Coffee and You!

My oldest sister and I both love our coffee. We can drink it nearly any time of day, until about 6pm!
I thought she might like a coffee birthday card. I used a coffee set from Verve stamps for the coffee cups. I finally tried mirror stamping in order to have cups with handles on opposite sides. The image didn't transfer as well as I would have liked, so I used a black Sharpie to go over the image outline. I colored the images with Copics and added some Brown Wink of Stella to the coffee itself. The hearts are also from a Verve die. I added some clear Wink of Stella to them. The sentiment on the right edge is from Stamplorations. I stamped it with Ranger Archival Black ink on vellum and heat set it. Otherwise, ink takes longer to dry on vellum and can smear. I bought the little wooden coffee word
from Create a Smile stamps.

Floral Birthday

I'm in card making hyper space. I have 3 birthdays this week that I needed cards for. I was sick last week, then went wedding venue searching with my daughter over the weekend, so I didn't get much done. I had some of these flowers stamped and heat embossed on water color paper so I went to work, using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I added some white dots to accent the flower. I was going to link this to Tuesday Morning Sketches #391, but I just couldn't get it finished and posted in time.

Super

I only had a couple of hours to make some valentine cards for my daughters and grandson.
I used the fun Super set from Paper Smooches to make my grandson's card. I colored my hero with Copics. I also used some heart dies from Verve and added some Wink of Stella to help make them Stand out a bit more.

Another quick card for my daughters. I made 2 of these CAS cards.
The foil card stock is from Michaels. I cut the vellum heart with a Spellbinders
die. The ribbon was from my stash and the sentiment is from a digital set by
Verve stamps.

Valentine Coffee

This was the second card I wanted to link to the Mojo Monday contest, but missed getting it posted (frown). I used the freebie sentiment (through 2/15) Love From Me digital set from Verve Stamps, the adorable Simon Says Stamp Coffee Love die, and Doodlebug Cream and Sugar 6x6 papers. The circles were die cut using my favorite tool, my Big Shot and Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Circle dies. I added some Glossy Accents to the eyes, mouth and heart. The ribbon was a freebie from an Ellen Hutson order. The embossing folder was Sizzix.

Birthday Coffee

I wanted to link this up to the Mojo Monday sketch challenge, but ran out of time to get it posted.
I had to have this adorable little Coffee Love die from Simon Says Stamp.
I used Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Circle dies to cut the circle. The paper is Doodlebug Designs Cream and Sugar 6x6 pad.
