Collaboration Blog Hop ~ Coffee…Stay Strong

Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Graciellie Design

Hello everyone… I hope you all have an amazing day and your coffee is strong… Today, I have couple coffee themed cards to share with you for a fun collaboration blog hop!

This is the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Graciellie Design collaboration blog hop featuring Gracie’s new released stamp set.

I am using the Stay Strong digital set. This digital stamp set is not only can be use for coffee themed projects, but also for any encouragement projects. I love this set for the various options it gives.

And… here are my two cards…

On my first card, I used DecoFoil Rainbow paper on the cup and sentiment. I printed them on a white cardstock using Laser Printer, added a piece of the foil paper, and then run it through my laminating machine. And woalah! Shiny and rainbow-y!!!

I was wondering if this foiled image can resist watercolor paint… it did!

I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink on my craft mat, sprayed some water, and I smooshed it the cardstock panel on it. Super cool… I love it! I sprayed and sprinkle more water on the panel and dabbed it off with paper towel to give the distress look on it.

I added the panel on a top-fold card with 3D fun foam and Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive. I tied up some May Arts Nature Twine and some clear gems.

And on my second card, it is a watercolored CAS card with Distress Inks.

I created the background panel with smooshing technique also using 2 colors of Distress Ink Pads. After the watercolor paper got some ink on it, I tilted it to get some flowing and dripping look on it. I dried the watercolored panel with craft heater, and then trimmed slightly smaller than the A2 Card. I added it on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue.

For this cup, I printed the cup image on Canson Mixed Media Paper with inkjet printer. I dried the ink with craft heater and start coloring it with Distress Inks and waterbrush. After that, I dried it well with craft heater and then I fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors.

For the sentiment, I used one of the sentiments from the Sweetness Digital Stamp Set. I printed it on a white cardstock with inkjet printer, and trimmed it into sentiment banner.

I added both cup and sentiment on the card with 3D fun foam and dries-clear adhesive glue. I embellished this card with some May Arts Nature Twine.
