Fall in a Mug Artist Trading Cards + Video

Hey friends! Ready for some inky fun? Today I have a process video up of creating an emboss resist background for these Artist Trading Cards using inks and sprays.  You can watch it on the blog below or on my YouTube Channel. I hope you'll check it out!

I used the Latte Love Fall Background stamp from Not 2 Shabby for the embossing, then a mix of distress sprays, distress spritz, and some distress inks to create the background. The images and sentiment are all from stamps in the September Box of the Month and I finished off with a few Pumpkin Spice Sparkling Enamel Dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Coffee Trio

Hey friends! How's September treating you. The air is chilling just a bit around here and I'm definitely ready for warm drinks and cozy blankets in the mornings. Today I'm sharing a trio of cards I created with this month's Not 2 Shabby Box of the Month.  I used the same paper collage technique I used in my last video for the backgrounds on all of these cards.

This first card, I wanted to bring that dreamy feeling of quiet morning moments to the background, so overlaid a panel of vellum over the #coffeeandbooks Vol. 2 papers. I embossed the sentiment onto the vellum, then created a little scene with a few ephemera pieces and accented with sparkle enamel dots.

I approached this second card the same way, minus the vellum overlay.  I added a sentiment across the bottom to sort of "ground" my collage elements, then finished off with sparkle enamel dots.

For the third card, I added a little softness to the background with a couple of mini doilies. The sentiment sign seemed like the perfect destination for this sweet young reader.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
