Coffee Love

Hello & welcome back!

Its time for the Summer's Coffee Lover's Blog Hop & how can a coffee loving card maker like me resist participating!

Let me share with you the card I made for today - 

For this card I have created the background with first & second generation stamping with archival ink. I wanted to keep this card simple & yet add dimension. Pulled out the faux stitched rectangle dies & the coffee cup silhouette CUTploration. The focal cup shape was popped up by stacking 4 layers of the die cut & the smaller pieces inlaid in the centre.

 The inside (sorry, I forgot to click a picture) has a heat embossed sentiment which says "I love coffee & you"

Hello friends!

So glad you visited me today, as I share some cards!

The background for all these was created in a jiffy using Itsy Bitsy Gold alcohol splash (hop here to know more about these).

For this card a few puffs of pink punch, wild rose & purple haze was all that was needed to created a gorgeous background with the most gorgeous gold shimmer! Used bird dies & made it into a shaker card!

For my second card, I sprayed a scrap piece of white card stock with golden soot & then die cut the flowers & leaves! The sentiment a set by Simon Says Stamp

This layout is perfect for the current PCC#247-sketch-challenge/ - 13.6

In this next card the dream catcher is heat embossed over the shimmery background!

The last one is my favorite of the lot & this one is gorgeous in real! Here's how I made this card - * *Create the background with pink punch & wild rose 

*Next stamp the image (          ) with versamark ink & clear emboss with clear superfine powder

*Rub the black soot distress inkpad directly over the panel now. The heat embossed flowers resisit the distress ink & to pop the the gorgeous pink flowers & gold shimmer wipe gently over the image with baby wipe.

Enjoy Your Day

Good Morning!

Today's card uses the same inlaid die cutting technique that I used in the card here. For the rainbow I used the Avery Elle - Chevron bits die to cut card stock in v-i-b-g-y-o-r colors & inlaid it on a black panel. It was a lot of work but fun to put it together! The heat embossed sentiment & enamel dots were perfect to finish the card.

Craft Your Passion#266

Good Morning! So glad you visited again!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

We have a Craft Your Passion#266 live. This week we are sponsored by Di's Digis.

Since it is Anything Goes always, I decided to go CAS this time. I seem to be enjoying making CAS cards! I began with a SSS die cut - Thank you ticket & glued a panel of WRMK - Retro Glam Glamour Glitter to pop up the sentiment. This was then placed on DP (Simple stories - I am) with foam tape & silver thread to jazz it up. I finished this simple stylish card with Ranger white enamel accents.

Here is a close up of the glittery thank you panel.
