My name is Cindy.  I love playing with paper and drinking lots of coffee!

Crafting is a time where I can use my imagination and just have fun.  Often times, I make a cup of coffee and head to my craftroom to enjoy the creative process.  I am not a planner when it comes to crafting.  It's a bit hard to describe but my creative process  is more of a feeling.  I start with something simple, like a piece of paper, stamp or even a color; and it goes from there. 


My creative journey has evolved from scrapbook layouts to mixed media projects to card making.  I look forward to sharing my crafts with you all!


Happy Crafting!

Just a little coffee

I know summer is approaching but my favorite season is fall. I love the cool breeze and leaves changing colors.  I pulled the Brystl Girl Unity stamp and used copics to color her using shades from the Unity floral pattern paper as inspiration.  The glitter on the dark blue backgroun was added using sticky embossing powder.  I always feel like anything is possible, especially after drinking some coffee 😉

Growing in Unity - Day 4 - Red, White and Blue Glittery fun

Today is all about a Red, White and Blue color challenge and getting messy with glitter!  The Unity America Girl set is the stamp set for this challenge. I stamp the girl on Strathmore colored pencil paper and pulled out my Prismacolor pencils. For the colors, I wanted the outfit to be mainly blue and red with a touch of gold.  For the skintone, I chose a light beige color and a darker brown for the hair. I started with the dark blue pencil, adding it heavily as I will use the gamsol to blend it out. Once I'm done withe blue parts, it's time to add red. The gold, light, and dark brown color pencils were added the same way and used gamsol to blend it out the colors.  For her shorts, I added a touch of Clear Wink of Stella.  Now to work on the background,  I wanted a glittery background and found these large sequins in my stash.  I add double sided tape to white cardstock, placed a few large square sequins first then added the small square both in a random pattern.  The final st

Growing in Unity 2020 - Day 2 - Clean and Simple

My next card is my verison of a clean and simple card using two different stamp sets.  It is very hard for me to do clean and simple cards but here I go.... The floral is from the Unity Another Name for Love  set and the sentiment is from the Unity July 2020 Uniquely Unity kit You Grow Girl . I started by die cutting the gray cardstock using Gina Marie Double Rope rectangle die and the yellow cardstock using Kat Scrappiness Stitiched Scalloped rectangle die.  These dies add visual interest while allowing the stamp image to remain the focal image.  I stamped the Unity floral image ( Another Name from Love ) using vermark ink and embossed with Ranger gold embossing powder for the gray cardstock and WOW white embossing powder for the yellow cardstock. To add more depth and to make the embossing pop, I pulled out my distressed inks and a blender brush to add a little color to card front.  Now to add the sentiment, vellum will give a soft look (backed with white cardstock).  I heat embosse
