Coffee Loving CardMakers & Trinity Stamps Bubble Tea Blog Hop

Hello!!

Trinity Stamps and the Coffee Loving Cardmakers have gotten together for National Bubble Tea day!! I hadn't heard of bubble tea before, if I get the opportunity I'll try it! But, I have to be honest is sounds really weird!!! LOL!!

You should have come from the fabulous Helen Gullett! You can also start at the begining at the CLC Blog or Trinity Blog!! Make sure to leave a comment along the hop for your chance to win a gift card to Trinity Stamps!!

My first card features the Seasonal Sweetheart stamp set. First, I stamped the girl and a flower and colored them with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. Then I fussy cut them out.

Next, I made my shaker, using My Favorite Things LLD Coffee Cup die cut. I cut it into some watercolor card stock, then used some distress inks to add some color to the panel. Then I added a piece of acetate to the coffee cup window.

I added foam tape around the cup and then added some of Trinity Stamps sequins and confetti included a few Coffee Bean Hearts as the bubble's in my coffee cup! Then I added the panel over the sequins adhering it to a white card base.

Last I stamped the thankful for you sentiment and added the girl and flower with foam tape!

For my second card I started with Trinity's Coffee with Character stamping two of the cups on a watercolor panel. On a separate piece I stamped two different lids. To color everything I used some Spectrum Noir inkpads. Then I fussy cut the lids and adhered them to the background of cups.

Next, I stamped and colored the girl from Seasonal Sweetheart, then I fussy cut her and the flower out. I also stamped the sentiment You Art Sweet on white card stock.

I added a strip of black card stock strip across the card, then added the sentiment and girl. I also added a few Trinity's Rock Candy Confettii.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Your next stop is the amazing Amy Tsuruta!!!

Graciellie Designs - Summer Sunflower

Hello!!

I'm sharing a card today that I made with Graciellie Designs Summer Sunflower digital stamps! This is a great set, it could go for summer and am looking forward to using it in the fall, too!!

I used Word to make the sunflower fairly big and adding a sentiment on top of the image. After printing the image I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers to color it.

Next, I fussy cut around the top part of the flower and trimming along the bottom of the sentiment. I set it aside to work on the background. With a panel of white card stock I used The Crafter's Workshop Mini Art Is stencil and Spectrum Noir Ink pads to ink up the word stencil. The colors I used with the stencil are Holly Leaf, Grass Hopper and Pine Tree.

From my pattern paper stash I found the perfect dark green pattern from Carta Bella Welcome Home paper pad. I added this paper to a white card base and then adhered the stencil panel with foam tape.

Next, I added the sunflower with foam tape also. I thought about adding gems, but in the end I figured the background was busy enough!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Graciellie Designs - Moment of Bliss

Hello!!

Today I'm stopping by with a card I made using Graciellie Designs Digital Stamps!! The set is called Moment of Bliss and has some amazing butterflies and sentiments!!

I started by using Word to make this butterfly really big and then I printed it out on white card stock. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers to color the butterfly.

For the background I used Neat & Tangled Nesting Hexagons stencil and placed it over a white card base. Then I used a couple different color Tri-Blend Markers to color in the stencil. After removing the stencil I added a strip of white card stock.

I fussy cut the butterfly and added it with foam tape just where the butterflies body is. Then I printed the sentiment, trimmed it and added it to the card with foam base. Last, I added a few gems to the butterfly body and the card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Graciellie Designs - Summer Sunflower

Hello!

It's been a little quite here (and now there is a little flurry of activity, I know!!) :) It's coming down to the last 3 weeks of my internship and that means a project to finish, tests to study for, graduation stuff to do and a job to find!!! I'm looking forward to the end of May!!

But, not to fear I continue to get in the craft room to do some creating! Today's card features new digital stamps from Graciellie Designs! Summer Sunflower is an awesome new stamp set, perfect for the (finally) warm weather we are getting in the north!

For my card I made the sunflower digital stamp really big! I use Word to resize the image and then print. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers to color it up.

Next, I trimmed the image so it was about 1/4 inches smaller then an A2 card base. I found some pretty green card stock and added that and the image to a white card base.

Then I printed the Waiting On The Sunshine & Thinking Of You sentiment and trimed it down to a rectangle. I layered some yellow and orange card stock behind the sentiment, adhering the layers together. I wrapped some twine around the layers at one end and tied it in a bow. Last I added the layers to the card with foam tape!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

You should have arrived from the fabulous Katie Brooks, if not you can always start on the CLC. They also have the whole hop list if you get lost!! Make sure to leave a comment along the hop for your chance to win 2 Honey Bee Stamps gift cards!!!

I made two cards for the hop today! I'm not going to go into a lot of details cuz the hop is long and fabulous!! For the first card I picked out some pretty pattern paper with a foil and coral pattern!

I used Honey Bee Stamps Tea Time Stamps and matching dies. To color the images I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers.

For the sentiment I used Perfect Blend and used white heat embossing powder. The sentiment and images were popped up with foam tape on the pattern paper.

The second card features the same stamps and dies. I used an oval die to create the window and placed the window over the kraft bag that came with my Honey Bee Stamps!! The bag was so pretty I just had to use it on a card!

I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. Then stamped and heat emboss the sentiment! Then everything was added to the front of the card. I used foam tape to pop up the window, images and sentiment.

Happy Birthday with PinkFresh Studio

Hello!!

I've been a little quite, its been a busy couple weeks with my internship and studying. The next two months are going to be busy two as I come to the end and graduate, so I've been working ahead!! Today I wanted to share a card I made for last months PinkFresh Studio's monthly challenge, I missed the cut off but still wanted to share!

Also, be prepared to see a lot of PinkFresh cards as a few months ago I win the entire release and I challenge myself to use every stamp set and die. I've been crafty away and really have to get sharing them!

This card I started with Spring Floral and die cut it from watercolor paper. Then I used some of my Papertrey Ink ink pads to watercolor them. While that was drying I cut a panel of watercolor paper and used one of the pink inks to watercolor it.

Next, I used Make A Wish stamp set and white heat embossed the Happy Birthday on a strip of black card stock. When everything was dry I adhered the floral die cuts on top of the watercolor panel and last added the sentiment with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Stay tuned for more Pinkfresh Studio later this week!
