Hello everyone… Today I would love to share an idea for a thank you card for a dear friend. This card is quick and easy to make with this simple design, especially when you want to make it in a batch of assortment sentiments for your stash.

This month’s theme for the October Artzy Challenge is Favorite Color. I was inspired by these Fall colors on the pattern paper. It is one of my favorite color combos for the season!

On my today’s card I used:

• Everything is Blooming Variety Paper Pack
• Breezy Blossoms Stamp Set
• Breezy Blossoms Die Set
• Rectangle Framelits Die Set
• Mini Borders Die Set
• Totaly Black Artzy Ink Pad

I cut out a dark brown cardstock in 4.25″ x 5.5″ and added it on top of the card base with the permanent adhesive runner. Next, I cut out the floral pattern paper from one of the Everything is Blooming Variety Paper Pack using the largest die size from the Rectangle Framelits Die Set and added it to the card with permanent adhesive.

I cut a strip of paper with the yellow pattern (the back of the floral pattern) and I added it to the card with the permanent adhesive runner. The double-sided pattern paper is what I like from Dare 2B Artzy paper collection. They match the color and are easy to pair up together.

I stamped one of the flower images from the Breezy Blossoms Stamp Set with Brilliance Dew Drop
Galaxy Gold Ink on white cardstock and dried it with a craft heat gun. I left it as it is because of the shimmery gold look, but you always can color it if you want to. Next, I cut it with the matching die from the Breezy Blossoms Die Set. I added the flower die cut on the card with 3D foam tape.

And then I arranged two of the sentiments from the Breezy Blossoms Stamp Set on the Mini MISTI stamping tool and stamped them on white cardstock using Totaly Black Artzy Ink Pad and then cut it with one of the Mini Borders Die Set. I added the sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape.

That’s the card for today. I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Have a fabulous day!!!

Hello and Happy Sunday! It is the first Sunday of the month and we have a new challenge for you!

The Challenge winner will get a $15 Gift Certificate!!! Head over to D2BA blog post to read the challenge rules and to link up your project.

And you can see, my favorite color is purple! I got with no-stamping technique to make this card. I only used stencils and die sets.

On my card, I used:
• Gift Box Layering Stencils
• Happy Birthday Layered Die with Balloon
• Double Dot Circle Framelit Die

I stenciled the front card base. I taped the first layer of the stencils on the card and added the Memento Lulu Lavender ink on the card with oval brush blending tool. And then after removing the first stencil, I taped down the second layer of the stencils and added the Memento Grape Jelly ink on the card with the oval brush blending tool.

I for the circle and sentiment words, I used 2 shade of purple cardstocks I had in my stash. Luckly, they matched the inks!!!

Then, I added some of the white iridescent sequins on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue to embellish the this birthday card.

Hello hello hello coffee-loving crafters! It has been a fun Coffee Week at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog. Can you believe that tomorrow is National Coffee Day? Head over to CLC Blog to see caffeinated inspiration from the design team.

Here’s about the National Coffee Day Hop – September 29, there is no link up. There will also be an International Coffee Day Hop on October 1st. So you’ll get to sit back with your favorite cuppa and enjoy all the inspiration and prizes!

Today, I am sharing my project at CLC Blog – Coffee Week featuring the Super Sponsor – Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps, and over there you can find the detail on how you can enter for the giveaway.

I went with a monochromatic theme. The stamp sets I used on this card are:

• Coffee Talk Clear Stamp Set
• Texture Tiles 9 Clear Stamp Set

For the background, I used watercolor cardstock and added some watercolor paint to create the grungy look, and then using the Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad I stamped the coffee stain splatters from the Texture Tiles 9 stamp set. After that, I used a distresser tool to distress the edges of the watercolor cardstock. I added it to the card base with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L – E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

I stamped the coffee word tile stamp with Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad on white cardstock to make the word background mat, and then I added it on light brown glitter cardstock with E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser. I added ribbon on it and then added it to the card with thin foam tape.

I stamped the coffee cup image from the Coffee Talk Clear Stamp Set twice on white cardstock with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and colored them with alcohol markers. I cut them and added them to the card with permanent adhesive glue.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the same stamp set on a white card with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and trimmed it. I added it to the card with thin 3D foam tape.

And then, I added some of the Crafty Roast Clay Coffee Bean Embellishment Mix to the card with permanent adhesive glue.
