Miss Ink Stamps - Java Joe's!!

Hello!!

Here is today's card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop!! Just one today one the blog because I am also on the CLC blog today! You can find that card here!

My card features Sponsor Miss Ink Stamps, Java Joe's stamp set! First I stamped the girl sitting at the table and the tree on white card stock, then colored them up with my Copic makers. Then I fussy cut them out.

Next, I used Miss Ink Stamps Painted Stroke Floral stencil with Taylored Expressions Masking Circle Stencil. I pulled out my Tonic Studios Embellishment Mousse in orange to use, I love how it turned out!!

After the background had dried, I used two different sentiments from the stamp set and stamped them below the circle with my MISTI. Then I just added the images with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Graciellie Designs - Letter Board Quotes

Hello!!

Today I have a new card made with a NEW awesome digital stamp set from Graciellie Designs,  Letter Board Quotes!!!  This is an awesome set, so on trend and really you could use it in sooo many ways!!

For this card I decided to make a background with the letter boards. I add one to a Word document, added a sentiment to the board. Then I grouped the two images and then resized it. When I was happy with the size I copy and pasted several to create the background.

Next, I printed it out and used my Copic markers to color the boards, going with a colorful multi color look! Who says letter boards have to be black!!! :)

Then I pulled out some word dies from my stash and liked one from Tonic Studios, Sent With Love. I cut it with a silver glitter card stock and black card stock. Then I adhered the two layers, slightly off setting the top black layer.

When the sentiment was dry I added foam adhesive and add it to my card. Last I added a few black rhinestones!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Stay tuned, I'll be back in the next couple days with more cards for another fabulous new set from Graciellie Designs!!

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!!

Graciellie Desings - Spooky Hello

Hi there!!

I can't believe next week is Halloween?!?! Where is the year getting too?? Halloween is my favorite holiday because of all the orange!! Orange is my favorite color, so yeah Halloween is my holiday!!

My card today features Graciellie Designs Spooky Hello digital stamp set! Perfect for Halloween, with lots of great sentiments to play with!

I started by resizing and printing the pumpkin and candy corn. For the life of me I thought I printed a couple sentiments, but as I was creating this card I could not find them! So I either didn't print them at all or they are lost somewhere on my craft table to be found next year!! Haha!!

After printing I used my Spectrum Noir Color Blend pencils to color the image. I've really been in a pencil mood lately!! I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the colored image.

Then I used a Tonic Studio BOO die and cut it from some black card stock. I adhered this to the colored panel. I used a spider web stencil and brown ink to ink up a Kraft card base. Then I added the colored panel to the card with foam tape. Last I rounded the corners.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I'm Sorry

Hello!

I'm sharing a fun card I made a little bit ago for fun! I used an older Mama Elephant stamp set, Type It.  Looking through my stash of stamps I happened upon this set and wanted to use it!

I also pulled out a background that I had already made but didn't use. On pattern paper I had added some orange paste with a stencil. I added this panel to a white card base.

Next, I stamped the type writer and the paper stamp. I'm Sorry went on the paper and then I fussy cut out each. With a craft knife I cut a slit in the type writer and added the paper. Then I added it to the card with foam tape.

I found some orange buttons that matched and I added them to the card too. I thought the card needed something else and finally I decided to tie tiny bows and adhered them to the card too.

Thanks for stopping by!

My card today features the Caffeinated Dino stamp set! I started by stamping the Dino and using my Spectrum Noir Markers to color her up! I used AG1, AG3, AG5, DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, IG1, IG2. Then I fussy cut her out.

Then I picked out some really old Heidi Swapp pattern paper from my stash! I just receintly went through my stash and put some things in the garage sale pile. I found some older stuff that I still like, so I'm trying to make sure to use it!!

Next, I used a My Favorite Things stencil and Nuvo Embellishment Mouse - Pure Platinum. While that dried, I though I would back my dino with a vellum circle. I cut one from a strip of card stock and I happened to lay the negative strip on my white card base, this got me thinking! When my Mouse was dry I placed the negative strip over it, placing the dino in the middle of the circle. I really liked the look, so I went with it!

I stamped the #deathbeforedecaf, heat embossing it in white. To adhere vellum I always hide it behind something, as I have yet to find an adhesive that you can't see! I scattered a few gems and added the dino with foam tape!

I made not just one card, but two!!! For the first card I went with a fall themed card! I started with Echo Park Paper Co. Celebrate Autumn collection and ephemera pack. From a flowery pattern I used Art Impressions double stitched rectangle dies to die cut a frame, I did the same from a orange pattern paper in the collection. I replaced the flower frame with the orange frame, adding both to a white card base.

Next, I stamped the big coffee cup from the Caffeinated Cups set on brown card stock and then white heat embossed it. I also stamped part of the cup from a yellow pattern and fussy cut it out and added it to the brown cup. Then I fussy cut the hole cup from the brown card stock.

I used the banner from the Tag Me tag die set and then stamped the sentiment from For the Love of Latte. I also stamped the Coffee and fussy cut around that.

Then I added the coffee sentiment to the front of the coffee cup. I arranged the cup, sentiment banner and a flower from the ephemera pack. When I was happy with the arrangement I added everything with foam tape.

For my second card I wanted to make a Halloween card. I don't have any RC Halloween stamps, but I have a several sets that haven't seen ink yet. Then I happened upon the perfect die from Tonic!

To tart I stamped the same coffee cup I used above and then I used the dragon from Magical Day, stamping it inside the coffee cup. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color everything up. Since I knew I was going to fussy cut the cup I didn't worry about stamping the dragon and coloring outside the lines.

Next, I used a What's Brewing die from Tonic. The words actually fit inside a cauldron and there is smoke coming from it, but I new I wanted to fit it in and around the cup some how, so I got to taking apart the sentiment.

After playing with it a bit I found the What's fit at the top of the cup and Brewing? fit below it nicely. I added the cup and sentiments to an orange pattern paper and then added that panel to another orange pattern. Last, I added a few matching enamel dots!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! Your next stop in the hop is the wonderful Terri Burson!!  Remember when you make your way through the CLC designers to circle back to the CLC blog and hop along with our Super Sponsors for even more chances to win some prizes!!

Art Impressions Challenge #237 - Summer Vibes

Hello!

It's the second week of Art Impressions Challenge #237! The challenge is summer vibes!! I started with the Stayin' Afloat stamp set! I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color it, then I fussy cut it out. I used AB1, AB2, AB3, AG1, AG3, AG5, AP1, AP3, AP4, DR1, FS2, FS6, FS9, GY1, GY2, GY5, LG4, LG5, MB1, MB3, MB4, OR3, RB1, RB2, RB4, TN2. I also used Copics: E25, E57, E59.

Next, I used a Simon Says Stamp Wave stencil and Nuvo Embellishment Mouse - Aquamarine to add waves to the bottom of a blue card base. While that dried I stamped and white embossed the sentiment I Waded My Whole Life for a Friend Like You.

When the Mouse was dry I added the image and sentiment to the card with foam tape. I decided not to add any embellishment, instead let the waves and image be the focus!

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you stop by Art Impressions blog to play along with the challenge!!
