Sugar Pea Designs - Ahoy There Coffee

Hello!!

My next coffee card today for the Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop features Sugar Pea Designs Coffee To Go. Its retired from their website, but Sponsor Butterfly Reflections still has it available!!

Occasionally I try to make a coffee card that is more masculine, in this case for a younger little guy! While he probably doesn't drink coffee, he can play along and pretend and not get left out getting a coffee just like mom or dad!!

I used Echo Park Paper Co Pirates Life paper collection. First I cut a pattern paper panel with a stitched rectangle die.

With the Coffee To Go I used a couple different patterns to cut out the cup. Then I added a skull and cross bones sticker to the cup. From the collection I also pulled out an octopus sticker and the alpha stickers to spell Coffee.  The Ahoy There is also a sticker and I cut off the Pirate word at the bottom of the sticker, so instead of Ahoy There Pirate, the sentiment is Ahoy There Coffee!

I added a white and red sticker across the panel and then adhered the stickers to spell Coffee. Then I added the octopus, cup and Ahoy There above the Coffee.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! There is still plenty of time to play along, so don't forget to link up your project!!

National Iced Tea Day with Coffee Loving Card Makers & SugerPea Desings

Hello!!!

Happy National Iced Tea Day!! Coffee Loving Card Makers and SugerPea Designs have gotten together to celebrate with a blog hop!! You can start at the SugerPea Designs or you should have arrived from the fabulous Annette Allen's blog!!

Make sure to leave a comment along the way for your chance to win a $25 SugarPea Designs Gift Card!! Commenting closes on Saturday, June 15th at 11:59pm Pacific. The winner will be announced on the CLC blog the following week!

I made two cards featuring the Coffee To Go Cup die! While Coffee might be in the name, you can easily use it for tea cups like I did! I'm not going to go into a lot of details for the hop!

For both cards I made my tea cups, but using my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color the die cut cup brown. I used a coffee die cut from MFT to cut the ice cubes, using a gray marker to add some shading.  The straws are from the pattern papers I used.

With my first card I used Photo Play Paper Summer Daydreams collection adding a stripe pattern to a card base. Then I used a few stickers from the collection, adding them with foam tape. I also added one of the SugarPea tea cups that I made.

For my second card I got a little inky. I picked out a three Distress Ink colors that matched and blended them together. Then I spritzed a little bit of water over the background and finally splattered some gold ink spray I have.

I finished the card off with the SugarPea tea cup on some vellum and a tea sentiment below. Last, I added the inked panel to a white card base!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop in the hob is the amazing Erin Theim! And don't forget to comment for your chance at a SugarPea gift card!!
