Happiness is a good...Coffee

Good morning everybody!! I am excited to be sharing my Kat Scrappiness Design Team project that I created for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop which started today and runs through June 1st.

How sweet is this?!?! I wanted to go for a bright colored card because bright vibrant colors make me think Summer, and right about now, after the harsh Winter most of us have had to endure, I can't wait for Summer to get here!

I started off by creating my card base using 110lb. Neenah Solar White Card Stock. This card base is an A2 sized card base, which measures 4-1/4"W x 5-1/2"H. The patterned paper I chose to use if from the Cream and Sugar 6x6 paper pad from Doodlebug Design Inc. I cut both pieces of the chosen paper down to measure, 4-1/8"W x 5-3/8"H.

I then chose to use the Fancy Scalloped Stitched Border Dies by Kat Scrappiness to die cut one sheet of my patterned paper.

I used the Layered Coffee Cup Die by Kat Scrappiness to created my Coffee Cup. The cup was created using French Vanilla Bazzill Card Stock and the cup lid was created using Avalanche Bazzill Card Stock. The coffee cup sleeve was created using more patterned paper from the Cream and Sugar 6x6 Paper Pad from Doodlebug Design Inc.

I knew that I somehow wanted to create and incorporate a shaker element into my coffee cup. Because I was going with somewhat of a heart theme as well, I decided to use my Hearts Custom Craft Dies by Lawn Fawn to achieve that desired look. I die cut three different sized hearts out of the coffee sleeve and adhered a piece of acetate behind it.

Once my acetate was adhered and dried, I then added thin strips of foam tape as I wanted my shaker element to be elevated and "pop" from the card.  I used a combination of both the Chocolate Truffle and Caramel Latte Sequin Mixes from Kat Scrappiness as my shaker elements. These sequin mixes are absolutely perfect for any coffee themed or even chocolate themed projects you may want to create.

Once my Coffee Cup Shaker was complete, it was time to assemble and complete my card. I layered and adhered my patterned papers onto my card base. I stamped part of my sentiment, "happiness is a good..." on the top half of my card using one of the stamps from the Espresso Yourself Clear Stamp Set by Sugar Pea Designs. For the second half of my card sentiment, I die cut the word "coffee" using the "Got Coffee?" Die by Kat Scrappiness and adhered it onto the bottom half of my card.  I then adhered one of the smallest hearts that was die cut from the coffee sleeve when creating my shaker to the bottom right corner of my coffee cup to complete the card.

I hope that you have enjoyed my quick tutorial on how I created this coffee themed card for you today.

Easter Card Inspiration for the KaDoodle Bug Designs Easter Challenge

Good morning crafty friends! Today I am excited to stop in and share two Easter cards that I have created as inspiration for the Tic-Tac-Toe Easter Challenge going on now through April 1st over at KaDoodle Bug Designs. Feel free to stop by and check out all of the details here.

For my two cards, I have used the Eggie Buddies Easter Chick file and the Oh for Peeps Sake! file.

I started off by uploading these two files to my Cricut Design Space, re-sizing each and then cutting out all the pieces with my Cricut Explore Air 2.  Each piece was then inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and all was adhered together using Art Glitter Glue.

On the "Oh for Peeps Sake!" card, I used ReCollections Glitter on the letters to make "Peeps" stand out and add a little interest.  On the "Happy Easter" card I added some bling to one of the eggs using Hero Arts - Hero Hues self-adhesive gems. I also stamped my Happy Easter sentiment onto one of the eggs using Lawn Fawn's "Some Bunny" Stamp Set.

As for the base of my cards, I used 110lb. ReCollections White card stock. My card mats were created using Lawn Fawn's "Gotta Have Gingham" 6x6 petite paper pad and each were die cut using the "Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Die" from Kat Scrappiness.

To finally finish off these cards, I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops for added interest and a bit of dimension.

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials (some with links to products) that I have used in the creation of these cards:
