Sending Latte Love

I finally had a chance to make some cards using the beautiful digi stamp from Verse Stamps. You can download it HERE (or click the picture) for free and limited time. So download today if you can!

Here are my cards:

On this first card, I colored the images using the coloring technique using crayons I learned from The Stamp Nation. It is a fun technique to color.

Second card, I embossed a Kraft cardstock using the Fall leaves embossing folder from the Paper Studio I got at Hobby Lobby last year. Adding some Orange Baker’s Twine and I used Coloring Pencils to color the image.

My third card is pretty simple, too. I embossed the kraft cardstock, add the sentiment with Orange Baker’s Twine and I used my Sharpie markers to color the image.

It was fun making these cards and coloring the images using 3 different coloring medium. I probably will try different way to color them in the future.

Don’t forget to link up your Coffee projects with Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. It is until October 2nd!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop & Giveaway

Happy Fall Y’all!!! The Autumn season officially started on September 23rd according to the calendar.

This is the season where we can enjoy the beautiful colorful leaves and cooler, crisp air. And it is also the time for…

The Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop starts from today, Friday, September 25 through Friday, October 2, 2015.

Since it is Fall Bloghop, so theme of your project(s) must be Fall. You can create any project(s) that has coffee, or tea, and/or cocoa on it.

You need to link up your NEW project(s) using the Inlinkz button at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog from 6 am Pacific Time (9 am EST) on Friday, September 25 through Friday, October 2nd at 11:59 pm Pacific Time (2:59 am EST on 10/3/2015).

There are no limits to the number of entries, the more the merrier. Please remember to keep the projects with a FALL theme and NO BACKLINKING, please! Your project (s) has to be a new.

Kicking off the first day of this Fall blog hop, here’s my card:

I always always love the colors of Fall leaves. And that wanna try to jump into a pail of leaves! Wish I was this coffee cup 😉

I heat-embossed the leaves with Gold and then color them using the new color ink pads from Close To My Heart: Saffron and Pemogranate. Starting with the Pemogranate at the bottom and them the Saffron from the top of the leaves, you can see when they mix in the middle it turns into a beautiful orange. I fussy cut them and added them on the card using glue dots. Glue dots give extra dimension but not too thick like 3D foam tape, also they quick and stronger than using adhesive runner on that woodgrain embossed background.

Giveaways!!!

I am giving away a pack of prize from Close To My Heart

There are new Treat of Friendship stamp set, new Mini Calendar stamp, Paper Packet samplers, Black Mini Pigment Ink Pad, Cocoa Mini Pigment Ink Pad, Wood Veneer, and some extra stuff I will throw inside the package for you 😊
