Donut Worry – Coffee Helps

Welcome back!  I needed a card to pick up my Sister-in-law’s spirits and I wanted to work it into the Coffee Blog Hop, so here is what I created…

Donut Worry – Coffee Helps Card

I used several of my coffee sets for this one.  The background on the base is repeat random stamping utilizing stamps from Your Next Stamp – Coffee Rings and Newton’s Nook – Falling for You.  I stamped the images in CTMH Champagne ink.  The large coffee cup and donut were from Close To My Heart – Treats of Friendship.

Close up of Glazed Donut

My chocolate glazed donut was colored with alcohol markers, then I added the sprinkles using Nuvo Pearl Drops in pink and white.  Once those dried, I put a thick layer of Glossy Accents over the glaze and voila!

I mounted the cup and donut onto a small piece of patterned paper from the Crazy for Coffee collection from Your Next Stamp and popped it up with foam tape.  I spelled out “DONUT WORRY” using letters from an Authentique collection in my stash and mounted all of this onto a white card base.

The inside was stamped with “COFFEE HELPS” using my Honey Bee Stamps Blaa Blaa Blaa set.

I hope you have time to hop on over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop to get some inspiration and perhaps you can play along too!

Perk Up, It’s Your Birthday!

Hi all, I have been eagerly awaiting the next Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop and it is HERE!!!  Woohoo!  Today I made a birthday card for one of my dear friends, and I thought she would love the pun.

Perk Up Card

I started with Your Next Stamp Crazy for Coffee patterned paper mounted on black cardstock, placed on a white card base.  Next I die cut Sunny Studios Fancy Frames Square dies, and placed the outside scallop on the bottom with the coffee cup (info on that to follow) and the inside scallop frame around the Perk Up sentiment that I white heat embossed.  That sentiment came from an A-Muse coffee themed stamp set.

The coffee mug was a Peel & Stick outline sticker from Elizabeth Craft Designs and put it onto Elizabeth Craft Designs Microfine glitter paper and colored it in using alcohol markers.  I fussy cut it out and popped it up with the frame.

The inside teacup and teapot border was a die from Your Next Stamp.  I won both the patterned paper and that fabulous die (along with other great goodies) from them at the last coffee blog hop!!!  The Sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps (2 different sets), I like to mix it up, obviously!

I hope you enjoyed todays post and hop on over to Coffee Loving Cardmakers for a TON of caffeinated inspiration!  Please follow our blog by clicking on the “Follow Me” button and Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss a thing.  Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Greetings for a Coffee Friend

Autumn greetings to you!  Today I made a card for a thoughtful neighbor and dear friend.  She not only treated me to a lovely afternoon coffee at our local coffee shop but she also treated my family to her pumpkin bread, which is TO DIE FOR!  I thought it would be the perfect card to link up to the super fun Coffee Lover’s Bloghop for fall.  #fall2017clh

 

As you can see I used Newton’s Nook stamps from two separate sets and stamped them with Ranger Archival Black ink onto water color paper.  I used my Distress Markers to watercolor the images.  I added a few Nuvo Pearl drops and mounted the watercolor panel onto two layers of Bazzill cardstock in two shades of brown, added some Maya Road self adhesive lace ribbon.  I added a mat of Your Next Stamp Crazy For Coffee paper to a Bazzill card base, then I popped the watercolor layers up onto the card with foam tape and called it done!

Hi, I hope everyone is having a Grrreat day!  My project today features the Wild About Pumpkin Spice Latte digi set from Sunsational Stamps that you can access Here.

Wild About Pumpkin Spice Latte card

I colored this adorable tiger and his pumpkin spice latte with Copic markers.  The background was made by sponging on my two go-to Distress Oxide colors, Broken China and Cracked Pistachio.  I then spritzed it with some Perfect Pearls mist.  (Side note:  I accidentally spritzed EVERYTHING on my work surface EXCEPT the background when my nozzle got turned around, sigh…)  Anyway, back  to the project… I added some Doodlebug Fall Leaves Washi tape to the bottom to ground my little tiger and mounted this onto a black mat, that then was mounted onto a piece of Doodlebug Kraft/color cardstock and then the whole shebang was mounted onto the flip side of the Doodlebug kraft/color cardstock and added to the card base.  Finally I popped my critter onto the shimmery background, added the sentiment and voila!

Trick or Treat Card

I stamped out the adorable ghost and put a happy face on him.  I stamped both pumpkins, one of them twice onto Doodlebug Halloween patterned paper and colored the stems and leaves with alcohol markers.  I added green wire to the tops of two of the pumpkins that I curled around a thin paintbrush handle to make the spindly vines on a pumpkin.  I added a mat of purple patterned Halloween paper that was also from that Doodlebug collection onto the black card base.  I cut three fence pieces to simulate a spooky grave yard using my Cricut.  The ‘Trick or Treat’ was white heat embossed onto a piece of black die cut cardstock I had in my stash.  Finally I added the cute little bats to the title.

Coffee Helps

Alcohol Marker, Bazzill, Close To My Heart, CTMH, Elizabeth Craft Designs, Honey Bee Stamps, Taylored Expressions

Greetings, today I created another card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop.

Coffee Helps Card

The first step in making this card was creating the background paper.  I used Raisin Boat’s Need for Tweed background stamp and stamped it in Pear ink from Close To My Heart onto light green Bazzill cardstock.  Next I stamped and colored the adorable stack of cups from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Tea Time stamp set.  I colored them with alcohol markers and used the matching die to cut it out.  The framework was die cut from Bazzill cardstock and I have to apologize, as I am not sure exactly who makes the wonky frames…it could be Taylored Expressions or Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I put my dies on magnetic sheets and organize them by subject and I throw the packaging away. 😦

I used a sentiment from the new Honey Bee Stamps Blaa Blaa Blaa set, heat embossed it and layered it onto the card.  Finally added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bubblegum and called it done!

Good Morning!  Today is a great day to grab a cup of joe and take a look at all the coffee inspiration my fellow crafty bloggers have to offer.  We are honored to be a part of the Sunsational Stamps Super Sponsoring of www.coffeelovingcardmakers.com Coffee Lovers Blog hop!

I am so excited to be part of this fabulous blog hop!  I am a huge fan of coffee and coffee related things…cups, pots, donuts, the whole shebang.  I went with a puny card today, another fave of mine.  I wanted to make a card that encouraged individuality.

I used the iconic carry out coffee cup from Sunsational Stamps Love You Latte and printed it several times.  I colored them with Copic markers, making one of them different as you can see!  I printed a second set so I could pop up the lids to give it added dimension.  The cup sleeves were cut from some decorative corrugated paper I had on hand.

I made the sentiment using a retired Close To My Heart alpha set called Hopscotch.  I drew in the giant coffee bean to make the ‘O’ in Espresso.  I used one of the dies in Elizabeth Craft Designs Bead Strings 2 to create the page division.  I cut it from a piece of cardstock that I had blended Distress inks in Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover and Wilted Violet.  I topped off each “bead” center with ECD Peel-off Gems, because…well, you gotta have some bling!

Thank you for hopping by today, and I hope you enjoy the remaining stops on our hop.  You can link back to Sunsational Stamps Blog or Coffee Loving Card Makers Blog

Sunsational stamps is offering a $25 dollars Digital Image Certificates and two flash prizes of $15 & $10 Digital Image Gift Certificates, so please do participate in the blog hop to be eligible to win some exciting prizes.

For my project I used these three new adorable stamp/image sets in my layout, they are Santa’s List, Believe In Me and Elves Loading Sleigh.  These and hundreds more adorable images can be found by following this link to our store Sunsational Stamp Shop

I created this Layout Believe In Me.

Believe In Me Layout

I just love the spirit of Christmas and believing in Santa symbolically is so important.  I think the world can always use a little bit of holiday magic, so I tried to convey that in my layout.  I am planning on framing this in a shadowbox for display on the mantel.

To create my layout I colored all the images with my Copic and ShinHan alcohol markers then I fussy cut them out.  I cut snowdrifts and used Glossy Accents and WOW glitter to accentuate the drifts.  Next I popped them up with foam tape to give the scene dimension.  I spattered Picket Fence distress paint on the night blue background to simulate snow.  I constructed a North Pole sign with some Little B washi tape and some alpha stickers from my stash.  Finally I added some glittery snowflakes and voila, it is a very busy Santa & Company finishing up with the last-minute details.
