Sunday Sip: Fixer Upper

CLCSip 9.10 Card

Hello there coffee loving friends!  It’s Kerry here and I’m back with another Sunday Sip and Share post.  I’m sending HEALING and SAFETY vibes to all those affected by the hurricanes and unfriendly weather events that have been happening lately.  While watching weather news and live “before the storm” painting events 24-7 this weekend, I realized it wasn’t a surprise that my creations would take a turn towards healing and…coffee… Lots of coffee as it is a comfort to my heart and bandages…to cover the wounds that are inevitably being created right now.  I just want to send good healing vibes and comfort…

Sunday Sip and Share

My card incorporates the use of a new coffee-loving sentiment set from Joy Clair called Coffee Quotes.  As a Super Sponsor for the Fall Coffee Lovers Hop, they’ve got some awesome clear coffee-loving stamps that will surely make their way into your coffee-tea-cocoa loving heart.  I know they have mine!  I’ll be sharing a few more cards using this set during the hop so make sure to spy them…You just might win a special treat!

After stamping the sentiment onto white cardstock, I mounted it onto some orange cardstock for contrast then applied some old bandages (real ones) to a white panel.  I machine stitched a border to make it more fun!

After mounting the sentiment onto the bandage panel, I stamped and colored the coffee tumbler with watercolor pencils.  I cut the cup out and added a pop dot to attach it to the sentiment panel.  After that, I attached the bandage panel to some Kraft paper (just paper, not cardstock) and mounted the whole thing onto a white card base.  Easy, peasy and perfect for a friend in need!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card.  I hope you have a glorious week.  If you’re dealing with the aftermath of the storms, know that I continue to pray for you and am here for you…

    Your card is so awesome with
    those real bandaids! I never thought
    to use them as an embellishment 🙂
    I hope to use one or more of your sketches
    for the hop.

      Thanks! Those old bandaids must have been affected by the high summer heat because the wrappers were yellowing. They looked too gross for covering body parts so I figured I wouldn’t waste them but use them on a card. Haha. Hope you do use the sketches in the fall Hop! ❤️
