Coffee Loving Cardmakers & A2Z Scrapbooking Hop

Hello!

Welcome to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers & a2z Scrapbooking Collaboration Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from the super talented Dana Gong, you are in the right place!! The beginning and hop list is at the a2z Scrapbooking blog!

a2z Scrapbooking sells mainly Hero Arts products, including Hero Arts digital files. They have a few coffee themed products, for my cards I used Hero Arts Caffeine Fix Digital Kit and Sugertree Stamps Hug in a Mug Digital Stamps.

After printing out different images and sentiments from both files, I decided to make a matching card set. To color some of the images I used my Spectrum Noir Markers: AG1, AG3, AG5, AP1, AP3, AP4, EB5, EB6, MB1, MB3, MB4.

I used these same colors through the cards, along with pink and grey cardstock. Some cards I also used a chevron stencil and a stitched oval die. I also used Hero Arts Color Layering Bird & Branch and Just For You by Lia along with HA ink Bubble Gum, Field Greens, and Forever Greens.

I made a 'coffee' battery to go with the Low Battery Need Caffeine sentiment. the red lightning bolt is from Waffle Flower Stamps Rain Check set.

Your next stop in the hop is the wonderful Erin Thiem!! There is a prize on a2z Scrapbooking blog so make sure you stop by there!! AND Coffee Loving Cardmakers have a prize, leave a comment at each stop for a chance to win the CLC prize!!

Washi Tape Background

Hello!!

I'm stopping by with a just for fun card I made last weekend! It's for a2zScrapbooking's Monthly Challenge! The challenge is Anything Goes and you have to use a Hero Art product. This challenge is perfect because I've had some new HA stamps waiting to be used!

I started with Enjoy the Journey stamp set and stamped the bottle, then started stamping my scene with the ship and different elements in the set all inside the bottle. Off to the side, I stamped the cork and the Oh Ship! word bubble.

With my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers I colored the images, I used: AB1, AB3, CR11, EB1, EB2, EB4, EB7, GT1, IG2, MB1, MB2, and Blender. I used IG 2 to shade the sails and the blender to lighten it up a bit. I also used a light blue Spectrum Noir ColourBlend pencil for the back ground. It's super light, I just wanted a hint of color in the sky, but the photo light washed it out!

Next, I fussy cut out the bottle, sentiment, and cork. I added sentiment bubble and cork to the bottle with foam tape.

Then on some tourquoise-y colored card stock, I added a few rows of different Washi Tape, very easy but lots of impact. I picked up this Washi Tape at Micheals it's a cool mermaid theme set! Next, I added the bottle to the card with foam tape and last stamped the I Forgot Your Birthday below the bottle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
