Take Life One Cup at a Time Card by Diane Morales

One Cup at a Time! 

This colorful coffee themed card by Diane is sure to catch your eye! Her card today features our Coffee Delights Stamp Set and Mugs Stencil.

Diane colored the big stack of mugs from the Coffee Delights Stamp Set in shades of orange, teal and blue with a pop of yellow!  She continued with the coffee theme and created a panel of mugs using our Mugs Stencil, with dark blue ink over the a bright lime green paper for a fun contrast. 

To assemble her card she started with a navy colored card base and added the coffee patterned panel over the top. She cut a frame from white cardstock using our Framework Die Set and added it to her card center. The stack of mugs was layered over the top. She also added the sentiment "take life one cup at a time," onto a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set.

We hope this colorful coffee card has brightened your day! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project.

Shell-ebrate! Summer Shaker Card by Farhana Sarker

Shell-ebrate!

Today Farhana is shaking up some fun at the beach with a shaker card using our new Seaside products! 

For this card she started out by coloring the cute kitty image from our Newton's Sand Dollar Stamp Set. 

For the summer scene she cut a curved edge for her sandy beach and then added some brown ink along the edge and paint splatters for texture. She stamped the message "Shell-ebrate!" from the Seashell Roundabout Stamp Set along the bottom of the sand. 

Next she worked on her shaker background. She used a piece of bubble filled paper from our Seaside Paper Pad and slid it into a clear shaker sleeve. For this you could use a clear cellophane bag or envelope. Or you could create your own using some leftover plastic from a product's packaging. She then added some sequins and tiny little fish shapes into her shaker pocket. 

Then she layered the image of Newton and the beach scene over the shaker background. What a fun card! 

We hope this inspiration will give you some inspiration to create a shaker this summer!

Fireworks Card by Samantha Mann

Celebrate!

Today we are celebrating  summer with a beautiful card by Samantha feauting our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set and Fireworks Stencil.

To create this fun celebratory card Samantha stamped and colored the image of cat with the sparrklers and the image of the cat in dog in a wagon of fireworks from our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set. She used watercolor marks in tones of brown and red with just a touch of blue. Aren't the pink cheeks on the pets so cute? 

For her card backgound she inked a panel of white cardstock using shades of blue. She started with the darkest color at the top and faded down to white about two thirds of the way down the panel. Then she used our Fireworks Stencil and white texture paste to add the fireworks over the top. This panel was then added to her white card base, leaving a small strip of white on either side. 

Last, she added the message. She die cut a small black banner from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. Then she embossed the word "celebrate" from the Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set in white onto the banner and layered it over the fireworks. 

What a fabulous way to celebrate summer!

Mahalo Summer Card by Samantha Mann

Mahalo!

Today we are sharing summer vibes with a gorgeous card by Samantha combining our Aloha Newton Stamp Set and Hibiscus Stencil Set.

Samantha created a gorgeous background using our Hibiscus Stencil Set. This stencil has two pieces that layer together, one for the flowers and one for the leaves. She started by using stencil with the flowers, inking the flowers in pink and coral distress inks. Without lifting up the stencil, she pressed a clear embossing pad onto the stencil over the same floral areas. She removed the stencil and embossed the flowers with clear embossing powder. What a fun effect! Then she used the stencil with the leaves and inked it with green distress inks. She also added green inks over the whole upper part of the card front, fading them to the bottom left corner. Some paint and water splatters add a bit of fun texture. 

Next, she created the cute kitty image to add to her card. The cute cat peeking out from behind hibiscus flowers and tropical leaves is from our Aloha Newton Stamp Set. She colored the image in fun tropical colors and cut it out using the coordinating Aloha Newton Die Set. She added more individual hibiscus flowers and leaves behind the image to add some more dimension to the image. 

To finish the card she adds the word "Mahalo" embossed in white onto a small black rectangle. She also added some black and white washi tape up the side to help balance the colors. 

What a beautiful summer card!
