 I'm sharing two cards today featuring three of the new January Release sets. 

My first card features two of the new coffee themed sets, I Like Big Cups and Coffee Talk 2. I love coffee and collecting coffee stamp sets!

 

 

I wanted to create a little bit snarky non-traditional color Valentine's Day card. I started by embossing the hearts from Grunge Elements 2 in clear embossing powder on bristol smooth cardstock. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die, ink blended with chipped sapphire distress oxide ink and added a piece of washi tape. 

I stamped the coffee cups with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink onto white cardstock and pattern paper. I stamped the lids a second time and coffee sleeves on white. I fussy cut the cups, lids and sleeves. I stamped the sentiment from Coffee Talk 2 and XO from Much Love with chipped sapphire on the coffee sleeves. 

I paper pieced the cups together. I stamped Happy Valentine's Day from Love Wordfetti on white and cut a banner tail. I assembled the card on a white card base popping one of the coffee cups and sentiment up with foam tape. 

 

My second card features the fun new set Background Builders: Stripes and I used a previous layout from Freshly Made Sketches.  

I began by stamping the thicker stripes from Background Builders: Stripes with buttercup ink on so saffron cardstock to create a tone on tone effect. I cut the panel down and mounted on a black panel. Next, I stamped the Delightfully Delicate Background with VersaMark ink on a kraft cardstock base. 

I stamped the teapot from In This Together, with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, colored with Arteza watercolor brush markers and fussy cut out. I stamped the sentiment with black ink on kraft cardstock and assembled the card popping the sentiment up with foam tape.

2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

The Fall/Winter 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is underway through November 13, 2020.  So join in the fun and create something new! Don't forget to link it up to the official Fall/Winter 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and you just might win a prize from one of the many Super Sponsors. You have until next Friday to link up, so there's plenty of time to play along!

 

 

I combined Coffee Talk and A Little Snarky from Super Sponsor Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to create this fun card.

 

 

I originally made the coffee background a few months ago when Coffee Talk was released. My idea for it didn't quite work out so I put it aside figuring I would use it eventually. Fast forward to this month and the release of A Little Snarky and a new idea was born. 

I stamped her with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink onto white cardstock. I colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens and fussy cut out. My initial plan was to have her showing completly, but the blue ink from her shirt ran onto her arms and I couldn't fix it. So what's a girls to do but come up with an idea to make it work. I recently bought the polaroid shaker frame from MFT and knew that would be a good solution. I trimmed the girl down so she would fit inside the frame, stamped the sentiments and assembled as seen. 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
