CAS-ual Fridays Stamps & Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

HELLO!! 

I'm here today to showcase the NEW CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Coffee Chipboard!! These FUN Elements are PERFECT for all sorts of uses!! Here's a look at the NEW Coffee Chipboard!! 

Aren't they FUN!! I'm also joining in the FUN for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! Here's what I've created for today using them!!

I Started by Mixing together some Therm O Web Metallix Gel in Aged Copper and some Gina K Designs Glitz Glitter Gel in Gold on a Paper Plate!! 

Here's a look at what the Gel looks like once its mixed together!! 

Then I Sprayed the backside of my By the Beans Stencil with some Pixie Spray and adhered it to my Cardstock!! I then took my Stencil Pal and applied a Thin Layer of the Gel Mixture over my Cardstock!! I didn't want to waste any of the Mixture so I applies the leftover to another piece of Cardstock using the same method!! I was able to get 2 Stenciled Card Panels out of the Mixture I created!! I set the Panels aside to Dry while I worked on the rest of my Card Elements!! 

Once the Stenciled Panel was Dry, I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters foe some extra Texture and Contrast!! I Die Cut a Circle for the Focal Element and Inked in with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink!! Then I Die Cut the Coffee Die 6 Times from some White Cardstock!! I adhered them all together using some Therm O Web Ultra Bond Adhesive and then I Inked the edges of the Coffee Cup with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! I adhered all of the Inside pieces of the Coffee Cup together minus 2 of them and Inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink!! I added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen on top of the Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then I added some Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew over the Top to look like the Coffee inside of my Coffee Cup!! I LOVE the way it looks!!

I wanted a Raedunn inspired Coffee Cup so I painted the NEW Coffee Chipboard piece using some Black Soot Distress Paint and I also added some Barn Red Distress Paint to several of the Heart Pieces in the some Set!! Once they were Dry I adhered the Coffee Word to the front of my Coffee Cup Die and then I added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen on top of the Painted Hears and coated them with some Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew for a FUN Sparkly and Shiny finish!! I adhered the Hearts to my Card Panel using some Zots Bling Dots and I adhered the Coffee Cup Panel with some Therm O Web Foam Squares to my Card Panel!!

Then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Stay Strong Stamp Set!! During these times I thought this was a PERFECT sentiment to use and to send to a Coffee Friend that I haven't been able to see in awhile to let her know that I MISS our Coffee Dates and Conversation!! 

So there you have it my 1st Coffee Card for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! I hope you'll join in on the FUN for LOTS of chances to WIN!! Plus there's a SALE going on at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store!!

Paper Smooches "Anything Goes" Challenge ~ Rainbow Foiled Daisy Card!!

Pin It

HELLO!!
Welcome to the Second Challenge of the New Year with Paper Smooches!! For our second January challenge, we have a fan favorite- ANYTHING GOES!! 

I'm READY for SPRING, so I decided to create a BEAUTIFUL Rainbow Daisy Card using some of my FAVORITE Paper Smooches Products!! Here's my Card for the Second Challenge!! 

I started by Die Cutting the "You are a Blessing Die" from some Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I colored the Letters using Copic Markers in a Rainbow!! Using the N0 and N2 for the shading on the rest of the sentiment to help make them POP too! I then used Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to coat the BLESSING letters to add some dimension and to make them Shine!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! 

For the Daisy I used the NEW Paper Smooches Sunflower Dies!! First I foiled some Therm O Web Toner Sheets with the EXCLUSIVE Rainbow Bright Taylored Expressions Deco Foil Transfer Sheets!! If you LOVE Rainbows this Foil is a MUST have and trust me you'll want to add it to your stash for ALL things Rainbow a FUN!! I then Die Cut it 2 times from the Larger Die and once from the Smaller Die trying the Cut the Colors in a Similar way so I could keep the Rainbow some what in order as I Layered my Flower together!! For the Daisy Center I Die Cut the Base Circle from some Yellow Cardstock and then Die Cut the Top Layer from some Cardstock that I coated with some Therm O Web Gold Glitz Glitter and let Dry!! Once Dry its a STUNNING Glitter Cardstock PERFECT for Die Cutting!! I inked it with some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink!! Then used some Therm O Web Mini Bling Zots to adhere the Daisy together making sure to keep the colors in order so my Rainbow would still be visible!! I then adhered some Emerald Green Deco Foil Flock to a piece of Green Cardstock using aome Therm O Web Easy Cut adhesive sheets!! I wanted the Leaves to be Flocked and have that Velvety Texture!! So I Die CUt them from the Flock and then used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles and Vintage Photo to add some Dimension to the Leaves!! I adhered them under the Daisy with some more Mini Bling Zots!! Then adhered the Sentiment and adhered the panel onto a Scalloped Frame die cut from some Fog Simon Says Stamp Cardstock!! I LOVE the way it turned out and I can't wait to see what you create!!  

Here's how to play along!!
