Smell the Coffee....


Hello sweet Evelin T. Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card created using Evelin T. Designs: Coffee Loving Critters and Evergreen Foliage stamp sets

I used a stencil and Ranger oxide inks to create this fun background. You can really use any stencil you like to create a colorful filled background. 


I stamped out these lovely leaves on some colorful card-stock. I fussy cut them and added them to my card using foam adhesives to give it a little dimension. Next I stamped this adorable cat drinking coffee and colored with Copic sketch markers. Finishing up with stamping the sentiment and cutting in half so I can add it on both sides of the image. 

I added some Copic opaque, just because I love how it highlights the background a bit more. 

That is all for today. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Evelin T. Designs stamping.

Wishing...


Hello Evelin T. Design Friends... Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card created using the very cute Sneaky Kitties stamp set

This set is so fun to color. I used Copic sketch markers and added a little white gel pen here and there. 


I love beach themed cards so I thought this was perfect for created such a card. It reminds me of Hawaii with all the leaves and then I used this fun die to add the palm trees. I fussy cut around the image to give it some dimension. 

The background was created using Ranger oxide inks and a splashed a little water to get the texture. Finishing up with stamping this fun sentiment. 

That is all for today.

Reading Love...


Happy March everyone... Annette Allen here with you today to share a little reading love. 

Today I am sharing a card I created using Evelin T. Designs: Alpha Blocks and Reading Buddies


I love how fun these stamps are to mix together. These Block Letters go perfect with this Reading Buddies set. Reading... letters... right? I was going to color the letters but ending up leaving them just because it really did remind me of reading. It's like when you open a book and see all the words on white backing. 

I also wanted to have one of the cute critters so I colored these adorable bear with Copic Sketch makers and added him to my card using Scotch foam adhesives to give him some dimension. Finishing up with stamping this fun sentiment. 



Totally simple card to recreate with just a hint of coloring. I went with easter colors. I know it is not until April but I am in just that kind of mood. You could go wild with color on this card. Give it a try with any of Evelin T. Designs Stamps... Make sure to share them on social media and tag #evelintdesigns so we can see them.

Thanks for stopping by.
Have an awesome day!

Coffee Love...


Happy Hello Evelin T. Design friends... Annette Allen here with you today and I am getting crafty with Evelin T. Designs: Coffee Art, Coffee Loving Critters and Warm Winter Wishes stamp set. Mixing it all up today. 

I am sharing two cards today, so lets get started.


This first card was created using the Coffee Art stamp set.

I created a colorful background using Altenew: Classy Stripes stencil and Amy Tangerine Actetate. I used Ranger Oxide inks: Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac. This fun image is colored with Copic sketch markers. I used some silver glitter paper to give it a little shine.

I used Scotch foam tape to give the image some dimension. I always like my cards to have a little pop. Foam tape is just fun.... don't you think?


This next card was created using the Coffee Loving Critters and Warm Winter Wishes stamp sets

The background was created using the same stencil and Ranger Oxide inks: Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio Picked Raspberry and Tumbled Glass. I went with a simple background but really oh so fun. I love stripes and well with all this color it is right up my alley.

The images are all colored with Copic Sketch markers and added to the card using Scotch foam adhesives.  More dimension....


You can get all these fun stamp sets on the Evelin T. Designs website HERE, plus much much more. AND more to come. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Don't you just love when you start to create a card and well you have more then one idea so you just go with it. So today I am sharing two cards just because these ice skaters are just too cute and fun to create with.

I stenciled the background and layered it with a sunburst die. The image is colored with Copic sketch markers. The image just comes to life with color... don't you think?


I used some winter themed dies to create these fun backgrounds for these adorable ice skaters. Minimal coloring and and finishing up with stamping these fun sentiments. I added some dimension to the image and the sentiment using foam adhesives.

Christmas Fun...


Happy Hello Evelin T. Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card I created using Warm Winter Wishes, All is Calm and Good Tidings to You stamp sets. Today I am mixing up all these fun stamps and they go so perfectly together. 


I colored these sweet images with Copic Sketch makers. The background was created using Ranger Oxide inks. But first I die cut a fun Christmas tree on masking tape. I wanted the tree to be bright in the background. 

I sprinkled a little green ink and water just on the tree and on the entire card I used Copic opaque. 


Some of the images I gave dimension and the rest I just glued directly onto my card base. Finishing up with stamping the sentiment. 

Another simple but fun card to create. yay for cute images... right?

Season Greetings...


Welcome Evelin T. Designs friends... Annette Allen here with you today. I created a snow filled card for you today and I created it using Evelin T. Designs: Warm Winter Wishes, Fun In The Snow and Good Tidings to You stamp sets. 


All of these sets mix so well together. That is why you need them ALL. 


I created a Ranger Alcohol ink background. You might say that does not look like alcohol ink well it is I just used water with it to get this softer look. Takes a while to dry but so worth it. 

The images are colored with Copic Sketch markers and I fussy cut around them. If you look closely I used a star embossing folder. 


I used some of the fake snow that you can find at most craft stores. These little critters are having fun in the snow. It really does not shake like a shaker card but the snow is staying right where I want it too. Yay for Christmas/Winter cards... Right?

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great day!

Halloween Cuteness....


Happy Day Evelin T. Design friends... Annette Allen here with you today to share a little spooky but super fun cards.

Today I am creating with Evelin T. Designs: All Hallow's Cuteness, It's Boo-Tastic and Alpha Blocks stamp sets. I used two of the sets to create this first card,  It's Boo-Tastic and Alpha Blocks


The Alpha Blocks stamp set is great to use on any card. Just make your own sentiment and color whatever color you like. It is almost Halloween so I created this Happy Halloween card. Not spooky at all just cuteness with this adorable images... right?




I created a simple watercolor background and colored the images with Copic sketch markers. I also thought it would be cute to add some more stars so I used some Teeny Star dies. The stamp set does come with some stars too if you don't have a die of stars. I wanted to use glitter paper that is why I went with the die. 

You can buy all three of these sets at Evelin T. Designs.


Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great day!

Spooky and Sweet...


Happy Hello everyone... Annette Allen here with you today to share two fun card I created using the newly released Evelin T. Designs: Good Tidings To You, All Is Calm and All Hallows Cuteness.


Are you saying yes right now? The new release is full of cuteness. 
You can see all the new release HERE.

The first card I created I used Evelin T. Designs: Good Tidings To You, All Is Calm


I colored these sweet images using Copic Sketch markers. At first I was going for an inside themed card and then I remembered this cute snowman and well that changed it all for me. I went with an outside scene and this cute snowman peeking up behind just makes me smile. 

I used a die cut for the background. I wanted a snowfall look and polka dots totally worked for me. I used foam adhesives to give my colored images some dimension. I also added a little white gel pen polka dots and strips here and there. 


Next up I created this card using Evelin T. Designs: All Hallows Cuteness. I mean come on I am so in love with this set. Totally fun to color.


I used an embossing die for the background and added some Ranger Oxide ink for a bold fun background. I splashed some Copic opaque, water and black soot oxide ink on the background. The images are all colored with Copic Sketch markers and I adhered them to the card using foam adhesive. 

That is all for today.

I hope you enjoyed both cards today. I love this time of year when I get to make Christmas and Halloween cards. Make sure to shop the new release HERE.

Have a great day!

Two Simple Cards...


Well happy hello Evelin T. Designs friends.... Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing two cards created using Evergreen Foliage and Alpha Blocks.


This first card was created using Evergreen Foliage. I created a simple watercolor background and stamped these pretty images and sentiment on the background after it dried completely. I added a bit of white opaque to the little leaves. I wanted them to really shine on the card. 



Next up I created a card using Alpha Blocks. I love this fun set because you can create any greeting, sentiment that you want. I first used a misc. stencil and Ranger Oxide inks to create a colorful background. I added some NUVO Blue Topaz Glimmer Paste on top of the stenciled background. 



I stamped all the letters to create HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY and cut with my Brother Scan n Cut machine. Next I added some foam adhesives to the back to give each letter some dimension. 

Two simple cards and totally fun to create.

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a blessed day!
