You’re Like A Cup Of Tea

Happy National Tea Day! I love drinking tea since I was little and there are many kind of tea from the country where I came from. My favorite tea is green tea leaves.

Inspired by this tea day, I made this card:

I stamped the image from Treats of Friendship stamp set on a piece of Watercolor Paper with Archival Black Exclusive Inks Pad, fussy cut it, and watercolored it using Pearlescents paint. I heat-embossed the steam then added the cut image with 3D foam. Then on a piece of vellum paper, I heat embossed the sentiment from thecsame stamp set.

My card is pretty simple and quick 🙂

Warmest Winter Wishes

Happy National Cocoa Day! Let’s grab a cup of Hot Chocolate and stay warm 🙂

Today I made these 2 cards are inspired by Hot Chocolate color and simple style.

I have this Stampin’ Up Hello December Stamp Set and the sentiment from Concord & 9th – Mittens & Mugs is just perfect macth.

I stamped the mugs using my MISTI with Chocolate Pigment Mini Ink Pad (CTMH). It is very easy to do multiple stamping with the MISTI.

For my card 2, I stamped the mugs and fussy cup them to make as the card border. And added the panel on a glitter cardstock with 3D foam.

Sending A Good Cheer

Christmas season is the season when we can send someone a good cheer. I know for sure that this will bless them and brings joy to them.

Today I am sharing a Christmas card using STAMPlorations stamp set and Paper Smooches.

I created a triangle stencil and coffee cups from a Post It notes and used it to create that tree of cups and hearts from STAMPLorations – Sketchy Coffee Cups stamp set 🙂

First I added the Post It stencil (or mask) on a 3.25″ x 5.5″ White Cardstock, make sure it sits in the middle of the cardstock and then I stamped them using CTMH Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pads: Cotton Candy, Honey, Pear, Lagoon and Gypsy.

I stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches – Christmas Sampler stamp set using Pear Exclusive Inks Pad as the tree trunk.

When the images dried completely, I put the tree stencil/mask again and added some sparkle and shine on it using Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush. I generously brushed the glitter all over and look at that sparkle!! 😀

I finished the card by adding some small gold sequins I got from Hobby Lobby and a star wood chip from Frackled Fawn on top of the tree. Then final step is to add the finished panel on the card base where I had some American Crafts Glitter Ribbon on the sides. I used some thin 3D foam tape.

So that is my finished glitter and sparkle tree of cups of good cheer to share with you today.

I link up my card today at these link ups:

I used Verve Stamps free digital stamp. I printed them on CTMH Watercolor cardstock, watercolored cup using CTMH Watercolor Pencils and wet it using watercolor brush. Usually I would clear embossed the image, since these images are print out, so I was super careful when I wet the colors.

I think this card a some bling, so I added a gold snowflake with clear gems from a pack I got from Walmart.

There is a gift card holder inside the card for sharing kindness this month with someone 🙂

The papers I used is Sparkle and Shine pack from CTMH (retired). And I stamped the inside card using one of the sentiments from Bright Baubles stamp set from Neat and Tangled with Juniper Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (CTMH).

Merry and Bright: Recycled, Glittered Christmas Card

I found a cute sample card on Martha Stewart magazine. I love the cooper leaves border and I thought it can be recycled of throwing it away 😀

I cut a piece of DCWV Glitter Cardstock Matstack that match the border color and glued on top of the commercial in the middle of it.

Then I cut the Merry & Bright from Holiday Sentiments cutting file from JustNick out of Canson watercolor paper, then added some mint color from Pearlescent paint, let it dry and then added on the glitter cardstock. While drying the paint, I accidentally blew the dot for letter i, so I replaced it with a clear gem 😀

Last step is add the finished panel on the card base. And it’s done.

I love how we can be creative by turning a commercial card into a handmade card. It’s a way to recycle.

Today’s card I link up at Virginia’s View Challenge #21 – All About Glitter. This is her last challenge this year and she will take a break. You can read more about it on her blog post. I know many cardmakers love her challenge. I hope you’ll join her last challenge this year and have fun!
