Hello everyone.  Today I have 3 cards using the same stamp set - Coffee 2 from Anthony's Paper Craft .  I think it's great to get lots of cards from one stamp set and this is one of them.  OK, the 3 cards are different, yet similar, and I did use the same "to go" image on each of the cards, but it's so easy to color and cut out.  LOL Each of the cards is a top folding 5.25" square card.   For the first card, I started with my card base, a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.5" square, a piece of white fun foam 4.25" square, a piece of dark brown cardstock 1.5" x 4.5", and some coffee bean washi tape I had in my stash. Next, I adhered the strip of brown cardstock to the front of th e white square,  ran the washi tape along the top and bottom of the brown cardstock, adhered the fun foam to the back, and then I adhered this to the card front.  Then I stamped the small "to go" cup from Coffee 2 from Anthony...

Hello everyone.  I made another card for the Spring|Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop , which is still going strong but ends tomorrow.   Actually, I made a few coffee cards but I posted them over on my Instagram account.  If you would like to see them follow me there, just click HERE .   For today's card, I am using two digi stamp sets, Stay Strong and Sweetness , and some a digital paper pad called Blue & Pink Watercolored , all from  Gracielle Design .  I liked the flowers from one set and the coffee to go cup from the other and decided to make a new image.   I started with a top folding A2 card base of white cardstock on which I adhered one of the design pages from the paper pad.  Sadly, you won't see much of the paper but I liked it behind the main image.    Next, I printed the two digital images, 4 times on a sheet of A4 white cardstock.  The Heart Frappuccino image from Stay Strong,...

Hello everyone!!  The 2019 Spring|Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop  is in full swing!!  And Anthony's Paper Craft has a new set of vintage style stamps called Coffee 2 .  Since I am on his design team, I thought it was a good time to push myself out of my comfort zone.  In the end, I made 3 vintage/coffee/masculine cards that I am really happy with!!  And I hope you like them too. Not knowing which image(s) would talk to me, I started by putting all the images into my Misti and stamping them on to a piece of white cardstock and, then, cutting them out with my Scan N Cut.  I decided to give them a border since it's easier to cut a border than to add one!   I wanted the images against a more rustic/vintage type of background and I went searching thru my digital paper files.  I found a pad called Barista, by Basic Grey ,  that had a cool wood grain pattern and another of burlap.  So I printed them on to A4...
