Coffee Loving Papercrafters

I can’t believe it is the final Friday of July!  We have so loved having Annette up on the blog this month!  Please read down to the bottom of this post.   We taking a bit of a look back at all of Annette’s awesome projects.

Happy almost end of July.. Annette Allen here with you today and I am back with my last post as guest designer. It has been so fun creating with you all and being able to share my creations with you all. Today I went back to winter with this Pink & Main card, so let’s get started. 

Today’s card was created using:

• Pink & Main: Mugs and Kisses stamp/dies
• Pink & Main: Bubblegum Embossing Powder 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a piece of designer paper, same size as your card base and adhere it to the card using liquid glue.

Cut a piece of white cardstock 4×5 and stamp this adorable image from the Mugs and Kisses stamp set using black ink. Stamp until it is full of this adorable design.

Take three colored ink pads that you love blending together and blend that ink on your stamped background. Once your have blended your ink add some polka dots to the scarf using NUVO Simply White Crystal Drops and let dry completely before handling again. Once dry add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the card.

Stamp out one more of those cute images on white cardstock and color using your favorite medium. I used Copic Sketch markers. Stamp the marshmallow and straw too and die cut them all out using the coordinating dies. Adhere the marshmallows and straw to the image and then add some foam tape to the back of the image and then to the card. PHEW that was intense. LOL

I thought it need a little more polka dots, so I used a white gel pen and went crazy on the scarf and added a few lines here and there to highlight the image.

Stamp the sentiment of your choice on white cardstock using Embossing ink and heat emboss a fun color. I used Pink & Main Bubblegum.. it is one of my favorites. Pink of course. Trim down the sentiment and adhere it to the card using liquid glue 

Stamped background, ink blended and colorful. So simple and totally fun to create.

Thank you so much for having me as your guest designer this month.

It been fun..

Happy Caffeinated Crafting!
