Floral Mug!

Jun19

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Floral Coffee Cup from the new June 2024 release. This stamp also comes with 2 other sentiments, “Wonderful in every way” and “Enjoy the little moments”. Love how this image can be used with so many wonderful sentiments to fit any occasion!

I began with a card base of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock. Hot Buy – Recollections – Jewel Tones was cut to the same size and then adhered directly to the base using double-sided tape. Momenta – Cardstock was also cut to the same size as the base and then Nuvo Glimmer Paste – Moonstone was applied to it using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Krafty Kaleidoscope stencil. I thought this gave it some nice added sparkle! Once it was all dry, I cut the paper to the size of 5.25″ x 4″. With a blending brush and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salvaged Patina, I inked around  the outer edges. The finished piece was applied to the background paper using double-side tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Copics were used to colour in the image and then it was fussy cut.  U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the finished image and it was popped up onto the card.

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Coffee Gnome from the new November release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Your a special blend” and “You are the cream to my …”. I’m personally not a coffee lover, but I do believe this is the perfect image and sentiment to send a little note to a friend.

Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base. Creative Memories – Hot Fudge paper was die cut to the size of 5.25″ x 4″. Using Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Ground Espresso and a blending brush, I created my own background using the stencil from Coffee Break – Practical Publishing 2017. With a sponge dauber, the edges were also inked all around. The finished background was then applied directly to the card using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and coloured in with Copic markers. Both the sentiment and image were then fussy cut all around leaving a small border surrounding them. U-Line Double-Sided Foam tape was applied to both and they were popped up onto the card.

Coffee!!

May17

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Drive Thru – TLF026 for the image and Nothing Begins – FLL021 for the sentiment. I don’t drink coffee, but I know a lot of people who can’t start the day without one! Are you a coffee drinker or a tea drinker like me?

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cut and scored to be 5.5″ x 4.25″. To create my background, I started with Creative Memories – Hot Fudge paper cut to the same size as the base card. I adhered this directly to the base. From the same paper, I also made several more cuts. 5.5″ x 2-5/8″, 5.5″ x 1-1/16th” and using my Anna Griffin Empress Mini Machine and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers, I die cut a rectangle the size of 4.75″ x 3.5″. With multiple papers from Your Next Stamp – The Perfect Blend, I cut them to the sizes of 5.5″ x 4-1/8″, 5.5″ x 2.5″ and 5.5″ x 7/8″. I inked around all of the edges of the patterned papers with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Ground Espresso.

Using double-sided tape, I layered the papers and centered them onto the card in the following order. Coffee beans, Fudge cardstock, coffee stains, Fudge cardstock and lastly the coffee cups. Once again, I inked around all of the outside edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Ground Espresso ink. I added U-Line double-sided tape to the large Fudge cardstock rectangle with an additional smaller layer on the top and bottom and popped it up in the centre of the card.

Using my Anna Griffin Empress Mini Machine and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers once again, I die cut a rectangle out of Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card to the size of 4.25″ x 3″. The image and sentiment were both stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and the image was coloured in with Copic Markers. I added in a lot of extra bricks to the image to create a solid brick wall. Using my Empress machine again and My Creative Time – Little Gift Tags, I die cut the sentiment. Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Ground Espresso was used to ink around the edges. I added some U-Line double-sided tape to the back of it and popped it up onto the coloured image. Lastly to finish off the card, I added a little pop dot from Gina Marie Designs.

Coffee With A Friend!!

Feb22

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Let’s Chat – TLF030  for the image and Perfect Blend – FLL022  for the sentiment. I don’t drink coffee, but really loved these little gnome buddies having a cup of coffee and getting a chance to chat.

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5″ x 4.25″. I cut Creative Memories – Hot Fudge cardstock to be the same size as the base card and attached it using double-sided tape. Your Next Stamp – The Perfect Blend cardstock was die cut using My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers and my Cuttlebug. I popped this up onto the base background using U-Line double-sided tape. The large square was die cut using Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies and Creative Memories – Hot Fudge cardstock. The smaller square was cut using My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out and Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was then stamped with my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock and die cut it with My Creative Time – Stitched Zig Zag Ties. The image was coloured in with Copic Markers.

The card was now ready to finish being assembled. I applied U-Line double-sided tape to the backs of all of the remaining pieces and popped them up onto the card base.
