Always Coffee... Card

Hi everyone :-D 

Today I am joining in the super fun event Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, hosted by very talented and friendly Lady, Amy Tsuruta of Tsuruta Designs.

Once again, Amy organized super fun blog hop with a lot of super sponsors. For more information hop over to Fall Coffee Lovers Blog hop.


I thought I won't join in this season because I'm in the middle of moving. So many things done and still a lot of to do, but I had to sit down and relax. Result is this Always Coffee... Card. :-D

I used 'But First Coffee' Digital Cut File from 17 Turtles by Juliana Michaels. Juliana is generously sharing this one for free on blog (links provided). Thank you Juliana! :-D

I printed .png files she shared on two different Kraft papers, cut them out and glued pieces together. I stamped acorns and leaves on cup, glued a piece of thread on it and Coffee bean. I added 3-D foam behind cup to pop it up on card.

Stamps I used are from Jane's Doodles 'Autumn Blessings' stamp set. Looove this one! I was so happy when I received it from Jane. :-D

For stamping I used Dye Ink and Distress Inks (see full list below).

'Always' was a perfect sentiment for this card. I got this wooden chip as a blog hop prize from Simon Says Stamp. :-D

Card dimensions are 107 mm x 139 mm (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

Drummer Notebook (KBD Aloha Friday Challenge #56)

Hi everyone :-D 

My second post today...

Today a new Aloha Friday Challenge starts at Kitty Bee Designs.

New challenge for this fortnight is #56 - Make Music.

Our sponsor for this challenge are Kenny K, who are giving to our lucky winner some cute digis.

For this challenge I made this Drummer Notebook, using our sponsor's beautiful image Kenny K 'Buggin Drummer' digital stamp.

First I printed the image on a white watercoloring paper. I wanted to get old photo look, so I decided to color the image in watercoloring technique with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. I like the Sepia look I got. :-D

After coloring whole image and background, I continued aging my image. I splattered background with water, then burnt all edges and distressed them after that.

I made notebook covers from corrugated cardboard I had in my stash. Inside, I added grid paper from an old notebook and tied them with thread with covers.

Then I decorated covers. I glued a piece of Kraft paper and colored image on them and decorated notebook with long fasteners and distressed wooden arrow. I also wrapped thread around the arrow. I wanted this notebook to close, so I added piece of thread inside covers, which can be easily wrapped around fasteners. I also covered inside covers with Kraft paper.

Notebook dimensions are 95 mm x 114 mm (3 3/4" x 4 1/2").

List of supplies:

• Kenny K 'Buggin Drummer' digital stamp
• white watercoloring paper
• grid paper 
• Kraft Paper (packing paper) 
• Corrugated Cardboard
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo)
• Tim Holtz Idea-ology Long Fasteners

Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone :-D 

Today I'm taking part in Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Two new sets have been released into the store. I made two CAS (clean and simple) cards using these two new stamp sets. Love all the images! So cute, don't you think. :-D

Dogs

Cats

First up is a Paw-sitively perfect Card using the Dog stamp set. 

I stamped a dog on a white cardstock paper and colored him in watercoloring technique using Distressed Inks, water and fine brush. After drying, I fussy cut him colored the edges with black permanent pen, added 3-D foams behind him and placed him on a card.
Card dimensions are 127 mm x 101 mm (5" x 4").

Next card is Cat's Dreams Card using the Cats stamp set and one stamp (small paw) from Dogs stamp set. 

First I made a blue starry panel on a white 160 grams paper. I stamped small stamps and colored them with black permanent pen. Then I colored whole panel with Stormy Sky Distressed Ink, using blending tool and splattered the panel with white tempera color mixed with water, using paintbrush. I stamped fish, mouse, twine and sleeping cat on the white cardstock paper, colored them in watercoloring technique using Distressed Inks, water and fine paint brush. After drying, I fussy cut all images and colored their edges with black permanent pen. I glued mouse, fish and twine images directly on the blue panel over previously stamped and black shaded images. I glued blue panel on a white card base and stamped sentiment on the card base. I stamped only a part of the sentiment. At the end, I added 3-D foams behind the cat and placed her on the card. 
Card dimensions are 139 mm x 107 mm (5 1/2" x 4 1/4").

I hope you'll like my cards. Below you can find a detailed supply list. :-D
