And here is my card for this hop that I made this slimline bubble tea card using the fun Summertime Sips Stand-Alone Die Set for the vocal point bubble tea cup on the card. I use one of the sentiments from the A Latte Love Stamp Set.

I used some of the bubble white circles that I cut out using the circle dies come with the die set and the Crafty Roast Clay Coffee Bean Embellishments. I LOVE that coffee bean!

For the watercolor background, I used smooshing with stamping block technique and Catherine Pooler Ink Pads. It is a fun way of adding watercolor wash on the background card.

I hope you all enjoy this bubble tea slimline card today. Now… it is time to hop along over my friends’ blogs. Have fun and wonderful day!

Colorful or Monochrome, Which Is Your Style?

Hello crafty friends! I hope you all have a good week so far… This week, I had these three projects to share with you all. For me, either colorful or monochrome, they both are different style that you can do in cardmaking. How about you? Which one is your style?

First project is these CAS kraft cards that I created using the Inspirational #5 Clear Stickers, Watercolor ATC Journaling Cards, Bloomfully – Faith Stamp Set, Blossom Sprays #1 Stamp Set, and Blossom Sprays #3 Stamp Set. The main key of this style is that you need to pick an image that will stand out as vocal point of the card even when it is in black and white or monochrome color, against the colorful background. I am sharing more about how I created these cards at STAMPlorations blog.

My second card this week is this black and white slimline card that I created using I used the Strawberry Vine Stamp Set (coordinating die set is available, too), Textures (Totally Tracy) Stamp Set, and Rectangle Slimline Framelit Dies. I never thought to use a Spring or Summer theme stamp set to create a black and white or monochrome style. But after I put this card together, I like how it turned out. The strawberry branch has its own “wow” even it was not colored. I added extra interest and texture on the background using the texture stamp set and some sequins to embellish this card. You can head over to Dare 2B Artzy blog to read more about this monochrome slimline card.

And for my third project, it is this colorful mixed media coffee tag that I shared at Coffee Loving Cardmaking blog this week. This cup of bloom mixed media tag I created using an old postcard that I reused as the tag base. I used the Stitched Tags Nesting CUTplorations Die Set, STAMPlorations Coffee Spring/Summer Kit, Make Marks 6 ARTplorations Stencil, Brave One Stamp Set, Gelatos, Pigment inks, watercolor pencils, glitter brush, acrylic paint spray.

I hope this week projects give you extra ideas to create and have fun inside your craft room. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Have wonderful day!

D2BA | You’re Brew-tiful CAS Card

Hello artzy friends. Today, I am up at Dare 2B Artzy blog sharing this freshly brewed coffee card.

On my coffee card today I use the Perfect Blend Stamp Set, coordinating Coffee Cup Die Set, Hug In A Mug Stamp Set, Trellis Die, All A Bloom Paper Pack (also available in the All The Buzz Collection Variety Pack).

For the background, I used the Brutus Monroe – Ice Cream Embossing Collection Trio. I melted each embossing powder color with craft heater, and then I trimmed it. After that, I cut out a white cardstock with Trellis Die and I added it on top of the embossed background panel using glue pen. I added them on a light grey mat with 3D foam tape, and I added the whole background panel on a white card with permanent adhesive runner.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad on a white cardstock, then I dried the ink with craft heater. I trimmed the sentiment into a sentiment label and I added it on the card with permanent adhesive.

I stamped the coffee cup and steam image from Perfect Blend Stamp Set on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and then I dried the ink with craft heater. I cut out the cup and steam with the coordinating Coffee Cup Die Set. I added them on the card with 3D foam tape.

That’s my card for today. Hope you all have a brew-tiful day. Thank you for stopping by!
