STAMPlorations – Holiday TAGplorations – Reminder 2

Posted on November 7, 2016 by melissadawnlane

Hi! I’m excited to be here for STAMPlorations with another reminder post for the first ever Holiday TAGplorations event.

I made a bunch of tags for the kick-off day and as a reminder the day before yesterday. You can see those here or here if you’d like. Remember to comment and link up over at the 4 November post. 🙂

I have 3 tags to share with you today.

I heat embossed the framed coffee cup, masked off the mug, sponged on the red stripes and sponged on the brown around the edges.

This next tag os a long one! I used the smallest die in the luggage tags die set and did some partial die cutting to make the tag base. The mugs are from the Anywhere There’s Coffee set. I fussy cut those. The rainbow cord is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, but I’m not sure if they carry it anymore.

The next tag is another long one and could also be used as a bookmark. img_3561_edited-1 I used the smallest rectangle in the Rectangle Nesting Dies and did some partial die cutting again. I also did some masking and elongated the Framed Tea Cups stamp.

After heat embossing in white, I added Brusho Color Crystals and spray starch. I can’t decide if I’ll use this as a tag or put it in someone’s stocking as a bookmark. 🙂 I love rainbows. It would be fun to get one in my stocking on Christmas morning!

I hope that you enjoyed seeing these tags today. Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace, melissastamplorationsdtbadge

The Fall 2016 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop – Framed Coffee Cup Stamp & Brusho Crystal Colours

Posted on September 30, 2016 by melissadawnlane

Hi!

I have another another bright Fall card to share with you. I designed this with STAMPlorations products for the Fall CLBH.

STAMPlorations is one of the FAll CLBH sponsors and Shery has a bunch Coffee & Tea lover themed products in her store.

Here’s a closer look at my card: I love this new STAMPlorations stamp, Framed Coffee Cup.Besides the stamp I also used the ARTplorations’ Stencils Some Birds and Chevron Crazy.

How I made this card:

I made the background by stenciling on water color paper with Brusho Crystal Colours and the Chevron Crazy stencil.
I stamped the Framed Coffee Cup in embossing ink and then heat embossed in white embossing powder on the chevron background.
I added some details and shading to the cup with some Zig Clean Color Brush Pens.
I added some steam with a liquid chalk pen.
I stenciled on the birds.
Matted the chevron panel.
Added the matted panel to the black card base.
