Hello Coffee Loving Cardmakers!!

Larissa here with another Guest Designer Post and today I’m using some of my FAVORITE CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Products along with some Tim Holtz Stencils and Distress Oxide Inks!! I wanted a Card that could be used for several different occasions!! I LOVE to create Cards like this to have in my stash!! I started with my Background!! I added some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink using a Stencil Brush just to get some color down!! I taped down the Splatters Tim Holtz Stencil and added some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink to the Stencil with the Stencil Brush!! Once done, I used the Speckle Tim Holtz Stencil to add even more texture to my background again using Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink with the Stencil Brush!! Adding Water Droplets makes for even more texture and LOVE the way it looks in real life!! I took the Coffee Word Die from the CFS Coffee Cup Fri-Dies Set and Die Cut it straight into the Background 3 times!! Then I Die Cut it 3 times from some Vellum!! I left the Die Cuts in place on the Background, but adhered the Vellum Die Cuts over the tops gluing them just in the center so there would be some Dimension!! I wanted to Ground the Coffee Cut Image some I created a Brown Sewing Machine Stitched Ground!! This card is FULL of Texture and I just LOVE it!! Makes my senses HAPPY!!  To finish off the Background I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Images from the CFS Puffy Heart Love Stamp Set using Red WoW Glitter Embossing Powder!!

To create the Coffee Cup I first Stamped and Embossed the CFS Heart to Heart Stamp onto some Distress Watercolor Paper with White Embossing Powder and Heat Set it!! Then I centered the Design on my CFS To Go Cup Fri-Die and Die Cut it out!! I also Die Cut the Lid from some Distress Watercolor Paper and the Warmer Wrap from some Kraft Cardstock!! I inked the Edges of the Cup/Lid with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and the Wrap with Ground Espresso!! I used a Sentiment from the CFS Puffy Heart Love Stamp Set and Stamped and Embossed it onto the Wrap using Red WoW Glitter Embossing Powder!! To make it POP even more I used a Pitt Artist Pen to create a Shadow!! I adhered the Coffee Cup and added some Sequins and Jewels to finish off my Card!!

I HOPE you feel INSPIRED!!?? THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
