National Coffee Day Blog Hop

Today I am participating in a Blog Hop with Joy Clair Stamps. Below is my "Coffee" card. I am not a coffee drinker but I do have lots of friends who do, so this will apply to them.



I used the Coffee stamp set called, "Coffee Talk" Clear Stamps from Joy Clair Stamps. I took some watercolor paper and stamped the word, "coffee" in versamark and used clear embossing powder to heat emboss. I then used the "smooch" method to apply some brown Distress Inks. I then layered that with a darker brown paper.


Next, I ran some light brown paper through my Sizzix with a coffee embossing folder to have another layer of texture.



Then I stamped the coffee image on the same light brown paper with the same Distress Inks I used to "smooch". I cut out the image and colored with some Leisure Arts Premium Colored Pencils. I also stamped one of the "latte" foam images in white craft ink and used some white heat embossing powder on it to make it look more realistic. I mounted it on my card with foam adhesive.


Lastly, I stamped my sentiment with versamark on some pink paper and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I duck tailed cut the edge and mounted it also on some foam adhesive.


That's all!! Hope you like my contribution to the coffee hop! Please sign up for my email so you don't miss any new posts with new cards and ideas!  Have fun "hopping"!!

Miss Kate Cuttables and Roller Skates

Hi, I'm here to show you a very quick but fun card for any occasion. I actually used these cards for an invitation to a roller skating party but you can use it for anything. A fun birthday card for a child, a "let's roll" card to invite someone to a night out, a memory card for when you used to go roller skating, or just a fun card to say hi to a active person!

Before we get into the card instructions, don't forget to "roll" over to Miss Kate Cuttables for their daily freebie!!





First off, buy your set of skates! You can make male or female skates! I cut the female ones out with my Silhouette Cameo 3. I just layered all the pieces together and glued them with craft glue. Nothing special or hard to do.





I just did a simple card base of pink with some glitter paper to mimic the "disco balls" we used to skate too in the old days and I see they still use them today!!

I taped the back skate down with tape and used some foam adhesive to pop up the top skate to add some layers and to add movement I tilted the skate a bit to look like it is in motion.

I added some tiny decorative dots in the corner and this card is done!!







I love this card! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks for stopping by!
