Hello everyone!! 

Happy New Year!! Okay, it is January 10th but for everyone that follows the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog, we have had a little break. Today we are BACK with a fabulous new challenge. It is a theme challenge this week. Can you guess what the theme is by the card I created?

The Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #535 is to use the theme of Coffee or Tea Time!!!

I chose to create a card using the coffee theme. I pulled out some never been used stamps and dies by Altenew to create my card. I used the Coffee Lovers Stamp and Die Set for the images on my card. I have had this set for YEARS but just never used it!!!

The background is from a panel that was on my desk. My goal for this year is to try to use up what I have die cut and made already, if I can!!

The label die cut and scallop frame are from my stash as well. The heart is from another card that I created over break and is from the Heart Donut Builder Dies from Kat Scrappiness. 

That is all form me today. Please hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Blog and play along with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Day 3 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps April 2020 Release-Coffee Beans Stencil and Coffee'isms Stamp Set

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope you are all staying healthy. 

I am popping in with another project that showcasing the NEW release form CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Today I used the new Coffee Beans Stencil and the Coffee'isms Stamp Set to create a fun coffee themed card.

I started off by stenciling the coffee beans onto a piece of white cardstock. 

I cut a half inch off the top and added it to a brown card base.

I then stamped the sentiment using the Coffee'isms Stamp Set. 

I masked off pieces so that I could stamp part of the sentiment in red and part of it in brown.

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using foam adhesive. 

The card needed something else so I die cut a red coffee cup using the CAS-Fridays Coffee Cup Fri-dies. I was so mad because after I die cut this cup, I lost the die somewhere on my desk!! I still have not been able to locate the darn thing. 

I adhered the red coffee cup underneath the sentiment block. This is one of my FAVORITE projects that I created for this whole release and I don't even like coffee!!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: May Your cup Runneth Over

Hey everyone!! I hope you all are having a FABULOUS weekend!!

Today I am sharing a card I created in honor of National Coffee Day.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, in conjunction with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog for a blog hop.

I used the Coffee Cup Fri-dies to die cut three coffee cups for my card. The sentiment is from Peace, Love & Coffee stamp set.

 I layered everything over a gray, A2 card base layered with gray patterned paper that I had splattered with red and brown spray mist.

I used the Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies for the red hearts.

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Friday everyone!! I cannot believe that September is almost over!!

Today is National Coffee Day and I am here with a card that I created a card using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps as part of a Coffee Lover's Blog Hop at the Coffee Lovers Cardmakers Blog.

Hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for all the links to some fabulous cards and fun prizes!!

I created a card that would hold a gift card.

I started off stamping the background of a 5" by 11" piece of kraft card stock that I had folded down the middle using the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Peace, Love and Coffee Stamp set. I then used a corner rounder to round the edges. I inked up the edges using two types of brown Distress Ink.

Next I die cut a a tag using the Tag Buddies Fri-Dies and a blue coffee cup using the Coffee Cup Fri-Dies.

I used Distress Ink to blend brown around the edges of the tag, added a scalloped red piece of card stock to the edge and some ribbon at the top. I adhered the tag using foam adhesive. I stamped a sentiment on to the coffee cup in brown using the CAS-ual Fridays Hot Coffee stamp set. I adhered the cup over the tag. I opened the card up and used 1/4" score tape on either side of the card to make a pocket.

I set this aside and created a little insert for inside the pocket. I folded a piece of 3 1/2" by 8 1/2" piece of kraft card stock and stamped a background on the front of the pocket using the Peace, Love, and Coffee set. I then used the So Pretty stamp set for the sentiment.

I then inked up the edges of the entire panel with two colors of Distress Ink. I tucked a gift card inside and it was ready to slide into the pocket!!

Here are both the pocket and gift card insert side by side. This was so fun to make and I cannot wait to send it to my friend!!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a fabulous Friday!!
