Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Fancy meeting you all here! It’s Tuesday Tea with Twiddler’s Nook again. Today I’ve got this fun card and tag combo featuring the Mermazing Coffee stamps and dies from Pink & Main. Keep scrolling to check it all out!

I’ve been wanting to try embossing with a background die for a while and this card just seemed like the perfect scenario to try it out. I did some ink smooshing with my Tombow brush markers to create the bright fun background and then, using the embossing sandwich for my die cutter, embossed the panel with the Neat and Tangled snake scales coverplate die. I trimmed it down to 4×5.25 and set it aside to work on the rest of my card.

I stamped, colored and die cut 2 images from Mermazing Coffee, not totally sure what I was doing with my card. Then I decided to cut a vellum heart using the Trinity Stamps nested hearts and heat embossed my sentiment. Then, I attached my mermaid with foam squares.

I decided to add some jute twine around the background panel for a little fishy texture and then adhered my heart over that. I finished my card off with some Wink of Stella glitter brush pen on the mermaid tail, Stickles on her cheeks and heart in her hair and finally a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops across the design.

But I still had an extra image I didn’t use…so I thought a fun coordinating tag was in order.

I die cut the tag pieces from Newton’s Nook’s Fancy Edges Tag die set and adhered them together. I stamped the sentiment from Mermazing Coffee and also some hearts from the set too. I popped the image up with foam squares and added a little Wink of Stella glitter brush pen here and there for some extra shimmer. Then I thought it needed more so I grabbed the glossy accents and added some of that to the mug on all the pink areas…and then finished it off with some teal twine I had in my stash.

I hope you enjoyed my little project today and found some inspiration to create something wonderful.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
