Coffee Loving Cardmakers 2016 Fall Blog Hop

10:00:00 PM

Hello, crafty friends!
Finally today is coming! 2016 Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall blog hop has started! I'm so thrilled to join this season's blog hop in the start day as a guest designer of this month. Before getting to my card, check out some notice below.


When: Friday, September 23 – Friday, September 30
Time: 6 am pacific
THEME: Fall
USE: coffee, tea &/or cocoa images
National Coffee Day Sept 29
#fall2016clh
 
As always they have ton of amazing sponsors and prizes. How fun! You just add your link to HERE with newly created fall themed coffee, tea or cocoa project.
 
Need some inspiration? Then,
1) You can look around designer's project of this month on the Coffee loving cardmakers. They've created gorgeous fall cards to help you.
2) You probably know that I've really enjoyed making tea&coffee themed cards. Check out 'Tea & coffee card' label on my blog or my Instagram or 3 links to my recommendation in the bottom of the post:)
 
 And here is my project I made for today.
 
For me, fall is my favorite season with milk tea, latte, cozy clothes and yummy foods. I expressed some of them on interactive card. Let's get started!
 
I began with making flop card shape to the white card base using 'Die-namics flop card-circle' (MFT). At the same time, I die cut the cream color pineapple patten paper, too. I then glued them together. Using same die cut, I made sparkling circle panel with glitter paper.

 

Next, I stamped tea pot and tea cup image and circle solid image from The ton on another card stock using Versafine 'Onyx black' and Mama elephant 'Brown sugar'. I then stamped milk foam on the cup with white pigment ink (Hero arts 'Unicorn') but it wasn't applied well so I drew the line using white jell pen.

Stamped pigs of 'Hog heaven'(MFT) is a gift from friend of mine:) I created them as coffee fairy! I drew coffee bean wreath and necklace to them and added colors using Zig cleancolor real brush. I like how them turned out!

For bottom border of inside the card, I die cut 'Die-namics Hello beautiful'(MFT) and ink blended it using distress inks (Vintage photo, Ground espresso). I then splattered a bit of water to it.

Back to the front part, I created pouring coffee look using distress ink. I ink blended with little tough touch and spritzed water for express tiny coffee bean powder and coffee oils that I normally found in the coffee brewed using french press.

I embellished beads on the coffee part using Pico embellisher 'clear' and stamped sentiments from 'Hug in a mug'(The ton). To finished off, I mounted all pieces where I wanted them using double sided tape and foam tape. 


That's all for today. Now, it's your turn! I hope find lots of your links in the Coffee loving Cardmakers blog hop page exceeding 811 entries of last summer hop. I'll be back with another card during hop days. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hugs,
Dana.
