My card today features the Embrace the Moment Digital stamp set! I used Word to resize the camera image and then I printed it out. Next, I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color, then I fussy cut it out.

I decided to pick out some pattern paper from my stash to use with the camera! I have plenty of it and really need to use it more! From my stash I found a ocean themed pattern paper pad. To start I found a graduated aqua with star fish and I added it to a white card base.

Then I picked out a journal card from the pad, trimmed it out and rounded the corner. From another card I fussy cut a gold foil sea shell.

For a sentiment I printed out Capture the Good Times, I think it went well with the ocean theme! I added the journal card and sea shell to the card base, then added the camera and sentiment strip with foam tape. Last, I added a few matching gems!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Your next stop is the amazing Esther Asbury!!! Don't forget to comment for your chance to win a gift card!!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop - Card 3

Hello!!

Yep, me again with my 3rd card for Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop! My card today features a few different Sponsors! While driving home from my internship I had an idea on mixing non coffee stamps, with a coffee cup! While not strictly spring or summer, I craft more in the Spring & Summer as the craft room can get cold in the winter. This limits the time I can be in the room!

I started with Unity Stamp Company Crafty Supplies Border Backgrounds, stamping it on a white panel. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers to color it up.

Next, I pulled out Honey Bee Stamps Tea Time stamps and dies and used one of the mugs. I masked off the the tea bag hanging over the cup. Because the background is so busy I wanted the cup the be simple.

I stamped the Coffee sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Perfect Blend stamp set. Then I pulled out some alpha dies I have by Papertrey Ink Block Alpha. I colored them black except the & which I colored pink.

Last, I added the cup, sentiment and letters with foam tape. The panel was then added to a white cardbase.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure you play along with your own Spring/Summer Coffee/tea themed project!! Who knows you could win this AMAZING prize pack from Unity Stamp Co!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop - Card 2

Hello!!

The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop is in full swing! Today I'm sharing my second card, it features a new coffee digital stamp by sponsor Graciellie Designs! The set is called Brew Like a Boss and is perfect for the Spring/Summer hop!!

I started by adjusting the size of the iced coffee (or tea if you prefer!) to fit an A2 card base. Then I made copies of the image and printed them along with the original stamp. I printed the images on watercolor card stock.

Then I used my Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers to color the flowers and one of the full images. I fussy cut out the flowers that I colored. I found some fun summer themed pattern paper from Photoplay Paper, For the Love of Summer paper collection.

I added a strip of black card stock to the card base and then added the iced coffee along with adding a a couple of the flowers. Last, I added a few sequins!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure to play along and add your Spring/Summer Coffee/Tea themed project to the hop for your chance to win a bunch of great giveaways from our wonderful sponsors!!

Spring & Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello!!

It's time for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring & Summer Blog Hop!! Tons of inspiration and fun giveaways to be had! Make sure to pull out your Coffee/Tea themed crafty goodies and create something fun to share with us!!

I'm starting off the hope with my first card featuring a new stamp company Miss Ink Stamps! To start I made a card base from blue card stock. Then I placed Miss Ink Stamps Paint Stroke Floral Stencil on top. I used versamark ink and inked up the card base. Next, I used Wow Embossing Powder Regular White Pearl.

Then I stamped the images from Miss Ink Stamps Java Joes stamp set. I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends to color them up, then I fussy cut each image out.

I added a piece of Kraft card stock along the bottom. Then I arranged the images until I liked where they were. I adhered the cafe, lady and plant with liquid adhesive to the card. Then with the waiter I added him with foam tape.

Last I stamped the Have A Grande Day sentiment on Kraft card stock. I trimmed it and notched the ends. Then I added it to the card with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure to make your own Spring & Summer themed coffee project to submit! Check out the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for all the info!
