Coffee Loving Cardmakers - Fall Blog Hop

I made this card for the last day of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall Blog Hop.

I won a gift certificate from Paper Sweeties in the Summer Blog Hop.  I decided on the Tea for Two stamp and die set. 

I have stamped the tea pot onto double sided designer paper from a 12x12 pad from KC Company.  I chose the polka dot side for teapot and the floral on the back side for the background. 

I embossed my table top from white card stock with a Sizzix Textured Impressions Plus - Field of Diamonds Embossing Folder.  I ripped the top edge and made it the same width of the designer paper.

I chose the mauve color from the DP and used it in the card base.   I stamped the teapot in black and die cut it.  I added several silk flowers in the bottom right hand side of the tea pot. 

I added a greeting stamped in a warm green on a Stampin Up Modern Label punch.  It was adhered to card front with 3D foam tape.

Submitting to the challenge for the hop which is to make a tea, coffee or cocoa related card.

2BGreen - Recycled Cards - 3

Here's another set of 2BGreen set of cards.  I'm glad I ensure these cards are enjoyed another time by new set of eyes.  These cards are made from elements from cards sent once already.  I find card stock and other elements to make them into something new.


Here's one that's perfect for a young person's birthday.


Some of these cards have a wonderful soft watercolor feel to them which I just love.  This last one I cut the scallop border with the Stampin Up Scallop Border Edgelit.  It's great because I used the back of the card which matched the card stock perfectly.

Card - Trio of Flowers

I made this card for a friend who under went surgery recently.  I hope that the recovery goes well.
I used a note card I had printed last week that was off so I could not use it as it. I trimmed the flowers and layered them onto a piece of green. The flowers are from the Stampin Up! Sweet Summer set.  I cut the scallop edge with the SU Adorning Accents Scallop Edgelit.  I then mounted this to a pink card on which I printed my sentiment. 

Card - Good Job

This is a card I made for a co-worker who has been dealing with a few challenges in her work.  This is to let her know she's doing a great job!  I made the card 5.5x8.5inches so there was room for everyone to write an appreciative word.
I started with a Tempting Turquoise card with the 8.5x11 folding in half.  I found a sheet in the Pink Flamingo DSP with just Summer Sun and Tempting Turquoise.  I cut 9 squares at 1.5" and glued them to a square of white.  This was laid onto a piece of Summer Sun.  I trimmed the top of that piece with the scallop border from the SU Adorning Accents Edgelits.  I then added another layer in white cut with the same Edgelit.  I wrapped a piece of Turquoise 1/4" gross grain ribbon across the front and taped the end to the back. Added a short piece tied onto the long length. This layer was adhered to the card front. I added 3 white silk flowers above the scallops and punched small 5 petal punchies in Summer Sun and held those in place with tiny turquoise brads.

Notecard - Scallop Circle with Sticker

A few more notecards for my friend.  I made these from left over supplies from this card.  I selected a chocolate brown card and a wide strip of white card stock.  I used the Stampin Up! Adorning accents Edgelit dies to added a scalloped edge to both sides of the strip.  I placed a dark brown piece of 1/4" gross grain ribbon set off centre and taped the ends to the back of the white strip.  This layer was then adhered to the card front.  The sticker was placed in the centre of the green SU scallop circle. I adhered the scallop circle accent to over the ribbon with 3D foam tape.
