Avery Elle Cool Beans

Hi everyone! I'm here today with a winter coffee card to show you!  I started by cutting the plaid patterned paper in A2 size from the Jen Hadfield Warm & Cozy 6x6 paper pad. (check out all the CUTE patterns in this paper pad!). I then used the new Fa La La stencil by Neat & Tangled and used Ground Espresso distress ink over Kraft cardstock and layered that over red cardstock onto my base.

I die cut and Copic colored the coffee cups from Avery Elle Cool Beans with coordinating dies. I die cut a deer from MFT Dienamics Delightful Deer in bright gold cardstock. I tucked the deer behind some natural twine I tied around the red layer.

I embossed some of the kraft cardstock using Sunny Studio Cable Knit EF and then die cut the wrap that goes around the cup. I love how it gives the wrap dimension! Lastly I stamped, diecut and colored the holly from MFT Tweet Holidays and added to my cups for decoration and a pop of color! The little sentiment "Cool Beans" fit on there perfectly I thought!

I'm entering this card in the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, which Butterfly Reflections Ink. is sponsoring!  I hope you'll be inspired to create a coffee card of your own to link up!

I've entered my card in the following challenges/hops:

Pure Innocence by MFT Sending Blessings

Hello everyone, Amanda here, I hope you're enjoying your weekend!  Today I wanted to share a card I made using a recently release Pure Innocence stamp/die set by MFT called, Sending Blessings I inked the background hill in Pumice Stone and the clouds in Iced Spruce. (both Distress Inks by Ranger). I used 2 MFT stencils to do this, Mini Cloud Edges and Drifts and Hills. I love using these for easy scene creators, so check them out in the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop! 

I Copic colored and die cut all the images to arrange my scene. I used patterned paper from the PhotoPlay Fall Breeze paper pack. for a few layers under my colored scene.

I added some Stickles glitter to the leaves, heat embossed the sentiment in white and cut out that little banner on brown cardstock.

I hope you've enjoyed my project, make sure you check out the new products over at  Butterfly Reflections Ink shop!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release - Day 2

Hi everyone and welcome to day 2 of the April reveals over at Newton's Nook Designs.  Today the team and I are showcasing this fancy new stamp/die set, Wedding Frills.  AND, a new stencil..soooo gorgeous...Floral Lace!  I played a lot with this stencil and have made so many gorgeous backgrounds to be used on future projects!

For my card today, I went with a really different look, sort of a shabby chic light.  I heat embossed the lacey frame and flower on some kraft cardstock.  I then stamped the sentiment right in the middle with Versafine Black Onyx ink. I did a tone on tone stencil on the base panel, then assembled my burlap ribbon over a strip of pink cardstock.  I needed one last element and it turns out pearls worked perfectly.  

It's so funny, right after I made this card, my husband and I were invited to the wedding of a co-worker.  So now I have the perfect card for the event!

Thanks for visiting and keep scrolling to win the stamp set, Wedding Frills!
