Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the 

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter 2019 Blog Hop.

Today I will reveal how I came a coffee card addict:

In 2003 I became a member of Club Scrap.

They have montly Scrap and or stamp kits.

I noticed they had a kit called Mocha Java that I really like,

but unfortunately was sold out. 

I am not such a coffee addict(just black coffee and not all these

different flavours - except PSL), but i love the colors and

the images. So I got a few Club Scrap Mocha Java stamps

through ebay and started making coffee cards with every kit

I received and a lot of people where cheering on, because they

also wanted those stamps. 

So a few years later (March 2007) there was Mocha Java Remix

and by then most members of Club Scrap knew me by my coffee cards.

So you understand, I am so happy that Club Scrap is 

a Super Sponsor to my coffee addiction and so great

that they are now sponsering the blog hop.

Some of my Club Scrap coffee collection.

So, today I have two coffee cards with Club Scrap

papers, images and stencil.

The cup is a die by SU! and the coffee is a die

by Verve Stamps.

I used the stencil from the September Falling Leaves

kit. It is still available HERE.

There is also a collage cut file for plotters HERE.

I tried with sprays first. I laid the stencil down on 

aquarel paper and sprays de stencil in Autumn colors,

but when the stencil was lifted, it was too wet,

but when I turned the stencil and pressed it to another

piece of aquarel paper, I got this beautiful background.

The sentiment and globe stamp are from the

October Expeditions kit and you find it HERE.

After cutting the paper, I used a piece of scrap to

decorate the inside of the card.

For this card I laid down the stencil and used different

Autumn colors of distress oxide inks and a blending tool.

You see the same stamps, but also some wonderful

leaves behind the cup. Those are dies that came with the

September Falling Leaves kit. You find those HERE.

Don't foget to leave a comment HERE

for my GIVEAWAY stamp sets.

Birthday cards

For some birthday cards, I played with one of my favorite

Club Scrap Stamps: The tulip rubber stamp.

It is an oldie and not available anymore, but there are

tons of other wonderful stamps.

This is the stamp and for the first card I used two color:

red for the flowers and green for the leaves and the stem.

I used this sketch:

from the CAS(E) this Sketch! Blog.

Happy is a die by SU! and birthday part of a Club Scrap stamp.

While I had this stamp out, I decided to make some more cards.

For the 2nd cards I stamped and embossed the tulips

with white  embossing powder on a white panel.

Next I added two colors of color burst

powder and sprayed it with water, so the color

spread all over the panel, but staued away from 

the embossed tulips.

Some baker's twine and a wish stamped on a seperate

piece of paper. I cut up the wish and used foam tape

to add the wish to the card.

For the 3rd card I started also with embossing the tulips

 with white embossing powder. Here  Icolored the background with distress

oxide colors and a blending tool. A much softer look.

Which one do you like best?

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Sketch challenge #342 and Coffee

With Michael Strong's new cup 

rubber stamp I enter my cards in 

the sketch challenge from the

CAS Colors & Sketches Blog #342.

In this first card I followed the sketch exactly.

I love the new cup, which has two handles.

This way you can choose if you want it on the right

side or on the left.

The sentiment is by Graciellie Design

and the paisly background is also by Michael Strong.

I found it while clearing a pile of papers on my desk.

The dotted paper is a piece of scrap design paper.

Cup and paisley background are embossed

and the cups are colored with a white pencil and

decorated with a sticky pearl.

It is so much fun to try and use up the papers that are on 

one's desk, so here another card. I found the gold

rosette ready cut (sizzix) as wel as the coffee ring

(yse, I had a gret pile and more will follow).
