Have a Brew-tiful Day Card by Diane Morales

Have a Brew-tiful Day!

We're staring Monday out with two of our favorite things: Coffee & Cats! Diane has created an adorable card that features both, sure to brighten your monday! 

This adorable card features the big image of kitties and coffee mugs from our Caffeinated Cats Stamp Set. This image is sized to fit the whole card front and Diane colored mugs in tons of fun playful colors! She colored all the kitties in neutral shades of gray and they look so perfect peeking out behind all the colors! 

For her card she cut out a scallop edged frame using our Frames & Flags Die Set to frame the image. On top of that she used our Basic Frames Die Set with our Bright Basics Paper Pad to cut out the fun blue pattern with tiny hearts. These two dies layer perfectly together and create a fabulous background for the kitties. Then she cut fussy around the image she had colored of the kitties and layered it onto her card. 

The finishing touch is the sentiment "Have a Brew-tiful Day!" from our Time For Coffee Stamp Set. This message was stamped onto a banner that was die cut using our Banner Duo Die Set. 

We hope you have this fun inspiration has perked you up today! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project. 

Something to Perk Up Your Day Card by Samantha VanArnhem

Perk up your Day with Cute Kitties!

Are you feeling tired today? We hope that this adorable card by Samantha will perk you up! Or at least get your creativity energized! This adorable card features the image of kitties playing in the big stack of mugs from the Caffeinated Cats Stamp Set. She colored the mugs with a minimal color palette, using only shades of blue. Then she added the neutral browns for the kitties and coffee! Doesn't this look beautiful!? Sometimes using less colors can achieve a stunning result! 

This image is sized just right to fill your whole card front and it also fits perfectly inside the scalloped frame from the Frames & Flags Die Set, which she cut out in dark blue to match her mugs. Then she added the sentiment, also from the Caffeinated Cats Stamp Set, stamped onto the banner that was also cut out using the  Frames & Flags Die Set. 

You could use this technique to create a whole series of cards in different color palettes. Then you can choose the favorite color of the recipient you will be sending the card to! How fun is that!? 

Thanks, Sam, for the fun idea today! To say hello to her and see more of her beautiful creations you can visit Samantha over on her blog, Sam Van Designs!

A Birthday Brew for You Card by Larissa Heskett

Birthday Brew!

Today we have a fun coffee themed card by Larissa that will steal the hearts of cat lovers! She used the big image of kitties from our Caffeinated Cats Stamp Set, stamping the image and coloring the kitties in sepia tones. Then she cut the image out into a coffee mug shape. Who would love a mug like this? I sure would! So cute! She added it to her card, layering it over a cluster of lovely sunflowers that were stamped using our Sunflower Days Stamp Set. She colored the flowers in lovely fall hues and added some texture to the flower centers. She cut the flowers out using our Sunflower Days Die Set and added them to her card behind the mug. For a finishing touch to the coffee theme she used the "a birthday brew just for you" sentiment from our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set. The whole image was framed using a postage edged panel that was die cut using our Framework Die Set.

Here is a close-up so you can see all the beautiful details:
