Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Good Morning Coffee Loving Cardmakers! It is Thursday and it’s time to take a little break with me, Helen, again 🙂 Grab your favorite drinks and let’s talk about your favorite cardmaking techniques.

The Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop was totally amazing and full of inspirations. I saw so many cardmaking (tag making, too) techniques shown by all the participants. I did several cardmaking techniques, some are new for me to try, some are my favorites.

On Day 1 I used wet-on-wet watercolor on the cup to blend the colors, and color layering stamping for the leaves:

Day 2, I did a mixed media card with some homemade modeling paste, stencil, and watercoloring, and stamping:

Day 3, I did simple CAS card with Ombre Ink, stamp, and fussy cutting on this card:

Day 4, I combined diecutting, stamping and embellishments:

Day 5 is simply stamping and watercoloring technique to create this card:

Day 6, it is all about digital stamps and images. I created 4 cards that I shared on my blog, but on this one, I created the background with some stamping and white gesso. So technically, we can call this a mixed media card, right? 🙂

On Day 7, I did some stamping, watercoloring and embossing on vellum:

And on the last day of blog hop, Day 8, I did faux watercoloring with dye ink for the background. This is a quick technique with your dye inks in hand and some water. You can do this even on regular cardstock since it is only used spray of water on the inked stamp:

So, share with us what is your favorite cardmaking technique? What is a new technique that you’d love to try? We would love to hear your ideas 🙂
