Coffee Lovers Blog Hop repurposed coffee card

My electric co-op  sent this card with my November bill. I really liked the teal cardstock and knew I would use it on a card.

I used 
ARTplorations
preview-fairytaleforest
and
CUTplorations
CUTplorations-coffee-preview





The base of the card was a mono printed piece. I thought that the teal and gold would look good with the strips of the repurposed card. The little wooden cup was painted with teal and gold paint. I think the little glittery snowflakes finishes it an gives it an elegant feel.

I hope you were inspired by my card.

I made the bottom tag using white cardstock and teal paint and my gelli plate. I then covered it with lace. The top tag was made with scraps from several mono printed projects. I tore the scraps and glued them to a piece of white cardstock. I then embossed and used gold metallic rub. The tea cups were cut out of scraps of mono printed projects. You can see the stencil I used on the bottom cup. I added a gold glitter snowflake. 

I hope you are inspired by my project.

Snowflake double tag

This is Tuxedo. The newest member of our family. Don't you love his little goatee? My daughter said he is a hipster kitty.

Here is a double snowflake card that I made for this week's Splitcoast Stampers MIX-ability challenge. 
SNOWFLAKES

 I started by putting white acrylic paint on my gel press.

 How it looked after I brayered the white paint.
I next dropped dots of ink on top of the paint. I have found that if I put a layer of paint down then the ink it makes a nicer print. 
 The brayered ink layer on top of white paint layer.

I opened an embossing folder and pressed into the ink and paint on the gel press. Making sure I put the side down that had the raised texture.

Before the ink and paint on the embossing folder dried, I embossed a piece of cardstock.

This is how that piece of embossed cardstock looks.

 Then I put 2 pieced of cardstock on the gel press. I cleaned my brayer on the top piece.

These are the 3 different coordinating papers that I created. I used them to make my tag. I also punched out snowflake and added sequins, jewels, twine and cheesecloth.

oversized card


My friends asked me to make a big sized card that many people could sign. I made this jumbo card. I really struggled with making a card so much bigger than I usually make, but I think it turned out.
