Coffee Loving Papercrafters

We’re so excited to welcome Von Marie to the blog.  She is a National Cocoa Day Top Pick.

Hello everyone! Von Marie here from Vonmariedesign and I am so happy and excited to be Guest Designing today on the CLC Blog! I of course have a fun card to share with you and it’s coffee themed as I do love everything Coffee, well I do love hot Cocoa too. Let’s get started!

I had to use these cute Hamsters from the Coffee Shop Hamsters Stamp and Storefront Builder Die from Waffle Flower Crafts for my Slimline Card today. I stamped all of my images onto Hammermill 100lb. White Cardstock with MFT Extreme Black ink. I chose to stamp a lot of images because I was unsure of what my design was going to look like. I colored in all of my images in with my Altenew Artist Markers. I love all the coffee, donut and croissant images. When I was done coloring, I cut them all out with the Coffee Shop Hamsters coordinating Dies. 

I cut out all of the dies out from the Storefront Builder Die with white Hammermill 100lb. Cardstock. I chose to ink blend them with Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf ink, Concord & 9th Stardust ink, and Catherine Pooler Rose Petals ink using my small blending brushes. I then used the largest Slimline die from Waffle Flower Crafts Slim Lacy Layers using again Hammermill 110lb. cardstock. I ink blended my slimline panel with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink for the sky and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink for the cement ground.

I stamped a sentiment from the Waffle Flower Crafts Big Dots Sentiments using Catherine Pooler Icing On The Cake ink using My Misti Stamping Platform. Finally, it was time to arrange the images and Storefront. I glued my storefront Coffee Shop first with liquid glue. I then began adding my hamsters, table, and chairs. I have a couple of hamsters and cappuccinos glued with foam tape. I glued my slimline panel to a Slimline Card base. I had to trim off the top of my storefront to fit my Slimline Card base evenly. I added some enamel dots to match and that finishes off my card. I hope you like it. It was a lot of fun to make. Thank you so much to Amy and everyone from the Coffee Lovers Blog for having me today!

Have a great Crafty Day!
