Brew-tiful...

YAY it is officially December and I am on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog with this card I created using Altenew: Coffee Talk stamp set, Stamplorations coffee dies and Tim Holtz stencil. I went with a simple design today and this is how I made it....

I first stenciled the background using the Tim Holtz stencil and oxide inks. I just used a bit of color here and there.

Next I die cut this fun Stamplorations coffee dies on silver glitter paper and white card-stock. The silver really brings out this cool design... don't you think? I adhered the coffee cup using foam adhesives. Finishing up with stamping the sentiment, trimming it down and adhering to the top of the coffee cup again using foam adhesives. I am all about dimension. 

That is it... see I told you totally simple. What do you think? Let me know below in a comment. Make sure to also follow the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for more fun caffeinated inspiration. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Have an awesome day!

When Friends Gather...

Yay for Tuesday... today I am on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog and I am sharing a card I created using My Favorite Things: Sweater Weather in The Woods stamp set and Its Bitsy Polka Dots Pastels 6x6 paper pad and Waffle Flower Crafts: Mico Grid Panel 1 die set. Nothing like cute paper and fun stamps to create with. Hi, my name is Annette and I am addicted to cute stamps. LOL

The background was created by cutting strips of the Its Bitsy Polka Dots Pastels paper and adhering to a piece of card-stock. After that I used this fun Waffle Flower Crafts: Mico Grid Panel 1 die set to cut this square polka background. The images are colored with Copic Sketch markers and I fussy cut around them. I used foam adhesives to give them some dimension. Finishing up with the sentiment being stamped on a piece of card-stock, trimmed and adhered to the card base.

Have an awesome day.

Are you in love with that fun smily face yet? 

The background was created using Paper Smooches: Stitched Circle die set and some fun Echo Park Paper Co. striped paper. Totally simple but fun... right? I used foam adhesives to give the images some dimension and finished up with stamping these fun sentiments. 

Next up I have this super long card that I created using Paper Smooches: Caffeinated and Caffeinated Two stamp and coordinating dies. I used lots of scraps for the coffee cups. I created one and then two and kept going... LOL So this turned out to be a big card.

Happy Tuesday everyone... today I am on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog HERE. I created this card using: My Favorite Things: Beast Friends stamp set, Honey Bee Stamps: Shake It Off stamp set and Ranger oxide Inks: Ripe Persimmon, Abandoned Coral, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean.

I am getting all my winter stamps out and this is one of my favorites from last year so I just had to ink him up again. Some stamps you just keep inking up.

I did a simple Ranger Oxide ink background. I actually had this background sitting on my desk and thought it would be perfect for this little critter. Bright and Fun was my main focus. I especially love the coffee mug he is holding. 

Did you all have any special plan this weekend? My husband and I just did a little this and that around the house. Do you have those little projects that just need done? Well we concurred ours and happy to be done with them.

Today I am sharing to cards using Divinity Designs Stamps: But First Coffee rubber stamp set. This first card I created a colorful background using watercolors. I created the coffee cup stains using a cup that was on my desk. I just dipped the bottom in some brown watercolor and well this was the result.

On my card base I added some fun black and white striped designer paper. I think it makes the color pop more... don't you think?  I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card-stock and then added some pretty NUVO Crystal drops. Color, color and more color..... I just love it!

This card was also created using the Divinity Designs Stamps: But First Coffee rubber stamp set. This set has some great caffeinated sentiments. See the image below.

I created a Ranger Oxide ink background and then started stamping all these fun sentiments. I wanted them all on the card and well I fit as much as I can. LOL.... I also used a gel white pen to hight light the sentiments. I think it makes them stand out more.... don't you think?
