Happy Vibes!

 

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

It's my day to take over the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog again and today I have a cute little Corgi to bring you some happy vibes!

Isn't that just the cutest little puppy you've ever seen! I just love his cool shades! 

The patterned background paper is from the Coffee Lovers Paper Pack from Unity Stamps and the cool sentiment is from the Latte Happy Vibes stamp set from Your Next Stamp.

My cute little Corgi is actually a vinyl sticker from my daughter's Etsy shop The Paper Garden Gals. These vinyl stickers can be used on cards, cups, computers, or anything you want to decorate. There are lots more coffee themed vinyl stickers in her shop to check out as well!

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out what's brewin' in Lisa's ICU!

Have a great day, I already am!

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!

Keep Calm and Drink Coffee

  

Welcome back to my blog! Today I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog and I have a card to share with you using a pretty little coffee mug from super sponsor Paper Sweeties!

I used the Keep Calm and Drink Coffee stamp set for the sentiment and I cut the coffee cup out of some pretty floral paper using the matching Sweet Cuts die.

I just love the soft look that a lace doily gives to any card and it added to the vintage feel of the whole card. I did some ink blending on the card base and embossed the panel with the Quilted Hearts embossing folder from Sunny Studio Stamps. To finish off the card and give it a little sparkle, I added a few beautiful Cinderella sequins from Unity Stamp Company.

Thanks for stopping by today for a sweet little cup of coffee! Remember to "Keep Calm and Drink Coffee" and everything will be ok!

Have a great day, I already am!

Snowflake Wishes and a Goodbye

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog, I'm glad you're here!

I have some news to share with you today. This will be my last post for the i-crafter design team. I have had the pleasure of watching this company grow since the beginning and I wish them continued success in the future!

For today's card I have used the i-crafter Flip Card - Snowflake die and some fun patterned paper.

This die is meant to make an interactive card but I chose to make a flat card. This snowflake is so pretty it is perfect on it's own. Once I cut the snowflake piece out I adhered it down to a cream card base.  I cut out the Warm Wishes sentiment in some pink glitter foam and adhered it to the bottom of the card.  I added some beautiful sequins from Unity Stamps to finish the card off. 

Thanks for joining me today for my last i-crafter post!

Have a great day, I already am!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Guest Designer

Hello again Coffee Loving friends!

I'm excited to be sharing my second and last 

guest designer post this month over on 

The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog!

A big thank you to Amy for having me!

I have enjoyed sharing my cards on their blog this month.

Today I have a card using one of my favorite coffee themed stamps.

It's called Love To Go from Unity Stamp Company.

I just love the whimsical style of this stamp, it really lends itself

to watercolors and that's exactly what I used.

• To begin with I die cut a panel of cream colored card stock with the largest die from the  Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness.  Then I ran it through my Vagabond with a script embossing folder and adhered it to a light teal card base.
• The next step was to stamp the coffee cup on to some watercolor paper and use Distress Inks to fill in the cup with a fine tip brush.
• Once the watercoloring was done, I used a smaller die from the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies again to cut it out. Before I matted that panel on to the same color as the card base, I tied some twine around the bottom of it. I then adhered it on an angle to the card base.
• The last step was to die cut some cream card stock with the Stitched Flag dies from Kat Scrappiness and stamp my sentiment in dark brown ink. I matted that flag with a larger one in the same teal color as the card base. I popped it up on foam tape above the coffee cup and my card was done.

Thanks so much for joining me today!
