Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge # 249- Dots and/or stripes

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner.  The challenge is to use stripes or dots.   

I received this cute but sassy image from Mirtillamente Craft Shop to color and design with.

 

Here is the card I created.

 I colored the image with my Copic Markers:

Skin: E15, E13, E11, E00

Mug and Cup: C3, C1, C00, R83, R20

Coffee and Coffee Bean: E29, E25

Hair: C9, E49, E44

Lips: R20

I finished the base of the card using the Coffee line from Echo Park. The dots and stripes can be seen on the pattern paper as well as the stripes on her outfit. I finished the card with an organza ribbon bow. 

Now it is your turn.  Create a card using stripes or dots or both and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.

Cup of Cheer

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a project I created using all Dollar Tree items and through the process learned a new thing on my Cricut.

I created these adorable little cups of cheer using all things you can find at Dollar Tree; red mini cups, caulk, straws, brown paint, ribbon and sprinkles.

The learning experience came in when I had to create the little cup labels.  I learned how to print and cut stickers from my Cricut.  What a fun new technique.  I can't wait to create more stickers.  I am amazed at what I can do with my Cricut.

Bitten by the Bug 2: Coffee Challenge

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is a new challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2 and the challenge is to create something with coffee.   It is my challenge which I am in charge of.  

I found this fun cut file at My Scrap Chick and had to make it. 

 

 I used some red cardstock I had on hand and the pattern paper is from an old pad of paper I have had from Michael's.  

I then stamped the little hot chocolate stamp from Lawn Fawn with Black Licorice ink from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then used the Fun Stampers Journey's Journey Color Burst pencils.

Here is a look at the inside.

 Here is a close up of the bow and tag.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.  Then create something with your Cricut and join the challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2.

Crafty Gals Corner: Masculine Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  Let's see your masculine cards.

I got to play with this fun image from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  If you know me, I love making cards with a coffee theme, so I knew this was the image for me.

I colored the image with my Copic markers:

Donut: E35, E49, E47

Skin: E13, E11, E00, E000

Coffee: E57

Sweats: C7, C5, C3

Slippers: BG78, BG75, BG72

I created the base of the card using Whip Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  Next I layered pieces of the Echo Park Coffee 6 x 6 pad for the background. 

I hope you found inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.  Then come join the challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.

Starburst Technique Coffee Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

Have you seen the new technique of starburst cards?  I have had too much fun trying them out.

Here is the card I created using the Echo Park Coffee Collection.

The card starts with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch cardstock piece. 

Each pattern piece of paper is cut at 1 1/2 x 6 and then cut on the diagonal.

Then you place the first strip down in the middle of the card and build from there. 

Pretty easy.

To finish the card, I added the cup strip to the bottom of the card.  I cut this strip from one of the piece of paper.  I then added the sentiment from an icon sheet in the collection. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

Coffee Buckle Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have what the pattern was called a buckle card.  Whatever name it is given, I like the fold.

The base of the card is created using Whip Cream Cardstock and Cream and Sugar pattern paper from Doodlebug Designs. 

Here is the card opened.

I started with a regular 5 1/2 x 8 piece of cardstock, folded in half.  I then cut 3 inches off one flap. 

I added a piece of Whip Cream cardstock measuring 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 to the front flap.  That makes the buckle.

Then I added strips of coffee bean paper to the sides of the inside and the top of the small flap.  I then added the piece of Whip Cream cardstock to the front flap and added the coffee cup pattern paper.

I die cut the coffee cup and the word coffee from Your Next Die set, Java Geek.  After I had the coffee cup together, I stamped the face on the cup from the stamp set with the same name.

Thank you stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

Happy New Year.

Love to Craft Challenge for December

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Love to Craft Challenge Blog and the theme is Anything Goes.  With it being the first day of December, I knew I wanted to share a Christmas Card.

I bought the card base die from a friend recently who was destashing.  I love unique card bases, so I knew I needed this die in my life.
The die is from Sizzix.  I paired the die set with a favorite stamp set from Lawn Fawn and I have a card which was a hit at my classes.
Ink and Cardstock are all from Fun Stampers Journey.

Come join the challenge with anything you are working on right now.

Thanks a Latte

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a coffee card I created for a recent swap.

I created this card using stamps from Your Next Stamp.  I stamped the cup in Whip Cream Cardstock and Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock.  I then stamped the same cup on Pool Play, Lemon Grass and Rich Coral Cardstock.  I fussy cut the pieces and pieced them all together. 
I die cut the circle with Journey Circles and Whip Cream Cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto the circle.
I layered the circle on top of the pattern paper I had in my stash and then layered that on a Whip Cream Cardstock card base.
To finish the card, I added a Whip Cream Thread bow.

Stamp: Your Next Stamp

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you had a relaxing Veteran's weekend.  I am thankful for all the men and women that have fought and still fight for my freedom.  Yes, I enjoyed the day off from work, but it is more than a day to thank them.  Without them we would not have the freedoms we have.

Today, I am sharing another card using the Color Me Fall Background stamp, but in a different way.  The past few posts I have been showing you didn't colors and ways to use a background stamp.

Here is my card using the background stamp as the background for a fall coffee inspired shaker card.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Thanksful Friends
Paper: Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock, a variety of other fall colors.
Ink: Pumpkin Bread, Oatmeal Cookie
Accessories: Oatmeal Cookie Satin Ribbon, Journey Natural Twine

9/22/18

Hello Crafty Friends,

The day has come!  The first official day of Fall!  I am so happy.  If only the weather here in Southern California would cool down!  We are expected to have temperatures in the high 80's and low 90's today.  Not fall weather at all.

Maybe if I share a new fall card, it will get cooler?  I can dream!

Here is the card I want to share with you today.

This card was so fun to create.  I first stamped the background, Flannel Life, with Hazelnut Blend ink on Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock.  I ripped the top and bottom and then tied a Whip Cream Thread bow around the card.
I added the strip of Corrugated Paper to the card.  I then used that same Corrugated Paper and die cut the Coffee cup sleeve, as well as the cup and lid. 
I stamped the sentiment from the Coffee Helps onto the piece of Whip Cream Cardstock and added to the card using the little paper clip.

Now, with pumpkin spice and the first official day of Fall, I feel like Fall is finally here.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Coffee Helps
Paper: Tangerine Fusion Cardstock, Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock, Corrugated Paper
Ink: Hazelnut Blend
Dies: Coffee First
Accessories: Whip Cream Thread, Tangerine Fusion Gingham Ribbon, Paper Clip Elements
