Nothing's Better Than Coffee


Hello friends. Today I am participating in a blog hop with Kylie's (Stampin' Up!) Demonstrator Training Program. I hope you enjoy my project, and the 50+ other fabulous SU projects from around the world!


Looking for a way to make someone smile? Send them a happy card made with Nothing's Better Than Bundle! Because truly, other than love, Nothing's Better Than Coffee, Cookies, Chocolate, and Cocktails! Am I right?

This card is part of a set of four cards I created using the Nothing's Better Than Bundle - each featuring one of the four C's of the set - Coffee, Cookies, Chocolate, and Cocktails. I love how fun this card is.

In addition to the dies in the bundle, I also used the Stitched Rectangle and the stitched square. See below for a complete list of products use!

Thank You Cherished Friend


Hello friends, thank you for joining me for today's blog hop. I am joining Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop. This hop highlights the top ten winners from our blog hop earlier this month. I am thrilled to have made the top ten and to be part of Kylie's hop. The theme for for the blog hop is THANKS. 


I am using the Tasteful Touches bundle for today's nearly monochromatic card. The card features four main levels: a Pretty Peacock mat, a custom made background (more on this below), a double layer embellished sentiment, and a stamped flower and leaves. 


To create the custom background, I began with a 4" x 5" piece of Stampin' Up! watercolor paper. Using the second largest stitched rectangle die, the paper was cut to size. The cut watercolor paper was then taped to a work surface using crafter's easy release tape (note the white edges where the tape was  uniformly applied to butt against the stitched line). 

Using Pretty Peacock ink, water, and a large sponge, I sponged a watercolor background onto the paper. After the background dried, I used versa ink and stamped the decorative squares stamp in a random pattern. White embossing powder was applied to the versa ink and heat embossed. The final step in creating the custom background was to dry emboss with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. 


The Sentiment tag was cut using a Tasteful Touches die. I cut the tag in Whisper White and Pretty Peacock cardstock. The peacock tag was cut in half horizontally and glued to the back of the white layer so that it shows at the top and bottom. The two part sentiment was stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink using Lovely You and Peaceful Moments stamps.

The flower was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on Whisper White, then colored with Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends. Embellishments were added to finish the card.
