Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello and welcome! I have two fun coffee cards for you today on “Second Cup Sunday” featuring the “Coffee Bean Flower” 3D embossing folder from Creative Expressions.

My first card is full of white space and my 2nd card is definitely not!   Here’s a look at my first card.

And here’s a close up look at the embossing you get with this 3D folder that I used for both cards today:

To make this card. I ran a piece of watercolor paper through my Platinum 6 machine with the Creative Expressions 3D “Coffee Bean Flower” embossing folder. Next I took a retired stamp from Neat and Tangled and stamped it in Versafine Clair Pinecone ink on a piece of faux watercolored paper from my stash. I cut that with a dotted circle die and then cut a larger circle and inked the edges with the same brown ink. I layered them and then added the circle piece to the embossed piece. Lastly I added Pinkfresh Studio “Espresso Jewels” to the center of each flower and added the embossed panel to a card base. This card is actually slightly larger than an A2 size at 4.5″ by 5.75″.

Here’s one last look:

Now here’s a look at my 2nd card which is much busier looking:

This time I embossed a piece of watercolor paper that had six different colors of Cosmic Shimmer “Pixie Sparkles” on it. Once I took it out, I then rubbed brown ink direct to paper on the raised areas of the embossed card stock. It looked very cool so I didn’t want to cover up a lot of the background.

I used a Woodware stamp called “Cup of Love” and stamped it on a die cut rectangle along with the sentiment from the same set. Next I colored the image with Zig Clean Color markers in colors to match the background. Then I popped it up on foam tape for dimension in the center of the background. I added the embossed piece to a card base and that finished my card!

Here’s one last look:

Happy Second Cup Sunday!  Hope you enjoyed my 2 cards for today!  If you are interested in any of the supplies I used, I have them linked on my blog HERE.
