Hello… hello… hello… Coffee loving crafty friends! Happy Friday! Today, I am joining a fun bobalicious collaboration blog hop with Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Paper Smooches!
This blog hop starts at Paper Smooches Blog and Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog where you all can see the full list of participants. And check out the info about the giveaway and how you can enter to win. Info at the bottom… You should arrive from my coffee loving teammate, Kerry.
On this blog hop, we are featuring the newly released stamp sets and die: Caffeinated Stamp Set, Caffeinated Two Stamp Set, and Caffeinated Icons Dies.
Here’s my first card that I created using the Caffeinated Icons Dies to create that cup. I cut put the silver glitter cardstock for the base cup, white cardstock for the lid, and pattered cardstock for the sleeve.
For the background, I used the matching patterned glitter cardstock from the same paper stack, then I cut out a piece of vellum paper to add on the rectangle frame.
For the sentiment and cup logo, they are from the Caffeinated Stamp Set. For the circle logo, I stamped it with Pinecone VersaFine Clair Ink pad and heat embossed it couple times with clear embossing powder. And I stamped the word hello on a cream cardstock and trimmed it into sentiment ribbon banner.
On my second card, I use the Blossoming Buds Stamp Set to create that patterned background. I stamped the flower with VersaMark ink pad on a soft lavender cardstock. I trimmed it and added on a white card with EZ Runner Grand.
To create this bubble tea cup, I stamped the cup with Nocturne VersaFine Clair and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. After that, I cut it with the matching die.
I stamped the bubbles inside the cup with Blue Belle VersaFine Clair and heat embossed them also with clear embossing powder. After that, I colored the cup with the Leisure Arts Double Ended Markers and waterbrush. I sprinkled with some water and dabbed it off with paper towel.
I dried it with craft heater and then wipe off the extra color on top of the embossed bubbles. I added extra highlight on the bubbles with Signo Ball White Gel Pen.
I stamped then sentiment from the Caffeinated Two Stamp Set on another lavender cardstock with the Blue Belle VersaFine Clair ink pad, trimmed it, and added it on the card with 3D foam tape. Then, I stamped the other words on the card with the same ink.
