Have a Brew-tiful Day Coffee Card | Pattie's Creations | KCS Designs By Kim

 

Hey everyone.  As you know, I spend a lot of time on Etsy, and I recently came across a new store on Etsy called Pattie's Creations.  She sells some of the cutest B&W digital images that are perfect for cardmakers and crafters.  I have NO affiliation with this store - just sharing a good find with y'all. 

The first time I visited her store, I ended up buying 3 digital images, but I plan to go visit again soon for a few more.  One of the images I bought is called Cup and Saucer with Flowers, and it's the image on today's card.  The first card I made was a cute and colorful one with a yellow coffee cup.  But, just as I finished the card, I realized there were 2 creases, and my OCD forced me to remake it.  LOL

The first card I made.  Notice the crease on the tulip
and in the upper right corner.  

Below is a video I made showing how I made the card.

If you are more of a photo person, below is a step-by-step on how I made the card.  

• First, I printed the Cup and Saucer image twice at 25% on white cardstock.  One of the images I die-cut using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die.  The other, I fussy-cut the 4 large flowers. 

• I colored the full image and the 4 flowers using markers from my stash.    

• I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock, and I adhered a piece of decorative paper from a paper pad in my stash.  
• I layered my colored image on a piece of orange cardstock, then I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back of the orange cardstock, and then I adhered it to my card front. 
• I printed one of the sentiments from the Word Snippets Coffee Phrases, from KCS Designs by Kim, also on Etsy, layered it on a piece of yellow cardstock, then orange, then the card front.

Now the fun starts.  

• I applied white glue to the center of the 3 fussy-cut flowers, and placed yellow seed beads on top.  Once dry, the glue will be clear, and the beads will not move. 
  
  Make sure to use a glue that will dry clear, or use Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze.

• Then I did the same thing with red glitter on the 3 hearts.  I applied some white glue, then red glitter, removed the excess, and allowed it to fully dry. 

Here's the final card.  It went from a plain digi image to a colorful and fun card. 

I'm also entering these cards in the May "A Perfect Time To Craft Card Challenge Blog".  Their theme is always "anything goes".  If you make a card, try to enter it in their challenge too. 

Now I just need to send this off to someone.  I hope you have enjoyed this card idea.  I will be back soon with other cards using images from Pattie's Creations.  

Until next time...hugs from Brasil.
