Guest Designer: September 9th

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Guest Designers

Hello, coffee loving friends!

This is Dana here and I’m so happy to share my first card with you as a guest designer. Today, I tried to making tea themed card using minimum number of caffeine-related stamps.

Here is what I came up with. ‘Before and after’ tea time and my tea definition. I’m sure many of you have had this feeling in your coffee and tea time. In my case, I make a smile on my face like right happy bear not only in tea time but after smelling coffee beans being roasted in the cafe.

For today’s card,

  1. I started by stamping bears and emoji stamps from The ton onto watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx black. I then drew a mini cup using Copic multi liner and watercolored all of them with Mijello mission gold. Once it was dry, I fussy cut them out using scissors without white space.
  2. Next, I created my own background by die cutting the white card stock using border die from Avery elle. After die cutting 2 times, I got 3 pieces of card stock. I ink blended top and bottom panel using distress inks (Antique linen, Tea dye).
  3. After stamping the sentiment (semicolon is my handwriting), I adhered black glitter washi tape between the panels. To finished off, I mounted all pieces to the white card base using glue and foam tape.

    Oh how I love your bear card! I collect bears and my nickname is Kerbear so I always smile when I see a cute bear. I love that you combined him with a tea theme! All stamps can go well with coffee and tea!!!
