot is popped up with the tulips
for dimensions. 



How cute is this set?
