Coffee Loving Papercrafters

We’re back with Tangii who is one of our Designer Picks from the 2021 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

My name is Tangii and I live in my dream home in Nevada with my hubby and my fur baby, Tucker.  We have 3 adult kiddo’s, a kiddo-in-law and we were blessed this past year with our first Grandbaby!  When all of those people aren’t hogging (lol) my time, I enjoy stamping/paper crafting, coloring, quilting and decorating my home. 

Hello & happy Friday!  I’m so very excited to be a Guest for CLC today!  Did you get a chance to participate in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers hop in March?  Or to poke around all of the amazing entries? or pay a visit to any of the wonderful Super Sponsors?  I just LOVE seeing the things people create and enter, but one of the very best things (for me anyway) is discovering new stamps and companies.  Each hop I poke around the companies (from the entries as well as the Super Sponsor list) and find some that are “new to me” and place an order from a couple of them.  One of the companies I’ve fallen in love with is Trinity stamps, in fact I’ve already placed a couple of orders with them (shhhh, lol).  I was immediately drawn to the idea of pairing up this Falling For You Gnome and their Layered Coffee Bean Stencil together!

There are 2 layers to this stencil, the first has 1 half of the bean and the 2nd has the other half.  I started by blending some Distress ink on the 1st layer, then for the 2nd layer I used some Embossing ink and Nuvo Copper powder.  I love the look and mix of texture!  I colored up my lil Gnomie with Copics and used the coordinating die to cut him out.

I also stamped some of the extra hearts included in the stamp set, used the coord dies and then popped them up. Finally, I added some sequin type things here and there (see on the hearts?).  I tied up a multi-loop bow with some twine for his hat and added a sequin “flower” to it.  The set comes with a super cute sentiment, but I wanted something with a “coffee vibe”, this sentiment is from the Perfectly Blended sentiment set (The Rabbit Hole Designs, another Super Sponsor!).

This card was all about getting inky and pure coloring fun…it was the perfect “creative therapy” project for me!  Well, that’s all I’ve got for you today, thank you to the CLC crew for having me today!
