Witches Brew

 

Welcome back to my blog and another post for the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog!

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween doing whatever it is you do on Halloween! I wanted to share one more belated coffee themed Halloween card before we move on to the rest of the holidays!

This is a shaker card that I made using some fun dies from Lawn Fawn and Spellbinders!

I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Mug Frame for my mug and filled it with a fun shaker mix from Trinity stamps. The fabulous witches legs are from the Let's Be Frank dies from Spellbinders. I really love how they have spaces to fill in the socks and shoes with different pops of color!

The purple stars in the background are from an older Echo Park stencil and I printed out the sentiment using a word processing program where I could mix and match different fun fonts.

This was a fun card to make and the last of the Halloween cards until next year.

Thanks for joining me today, have a great day!

I already am!

Coffee with Friends!

 

Hello coffee lovers and welcome back to my blog! Today I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog and I have a treat to share with you!

The Colorado Craft Company has a set of coffee loving mice and they are just too cute! The talented artist Anita Jeram has designed some new stamp sets for them and she draws the most whimsical characters! You might recognize her name as she is the talented artist who illustrated the popular children's book Guess How Much I Love You and many others!

My card today features a darling image from the Colorado Craft Company's stamp set titled 

Coffee House. If you are familiar with Jeram's artwork you will recognize her whimsical style in these images. There are also dies to match these images but I did not use them for my card. 

Aren't those mice just the cutest! I just love how excited they are over that cup of coffee. I imagine after Covid many of us would be excited to have coffee with friends again in person!

Here is a picture of that sweet stamp set.

I made my own stencil for this card using the Distressed Edge Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness.

I cut the third largest die from that set out of some stencil material and placed the negative piece over a piece of watercolor paper. Then I took Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink and did some quick watercoloring over the panel. Once it dried I removed the stencil and had the distressed edge design perfectly masked off.

After the panel was completely dry I placed it into my MISTI and stamped the image and sentiment with Versafine Black Onyx ink a few times. The watercolor paper was very textured and thick so I had to stamp a few times to get a good impression.  I popped the stamped panel on to an A2 size card base with some foam tape and the card was done. For a fun embellishment I glued one heart on to the coffee cup from the Trinity Stamps Coffee Bean Heart Sprinkle Mix. I just love that extra bit of character it adds!

Here is one more look at my card with the supplies used.

Thanks for stopping by today and make sure to have coffee with a friend soon!

Have a great day, I already am!

National Bubble Tea Day Hop with Trinity Stamps and Coffee Loving Cardmakers

 

Welcome to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Trinity Stamps

National Bubble Tea Day Blog Hop!

Commenting is open until May 7th at 11:59 pacific.  One random winner will be picked from across all participating blogs.  

The winner will receive a Trinity Stamps $25 Gift Code!

You should have arrived here from Dana Warren's blog.

I have 2 cards to share with you today using several stamps and dies from Trinity Stamps.

The first card uses the adorable bunny from the Dir-Tea Bunny stamp set and the

Dir-Tea Bunny coordinating die set.

Aren't those bunnies just the cutest!!

I made a slimline card using the pretty little Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge die from Kat Scrappiness.

The sentiment is from an older digital download from Trinity Stamps from a previous Bubble Tea Day hop. The adorable little bubble tea cups in the bunny's hands are from the The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot stamp set and coordinating die set.

For my second card today I used the same little cup from the first card from The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot stamp set and The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot coordinating die set in a repeated rainbow pattern.

I placed the adorable little cups and a sentiment from A Latte Love stamp set on a pretty little tag that I cut out of a piece of burlap material. The tag was propped up on an embossed panel and matted on to a kraft colored card base.

I hope you enjoyed my cards for today.

The next stop in the hop is my Coffee Loving teamie Lisa Bzibziak!

Sprinkled with Happiness

 

This is my first post for 2021 for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers so Happy New Year and welcome to my blog! Today I have a fun card for you using my favorite color cardstock. I just love using kraft cardstock and today I did some fun stenciling with a large polka dot stencil!

Here is my caffeinated card for today:

For this card I used a slimline card base using Papertrey Ink Raspberry Fizz Cardstock cut to 8 1/2" x 7" and scored at 3 1/2". The next layer was cut using the largest die in the 

Kat Scrappiness Fancy Stitched Scalloped Slimline Dies out of Papertrey Ink Kraft Cardstock.

Now it was time to have fun with stencils. I used the Kraft Cardstock one more time to cut a smaller panel than the slimline one and I took the Trinity Stamps Lots of Dots Slimline Stencil and some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink and blended some fun dots with my blender brush. It came out so perfect, it reminded me of patterned paper.

The cute coffee mug is from the MFT Stamps LLD Hot Cocoa Cups Die-Namics and the sweet little donut is from the My Creative Time We're Better Together set (now retired). I added some sparkly Stickles to the heart on the mug and the donut sprinkles.

The sentiment from the My Creative Time We're Better Together set was stamped onto a kraft panel cut using the smallest die from the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rectangle Dies and popped up on foam tape over a piece of Raspberry Fizz card stock to match the card base.

For the finishing touch I added some beautiful Kat Scrappiness Sparkling Clear Jewels around my card for some pretty bling and shine!

I just love the color combination on this card and the cute little mug and donut! I hope you enjoyed my card today and I hope your day is Sprinkled with Happiness! 

May 2021 bring you lots of Happiness as well!

Have a great day, I already am!

Coffee Break

Hello and welcome to Lisa's ICU! It's my day on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog and I have a real treat for you! Trinity stamps recently released the most adorable little tea themed bunny stamp! It's called Dirtea Bunny and the scruffy bunny in the set is holding a mini mug that can be stamped with the most adorable sentiments. The matching die is called the Dirtea Bunny die set and it actually cuts out the bunny's hands so he can hold the mug. 

Here is a picture of the stamp set and matching die:

Isn't he just the cutest!!  I started out by die cutting a mug shaped card using the Trinity 

Coffee Mug Card die set in cream colored card stock. I wanted to decorate the mug so I used the Coffee Bean Background Stencil from Trinity and some Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink over top.  I just love the look of the two toned beans! The stencil comes with two 6x6 stencils and each stencil has one half of the bean. I used Gathered Twigs on both stencils but with a lighter hand on half the bean to give each bean a two tone look.

The sweet little "coffee break" sentiment under the cup came from the awesome 

Honey Bee stamp set titled Perfect Blend.  

That stamp set has any sentiment you can think of that is coffee related.

What a fun card to make! Here's a closer look at that sweet little "Dirtea Bunny":

I really love the cute little feature that the die cuts out just the arms.

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Have a great day, I already am!

Monster Hug in a Mug!

Good morning and welcome to my ICU!

I am up again today on The Coffee Loving Cardmaker's Blog and I've got a couple of coffee mugs filled with really cute monsters just for you!

These adorable monsters are from the Monster Love stamp set by Trinity Stamps.  The coffee mugs are from the Hot Cocoa Cup Dies by My Favorite Things. I decorated them using the Trinity Coffee Bean Background Stencil.  I just love that stencil because it comes with 2 different stencils and you can give each bean 2 different colors.  It's so much fun! The sentiment is from a Gerda Steiner stamp set called Coffee Monsters.  For the frame around the sentiment I cut out a small
Zig Zag Rectangle Die from Kat Scrappiness.
I just think those monsters are super cute popping out of those mugs!

I colored them with my Zig markers and cut a slit in my coffee mugs so they could sit inside them.  I also gave them lots of white polka dots for some extra fun!  I hope you enjoyed this fun card today.  It certainly put a smile on my face when I was making it!

Have a great day, I already am!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers / Trinity Collaboration

Good morning and welcome back to my blog crafty friends!

Today the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Trinity Stamps are teaming up 

to bring you a collaboration hop using their brand new stamp set:

 "Frappy Camper's Perking Spot"

This is a fun coffee themed stamp set that was the brainchild of the Coffee Lovers 

and Trinity design teams.  The girls from both teams spent a lot of time 

collaborating and tossing around ideas for a stamp set that was coffee themed

and centered around an "on the go" coffee shop and WALLA!

The  "Frappy Camper's Perking Spot" was born.

The card I made today uses this stamp set and the Trinity Coffee Mug Card Die Set

and the Layered Coffee Bean Stencil.

I thought the boy and girl images from the set would look really cute on the 

Mug backed by the coffee bean background.

Here is my card for today:

This set was a lot of fun to work with and it was a great opportunity to collaborate

with Trinity stamps for a fun hop.

There will be a $20 gift certificate to be selected from participating blogs.

You must comment on all the blogs to be eligible for the prize.

Commenting will close on 10/22 at 11:59 PM (PST)

Winner will be announced on 10/26 on the Trinity Blog.

National Coffee Day

Good morning Coffee Lovers and happy National Coffee Day!

For those of you who don't already know, today is National Coffee Day and why not? 

Every food and drink should have there own day right?

I am so excited to be a part of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers design team
because of fun collaborations like the one I have for you today!

Trinity stamps DT along with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers DT
have come together in a collaboration to bring you 

a super cute new coffee themed stamp set!

The name of the set is "Frappy Camper's Perking Spot"

Isn't that adorable? It's got the most adorable camper that can be all decked out as a

coffee shop on wheels! There is even a matching die set available here.
There are so many scenes that can be made with 

this set and the DT from Trinity and CLC have outdone themselves!

Here is a look at that awesome stamp set.

And take a look at the back of the packaging for this set:

Taniesa Vlasak, the owner of Trinity stamps was gracious enough to include everyone's name

on the back of the packaging who took part in brainstorming this new stamp set.

I'm not going to lie, it was pretty exciting to see my name included with all of those

talented card making designers!

And here is the card I made using the new stamps:

I started by stamping out all of the images from the set and coloring them with my Copic

markers.  I used my Scan n Cut to cut everything out. I cut out some green polka dot

patterned paper for the grass and gave it a scalloped border with the 

Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die and I gave it a wavy top border with the 

Stitched Scalloped Border dies from Kat Scrappiness.

I really enjoyed putting this card together, I even placed a cup of coffee in 

the little boy and girl's hands. For a finishing touch I added some hand drawn 

birds around the clouds. Can you tell I'm not an artist LOL!

Today on the Trinity blog they will be showcasing this super cute stamp set and you can

see all of the amazing cards made by BOTH design teams!

Hop on over there because I overheard there will be a $20 gift certificate prize up for grabs!

This adorable set is now available in the Trinity stamps online store.

What combination will you make with this coffee inspired set?

Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you check out this stamp set over in

the Trinity shop and pick one up for yourself!

Until next time, Happy National Coffee Day!

Have a great day, I already am!
