CAS Masculine

I needed another masculine birthday card, so hide the ribbon and gems! I went kind of CAS and just stamped the Spellbinders Evergreen trees with Memento Cottage Ivy and then added WOW Clear Embossing powder and heat embossed to add some texture. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped with Ranger Archival Watering Can ink. I added Pewter Embossing powder and heat embossed the sentiment. The Golfer silhouette die is from Gina Marie. The card stock panels were cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies.

Peace and Joy

I made another Holly themed Christmas card, this time using an upcycled Starbucks holiday cup as my printed paper. I am usually not a fan of pink mixed in with red and green, but I like this mug! It was die cut with CAS-ual Fridays die. I used a Holly Background embossing folder to emboss the white panel (hard to see in the picture). The red and white panel were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. The holly sprigs are from a punch. The sentiment is Unity Stamps and the gems are from my stash.

CAS Coffee

This is the last card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I’ve run out of time and energy, but certainly not craft supplies!!!

The coffee image is from Unity Stamps, colored with Copics. The sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps Brew Ha Ha. No bling, no frills-just CAS ( which is not my normal style).

Holly time

I had to try out this gorgeous stamp from Unity called Cherished Holly. The Holly image and the sentiment are from the set. The coffee cup is from a company called Skipping Stones (I can’t find their website, so they may have closed). Images were colored with Copics.
Holly reminds me of Christmas when I was young. We had a big Holly bush in the backyard and we would cut a sprig off and tie it on the wrapping on the plates of homemade cookies we would give the neighbors.

Holly Jolly

I remembered that I had this Holly Stencil from STAMPlorations, so I spread the red and green stencil paste from The Crafters Workshop on the top part of the card.
Dies used: Rubbernecker Coffee Cup die, My Favorite Things Sentiment Banner Strip dies.
Sentiment is from Unity Stamps
Holly Leaves were cut with a punch. Gems are from my stash.

Tea of Many Colors

Once I cut a few strips of this Crafters Consortium Ink Drops Candy paper for my last card, I decided to let the paper do the work. I used Scrapbook.com’s Slimline Strip dies to cut the remaining 6x6 piece of paper. The tea cup dies are from The Cat’s Pajamas (only sell Digi stamps now). The Sentiment is Unity and the sentiment banner was die cut from a My Creative Time die set. Gems are from my stash.

Freshly Made Sketches and Coffee

I loved the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week and had to combine it with a coffee theme.

Paper strips were cut from Crafters Consortium Ink Drops Candy paper (rainbow heaven!), using Scrapbook.com Slimline Strip dies.

Coffee mugs and musical note are from CAS-ual Fridays (out of business). Sentiment is from My Creative Time and it was heat embossed with WOW Platinum embossing powder.

Monochromatic Coffee

I used Lawn Fawn Latte Love die set to cut the coffee cup. The top layer was cut from white iridescent card stock. I used the same card stock to cut snowflakes using Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflake dies. The stenciled background was done using Uniko Mod Background Builder Circles and Simon Hurley’s Beluga Solar Paste. The sentiment is from My Creative Time.

Coffee Lover’s #2

Yes, I love this Coffee Mug die from Trinity Stamps! It makes a nice sized card that fits in an A2 envelope.

I decided to use some of this printed panel from a coffee bag from Goldberry Roasting Company in Ashland, OH. They did a fundraiser for a relative’s hockey team. I used Spellbinders Labels Twenty-two die set to cut it and the gold panel. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.

Coffee Lover’s #1

The mug card die is from Trinity Stamps. Printed paper is from Memory Box. I bought the wood block Santa stamp, by Stampabilities on clearance a few years ago for $1. He was colored with Copics. I used MFT Pierced Circle dies to cut the image and a background circle. Glossy Accents adds some shine to the black coffee.
