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!

Hello, today I created a wedding card for a friend/customer who needed a wedding card in grays and pearl white.  I had a copy of the invitation, so I incorporated some elements from it into the card.

Wedding Card

I used one of my new Elizabeth Craft Designs dies and peel off gems.  I used various flower dies and cut a combination of large and small flowers using Bazzill silver cardstock, vellum that has a beautiful tiny floral white on white pattern and a pearly embossed cardstock.  I mixed and matched them and used little brads to hold the pieces together.  I cut the leaves out of the silver cardstock using a Sizzix die I got on clearance for $1 🙂  Can you say “Awesomesauce”?!

Elements of the Wedding Card

The card base is medium gray American Crafts heavyweight cardstock, and the patterned paper on the base is Carta Bella from the Paris Girl line…not sure if that is retired or not, I have had it for a while, and I LOVE every pattern in this collection, so I use it sparingly.  Needless to say, I am quite frugal with my supplies.

I did mat the patterned paper with black cardstock before mounting it on the card base. Finally I stamped a piece of the pearlized paper (which was also used for the ECD Entwined Circles) with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions, Lifetime of Love set.  I scored this adorable set for just $5.  I think it is still for sale on Taylor’s website for that price.  I cut the monogram out with Kwik Kutz Eliza letter set that my wonderful daughter got me (brand new) from a garage sale.  This episode is all about good deals.  HA!
