Winter 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 7

Warm Wishes

Hello everyone… Welcome to the Winter 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I believe we – coffee/tea/cocoa loving cardmakers/papercrafters – have been waiting for this moment 😀 This is the time of the year we share our Winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects to inspire each other! Today is the Day 7 and I have another fun coffee card to share with you!

Here’s the details about the blog hop party:

Where: Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

Date: Friday, Dec 8 – Friday, Dec 15

When: 6:00 am Pacific (9:00 am EST)

Special Events:

December 13th – National Cocoa Day

December 15th – International Tea Day

Let’s gather all your coffee/tea/cocoa supplies and get crafty for this fun blog hop and link up party. It will be so much fun, lots of inspirations, and also… TONS OF PRIZES to win!

Today’s card I created using the Coffee Love Stamp Set and Happy Art Stamp Set from Precious Remembrance Shop.

The paper and ink pads are from Close To My Heart. We have also a Super Sponsor from Close To My Heart. Check out Chris Franco’ CTMH website for beautiful CTMH Collections!

I stamped the cup on the Snowhaven patterned paper (retired paper) with Black Ink pad. And the stamped one more time on a white cardstock piece. Then I fussy cut the whole cup from the patterned paper, and the lid and sleeve from the white cardstock. I added the lid and sleeve on the cup with adhesive. Then using Mini MISTI, I stamped the sentiment with Cranberry Ink Pad on the sleeve. Then I added some black fun foam on the back of the card.

For the background, I stamped the images with Mini MISTI. I stamped the scribble image with Slate Ink Pad. I stamped the triangles with Glacier Ink Pad, and the triangle outline images with Cranberry Ink Pad.

Then I added the cup on the card with adhesive. The fun foam makes it pop up just like using 3D foam tape. I added some silver star sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, who is also one of the Super Sponsors.

I stamped the line border from Coffee Love Stamp Set with Glacier Ink Pad using clear acrylic block. With Clear Stamp, you can stretch the stamp like this one. The line border stamp is not long enough for card size, I stamped it and then extended the line with second stamping next to it.

And my clean-and-simple coffee card is done 🙂 I hope you can enjoy it today. If you have not yet join this blog hop party, you still have time to link up your project at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog until December 15, mid night Pacific time. Cannot wait to see your projects!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a fabulous caffeinated day!

Winter 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 6

National Cocoa Day

Hello everyone… Welcome to the Winter 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 6! Today we celebrate the National Cocoa Day! I believe we – coffee/tea/cocoa loving cardmakers/papercrafters – have been waiting for this moment 😀 This is the time of the year we share our Winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects to inspire each other!

Here’s the details about the blog hop party:

Celebrating National Cocoa day today I created my cocoa shaker card using the Christmas Cocoa stamp set from Joy Clair, one of the Winter Blog Hop Super Sponsors Perfect stamp set to celebrate this special Cocoa Day, don’t you think? 🙂

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set directly on the card with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink Pad.

I create the shaker frame using 2 sizes of Rectangle Dies from Our Daily Bread Designs, also one of the Blog Hop Super Sponsors. I cut out a watercolor paper that I already added some watercolor paints splatters on it. I added the acetate plastic with ScorPal Double Sided Tape.

For the filler, I mixed some of the Christmas shaped sequins from WOW! American Crafts and some clear jumbo glitter that I have in stash.

I added the shaker window frame on the card with some fun foam and double sided tape.

Next, I stamped the 2 cups from Christmas Cocoa stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad. I heat embossed the snowflakes on them with mixture of white embossing powder and holographic glitter embossing powder. After that I colored the cups with Arteza Real Brush Pens and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Brush Pen. Don’t you love the sparkle and glitter on them? 🙂

Once they dried, I fussy cut them with micro-tip scissors. And I used craft knife to cut the inside of the cup handles.

For the marshmallow and foam, I added some DecoArt Snow Writer paste on them for extra texture and puffy look. I added the cups on the card, the smaller cup with liquid adhesive and the taller one with fun foam tape.

I stamped the candy canes with Red Rhubbarb Memento DewDrop ink and color it with Arteza Real Brush Pen, fussy cut them, and then tucked them under the cups.

That’s all my card today… I hope you all can enjoy your hot cocoa and making some pretty things today!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Color By Faith: Born Is The King and Send Me Projects

Hello everyone… I am back with my second post today. And I have 2 projects I would like to share with you that I created using Joy Clair – Color By Faith Bible Journaling Stamp Collection.

I share more details how I created these 2 projects over Joy Clair Blog today. First is a set of cards that I created using Born Is The King stamp set.

I tied each set with the twine. This also can be a great gift for teachers, don’t you think? I hope these projects give you some ideas for this Christmas Holiday 🙂

My second project is a Bible journaling page using the Send Me stamp set. I used my new ESV Psalms Journaling Bible. It is a gift from a friend. I am so very thankful for this gift!

This passage describes the greatness of God compare to the idols. Non of the idols can compare to the power of the Living God. He is the one who creates the world and his glory displayed in this world. We all can see it plainly with our eyes. We only need to aware of His presence in our lives.

God himself always will reveal Himself and His glory through his creations, including us!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. May you all have a wonderful day!
