Coffee Loving Sunshine

Hi friends! I'm super excited to be guest designing over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog today! I'm sharing two coffee loving cards featuring Super Sponsors I've placed my first orders with in the past couple months.

First up is an adorable stamp set from Newton's Nook. I have long admired their sweet stamps, and just had to give them a try during their WCMD sale. Love their stamps!  The illustration style is so cute, and who can go wrong with cats and coffee? I began by stamping Newton and his cuppa and the three other cups from the Newton Loves Coffee set in copic safe ink and colored with Copics. I fussy cut each one and layered them together to create a little scene, then masked off a floor with tape and blended some brown distress inks.

I then moved the tape to cover the floor and used the Roundabout Stencil from Taylored Expressions, first in salvaged patina, then turned the stencil a quarter turn and stenciled with twisted citron. I turned one more quarter turn and used salvaged patina to achieve the color I wanted. I think it looks like a fun wallpaper design. The sentiment cracks me up and is exactly what I envision my cat Moka is saying to me when she rubs up against me while my coffee is brewing. I stamped the coffee bean stamp below it several times and then layered everything together.

Next up is Whimsy Stamps.  I received a gift card there as a prize from the last coffee hop and I may have purchased an armful of stamps extra!  Love all their sweet gnome images!  But on the coffee front, I adore this smiling iced coffee image from the Cool Beans set!  Isn't his smile great? I colored him up with Copics, then fussy cut and popped up with foam tape. Next I grabbed a panel of white cardstock and the Taylored Expressions Sunray Mini Slim Stencil and stenciled with squeezed lemonade and mustard seed distress inks. I finished with a sweet sentiment from the Beaucoup Bouquet Sentiments set that I thought perfectly fit with this happy little cuppa!
