Coffee Loving Cardmakers & Trinity Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers & Trinity Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop!! CLC and Trinity Stamps collaborated on an awesome coffee themed stamp set called The Frappy Camper's Perking Spot!

You should have arrived from the amazing Lori Turner! If you need to you can start at Trinity Stamps or get the whole hop list at The Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

My card today is the second I made with this fabulous stamp set! You check out my first card here! And there is so many things you can do with this set. In the coming weeks I plan to challenge myself to use this set in a non-coffee way, therefor getting more miles out of this stamp set!!

For today's card I decided to do a little paper piecing! I started by stamping the camper, people and coffee on white card stock. Then I pulled out a Halloween pattern pad and stamped the camper a few more times.

Next, I cut the camper out with a circle die and fussy cut the people, coffee and the pattern paper pieces. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color the people and select parts of the camper. I popped up the over hang with foam tape.

I also pulled out Seasonal Sweetheart, this set has tiny pumpkins and I thought this would work great with my somewhat Halloween/Fall theme I had going on!!

After placing the paper piecing I added the circle to a panel of pattern paper that I had inked the edges. then I added the two people, coffee and pumpkins.

I stamped Rollin' By to Say Hi on black card stock and then white heat embossed. I added it with foam tape and then scattered a few sequins!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  I almost forgot to mention that their is a giveaway!! Comment along the hop for you chance to win a $20 Gift Card. Comment by 10/22 at 11:59 PM PT. Winner will be announced 10/26 on the Trinity Blog.

National Coffee Day & Trinity Stamps

Hello!!!

Happy National Coffee Day!! Today I have a special post! The Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Trinity Stamps got together and collaborated to create a new coffee themed stamp set!! Yay!  Today that new stamp set if available at Trinity Stamps!! It's called The Frappy Camper Perking Spot!

So fun, right?!?! Make sure to stop by Trinity Stamps Blog to see more inspiration using this new stamp set and for your chance to win a gift card!!!

I started by stamping the camper, people, coffee maker, sign and coffee cups. To color them I used my Spectrum Noir Markers and then fussy cut them all out. If you prefer not to fussy cut, not to worry there are dies available!!

Next, I used a cloud and ground stencil to create the sky and ground. I used Trinity's new Blending Buddy and distress inks!! Such a fabulous new tool and it comes with a lid to protect the bristles!!

I stamped the Express Go on the camper and then added the one lady and coffee machine to the camper window. With foam tape I added the overhang. I stamped the Thanks A Latte sentiment, trimmed it and notched the ends. With foam tape I added it to the card.

Then I added the camper, people and sign with foam tape also. Since the background is so busy I didn't add any sequins or enamels dots!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will stop by Trinity Stamps to check out a tone of more inspiration using this fabulous new stamp set!!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop - Card 2

Hello!!

The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop is in full swing! Today I'm sharing my second card, it features a new coffee digital stamp by sponsor Graciellie Designs! The set is called Brew Like a Boss and is perfect for the Spring/Summer hop!!

I started by adjusting the size of the iced coffee (or tea if you prefer!) to fit an A2 card base. Then I made copies of the image and printed them along with the original stamp. I printed the images on watercolor card stock.

Then I used my Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers to color the flowers and one of the full images. I fussy cut out the flowers that I colored. I found some fun summer themed pattern paper from Photoplay Paper, For the Love of Summer paper collection.

I added a strip of black card stock to the card base and then added the iced coffee along with adding a a couple of the flowers. Last, I added a few sequins!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure to play along and add your Spring/Summer Coffee/Tea themed project to the hop for your chance to win a bunch of great giveaways from our wonderful sponsors!!

My first card features the Seasonal Sweetheart stamp set. First, I stamped the girl and a flower and colored them with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. Then I fussy cut them out.

Next, I made my shaker, using My Favorite Things LLD Coffee Cup die cut. I cut it into some watercolor card stock, then used some distress inks to add some color to the panel. Then I added a piece of acetate to the coffee cup window.

I added foam tape around the cup and then added some of Trinity Stamps sequins and confetti included a few Coffee Bean Hearts as the bubble's in my coffee cup! Then I added the panel over the sequins adhering it to a white card base.

Last I stamped the thankful for you sentiment and added the girl and flower with foam tape!

For my second card I started with Trinity's Coffee with Character stamping two of the cups on a watercolor panel. On a separate piece I stamped two different lids. To color everything I used some Spectrum Noir inkpads. Then I fussy cut the lids and adhered them to the background of cups.

Next, I stamped and colored the girl from Seasonal Sweetheart, then I fussy cut her and the flower out. I also stamped the sentiment You Art Sweet on white card stock.

I added a strip of black card stock strip across the card, then added the sentiment and girl. I also added a few Trinity's Rock Candy Confettii.

Sana Claus is Coming to Town

Hello!!

I'm on the Art impressions blog today!! I can't believe it's December already!! That means Christmas is right around the corner!! My card today features the new Sleigh Bells stamp set!! 

I started with a small panel of cardstock and used my Spectrum Noir Inkpads to ink a blue sky, I was going for night and in hindsight could have added a little black! But I like it anyway!! Once I had it all inked I set it aside to try while I stamped and colored my images.

I stamped the santa and reindeer images on white cardstock and used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color them. I used: CG3, CG4, R4, DR5, DR6, DR7, EB1, EB2, EB5, EB6, GB4, GB5, GB8, IG6, IG10. Then I fussy cut out the images.

Next, I adhered the inked panel to a navy blue cardbase and then added the Santa directly to the panel. For the reindeer I added them with foam tape. 

To add a little sparkle I adhered a few snowflakes from Trinity Stamps Blizzard Shaker Embellishment mix! Last, I stamped the Santa Clause is Coming to Town in the bottom right corner

Thanks for stopping by!!
