Coffee Loving Cardmakers & Not2Shabby Collab Blog Hop

Hello!!

Welcome to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers & Not 2 Shabby Collaboration Blog Hop!! You should have come from the fabulous Robyn Jordan!! You can always start at the beginning over at Not 2 Shabby!

Not 2 Shabby has some cute fall themed digital stamps!! For the hop I'm playing with I Love Fall! So cute!!!

I used Word to resize the images, making one a little smaller. With the smaller image I cut it with a stitched circle die. Then I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir Markers.

From my stash I found a fall pattern paper stack. I picked out a few patterns, did a little layering and added some twine!

My second card uses the same fall pattern papers. I used one of the journal cards, adding a strip of pattern paper to the bottom. After coloring the image with my Spectrum Noir Markers, I fussy cut it out and added it to the journal card.

I added the journal card to some more pattern paper. Then I inked up the edges of the card before adhering it to a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Leave comments along the way for a chance to win one of TWO $15 Gift Certificates! Must comment by November 29th at 11:59 pm PT.

Graciellie Designs - Festive Poinsettia

Hello!!

I'm stopping by with a card featuring a new Graciellie Design!! A gorgeous Christmas digital stamp set, Festive Poinsettia is a must have!! Fabulous images paired with many sentiments, perfect for your Christmas card making!!

My card today features the single poinsettia and a few of the holly and leaves! I used Word to add the images and resize them. I also added the Christmas Cheer sentiment because it was one of the thicker sentiments.

After printing it out I decided to do something a little different and color the image in a monochromatic tone! I pulled out a few warm grey Copic markers to color the image.

Next, I cut the image out with a rectangle A2 card base die. Then I trimmed away part of the white card base. I added the image to a red card base with foam tape.

Last, I wanted a little bit of sparkle, so I used a clear glitter pen to add the sparkle to the flower. Then I added a few matching rhinestones. It's hard to get a good photo, but you can see a little bit of of the sparkle in the photo above!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day!!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Card 5

Hello!!

Today is the last day of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop! I'm sharing my last card today, featuring a new digital stamp from Graciellie Designs! It's called Book Lovers, with you guessed it books! Haha! But it does also have a cute tea cup!

I resized the images in Word and added the cute macaroons from the Macaroon Friends stamp set. After printing it out I used my Spectrum Noir Colored Pencils to color the image.

Then I cut the colored image out with a stitched rectangle die. From my stash I found some soft grey pattern paper. But I thought it still needed something, so found some dark pink card stock from my stash to mat the colored image.

I adhered all the layers together and then added them to a white card base. Last I added a few matching sequins for a little sparkle!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure to get your coffee/tea themed project linked up today!

Coffee Loving Cardmaker Blog Hop Card 3

Hello!

I'm popping in real quick to share my 3rd card for the Coffee Loving Cardmaker Fall/Winter Blog Hop!! Tons of coffee inspiration and of course fabulous sponsors! One is Evelin T Designs! This is my second card using Warm Winter Wishes! I even made a third card, but its non coffee Christmas card!

I colored several images with my Spectrum Noir markers and then fussy cut them out! Now looking at my photo, I realized I colored the coffee cups grey, that same gray as the rabbit! So his cup blends in to him nicely! Oh, well! LOL!

Next, I used a stencil and light brown ink to create a ground on a white card base. Then with an older Simon Says Stamp Stencil I used some Tonic Studio glitter paste to create some sparkly snow!

I stamped the Christmas Blessings on matching card stock, notched the ends and added it to the card when my 'snow' was dry!

Then I it was just a matter of placing my images on the card. I added them with foam tape and last I decided to add the cute little bird to atop the sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure you check out all the inspiration and link up your own coffee/tea themed project! I'll be back tomorrow and Friday with two additional coffee cards!!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Card 2

Hello!

I'm popping in to share a second card for Coffee Loving Cardmakers  Fall/Winter Blog Hop! I recently splurged and got an Evelin T Designs stamp set! I picked up Warm Winter Wishes, which is perfect for the hop and can be used after Christmas! Evelin T Designs is also a sponsor of the hop, so link up your project for your chance to win!!

I started with a pink Distress Ink and lightly inked up a white card base. Then I added some water splatters, but lightly. I didn't use watercolor card stock, so I added the water sparingly and used a towel to pick up the water, which lifted the ink. Then I added some gold splatters to the card.

While the card was drying I stamped the super cute bear holding a coffee cup. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color it up and then fussy cut out the image.

With a circle die I cut a vellum circle. Then I stamped and gold embossed the Hug in a Mug sentiment. I added the bear to the circle center with foam tape. Last I added the vellum circle to the card and rounded the cards corners.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check out all the great coffee inspiration on the CLC blog and add your project to the link up!

Coffee Loving Card Makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop!! Make sure to stop by the CLC blog to see out fabulous sponsors and TONS of coffee/tea/hot chocolate inspiration!!!

I'm kicking off the hop with a card featuring NEW Graciellie Designs coffee themed digital stamp set! It's called Cuddle in a Cup! A great new coffee image with some fabulous sentiments, perfect for this time of year!!

I used Word to resize and then print the image and sentiment. Then with my Spectrum Noir Color Pencils I colored the image.

Next, I pulled out a stencil and used washi tape to keep it in place over a white card stock panel. Then I picked out Spectrum Noir Markers that matched the colors I used on the image. I colored in different areas with the three different colors.

I cut the colored background with a stitched rectangle and added it to a Kraft card base. Then I cut a strip of black card stock and then added the image and sentiment to the strip. I added foam tape to the back of the strip and image to adhere it to the card. Since the background is so busy I decided not to add any sequins or enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will stop by the CLC blog to check out all the other coffee project and submit your project too!
