Another coffee challenge!

The coffee challenges are popping up everywhere it seems!

So here is a blog called:

Always playing with paper 

and this is the challenge:

Yes, couldn't resist!

This is what I used:

Batik Girl from JavaCardLineArt

Sentiment from Create with TLC

coffee cup by Michael Strong

punched out flowers

sticky pearls and gemstones

The sentiment is printed with the computer and cut out

with a shaped die. The flowers are punched out with

a paper punch tht also combines with an embossing

punch,so it shapes the flower.

The coffee cup is embossed with copper embossing powder

and the pearls are the floating marshmellows.

The girls is collored with distress markers.

This is the complete image,but I only used part of

it for this card. That is so great about digital images.

You can use it as small or as large as you want.

Thank you very much for looking!

Have a creative day!

Santa and his coffee

Good Morning!

Even Santa needs a coffee to keep his wits!

Here is a wonderful new image by

JavaCardLineArt

In Monika Reeck's Etsy shop you find some wonderful

coffee images for only a few dollars. The images are drawn

by her Indonisian friend HN and he can use some support.

Please take a look and see if you can

support himby buying a digital stamp.

Have you never used digital stamps?

Well HERE you find some more explanation what to

do with these digital images.

You find it in the Etsy Shop HERE.

On all these cards I colored the images with 

color pencils and also on all my cards I used

sentiments by Create with TLC. The best thing about

digital stamps is,that you can print themin any size

you would like to use for your card.

The background of this card is a piece of paper from

a Christmas paper block. The circle in the middle is

cut out with a die as well as the sentiment.

Here also a piece of design paper for the background.

Little red gemstone for extra bling on this card.

This Santa needed a bigger cup for his coffee.

This cup is by Michael Strong. No design paper

in the background,but some stamping with a coffee ring stamp

and some beans. 

I enter this card for the  Digital Galore Blog challenge.

National Cappuccino Day

I found another reason to make a coffee card!

And again used one of the coffee images by 

Java Card Line Art

In Monika Reeck's Etsy shop you find some wonderful

coffee images for only a few dollars. The images are drawn

by her Indonisian friend HN and he can use some support.

 Please take a look and see if you can

support himby buying a digital stamp.

Have you never used digital stamps?

Well HERE you find some more explanation what to

do with these digital images.

Here is my card and doesn't it look like a cup of Cappuccino?

I used the image of the Couple Cup of Coffee

You find the image HERE.

To give the card the cappucciono look I used the 

shaving cream technique You need the cheapest

can of shaving cream and some drops of

reinkers. I used the photo, the brilliance

coffee been and a copper perfect pearl spray.

First add the shaving cream in a bowl, then add the ink.

Then stir it lightly. Doesn't it look deliciously?!

Take your paper and push it in the shaving  cream.

Make sure the paper has contact all over. When you

take it out, you need a  (old) credit card or you

can also use a knife to take of the excess shaving cream.

Now your paper is ready to use for the card.

 the colored image that I used for a focal point.

I colered them with distress markers. .he background banner is embossed 

with a wavy embossing folder and added some ink on top.

    I made the female cup even more female 

with the flower stamp punched out (by SU!)

 and decorated with a little gemstone

The sentiment stamp are from Create a Smile.

This set just arrived from the US. It was my prize from

the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop in the fall.

I am gearing up on new stamps for the Winter

Blog hop they will have in December.

When you make thes shaving cream backgrounds

you have quite a lot of panels to use for cards.

So here is one more that I made with stams I received 

as a rak from Amy Tsuruta. Thank you so much.

The stamps are by Unity Stamp Company.

On the shaving cream panel I used a stencil and coffee ring 

stamp for decoration. They are both from Club Scrap.

I colored the image with distress markers and then added

y accent on the sun and a little gold glitter glue on the rest

of the cup.

Here you see the decorated background panel.

And the sentiment inside!

Hope you all enjoy your coffee today.

Thanks for looking and your comments.
