Anytime You're Sad - Coffee

Welcome back!  I'm sharing some caffeinated inspiration for you today.  I've used some of my favorite things from the shop for this one.

I created the background using the Chunky Chevron stencil with my Gel Press.  I die cut the cup using the Coffee Cup Die from white cardstock.  I stamped part of the sentiment from the Cup Refills stamp set.  I stamped the flower from the Flower Duo set onto the corner of the cup, colored the coffee piece and popped it up onto the background.  Finally some Jumping Jacks cut from glitter paper as "steam".

You may have seen yesterday's announcement that Michele is going to be closing up shop.  There is a huge liquidation sale going on and everything is 40% off.  Many of my faves have already sold out so if you'd like to get some great deals on some great stamps, dies and stencils, hurry over to the shop to get some of your faves before they are gone.

Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon.

Make Pretty Things

Welcome back!  I felt the need to get my gold on for today and what's better than some coffee with that?

I started by applying some glitter embossing paste through the Tin Roof Stencil onto a die cut panel.  While it dried I assembled my cup and sentiment.

One of my favorite die sets from the shop is the To Go Cup Dies!  The wrap was cut from a previously blended and embossed piece (using the Full On Floral Stamp Set) that I saved because of course I would!  I used the colors in it to cut the cup lid and one of the base panels.  I cut the Coffee word die from the Coffee Cup die set from gold glitter paper and twice more from plain cardstock and stacked them together.  Then I stamped the sentiment pieces from the Coffee Talk stamp set and cut them in strips.

Once the paste was dry, the card was assembled and a few sequins added.

That's me for today!  thanks so much for stopping and hope you enjoyed your visit!

Grab Today

Hi All - It's Vicki here today, and it's time again for my CAS-ual Fridays post.  Michele has told us that CAS cards are not a requirement for this company - [even with the name], so today, I took her at her word 😀

 

I went crazy with layers!  I haven't made such a layered card in [it seems like] years!  [I was inspired by Ginny Nemchak from Polly's Paper Studio, and I was in the mood for a more elaborate card]  While I used all kinds of [dusty :)] supplies in my stash, I did make the focal image the Coffee Cup Die from CFS, along with a sentiment from Hot Coffee stamp set.

 

This is going to make a fabulous birthday card for my coffee drinking friends!

I Say Bad Words

Welcome back!  I've got some more Caffeine for you today using some of my favorite CAS-ual Fridays products (including some that are on sale!)  We are in the middle of the week long celebration of all things Coffee, Tea or Cocoa that is the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  And CAS-ual Fridays is a Super Sponsor once again.

Here's how I was inspired:

Have you seen the new Pinked Slimline Dies?  Love them!  That fun pinked edge on the largest die is so fun!

I started by cutting the To Go Cup base from Copic friendly paper and stamped that beautiful Fox from the Foxy Stamp Set directly onto it with Memento Ink and colored it in with Copic Markers.  I cut the lid from some design paper.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Hot Coffee Stamp Set.in brown ink and then cut out some of the lines from it in strips and the last line was fussy cut.  Then I cut the Coffee word from the Coffee Cup Die Set twice from white and once from brown cardstock and stacked and adhered them together.

I cut the flowers and leaves from the Garden Die Set and layered the flowers with glue.

I used the dies from the Pinked Slimline dies to cut a white base and the design paper layer.  I cut a layer 1/8" larger than the design paper layer with a paper trimmer to create a small thin border between the other two layers.  I cut a strip in white large enough to layer my sentiment on top and a strip in brown 1/8" larger.  And finally I assembled all of my pieces and added a few sequins to finish it off!

Now!  There is a sale going on in the shop on all Coffee items as well as a special clearance section.  (You will find the Foxy stamp and Garden dies in the clearance section at half off!)  No code needed for the sale.  And should you decide you need something, you can also use the code LISASENTME for an additional 15% off of your order!

Poured With Love!

Hello all!   Lisa here and I'm sharing a cup of caffeinated happy with you today!  I don't know about you but I have lots of friends who LOVE coffee and would appreciate a caffeinated birthday card for sure!

I started this one by blending some beautiful Catherine Pooler Inks through the By The Beans stencil.  Then I applied some clear embossing paste through it before lifting it off.  While that was wet I sprinkled on a little bit of glitter and set it aside to dry.  The paste goes on a little cloudy and as it dries it gets clearer and the ink appears brighter... it's fun to watch.  I set it to the side while I created the rest.

I cut the Coffee Cup Fri-Die once from white cardstock and again from that Emerald Green.  I heat embossed that great sentiment from the Cup Refills stamp set in white.  I painted the hearts from the Coffee Chips Chipboard with white acrylic paint.  Once they were completely dry, I colored them with my Copic Markers.  I also colored the coffee part of the white cup that I cup with the same colors.

Finally, I assembled everything using popup tape for the cup and some glossy accents to attach the hearts and then on top of the hearts to give them some shine.  I tossed around a few sequins and done!

Thanks so much for stopping today!  Come back again soon for more CAS-ual Fridays Stamps inspiration!

Coffee - A Hug in a Mug

Hi everyone, thank you so much for popping in and really hope you and your family are doing well. We have started our third week of complete lockdown in New Zealand and so far everyone is doing a good job with staying at home but the past few nights I've been out walking the dog to find groups of people out on the pavements in front of their houses, having get-togethers with neighbours, friends etc...and they are not six feet apart!!! I just don't understand their mentality. I'm off to the supermarket soon for the 3rd time in three weeks and I'm petrified.....

On to cuter topics, my dog and cats have loved us being home as I'm sure all your pets have around the world. And I was thinking about what food (apart from flour) would be consumed the most with everyone being at home and think maybe coffee!! So I decided to combine these two thoughts on one card:

I used so many different products on this card: die-cuts from Coffee Cup Fri-Dies, stamp images from Coffee Talk and Little Huggables and a stenciled background using the Curtis Stencil.  For all the details on how I put this card together, pop over to my blog HERE. 

Hopefully you've had a chance to do some crafting during your lockdown and CFS is still posting out purchases, so feel free to do some internet shopping from home. Please stay safe and I'll see you back here again soon with some more card ideas.

Take care
Shona

 
 

Ahhh Everything is Okayer Now

Hi All, it's Vicki here today from All I Do Is Stamp.  Today I made a simple card that I like!  Sometimes, simple works well. :)

 I started by inking on some color using the Modern Petals Stencil.

Using the Coffee Cup Fri-Die I cut out the cup twice.  Once with black card stock, and another with some designer paper I had in my stash.  I used one of the sentiments from the Cup of Coffee stamp set.  Like I said, a simple card, but very supportive at the same time.

That's it for me today.  Don't forget, you can save 15% off any CFS purchase by using my code!
