Meet the Before Coffee Crew | Slimline Card | KCS Designs by Kim | Graciellie Design

-

 

Happy Monday, y'all!  Popping in today to share a quick coffee-themed slimline card I made last night.  When Kim released this new set, this idea popped into my head, and I had to run with it.  

  • I made a top-folding slimline card by cutting a piece of Kraft cardstock, 7.25" x 8 5/8".  I placed the short side along the top of my scoreboard and scored at 3 5/8".
  • I printed one of the papers from the Coffee Lovers Digital Paper Pack (one of my fav coffee papers) from Graciellie Design, die-cut it using a stitched slimline die that measures 3 5/8" x 8 5/8", and adhered it to the card front. 
  • Using Pages on my MAC, I imported 7 of the ladies from the brand-new Before Coffee Crew Clip Art from KCS Designs by Kim on Etsy.  
  • I added my own sentiment in a text box under the images.
  • I printed it on 180gr/65lb white cardstock, die-cut it using a stitched slimline die, adhered a piece of 1/8" black fun foam to the back, and then to the card front so that the coffee-related words would show in the background.
  • Lastly, I cut a piece of white cardstock, 3.25" x 8.25", and adhered it to the inside for a message.

QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge | Slimline Happy Easter Card

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...
