Someone Special Card

Well, one more day until the end of the hop and its has been so much fun!

Here is a card I made using an older Close to my Heart stamp set:
I random stamped the cup on kraft cardstock and then stamped the larger cup. Then I paper pieced the cup as well as used my watercolour pencils to highlight it.

Have a great night!
I am off to make another coffee card!

A whole Latte Love!

Good morning!
Its a cloudy day here and a perfect one to make cards!
I made this card to enter into the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.
I bought this embossing folder especially to make cards for this hop and after embossing I embellished it with some Nuvo drops. I then stamped this sentiment from Joy Clair and mounted it on a cardbase with some patterned paper.

Thanks for taking the time to look today!

Hello Friend Coffee Card





Good Morning!
Today I have another card for the Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Blog Hop!
This one features a set from Tim Holtz and Ranger and includes a really cool coffee cup embossing folder! This is a new set I purchased and I was dying to use it!

I stamped the image with Memento ink onto Distress watercolor paper and then used my Zig Clean Color markers to colour it. Then I mounted everything onto layered cardstock, one of which I embossed with the coffee cup folder. Lastly I stamped the sentiment and added that as well!

Thanks for taking the time to look today!!

Thanks a Latte!

Hello again!
I am here with another card for the Spring and Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
This is one of my favourite hops because I love all the sponsors and of course,
LOVE coffee!

For my next card I decided to use a new die/embossing kit that I bought recently on our trip to the States! Its a Sizzix/Ranger kit and has this cool die/embossing folder combo in it!
I used kraft card stock and really thick cardstock from Simon Says Stamp for the base and then added the purple sequins from my stash!
The sentiment does say "Thanks a Latte" but its hard to read because I jam-packed it with the sequins!

Have a wonderful day!

  For my first card I used the stamp set called: Sea Friends
This is an adorable set featuring beautiful sea creatures!
I stamped the image with our Black Olive Ink and then coloured everything with Copic markers. Then I used the matching dies and cut out all the seals and heat embossed the saying.
Lastly, I layered everything on the new Seas the Day Paper which I had cut out using our new Rounded Square Dies with Paper piecing holes.

Here is my second card using a funny (or should I say Punny!) stamp set!!
Its called: Punny Pineapple

When I saw this set I was laughing.......the backstory is that my sister and I tease our Mom about her collection of Pineapples all the time!! SO now I have a PERFECT stamp set to make her cards with!

I went with a shaker card for this card and used two of the new Rounded Square dies to make a frame for the shaker. I used the Geometric Papers for the frame and then stamped and coloured the Pineapple with my Copics. The pineapple and sunglasses were then cut out using the matching dies.

Here's what I used!
