A Cup of Joy

 

Hello and welcome back to my blog! It's my day again up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog and I have another caffeinated creation to share with you today!

Hopefully you all had a chance to take part in the Spring/Summer 2021 Coffee Lover's hop, it was so much fun to see everyone’s cards and projects!

In case you missed Amy's wrap up post with all of the winners, you can find it here.

I made 12 cards for this hop and I've put them all in a collage to share with you today:

I used lots of different stamps and dies from the many super sponsors and had so much fun!

The bright yellow card with the flower was made using the Better Together stamp set from super sponsor Reverse Confetti. I loved that card so much and I really wanted to use that stamp set again so I made another card for today's post using that stamp set for the flowers and the cute coffee cup is from an older stamp set from Paper Smooches.

Lately I have been enjoying making mini slimline cards and super sponsor Kat Scrappiness carries a whole line of mini slimline dies! I used my favorite one on this card, it's called the Scalloped Edge Mini Slimline Die and I just love those pretty scallops around the edge!

You might notice the faint text stamp on the background and on the coffee cup and for that I used a stamp from super sponsor Unity Stamp Company called A Faithful Letter.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and having a cup of coffee with me! 

Have a great day, I already am!

I made a slimline card for today and I think it turned out adorable!

Ok well the truth is that the Quokka is super adorable and that definitely helped!

I used 4 different Kat Scrappiness products on my card:

Zig Zag Nesting Slimline Dies

Condensed Lowercase Alpha Dies

Everyday Quokka stamp set

Sparkling Clear Jewels

The base of my card was cut out of some pretty patterned paper using the largest

 Zig Zag Nesting Slimline Die and I matted it on to a coral panel.

I thought it would be fun to spell out the word coffee using the Condensed Lowercase Alpha Dies and use the adorable Quokka as the letter "o".

One of the cute accessories that comes with the Everyday Quokka stamp set is that adorable little coffee cup in his hands. I cut around the outside of his hands so that he could hold his cute little coffee cup.

I printed the sub-sentiment out from my computer and matted it on the same color card stock as the base.

I finished off my card with some Sparkling Clear Jewels to make it shine!

Here's one more look at my caffeinated creation:

Spring/Summer 2021 Coffee Lovers Hop

 

Calling all caffeine addicts! It's time for the 

Spring/Summer 2021 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop put on by the Coffee Loving Cardmakers!

Thank you to Kerry Urbatch for designing the awesome graphic we are using for this hop!

For my first project to start off the hop I have a cute little mini slimline card and

I've used stamps and dies from several of the Super Sponsors!

How adorable is that cute little bunny on my card!!!

You must check out the sweet digital images from Super Sponsor Isabel Cristina on Etsy!

This bunny is from the Coffee Bunnies digital set and comes with 5 different bunny images, 4 sentiments and several mini coffee cups.

For the base of my card I started with the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge Dies. I just love the mini size of these cards and the scalloped edge is my absolute favorite mini slimline die!

I cut out a piece of pink card stock using the largest scalloped die and then I stenciled over it with  

The Rabbit Hole Designs Splish Splash Stencil using a darker pink ink than the card stock.

Once I had that beautiful stenciled pattern I stamped over the entire panel with the

Unity Stamp Love Story stamp and I just love the way the text background stands out!

The next step was to add my Copic colored bunny to a Stitched Scalloped Heart from Kat Scrappiness and I cut it out of a piece of vellum so you can see through to the background.

To add the sentiments from the Coffee Bunnies digital set, I just printed them out a few times until I got the size I wanted and then cut them down and adhered them to the card on foam tape.

To finish off my card and add some shine I adhered some 

Kat Scrappiness Sparkling Clear Heart Droplets.

I really love how this card came out and I just love working with digital images because you can customize them to whatever size you need.

Make sure to check out Isabel's Etsy shop for more cute images!

Thank you to all of the Super Sponsors taking part in the hop and a big shout out to the Sponsors that made my card possible!

Coffee Coffee Coffee

 

Hello and welcome back to my blog! It's my day up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog and I have a fun card to share with you today!

The truth about today's card is that I had absolutely no plan when I started making it.

I was playing around with some Color Burst powders by Ken Oliver after a video I had seen on You Tube.

Before I knew it I had a very colorful blue and purple background on watercolor paper and I thought a text stamped background would really look good on it. I recently purchased the Tracey Hey stamp set "No Words" and it came with the perfect sized text stamp.

Here's the panel after I cut out the elements for my card:

Once I had the panel stamped I used the Embossed Edge Heart Dies from Kat Scrappiness  to cut out 2 different sized hearts for my card. 

Now let me just say that at this point I still had no direction for this card... 😂 

I did however think I wanted to turn it into a coffee themed card for today's post so I took out one of my favorite coffee dies from an older company that went out of business.

I used a coffee cup die from Top Dog Dies and I used the blue and purple panel I made to cut out the koozie for the cup.

For the background on my card I used the same text stamp from the colorful panel and I stamped it randomly over the card smudging the black ink here and there to give it a more grungy look.

To finish off my card I die cut the word coffee from the CAS-ual Friday's Coffee Cup Dies 3 times and added some colorful jewels from Kat Scrappiness in Dark Blue and Purple.

This was definitely a different style card than I'm used to making but I had a lot of fun playing around with no particular plan.

Easter Blessings

Good morning! Today I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog with a cute little Easter card using 2 of the newest products to the shop.

I started with a 3.5" x 3.5" kraft colored note card and added some pretty paper to it using the new

Easter on Parade Slimline Paper Pack.  The sweet little egg patterned paper was the perfect choice for this card. I cut my piece of paper down to fit my card and then I added a pretty little scalloped border using the Stitched Scalloped Border Dies.

The Everyday Quokka stamp set was the perfect addition to this sweet little card. There are so many accessories in this stamp set including that adorable little Easter egg in his hands!

Don't forget there is a Spring Sale going on right now through March 14th at Kat Scrappiness so go check it out and save some money while you shop!

Thanks for visiting today!

Have a great day, I already am!

Bunny Slimline Card

 

I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with an adorable slimline card featuring the 
Slimline Filmstrip Border Die and the adorable Build a Bunny Stamp set with matching dies.

I started out by blending Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxides onto a slimline base. I used one of the dies from the Slimline Filmstrip Border Die and cut it out with black card stock. I layered the filmstrip border over some patterned paper and layered them both over the ink blended panel.

For my adorable bunnies I used the same 4 Distress Inks as mentioned above and after blending them on to card stock I cut out 4 bunnies (1 in each color). Their cute little faces were stamped using the Build a Bunny stamp set. I tucked them into the 4 windows on alternating sides and my cute card was done.

I just love all of the slimline products over at Kat Scrappiness! My favorites are the mini slimline dies, especially the scalloped edge die!

You can check out all the amazing stamps, dies and embellishments at Kat Scrappiness and save money while you shop! There is a Spring Sale starting today through March 14th.
