Today I am super excited wanna a news with you. I am a guest at Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog. I’d love to thank Amy and the team for giving me an opportunity to share a little be about me there 🙂 I hope you’ll visit and leave some love.

And more coffee card today I made using this amazing coffee bundle set from Tim Holtz/Sizzix that I got at Michael’s store.

I embossed a piece of Canson Watercolor paper. Then on the Craft Mat, I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink and sprayed some water. Using some waterbrush, I mixed the ink and water and then I added the embossed paper in. And I used the waterbrush to add some more ink to cover the paper evenly.

For the cup and sentiment, I heat embossed them using Super Fine Ranger White Embossing Powder and then die cut them with the matching dies using my WRMk Evolution Advanced machine.

I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink using make up sponge and smeared it around the images using my finger while the ink still wet for some shadowing.

I made a bow out of American Crafts twine and added on the cup using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue. And I finished the card with some sparkle gems.

Today I am sharing my second card for Spring Coffee Loving Bloghop. Another clean and simple card with embossing and watercoloring 🙂

I die-cut Canson Watercolor Paper using Fancy Frame Dies (Craftin Desert Diva) with my Evolution Advanced Diecutting Machine (WRMK) for the card mats. Then I added some watercolor paint (CTMH) on the scallop stitched mat for the first layer.

Using my MISTI, I stamped the Coffee Side by Side (Unity Stamp Co.) with Cocoa Mini Pigment Ink (CTMH).

After I heat embossed the images with Clear Embossing Powder (CTMH) and Craft Heater (CTMH) I colored them using Watercolor Paint (CTMH) with the smallest size from the Paintbrush set (CTMH).

I added the top layer of the mat using white fun foam and strong glue so the card will be flat and sturdy.

I got the 3 sets of new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons were on sale at Blitsy a couple of weeks ago. And today, I had a chance to create a card using some of the colors.

There are some videos tutorial and reviews on YouTube about these Distress Crayons. I learned one of the easiest way of using them is to scribble some on the craft mat and pick it up with brush.

I use Unity Stamp Co. – February 2016 Kit Of The Month. First, I cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ Canson Watercolor Paper and stamping the flower using Memento Black Ink using my MISTI and dried the ink using Craft Heater (CTMH).

On the Craft Mat (Ken Oliver), I scribbled some of the Distress Crayons and added some water using the Aquash Waterbrush (Pentel). And I started to colored the image using the brush. I cleaned the brush each time I changed color.

Using the Craft Heater I speed up the drying to make the card 😉 The sentiment I used is also from the same Unity KOTM I stamped with Black Memento Ink Pad.

I found a pretty yellow paper in my stash that I used as the background that matched with the color of the flower. Using adhesive runner, I added the pattern paper, watercolor paper and sentiment strip on the card base.

My card is finisned and I love it! I hope you like it, too 🙂 Thank you for visiting today!

And this is my first card for today:

I got the new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and decided to try on the Hero Arts – Coffee cup Rubber Stamp. So easy and fun playing with these distress crayons. I added the Vintage Photo Crayon directly on the stamp and sprayed with little bit of water. Then stamped it twice on a piece of Canson Watercolor Paper. Then I dried it with my Craft Heater (CTMH) and fussy cut them using Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors from CTMH (best scissors for fussy cutting ever!)

After cutting them, I added the first cup using adhesive runner and the second one slightly overlapping using 3D foam tape. Check out the detail:

The background card I created using stencil I cutout with Silhouette Cameo and Gelatos. I finished my card with some sequins.

I decided not to use any sentiment for this card, to have it ready for any occasions when I need it 🙂
