Welcome!!! Today I'm happy to be part of a Collaboration Blog Hop between Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Divinity Designs!! If you came here from the fabulous Kathy, you are in the right place!! Or you can start at the beginning at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!
Divinity Designs has some awesome coffee themed crafty projects!! You can find all of them here! I have two cards, each featuring the But First Coffee stamp set!
To start my first card I used my Mom's Brother Scan and Cut to cut out a coffee mug. I placed it on a white card panel and used a little bit of washi tape to hold it in place. Then I placed a stencil on top and used pink, orange and yellow Distress Inks to ink up the panel.
Next, I stamped and heat embossed the Coffee Everything Possible with black embossing powder. That gives it a nice shine and raised look. Last I free handed an outline for the the coffee mug, I though it need a little more defining then the stencil gave.
Next, I used a circle die to cut a few different sized circles from vellum, with some double sided adhesive on the back. On one of the circles I stamped and gold embossing the sentiment again.
I arranged the vellum circles and when I liked them I peeled of the adhesive backing and adhered them to the card over the stamping and inking. From my stash I found some glitter dots that matched the ink colors I used!
