Coffee + Kitties


Hello Hello!  It's Amy here with a couple cards that I'm so excited to share with you today.  First up is a card that combines the Coffee Art + Coffee Loving Critters sets:


I decided to do all my stamping with Memento Rich Cocoa.  I started off with some quick stenciling using Distress Oxide - Antique Linen.

I fussy cut the stacking mugs from Coffee Art and the bunny from Coffee Loving Critters.  I've actually been enjoying fussy cutting these days.  It's been super relaxing for me.


My copic colors I used:

R20
Y15 | Y19
BG13 | BG15
E0000 | E51


I heat embossed the sentiment from Coffee Art in white on kraft cardstock.   I mounted everything on an Aqua panel.  The middle stack of mugs, the bunny and the sentiment have all be adhered with foam squares.

I went ahead and whipped up an extra card especially for today.  I wanted to use Sneaky Kitties and send my girl [the green thumb] some happy mail:


The image has been stamped with Versafine Onyx on Bristol.  It has been colored with Zig Clean Color Markers.



If you've been following me for any length of time, you'll know that green is my favorite color.  It was so relaxing to color this.  For this I colored zig on zig.  I blend with a lighter zig marker.  Do you see the random pops of Zig English Lavender?


I'm super happy how this turned out and think it will make my girl smile. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Coffee Critter Card Set

Hello! Heather Hoffman here this morning - and if you haven't noticed, I kind of love to make sets of cards sometimes! Especially when some of the images and sentiments on a stamp set are so cute that I can't decide which one to use. When in doubt, use lots of them! I used a combination of Coffee Loving Critters, and mixed in a couple sentiments from Coffee Art for these cards I'm sharing today!


I started off by trimming card size panels of watercolor cardstock in half, to make mini canvases for the fronts of my cards.


Next, I paired the images and sentiments that I wanted to use, and stamped them in Versafine Onxy Black Ink with my MISTI on those watercolor panels I had created.


I colored them in with my watercolors, and left them to dry for a bit.


Once they dried, I added a thin black mat around each one. Finally, I adhered them with foam adhesive on white cardbases.


I love how the simple design lets these fun images just really shine! And it makes it super quick to put several cards together at the same time, but they are all a bit different - perfect for giving as a gift set or putting in your stash for when you need a card!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!!!

Coffee Love....


Happy hello Evelin T. Designs friends... Annette Allen here with you today to share two fun cards I created using Evelin T. Designs: Coffee Loving Critters and Coffee Art stamp set. This month the design team is featuring these two stamp sets so make sure to join us every Monday for more fun inspiration.

Now lets get started... On this first card I used both Coffee Loving Critters and Coffee Art stamp sets.


I colored up these adorable images with Copic Sketch Markers and added a little highlights and a few polka dots using a white gel pen.  I cut out the images using my Brother scan n cut machine. I used a die and some pretty designer paper for the background and with some foam adhesives I added my images to the card. I love to give my images some dimension. 


This card was created using Evelin T. Designs: Coffee Loving Critters. How cute are those cupcakes? I colored the images with Copic Sketch Markers and again cut with my Brother scan n cut machine. 


I sprayed some Ranger Distress Oxide on the background and added some pretty designer paper. The picture frame was added using foam adhesives. I also added some polka dots with a white gel pen. 

Two simple cards and totally fun to create with these adorable stamps. 



Thanks for stopping by.

Guest Designer: Wanda Guess

Hi, Wanda Guess here and I'm so excited to be on Evelin T Designs' Blog today! I'm sharing a sweet and cheerful birthday card made with the really cute stamp set called Coffee Loving Critters! My finished card is an A2 size.
I added a layer of pretty pink gingham paper, then one white layer, and then a tag. I like to create visual interest with paper layers. One of my favorite techniques! I stamped two bears and three cupcakes in Archival Ink. I used Distress Ink pads and a water brush to loosely watercolor everything.
Then I fussy cut out the images with my detail scissors. I added some glittery glue to the tops of all the cupcakes. I splattered some pink ink onto the tag and then stamped the sentiment onto the tag. The sentiment is from the Coffee Art stamp set. Everything is affixed to the card with foam tape.
Finally, a few enamel dots to finish off the card! The perfect birthday card for any age. Thanks for having me as a guest Evelin!!
