Guest designer on the Coffee Lovers Blog

Hello!

Hetty here and I am very delighted to be a guest designer on the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

So how do I take my coffee?

I take mine black with 2 sweetners.

I am not a fan of all kinds of coffee, but I LOVE

pumkin coffee at Starbucks in October.

Do I drink tea?

Yes, I love my tea as well and here I like all kinds

of flavours like  fresh mint tea (with the real leaves).

But here I share my 2 coffee cards that 

I made for you today.

For this card I used the stamps and dies from

Taylored Expressions called Koffee Time.

The cup is by Michael Strong

and the owl by Sweet Dixie

and is called Clever Clogs Owl.

I love combining all my stamps.

And here is a similar one, but using the 

coffee stamps by Create a Smile

using their Coffee First stamp set.

Thank you so much for looking.

Have a latte creative day!

Saturday stripes: more washi tape ideas

Hello again, you washi tape lovers!

Today more ideas on how to use your tape.

This time we use again a die and tape.

Take 3 or 4 rolls of tape, Apiece of left over scrap paper

and cut it to the size of the panel you want to use for your

card. Don't use to heavy paper or you cannot cut through

all the layers. Today I use my Michael Strong tree die.

Cover aalof the panel with tape and glue the ends

to the back of the paper.

Mat the pannel (also use light weight paper) and 

glue this to your card.

 

Decide where you want to cut and use your die

cut machine. Don't forget to open the card when you cut!

Now inside the card you can stamp your wish to be

seen on the outside. The tree that was cut out can

be used on another card or can be used on the 

inside of the card.

Here another sample with a star cut out:

For the inside I used a subway art text by

Taylored Expressions on the inside of the card.

As the star is in the letter "O" I added a little

sticky gemstone.

Here you see the inside and I have asses some 

washi tape here too.

And I did make some other cards using

the washi tape and Michael Strongs fun

elephant stamps that I want to share with you too.

Well I hope you are into washi tape now too

and have lots of ideas. Tomorrow it

is scrappage time and let me think how to

use the tape ther. See you tomorrow!

Have a creative day!
