Thanks A Latte-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

  

Hello, happy February! This month Deb and I decided to use this fun mood board I'd found on Pinterest as our inspiration for this month's collaboration. I love all of the deep reds and pinks and, of course, the cocoa and coffee! I created my card by using the Close To My Heart Starburst background die and some pretty patterned papers from Echo Park's Hello Valentine 6x6 paper pad. I inlaid all of the patterned papers onto the die cut piece that was adhered to my A2 white card base. I then stamped and colored the latte image from Honey Bee's Coffee Break stamp set and fussy cut the image out. I popped it up off of the card using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Fiskars Latte Love stamp set using Gina K charcoal cocoa ink. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen details to the latte. 

When I heard that Starbucks was bringing back it's pistachio cold brew I couldn't resist popping into my local Barnes & Nobles (which has a Starbucks in it) to pick up a large one and peruse some craft magazines! 

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate all of my followers and love reading all of your comments. They really brighten my day! Now, be sure to pop on over to Deb's blog and see how she was inspired by this month's mood board! 

Latte

 

Today's card was created for newest The Paper Players card challenge. To create my card I started by layering a piece of dark blue patterned paper from the Echo Park Coffee 6x6 paper pad onto my white A2 card base. I then cut a smaller panel using plain white cardstock and layered it on top. I cut a few squares of patterned paper from the same Echo Park paper pad and layered them directly onto the card following the sketch. I then stamped, colored, and fussy cut the latte image using Honey Bee Stamps Coffee Break stamp set, Memento tuxedo black ink, and my Copic markers. I popped the image up using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I die cut the sentiment using Honey Bee Stamps Perfect Blend Honey Cut dies using more of the same dark blue and white cardstock. I popped the sentiment up too and finished the card off with some white gel details. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

Coffee And Friends Make The Perfect Blend

 

Hello and happy Friday! It's snowing here in SE Missouri. I guess winter is not done with us yet. I decided to do a little crafting and created a card for the latest Sunday Stamps card challenge. I created my card by layering some textured kraft cardstock from Hobby Lobby onto my white A2 card base. I then layered a pretty piece of patterned paper from the Echo Park Hello Valentine 6x6 paper pad on top. I die cut a circle from some plain white cardstock using a stitched stacking circle die from My Favorite Things. I stamped the coffee and donut from the Honey Bee Stamps Coffee Break stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored them with my alcohol markers, fussy cut them out, and adhered them to my die cut circle panel using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Bo Bunny Cup A Joe stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink. To finish my card off I added some pretty clear rhinestone from Recollections around the focal panel for a little sparkle and shine. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
