Coffee Date with Lisa and Amanda

Good morning Coffee Lovers! It’s Lisa here with you today and I am stepping out of my ICU to have a “Coffee Date” with my good friend Amanda!

The design team has been pairing up with a crafty friend

and collaborating together to make similar cards for one post.

Today I’d like to introduce my coffee date to you!

Her name is Amanda Stevens from Pear Blossom Press and I met Amanda

on The Rabbit Hole Designs DT. Amanda is a fellow coffee lover and her husband actually

roasts his own coffee beans which means she is a Coffee Lover Extraordinaire!

Amanda is also a super creative card maker who in my opinion

is a master card engineer! Amanda makes the most interactive and fun cards and

there is usually one or more moving parts on her cards!

In addition to her interactive cards Amanda and her husband have

invented an easy system for making light up cards!

Her system is called E-Z Light and you can read more about it

As you can see Amanda is a busy creative woman and I am honored

that she agreed to join me here today!

Amanda and I talked and we decided that we would both use the stamp set

We also decided to use the same color combination of kraft and salmon

with some oranges and yellows (like sunrise colors).

When I made my card I was focusing solely on the sunrise colors and I forgot

completely about the kraft and salmon.

My forgetful brain strikes again…

I just love the card Amanda made.

She used the most beautiful colors and her card is amazing and elegant!

You can hop over to her blog

for more details and to see how she made her card and the supplies she used.

For my card I decided to make a sunrise burst background with a stencil and

add some balloons for a real PAR-TEA!

I recently purchased the brand new Taylored Expressions blender brushes and I was dying

to ink them up! I used a stencil from My Favorite Things and some Taylored Expressions ink.

I just love how this background came out! I also used the Postage Edge Rectangle die from

Kat Scrappiness to do my sun burst ink blending. Here is a picture with all of the supplies used.

The sentiment is from The Rabbit Hole Designs stamp set Perfectly Blended.

Thank you so much for joining Amanda and I on our coffee date today!

I really enjoyed this collaboration with Amanda and I hope you did too!

Have a great day, I already am!
