Summer Coffee Card Set by Rosie Lopez

Summer Coffee House Cards!
Today we are sharing these beautiful watercolor bookmarks by Rosie!

These cards feature:

Coffee Delights Stamp Set
Coffee Delights Die Set
Natural Basics Paper Pad
Frames & Flags Die Set
Card Layout 6 Die Set
Corner Flip Die Set

Hello crafty friends! It’s Rosie and I’m back with another project. My inspiration for this set of cards was a summer coffee house on the beach. I used some muted neutrals and jewel tones with the Coffee Delights Stamp & Die Set. I started my project as I do most of my projects, by stamping out the images a couple times and then choosing a color theme and coloring everything. I like to multi stamp images so I can experiment with marker colors a bit and if I mess up my coloring, I am not stressed about it. After I color and die cut, I find coordinating pattern and solid paper. This time I used the Natural Basics Paper Pad.

 

I am really loving the Frames & Flags Die Set. It has phenomenal dies for layering and I reach for it all the time. This first set of cards is simply layers of pattern paper and cardstock. The Frames & Flags Die Set gives the coffee cups image a nice "stage" to sit on.
The next set is similar but I pulled in a little more of the muted mauve color. Again, I used that Frames & Flags Die Set with the same paper pack. I did add a heart and some brown splatter on the scalloped card but the coffee cups are the focal point.

And because I can't throw anything away, I had these two tiny coffee cups and the coffee beans left so I made them the star of the show using the Card Layout 6 Die Set. This is another card front panel die called the Corner Flip Die Set and that makes putting together a card quick and easy. The Natural Basics Paper Pad is two sided so the flipped edge looks just as good as the front. 

I hope you enjoyed all the inspiration in my post today. If you have not noticed by now, I love to mass produce cards. I use all the bits and pieces and don't like to 'save them for later'. Bits and pieces make the best clean and simple cards and always become my favorite projects of the card making session. 

 

Find me on Instagram at @pocketful_of_rosie or my blog with the same name.
Happy crafting! I'm going back to dreaming of opening a beach-front coffee house that has a sunny craft room upstairs.

Cookies Make Everything Better Card by Amanda Wilcox

Cookies Make Everything Better!

Today we are smiles (and cookies) on this adorable card by Amanda! 

This card features the following products:

Newton's Cookie Jar Stamp Set

Newton's Cookie Jar Die Set

Natural Basics Paper Pack

Amanda started by stamping that sweet kitty peeking out of the cookie jar from the Newton's Cookie Jar Stamp Set. She colored the image in soft neutral colors, matching the colors to our Natural Basics Paper Pack. 

This set has several fun sentiments that fit on the front of the cookie jar and for her card Amanda chose "cookies make everything better." She also stamped and colored some cookies, adding gloss to the chocolate chips! 

Amanda used two different striped papers from the Natural Basics Paper Pack. She cut one stripe vertically and one hoizontally to add onto her card. A few heart embellishments and some twine finish out the fun layout! 

This card would be perfect to send someone a smile, especially if they need a bit of cheer. Even better, send it along with some cookies! 

We hope you enjoyed this tasty card today! To see more of Amanda's work you can visit her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Have a Bee-utiful Day! Card by Amanda Wilcox

Have a BEE-utiful Day!

Today we are sharing a super cute bee themed card by Amanda featuring our Beekeeper Newton Stamp Set! 

For this sweet card Amanda starts out by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from the beekeeper set. She stamps multiples of the honey jars and bees so that she has extras for her card. She colors all the image in soft neutral tones to match the Natural Basics Paper Pad that she is planning on using. Pairing your images with a paper pad can make chosing a color palette so much easier! 

For her card layout she uses our A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set. She cut it out once from white to use as the outside border. Then she used the same die with the heart patterned papers from our Natural Basics Paper Pad. She added the die cut pieces to a white card base with dimensional adhesive. 

Once the background was complete she added all the little images from the Beekeeper Newton Stamp Set, putting some into each die cut shape. She also added the sentiment, embossed in white onto a black cardstock banner that was cut out using our Basic Frames Die Set. 

We think this card is BEE-utiful! How about you?

To celebrate National Coffee Day I am sharing a set of coffee themed cards that I created:

To create this card set I started out with our Natural Basics Paper Pad and Fractured Card Layout Die Set.

I chose four patterns from the paper and cut them out using the Fractured Card Layout Die Set. I used the same die set again on brown and white to create the inside frame and the white centers.

Now I had four perfect spots to add in coffee themed sentiments and images!

Card 1:

This card uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set.

Card 2:

This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 3:

This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 4:

This card also uses the coffee grinder image and sentiment from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

I've also created a video sharing how I created these cards!

I absolutely adore how this turned out! Here are images of the products that I used today:

Lilac Thank You Card by Diane Morales

 

Thank You for Being So Kind!

Today we are sharing a beautiful floral thank you card by Diane! 

Diane features the pretty blooms from our Lilac Stamp Set. She stamps and colored two blooms with shades of purple and green and cut them out using the coordinating Lilac Die Set. She also stamped and colored two little butterflies using the same stamp and die set. 

For her card background she uses our Fractured Card Layout Die Set. She uses our Natural Basics Paper Pad to cut out the striped pieces, turning the paper to get striped in different directions. She cuts it a second time with gray paper for the inside frame. Then, she cuts out the center using white paper to make a spot to stamp her sentiment. This die set really makes a fun background easy. All you have to do is cut it out a few times with different papers!

 

 

We hope you enjoyed this floral card today! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project. 

 

 

Happy Fall Y'all Card by Farhana Sarker

Happy Fall Y'all!

Today we are getting the mood for fall crafting with this adorable card by Farhana!

To create this fun card she features our awesome new Fractured Card Layout Die Set. She cut the die out twice, once with the gingham patterned paper from our Natural Basics Paper Pad and once with kraft colored cardstock that had been stenciled with our Falling Leaves Stencil. We love this idea of mixing and matching stenciled patterns with our patterned papers! 

After her background was assembled she added the image using our Fall Harvest Stamp Set. This fun stamp set features several images that can fit above the basket and she chose to add the cute puppy with a pile of leaves. The images were cut out using the Fall Harvest Die Set. To finish out the card she stamped the sentiment into the center panel. So adorable!  

Are you ready for fall crafting yet? We hope this card will inspire you!
