SheetLoad of Cards

 Hey friends!  I know it's been a bit since I had a blog post.  Life has been keeping me busy.  I found Crafty Al over on YouTube who does these awesome templates to create "SheetLoads" of cards!  You can find her channel HERE.  I've been meaning to try one of them out but hadn't made the time.  Then she came out with a slimline "SheetLoad" for September.  I knew this was the time to jump on in!

I combined this with my current favorite patterned papers from Stampin Up called Gilded Autumn.  It has such an amazing fall color palette accented with lots of foil!  Let's see what I created.

I'll start with the group shot of all six together and then show the individual cards.

These cards were so much fun to make.  Fall is really my favorite season!  Remember to go check out Crafty Al on YouTube and her awesome "SheetLoad of Cards"!!! #suyssep2020 #showusyoursheetload

Thanks for poppin' in!

Coffee Lovers day 5

And....I'm back!  Today's creation is a card but it was created using a cut file from the The Cutting Cafe.

The patterned papers come from Echo Park's Coffee collection paper pad.  The navy card base is Stampin Up! cardstock.

I used foam tape to pop up the letters from the base.

I also splattered gold paint over the entire card.  AND I used the Gold Sheer Shimmer Stix dauber from Imagine to add even more bling.  You can't see it when you look straight at the card but if you turn it just a bit, magnificent!

Not the most flattering view but I was able to catch the shimmer in this photo.

As a reminder, you still have three more days to link up your own creations!

Coffee Lovers/Coloring Challenge day 4

Well hello again!  Day 4 of the Coffee Lovers hop and the Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge.  Today I am back to making a card.  Let's take a look shall we?

I remember how excited I was to purchase this Jill Girl stamp from Picket Fence Studios many months ago.  I think this is the first time I have inked her up!  I need to do it way more often.

The plaid paper is from Echo Park's Coffee collection.  The olive cardstock is from Stampin Up!  I ran it through a coffee bean embossing folder and then lightly applied olive and gold ink over the raised portions.  The sentiment is embossed in gold and is from Lil' Inker Designs Coffee Talk 2 set.

Here are the Copic colors I used on the girl stamp:

BG75, 72

YG99 ,97, 93

E51, 50 and E000

E59

E35, 33, 31

YR24

W5, 3, 1, 0, 00

One more look at the card.

Here is where you can go to link up for both events!

Tea Pot

I can hardly believe it but I have managed to make a fourth card for the Coffee Lovers blog hop!  This time I went with a tea theme.  I really LOVE coffee but I also enjoy tea so I wanted to show it some love.

First thing I did was to create the main card panel.  I cut a piece of natural ivory cardstock down to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Then I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up! in the center of the card.  Next I lightly sponged Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink over the embossed area and around the top edge of the panel.

I picked out a piece of patterned paper from the Echo Park Coffee Collection paper pad.  I used one of the Hero Arts tea cup dies to cut the patterned paper.  I felt it needed some shading to give it more life.  I used Copic markers BG75, BG72 and BG70.  I just freehanded some lines and blended them out until I was happy.  I gave this a spritz with a gold glimmer spray and set it aside.

Now for those lovely flowers!  I used the Flower Silhouettes stamps and dies from My Favorite Things for all of them.  I pulled out my Altenew mini ink cubes to find inks that would coordinate with the patterned paper.  The colors I picked were Blush, Coral Bliss and Heart Beat for the pinks/reds.  Forest Glades and Evergreen for the greens.  I stamped out several of the flowers and leaves in various color combinations.  Then I cut them all out with the coordinating dies.  I started to play around with the layout on the card.  I would lay the tea pot over the flowers and moved the pieces around until I was happy with it.

I removed the tea pot carefully and used a piece of Glad Press n Seal to hold all of the flowers together.  I turned the whole thing over and used a combination of the Zig 2-way glue and Tombow mono multi glue to adhere them together.  Then I added glue to the whole piece and layed it down on the card.  I layed a stamp block on top and let it sit for just a few minutes.  While it was drying, I added foam tape to the back of the tea pot.  I peeled off the Press and Seal and splattered gold Finetec paint over the entire card panel BEFORE adhering the tea pot over the flowers.  Some of the flowers and part of the tea pot were hanging over the edge of the panel.  I simply cut them off with a pair of scissors.

The very last step was to add it to a card base made out of 110lb Neenah Solar white cardstock and this bad boy was done!
