How about a Coffee Break Card

Finally broke out my Coffee Break Suite to do a little card making.  This set is so yummy I think it will be very popular. This would also make a great birthday card with a gift card from your favorite coffee shop included.  I might use this for graduation cards next year.  New college freshmen love to hang out in coffee shops.  I guess it make them feel cool or whatever the current term is for coolness.

Card Measurements:

Early Espresso Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Soft Sky Layer  5 3/8 x 4 1/8

Crumb Cake Layer 5 1/4 x 4

Coffee Break DSP Strips 6 x 1/2, 6 x 3/4, 6 x 1 1/2

Whisper White, Early Espresso and Soft Sky scraps

 



---

TIP: Used the shaving cream and Early Espresso re-inker on Crumb Cake cardstock to make the paper for the cups.  You can find several videos on Pinterest and You Tube explaining how to use shaving cream and re-inkers to create your own DSP.  I am calling mine Espresso Swirl.

Card Sketch Monday: Delightful Daisy DSP again!!

Each month I participate in at least two card sketch swaps on Swap-Bot.  If you like swapping just about anything, Swap-Bot is the place to go.   I have swapped cards, tea, chocolate, fabric, envelopes, stamps, and dioramas just to name a few things.   Here is a card I made for a swap earlier this month using Freshly Made Sketches archived sketch #59 for inspiration.   Of course, I had to use some Delightful Daisy DSP, my absolute favorite.

Card Measurements:

Night of Navy Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Daffodil Delight Layer  5 3/8 x 4 1/8

Night of Navy Layer 5 1/4 x 4

Delightful Daisy DSP 1 3/4 x 4

Delightful Daisy DSP  1 1/4 square (x4)

 

 



---

TIP:  I used the Delightful Daffodil layer for the scalloped squares accenting the DSP on the car front.  Great way to save on cardstock.

 

---

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  I hope you enjoyed my version of the Freshly Made Sketches design #59.  I really like Night of Navy and Daffodil delight together,  they make a perfect pair.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #241: Delightful Daisy DSP

Hello and welcome to this week's DOStamper Stars Thursday "Home Sweet Home Challenge" #241 featuring Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  So exactly what is a "Home Sweet Home Challenge"?  The group host post a home décor picture from a magazine or one-line ad for us to use as a guide.  We can use any element, color, theme or an object, in the photo for inspiration. Can you tell which element inspired me?

Card Measurements:

Old Olive Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Daffodil Delight Layer 3 x 4 3/4

Old Olive Layer 2 7/8 x 3 5/8

Delightful Daisy DSP 2 3/4 x 3 1/2

Whisper White scrap for sentiment 

 

---

TIP:  When using  DSP as the focal point, as I did here.  Be careful to choose the best image to highlight on your card. Think before you cut to minimize was.   It took me a few minutes to decide where to cut my DSP.  I think I got it right, looks like I could have stamped it myself.

---

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  I just love this card, so simple to create in a time crunch.  The Old Olive and Daffodil Delight are the perfect pair for the Delightful Daisy DSP.  So glad I purchased extras packages of this fantastic paper.  FYI: Stampin Up Bonus Days are back, but only for a few more days. Your opportunity to earn Bonus Day Coupon ends at 11:50 (MT) July 31st.   Earn in July, Spend in August.

Card Sktech Monday: Lots of Layering Love!!

Well, we have had temperatures over a 100 for the last 4 days and more to come this week.  Hopefully, it won't burn up my new lawn.  So what is a girl to do when it is so hot outside?  Stay in the cool and make cards.  For my Card Sketch Monday I decided to play with Angie Juda's Paper and Ink Sketches #20.  You can find Angie's sketch on her Facebook group  page.  This time around I decided to focus on an entire stamp set, Layering Love.  I made four cards using the 2017-2018 In-Colors, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide. I love the message from this set, these days we all can use a bit more love. 

Card Measurements:

Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

DSP Layer 5 1/4 x 4

TIEF Strip 5 1/4 x 2

Whisper White

Tranquil Tide

Powder Pink

Fresh Fig

Berry Burst

 

---

TIP: The Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide ender strips were trimmed to 1 3/4 inches wide.  It looked better with the smaller die cut sentiments. 

---

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  Layering Love is a great stamp set that makes a big statement.   I hope you enjoyed viewing four creations using the Stitched Shapes, Layering Ovals, Layering Squares and Layering Circles Framelits.   FYI: Stampin Up Bonus Days are back for the month of July. Earn in July, Spend in August. Check it out here.

Card Sketch Monday: Artistically Asian with FMS 296

I love the Artistically Asian stamp set.  It is a gorgeous and simplistic, that I think does not get a lot of love from stampers.  It is still available in the current SU catalog and I want to highlight it this week on my blog starting with Freshly Made Sketches challenge #296.

  Card Measurements:

 Pool Party base 5 1/2 x 4 1/

Pool Party layer 3 5/8 x 3 5/8

Whisper White layer  3 1/2 x 3 1/2

Dazzling Diamonds strip 1 x 4

 

---

Technique Tip: Stamp off Work of Art  background stamp once before stamping onto the Whisper White layer.  Stamping from bottom to top three time without re-inking allowing the layers to get lighter.   The top stamp is barely visible in the picture.

Watercolor Wash Card: Window Shopping Stamp Set

Each year Stampin Up offers an Incentive Trip to Demonstrators that have accumulated a specific number of points based on sales.  The trips include airfare, accommodations, food, and some gifts.  This year's incentive trip was to Thailand so I chose colors that made me think of Asia and reminds me of pictures I have seen of Thailand in books and on TV.  I think hot, steamy and warm colors, like Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo with some Copper Foil for a bit of opulence.  One day I will be making that trip, I am shooting for the 2019 cruise of the Greek Isles.  

  Card Measurements:

 Melon Mambo base 5 1/2 x 4 1/

Crushed Curry layer 5 1/4 x 4

Shimmery White 3 3/4 x  5

Copper Foil paper 4 x 4

Whisper White  4 x 4



---

Technique Tip: Shimmery White paper can be treated like watercolor paper.  I used my aqua painter with Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango inks to create this water colored background.  Be sure to spritz the paper with a bit of water before you start, it helps to spread the colors.   Let dry and then place under a heavy book to flatten.  The shimmer of the paper is still visible through the ink, I really love this Shimmery White cardstock.

 

 

I chose the sentiment from the Window Shopping stamp set because that is what Stampin Up is to me a great friend.  I have meet some fantastic and talented people.  It is a great community of folks that love to Create, Share and Inspire each other.
