You're So Sweet as Pie with Heffy Doodle

It's almost time to eat pumpkin pie exclusively for dessert every. single day. Or is that just me? 😅 I wanted to make an emboss resist background with these adorable pie stamps that are currently a FREEBIE set from Heffy Doodle! I used Distress Oxides to create my pumpkin pie inspired background and you can see how I colored on my Instagram Reels down below.

I am just loving these jumbo sentiments to make a quick and easy card, too. After creating such a pretty background, I love being able to add the large "you're so sweet" to keep the background the more intricate part of the card.

You can see how my card comes together down below on my Instagram or you can also find it on TikTok! Let me know in the comments - do you love pumpkin pie? What's your favorite pie?

Perfect Blend Coloring Guide + Warm Hugs Card with Heffy Doodle

Are you loving the new Heffy Doodle release? I'd love to know if you preordered anything - let me know in the comments! This month I decided to do some still life coloring instead of critters... The Perfect Blend stamp set has some great mugs and different ways to add elements to your hot drinks.

I have my tips on. how to add a drink to your empty mugs, coloring mugs in rich tones (like purple and dark green), two different "Starbucks" style cup colors and of course lots of little toppings. I did the tea bag, whipped cream, peppermint candy cane and a cinnamon stick. I have a lot more going on on these guides, so I hope my coloring guides are not too confusing this month!

I thought it would be fun to share how. you can make coffee or hot chocolate, tea and of course my go to colors for a pumpkin spice latte! You can watch my Color & Chat video down below where I show my steps of coloring using my own guides and this month I even remembered to show how I store my guides!

Let me know in the comments which is your favorite drink I've colored - or maybe just your favorite warm beverage to drink! Plus, don't forget to let me know what images you'd like to see in the future for this series.

Believe in Me with Heffy Doodle

I want to believe! I finally got my project for the last Craft Roulette done... I have been cranking out Heffy Doodle projects for the new release and I almost didn't get a project done to meet the deadline. Since Heffy Doodle is the Spin Sponsor for September, I wanted to make sure to use Heffy Doodle projects to be shown in the project submittal recap.

I used some Paper Glaze with a stencil for my background and then used the requirements from Craft Roulette for the rest of my card. This week, it was (1) a card with pattern paper; (2) winter colors; (3) element of pretend; and (4) paper strips. I used patterned paper strips for my card along with pretending an alien landed on the moon! I used cool colors as they remind me of winter - green, blue and purple - including neutrals.

Do you think I met the requirements this week? You can see how this card came together in a video on Instagram down below, or you can find it on TikTok, too!

Pre-Order the New Heffy Doodle Release + Halloween Shaker Card

It's finally time to get your pre-order for the new Heffy Doodle Release! I just love the new Halloween products and since it's the last day of the month... You know I gotta make another Halloween project to share with you today. (I know, I know... I promise to share some non-Halloween ideas with the new release...)

I've combined my two favorite new stamp sets from the release with new essential goodies! I just love the colors in the Fright Night Paper Pad and Enamel Dots. They coordinate so well with the Hocus Pocus Sparkle Mix, too! Heffy Doodle also released a new shadow die for Halloween and I'm using the new Cathedral Window Dies to create my shaker window. The spider web fits perfectly at the top in my background, don't you think?

NEW Colorista Markers from Spectrum Noir + Inspiration with Scrapbook.com Products!

I have been really working on improving my coloring over the last couple of years and have been using Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. I love my markers! So when Scrapbook.com asked if I would like to try out some of the new markers that will be releasing called Colorista, I jumped at the opportunity!

SBC graciously gave me so many different types of makers to try - from paint to metallic, alcohol to watercolor. I have VERY long video today sharing my unboxing and first reactions to the markers. I'm swatching all of them out and giving my opinion on them (solely my opinion, not based on SBC or Spectrum Noir) as well as showing my coloring to create two card samples with a couple of thew markers!

These markers are excluding to SBC for a limited time, so head over to Scrapbook.com and check out all of the new Colorista products! I will definitely have more inspiration to share with you using these new products in the next month - I am going to figure out a fun way to incorporate all of the markers like the Metallic and Glitter Markers!
