Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Card 4

 Hello!

The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop is in full swing!! Make sure to check out the coffee/tea/cocoa inspiration and play along for your chance to win some prizes! Check out the CLC blog for all the details.

My card features Dare 2B Artzy Perfect Blend stamp set! I started with Funky Fossil Designs Festive Word die and used three colors of Catherine Pooler ink to blend. I was going for a little bit mod with the colors only in the background!

Then I used a stitched rectangle to cut out the background. From the Perfect Blend stamp set I stamped the coffee cup on white card stock with black ink. I thought about coloring it, but in the end I liked the look of the black and white against the colorful blended background!

Next, I adhered the inked background to a black card base and added the coffee cup with foam tape. Below the coffee cup I stamped the sentiment You Warm My Heart. 

Last, I tied a tiny black twine bow and added it to the coffee cup. It needed something else, but sequins and enamel dots were not doing it for me!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be back tomorrow with another coffee themed card!!

PinkFresh Studio - Happy Birthday Rainbow

 Hello!!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for PinkFresh Studio September Challenge. I made this in the beginning of the month and then realized I have to get it submitted today!!! So I got to editing the photos!!! The challenge is rainbows!!

I started with Color Block Rainbow Die and cut it from masking paper. I placed the mask on a stitched rectangle panel. Then I used various inks from Catherine Pooler and Papertrey Ink to ink in each rainbow segment.

 

Next, I pulled out Make a Wish stamp set and matching die. I stamped and die cut several of the flowers and leaves from the set using the same inks from my rainbow. 

I pulled out a yellow card base and adhered my rainbow panel. From the Scripted Bold Sentiments 2 I pulled out the Happy Birthday and placed it on the panel. I played around with the sentiment and flowers until I liked the layout.

Then I stamped the sentiment and adhered the flowers with adhesive and foam tape. Last I added a few flat clear sequins. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Make a Wish with Pinkfresh Studio

Hi there!!

This is my last card I made for World Cardmaking day and I think my favorite! I love how it turned out! I made it for Pinkfresh Studio's WCD Challenge #1! The challenge is to do your favorite technique! That is hard because I love all kinds of techniques, but to choose one I picked stamping and die cutting!

I pulled out the Make a Wish stamp and die set and stamped up a cake and some flowers. I used Papertrey Ink inks doing a fall color theme. I used Scarlet Jewel, Autumn Rose, Dark Chocolate, Ocean Tides, Terracotta Tile and Summer Sunrise.  After stamping and die cutting everything, I assembled the stand, cake, flowers and candle.

Next, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut some Bristol card stock. I used the Summer Sunrise, Terracotta Tile and Dark Chocolate inks to ink up the background. Then I added it to a Kraft card base.

I added the cake to the card with foam tape. Below the cake I stamped the sentiments with the Dark Chocolate ink.

Thanks so much for sticking with me! Have a great day!
