Coffee Talk

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers!

It's Ceal here. Today isn't my normal day to post, I switched with another team member.

I thought I would share a coffee card with you today for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer bloghop. Are you participating?

To create this card I started with a top folding white card base and a white panel. I used the  Coffee Talk stamp set and then masked it off to create the background. For the background I randomly stamped the coffee cups from the Jesus & Coffee stamp set and colored them with alcohol markers and stamped the little hearts with matching ink. 

To finish the card I went back and added the line border by using the Background Builders: Stripes stamp set. 

 Thanks for looking and Happy Stamping 

Coffee

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends! 

It's ceal here to share with a couple of coffee cards with you. I do not drink coffee but I love making coffee cards if that makes sense.

To make these two cards I used the Coffee Talk, the Coffee Talk 2 and the A Little Snarky sets. 

For the top card I  started with a white top folding card base and used a stencil to give a subtle background. I stamped the image from the A Little Snarky colored it and fussy cut it out and added it on the partial background that I created. To finish the card I added a sentiment from the Coffee Talk 2 stamp set. 

My second card I created in the coloring book style, where you don't color all the images. I used the Coffee Talk, Coffee Talk 2 and the A Little Snarky on this one.

Fall Winter 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 Hi coffee, tea, and cocoa fans! It's Julee here popping in with a super fun post today! We're so excited to be amidst a long list of fabulous Super Sponsors for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! 'Tis definitely the season to enjoy a little mug of something toasty, papercrafted or otherwise.

The hop kicks off today and runs through Friday, November 13. To be eligible for any of the fabulous Super Sponsor prizes, simply create a new coffee, tea, cider, or cocoa project and link it up over on the official Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Bloghop post. Enter as many cards as you like, the more the merrier! The deadline to link up is Friday, November 13.

We're having a mini digi release today and as part of our month long 13th Birthday celebration, this week's sale is an amazing 50% off all digital products! No code needed. Sale ends November 12.

Did you spy the new Holiday Cuppa DIGI in the sale graphic? Most of you coffee loving papercrafters know I love to design coffee releated images!  So let's take a closer look at this fun digital I designed in honor of the hop.

Here's my first make with the Holiday Cuppa DIGI.  I printed on smooth bristol, sizing the image down to fit inside the cup, then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. When I was finished I added some accents with Stickles and a white gel pen, then fussy cut the whole shebang.

The background is done on the gel press with some alcohol inks. I laid down the alcohol inks, then stamped the huge snowflake from Spectacular Snowflakes with Alcohol Lift Ink and then stamped onto the gel press.  I made the pull, then I added a thin layer of acrylic paint and did another pull.  I added some splatters of paint all over the background, then stenciled on some stars with dimensional paste in either corner. Some distressed shabby edges and the coffee image up on foam tape and this card was finished!

I Wonder . . .

I love the aroma of coffee and just the thought of it makes me happy! I confess, I think about coffee a lot. So when I saw the sentiments in the new Coffee Talk set I knew which sentiment I had to use first. 

 

 

Wouldn't it be nice if coffee thought about us as much as we think about it? 

I started by ink smooshing a background on Canson mixed media paper with mowed lawn and peacock feathers distress oxide inks. I dried in between layers of ink and kept going until I reached the desired depth of color and cut the panel with a  stitched rectangle die. Next, I used four of the images from Grunge Elements 2 to create the background. I chose a combination of Distress Ink (antique linen, vintage photo) and SU! inks (close to cocoa, creamy caramel) to get the coffee stain look I desired. I stamped the sentiment from Coffee Talk with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I matted the panel on black and then onto a teal card base. 

Then, I stamped the coffee cup image from Fill Me Up with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink onto Canson mixed media paper and colored with Altenew watercolor brush markers. I stamped the cup cozy on white paper with peacock feathers distress oxide ink and cut both images with the coordinating dies. I attached the cup cozy to the cup and popped the coffee cup up with foam tape on the front. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day,

Karen

Mini Art Journal

Today I have a super fun project. I have been playing around with a mini, mixed media journal I made with watercolor paper (pages are about 4"x 5" so it's a small manageable canvas). I played around with background colors one day - just to get something done on a no-mojo day. now when I want to do a journal page, I can flip to color page I like and start building on it! It really is a great project!

For your inspiration, I have created two pages in my journal.

The first one uses this month's Stamp of the Month - Coffee Talk and one of its great little sentiments. To compliment the sentiment, I inked up one of the people images from Walk Humbly and tried to make it look like she was holding the cup of coffee from her favorite coffee house, breathing in the smell, and just in her own little paradise (I drew fingers on the cup for to this end.) I used the Tim Holtz Splatters stencil, and Texture Tiles 1 to add dimension to the background. I love it!

My second page uses the big sunflower from this month's Like a Sunflower set. I L-O-V-E this one! For the texture on this page (you know there has to be texture!), I used Texture Tiles 3, and Typewriter Text Background

This project has really renewed my mojo! I can't wait to do more pages in it!

I hope you are inspired too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Coffee Thoughts

Hi all! It's Julee here popping in with a little inspiration using this month's Stamp of the Month, Coffee Talk.

It's no secret that I love coffee... and coffee stamps. So I was more than a little bit giddy when I saw the previews for this month's set. Love these cute cups, and Korin did a fabulous job hand-lettering these fun sentiments!

 

This was a super fun and simple card.  I stamped out the coffee images, then colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. I used a quote border die from my stash to cut the designer paper and a coordinating cardstock mat, then stamped the sentiment onto my card base.  Easy peasy and such a fun card to send to a friend! Personalize with their favorite colors and you've got a winner!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! The Stamp of the Month is available to purchase in the shop for $15.95 OR you can receive it as a free gift with a $75 order in the month of August. Please note, you have to add the Coffee Talk set to your order to receive the discount. Discount of $15.95 will apply to your cart when your order has qualified.

coffee talk

Good morning! Today I have two quick & easy cards to share with some new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps. Here I used the August Stamp of the Month set... Coffee Talk. The funny thing is that I don't drink coffee. But I do enjoy making coffee cards for others! They are always perfect, too, for tucking a gift card inside to a local coffee shop.

For my first card I stenciled some morning rays and layered an old die cut window I found in my stash. It was just what I needed to "sit" the coffee cup on.

Next I repeatedly stamped a cup and sentiment for a background. I planned to add a layer with my focal image but I liked the background so much that I didn't want to cover it up. I decided to make one of the cups my focal image instead. A scrap of patterned paper was used to paper piece the cup.

Grab a cuppa and have a great Thursday!

Coffee Talk

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends!

It's Ceal, here to share with you today. I am using one of our newest sets, Coffee Talk which is our Stamp of the month and you can earn it free with a $75 order which also gets you free first class shipping!

I paired it up with a couple of others Fill Me Up and Flower Garden. 

To make these cards I started with white top folding card bases. I stamped the Starbucks cup and the other coffee cup from the Fill Me Up set on white card stock and then used the Flower Garden set to give them a design. I colored them with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies.
