Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm sharing this SWEET Thanks So Much Friend Card that I've made for both the Paper Smooches Thank You Themed Challenge and the Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!! I can't believe how FAST this week is flying by!! I have SO MANY Cards to share, and just a few more days to get them ALL in!! EEKKK!! Here's my Card for today!! 

SQUEAL!! How SWEET is this Coffee Bumble Bee!! I just LOVE her!! I started by Stamping and Embossing the Image from the Caffeinated Stamp Set!! I Stamped with Vera Fine Black Onyx Ink and them Embossed with WoW Embossing Clear Gloss Powder!! 

I Colored the Image using Copic Markers 

(Wrap: Y00, Y15 & YR23   Cheeks: R00 & RV11  Cup & Lid: N6, N4, N2 & N0   Glasses: B00 & BG10)  

Then I Fussy Cut the Image out!! I Die Cut the Wings and the Antenna from the Build a Bug Die Set!! These Images are the PERFECT Scale for the Coffee Cup!! I Die Cut the Wings from some Pearlescent Vellum from Lawn Fawn and Inked them with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink using an Ink Dauber for some Dimension!! I used Black Cardstock for the Antenna layering 3 together for a sturdier thickness!! Then I adhered them to the Coffee Cup!! I added some White Gel Pen Details and then added some Foam Tape to the back for some Dimension!! I Die Cut the Friend Die from some Honeycomb Patterned Paper and then layered it with a Black Cardstock for a Shadowed effect!! I LOVE the way it POPS off the Card Panel!! I Stamped and Embossed the Thanks So Much Sentiment from the Graceful Beauties Stamp Set!! 

I wanted to add some Pops of Red to create a Visual Triangle and to make it more of a feminine Design!! I Die Cut the Bitty Bows from some Therm O Web Toner Sheets that I foiled with some Gina K Designs Radiant Red Fancy Foil!! Then I Die Cut the Flowers from some Cherry Pop Cardstock using the Mini Flowers Die Set!! I Layered the Flowers together and added some Pearls to the  Centers!! I LOVE finding CUTE ways to combine the Products in my Stash to create unexpected Cards and this one REALLY Screams Summer and just makes me SMILE!! 

I hope I've INSRED you to look at what you have a create a SWEET Critter!!
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you'll join in the FUN for SEVERAL chances to WIN!! 

Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
