Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / October 2025

It's finally Fall - which means chilly temps, sweater weather AND things that go bump in the night !! Celeste and I decided to go with the fun, spooky time of year that October brings and celebrate Halloween .



I finally pulled out the Colorado Craft Company stamp set - Trick or Treating Cats. This set is no longer available, but they have many other fantastic Halloween designs. 


  • I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock .
  • The image was colored with my COPICS .
  • A Big and Little Chain Rectangle die was used to die-cut the stamped image .
  • I adhered a piece of patterned paper in Autumn colors to a dark grey card base.
  • Turquoise glitter was placed on the frilly border of the skirt.

I'm hoping we get lots of trick-or-treaters this year. A family down the street from us always coordinates their costumes. One year they were all Star Wars characters - with Baby Yoda being pushed in a stroller . It was so cute !!!  I'm drinking some Apple Cider Donut coffee from a cup given to me by a friend. The coffee definitely is delicious on a chilly Autumn morning ..


Take a look at Celeste's Halloween card over at her blog - Crafting Junky . I know she has created something fabulous! We will be back next month with more Coffee & Cards. Until then, stay creative AND always drink good coffee ..

He Made It / She Made It - October 2025

I have had so much fun making cards with the Freshly Boo'd Collection by Mandy Ford Art & Illustration . So much fun that I challenged Michael Trent to another "He Made It / She Made It" post using Mandy Ford supplies !! I really can't wait to see what he comes up with . 



For these cards and tags, I printed  papers and different elements ( cups, borders, stars, tags, etc. ) from the Freshly Boo'd collection . There are 5 patterned papers and 4 sheets of printable elements included . I don't have a list of step-by-step instructions  because these cards are so quick and easy !! Print the papers and elements. Cut some elements out,  adhere the patterned paper to card bases and play !!! 







My last card was made with a Mandy Ford free printable . The ghostly pics look like old Polaroids. I printed some of the pics and added some felt pumpkin stickers. I then adhered the pics to card bases. There are 14 different ghost images in that freebie collection  . There are many other freebies available at Mandy Ford Art & Illustration . She also has an Etsy shop .



Thank you for stopping by .
Please check out what Michael created @ World of Michael Trent
Until next time, stay creative ..

World Card Making Day / October 2025

I'm excited to be celebrating World Card Making Day with a fabulous Etsy shop - KCS Designs . I recently joined their Design Team and wanted to show you some of their amazing digital products. They are having a 50% off sale through 10/5, so be sure to check out them out.



For my first cards, I just had to use their Book Haven Journal papers. You all know by now that 2 of my loves are books and coffee. These papers are so beautiful and I had fun creating these cards .


  • I printed the Fall Book Haven image to fit on my A2 card bases.
  • I adhered the images to a white card base and a brown card base.
  • Rhinestones were adhered to the images.
  • The sentiment is from the Dare 2B Artzy "Cozy Holidays" stamp set .
  • I used Ranger Espresso ink for the sentiment and die cut it with a Stampendous die .
  • The sentiment was popped up at the bottom of the card with foam tabs

My next cards were created using the Vintage Newspaper Floral Journal papers. This paper prints so beautifully that I hated to even cover any of it up!! But the gorgeous design shows through in my background on these cards .



  • I printed 2 designs from the Vintage Newspaper Floral papers and adhered them to the front of 2 white card bases.
  • The central image  on each card was cut from a 12x12 piece of paper from the Echo Park Paper Co . "Happy Crafting " collection . I used foam tabs for added dimension .
  • I adhered stickers from the same collection to the top and bottom of both cards . 
Thank you so much for stopping by to see what I've created to celebrate one of my favorite days .. And now that I am retired, I can celebrate by making cards any time I want !! Shout out to Kim Sheen of KCS Designs for inviting me to be a part of the team . Be sure to check out the cards made by the other Design Team members. Links are below.
