A Big Cup of Thanks Shaker Card by Larissa Heskett

Cup of Thanks!

Today we are sharing a beautiful shaker card by Larissa featuring our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. 

Larissa colored the sweet kitty in the coffee mug from the Newton's Mug Stamp Set. This set has several different sentiments that fit on the front of the mug and she chose to make it into a thank you by using the "big cup of thanks" sentiment. She cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set.

Next, she cut out a brown rectangle using our Basic Frames Die Set and used our Falling Leaves Stencil with white ink to add a leaf pattern onto the die cut shape. She then used it for a shaker background, adding sequins underneath a piece of acetate and stitching it all closed. She cut out a scallop edged frame using a paper from our Autumn Meows Paper Pad and cutting it with our Frames & Flags Die Set. She layered it all together and adhered it to a white card base. She added the cute kitty image on top to finish off the card. 

What an adorable thank you card!

CatPURRccino Card by Amanda Wilcox

Cat PURR-ccino!

Love coffee and cats? Then you will love this card by Amanda!

This adorable kitty themed card features the image of Newton peeking out of a giant coffee mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. This image has a blank mug but Amanda carefully masked off the edges and stamped the floral image from our Floral Roundabout Stamp Set to cover the mug in a flower pattern! Here's a closer look:

So cool! We love the idea of customizing this mug for any occasion by adding images to the front! She colored the image in fun soft colors and cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set. 

For her card base she used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out a piece of floral paper from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad and also a white scalloped frame. She layered these together to make a fun background for the mug. She also added that fun decorative square, cut from vellum, using our  Frames Squared Die Set. Love all the layers! 

To finish off this amazing card she adds the "cat PURR-ccino" sentiment from the Newton's Mug Stamp Set, adding it to the circle from the  Frames Squared Die Set. She also adds a cute clay heart embellishment and some lovely striped twine. 

We hope this project by Amanda has inspired you to look at ways to decorate your stamped images that  have large blank areas to customize your cards! Such a fun idea!

Brew-tiful Shaker Card!

Today Ellen has created a beautiful shaker card that is perfect for sending to a coffee lover! 

The fun shaker frame was cut out using our A7 Frames & Banner Die Set and the background is filled with a coffee bean patterned paper from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad. She embellishes the shaker with coffee themed images from our Love Café Stamp Set, Newton's Mug Stamp Set and Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Are you enjoying this brew-tiful project? Read on to get tips from Ellen on how she created it!

Here are some tips from Ellen on how to create this Shaker Card:

• (Left photo above): First, die cut 3 times the second largest frame from the A7 Frames & Banner Die Set (out of pattern paper, white paper and foam adhesive). Stick the foam adhesive frame on top of a card base and place the pattern paper in the open spaces
  
  
• (Right photo above): Next you add the shaker material. You cut a transparency as large as the ourside of the full sized frame.  Stick the transparency on top of the foam adhesive frame. As last step you adhere the white frame on top of the clear acetate.
  
  

Copic Colored colored images:

Here are the copic colors Ellen used to color the above images:

• Dark Brown: E79, E47, E74
• Brown: E18, E17, E15, E13

A Coffee Filled Thank You Card by Jennifer Jackson

A Big Cup of Thanks!

Hello! Jen here today with a coffee filled thanks you card! After the holidays I always need a few thank you cards to send family and friends for all the lovely gifts and treats so today I'm sharing a fun thank you card that is quick and easy to make!

For this card I started out by stamping the image of the kitty in the big mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. This is definitely one of my favorite sets because it's so easy to customize! The big mug image is blank and there are several different sentiments that fit on it. Since I needed a thank you card I used "A big cup of thanks" but you could also make this into a fun coffee or tea themed greeting. I colored the image with watercolor markers and used the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set to cut the image out. 

I knew I wanted to pair this image with some of the fun papers from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad so I flipped through the paper pad and found three patterns I liked. I trimmed them to all be 3 1/2" wide so they would fit inside the stitched edge from our Framework Die Set. 

Once this fun background was completed I cut two circles from vellum and kraft colored paper using our Circle Frames Die Set and layered those over the patterns with the kitty and mug on the top! The whole thing was layered onto a white card base. This card was super quick and easy to make and is perfect for sending a thank you, especially to someone who loves coffee!

I hope you enjoyed this project today, along with your favorite hot beverage!

Hug in a Mug Card by Larissa Heskett

Hug in a Mug!

Newton is getting ready for a cozy holiday on this card by Larissa! 

To create this gorgeous card she started by stamping the images of the big kitty in the mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set and two smaller holiday mugs from our Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set. She colored all three images in gorgeous bright holiday colors and added white gel pen details to each image. The images were cut out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set and Cup of Cocoa Die Set.

She also added in two tiny candy canes a holly burst from our A Kitten Christmas Stamp Set (cut out using the coordinating A Kitten Christmas Die Set) to add to the festive feeling!

The images were all arranged on a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set from our Meowy Christmas Paper Pad.

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

For the fun case base, she created a background pattern by repeatedly stamping the mug images from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set in black and adding black paint splatters. Some pretty red, green, and snowflake shaped embellishments finish out this amazing card!

What a gorgeous Holiday creation! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, you can visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.

Here's what I created:

To start out, I chose a few printed papers from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad that features cat and coffee themes (two of our favorites). I cut out a postage edged panel using our Framework Die Set from dark brown cardstock and then added the three strips of the patterned paper inside the frame. 

Next, I stamped the image of the big mug with the kitty peeking out of it from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. This set has a bunch of different phrases that will fit on the coffee mug front but this time I left the front blank and colored it watercolored the mug purple and the kitty a brownish gray. I stamped the duo of heart mugs from our Love Café Stamp Set and colored them in coordinating colors. When coloring the images I tried to match the colors to the papers I had chosen! Then I cut out the images using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set and Love Café Die Set. 

I arranged the mugs over my pattern filled card base, then decided I needed a circle of vellum to help soften the busy prints so I layered a circle cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set between the printed papers and the stamped images. The finishing touch is the sentiment from the Love Café Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment onto kraft colored paper and then cut it out into a banner using the banner from the Bookmark Die Set. 

I just love how this all came together! It was so much fun to mix and match our coffee themed designs together!

Fall Leaves and Pumpkin Please Card by Farhana Sarker

Pumpkins Please! 

Today we are sharing an adorable fall kitty card by Farhana! 

For this beautiful fall creation she chose to color the image of the kitty in the mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. She added a pumpkin to the center of the mug using the image from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set. She colored image using bright teal and orange to really make it pop! The kitty peeking out the top of the mug looks adorable in gray tones. The image was cut out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set. 

Here are the colors she used if you'd like to try them:

Next, she adde the sentiment from our Signs of Fall Stamp Set, embossed in gold onto a banner from our Frames & Flags Die Set. She tucked this behind the kitty image and added it to her card base. 

For the card base, she dry embossed leaves onto a white card base using our Falling Leaves Stencil. Then, she embossed the big square image from our Fall Fringe Stamp Set in gold onto vellum and carefully cut out the square. She angled it onto her card and placed the kitty in the center of the square. 

What a fun and unexpected way to combine these images together!

A Big Cup of Thanks by Amanda Wilcox

A Big Cup of Thanks!

Today we have an adorable thank you card by Amanda that features two of our favorite things: Kitties and Coffee!

For this sweet thank you she featured the kitty in the mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. This set has several fun sentiments that will fit on the front of the mug and on hers she used "A big cup of thanks", embossed in white. She colored the mug a fun rustic orange color and added fun grey spots to her white kitty! So adorable! She cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set. She also colored the smaller duo of mugs with hearts on them from our Love Café Stamp Set, coloring them in soft blues, greens and yellows. What a fabulous color combo! The smaller mugs were cut out with the coordinating Love Café Die Set. 

For the card base she cut a panel of textured neutral colored cardstock using our Framework Die Set to give it a postage stamp edge. Then she stenciled mugs onto the panel in a light gray using our Mugs Stencil. Over this panel she layered a rectangle of vellum that was cut out using the stitched rectangle from our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then the mugs were layered over the top. I love how the vellum softens the background pattern. A Little bit of twine finishes off the card. Doesn't this card have such a lovely coffee shop feel!?

Coffee + Tulips = a Perfect Spring Combination!

Today we are sharing a fun spring coffee themed card by design team member, Samantha Mann that features a big cup full of tulips! She used some creative masking to combine images from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set and our Tulips Stamp Set.

She stamped the big mug from the Newton's Mug Stamp Set and added a bit of shading along the edges to give it fun dimension. She fussy cut the image out by hand right up to the edges. Then she stamped and colored two tulip bunches using the Tulips Stamp Set. She colored the blooms in gorgeous pink tones and added little highlights with a white gel pen. She also carefully fussy cut these images out by hand so they didn't have any white edges and then placed them clustered inside the mug! So gorgeous and perfect for spring!

Here is a close-up. Didn't she do an incredible job cutting those blooms out!?

For the lovely card base she used a piece of kraft cardstock and created a textured woodgrain background using our Tree Rings Stencil with white texture paste. So pretty! The finishing touch is the sentiment "A cup of thanks" from the Newton's Mug Stamp Set. She masked it to make the words fit vertically onto the pink 3D banner that was cut out using the Banner Trio Die Set.

What do you think? Isn't this mug full of blooms the perfect way to send a spring greeting?
