Coffee Lovers Bloghop

I wanted to make one more card for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop.

For Christmas last year I designed coffee cards and gave sets to friends as their Christmas present.

So I decided to revisit my design but make it look more "springy!" I used papers from Lawn Fawn, my favorite Verve coffee stamp set, and a Pretty Pink Posh scallop frame die cut.

AND, as you can see, I now have a Foldio2 for taking card pictures (so pardon the picture with my "craftermath" in the background!!)

Enjoy!

Hi there! Some of my very favorite cards to make are Coffee Cards. For the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop I combined a coffee card with my other favorite card to make. . .a shaker card.

Using Lil' Inker products I created this card. I am also playing with my new Foldio2 for taking pictures of my cards. I hope you like! Enjoy!

March Mix It Up Challenge

For the March  Mix It Up Challenge pairing Essentials by Ellen and Pretty Pink Posh products, I created this card using the following:

Essentials by Ellen:
Mondo Hydrangea stamp set
Julie's Smooth Bristol paper

Pretty Pink Posh:
Storybook 1 dies
Gold sequins (6mm and 4 mm)

Also:
Kuretake Gansai Tambi 24 set watercolors
Wow gold embossing powder
Versa Mark ink
Gold foil cardstock
Neenah Solar White 80-lb cardstock

Using my MISTI, I stamped the Mondo Hydrangea and Thinking of You greeting on each of two 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 pieces of Julie's Smooth Bristol with Versa Mark ink then embossed in gold. For the first piece I watercolored using a combination of Cornflower and Purple, let dry, then cut using the Storybook die centered over the hydrangea. For the second piece I watercolored with Cornflower, let dry, and then cut 1/4-inch off each end. I then placed the cut pieces from the Storybook 1 dies over the hydrangea and mounted with foam tape making sure the cut piece of hydrangea matched the base hydrangea. I then mounted the hydrangea base on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of gold foil cardstock. This whole piece I mounted on the Neenah Solar White cardstock card base. To finish off the card, I added Pretty Pink Posh gold sequins.

Gold is so hard to photograph, so I hope you can enjoy this card!!

Thanks,
Miriam
