But First Coffee

Hello!!

Today I'm sharing my second card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop!! You can play along your self and see tons of great inspiration on the CLC blog! we have a ton of great sponsors, so make sure to link up your project for a chance to win some awesome prizes!!

There is nothing more spring or summery like flowers!! I wanted to use some new stamps I picked up from PinkFresh Studio's! I paired them with coffee sentiment stamp from Sponsor Divinity Designs!

First, I used some Catherine Pooler inks to ink up PinkFresh Studio Modern Layered Floral stamp set. I also used the matching die and my Misti to make stamping the images easier!

Next, I used the Nesting Diamond stamp set with Sponsor Wow Embossing Powder Gold to heat emboss the background on purple card stock.

Then I pulled out a circle die and cut one from white card stock. With Divinity Designs But First Coffee stamp set I stamped the sentiment in purple ink, using one of the colors from my flowers.

Last, it was just a matter of adhering my embossed panel on a card base, then adding my flowers and sentiment with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be back in a day or two with more coffee cards!!

Divinity Designs & Coffee Loving Cardmakers Collaboration Blog Hop

Hello!

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.

For my second card I stamped All You Need is Coffee sentiment all over a white panel and white heat embossed it. Then I used a purple, green and blue Distress Oxide inks to ink up the panel. With a barely damp baby wipe I cleaned up the embossed sentiments of ink.  I also used a little water and made some splatters all over the panel.

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!
