Coffee Bean Mountains

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways to Use It Challenge theme at Splitcoast is 'Mountains'.  My card today is a bit quirky but I'm rolling with it!  The mountains are made from coffee beans, topped with caramel and whipped cream! lol!!!  All of the papers and pre-printed gnomes are from the Coffee Break Gnomes Paper/Die Duos set.  The mountains were cut with the Slimline Mountain Silhouettes Dies. The sentiment is from the 'Perk Up' Stamp/Die Duos set.  Other dies used: Slimline Grasses, Slimline Card Base, Slimline Scalloped Rectangles, Slimline Pierced Rectangles, Slimline Pierced Layering Rectangles, Clouds and Raindrops (tiny hearts).  Foam Mounting Tape was used to pop up the gnomes.

Thanks for visiting!

My card sample today features the fun 'Hug in a Mug' Stamp/Die Duos set, along with the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies set (tiny hearts), ODBD Custom Pierced Circles Dies, ODBD Custom Circles Dies (mat), and the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.  The background was created by swiping two shades of brown ink onto a craft mat, spritzed with water, then instant coffee granules were sprinkled on and allowed to dissolve.  The ink/coffee mixture was then blotted up with a piece of white cardstock.  Once the panel was dry, it was cut with the largest die from the Pierced Rectangles, and again with the next smallest die (this created a frame border which was adhered to the inside panel.)  Five extra mugs were stamped, watercolored, cut with the custom die, then popped up on the card.

Here are the ODBD products used in my card today:

Hi, everyone!  Looking at the gorgeous colors and patterns in the 'Latte Love' Paper Collection from Our Daily Bread designs, I just had to make a quilt pattern!  I used the ODBD Custom Log Cabin Quilt Die with vanilla cardstock (for the frame) first.  I cut out another piece of cardstock which is the same size of the quilt frame, ran it through my Xyron sticker maker, then adhered the vanilla quilt frame to it.  Once I cut out the pattern and orange quilt pieces, I popped them into the frame and pressed them onto the sticker layer.  This is the easiest and quickest way I have found to adhere the quilt pieces together.  The coffee cups from 'Hug in a Mug' Stamp/Die Duos were stamped twice onto vanilla cardstock plus two shades from the 'Latte Love' Paper Collection.  The sentiment was split between the two cups using masking.  Once the cups were paper-pieced together onto the custom die, they were popped up with foam tape over the vanilla seam binding.  The bow was tied using a Bow Easy.  I will be submitting this card to the Spring and Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, which is open until June 1st.

I Love You A Latte!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Wanda aka Wendy2512....congrats, Wanda!!  Wanda's gallery is IMMENSE and it was tough to choose just one card from many years of beautiful creations....I kept coming back to this super cute card!  I started by cutting the large panel with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies from a striped pattern from the ODBD Fall Favorites Paper Collection and the small rectangle was cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies from the ODBD Latte Love Paper Collection.  The coffee cups and sentiment are from the 'Hug in a Mug' Stamp/Die Duos set. The same striped pattern was used to paper piece the right cup and small heart was cut with the ODBD Custom Layering Hearts Dies set.  I added a 2nd sentiment below on a panel cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.  Instead of enamel dots, I used five eyelets which have been in my stash for about 15 years!  This card will go to a co-worker who is taking a leave of absence in order to care for her ailing parents.

Looking Back at the ODBD May New Release

Hi, everyone! Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs May Release.  My projects today feature the 'Turtle Love' Stamp/Die Duos set, the 'Hug in a Mug' Stamp/Die Duos set, and an awesome new fancy fold die set!  For more inspiration using the May Release and to see the other designers projects, be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

Here are the products featured in my two cards below:

First up is a card I made for my hubby with the 'Turtle Love' Stamp/Die Duos set for our 26th anniversary this week.  Instead of coloring the turtle, I chose a monochromatic look which matched the chevron pattern from the 'By The Shore' Paper Collection.  Linen thread and the tiny hearts cut from the ODBD Custom Umbrellas Dies set were used for simple embellishments.  ODBD Custom Rectangles Dies and ODBD Custom Circles Dies were also used in this design.

My second card was created with the ODBD Custom Lever Card Dies, ODBD Custom Lever Card Layers Dies,  'Hug in a Mug' Stamp/Die Duos set, Latte Love Paper Collection, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Squares Dies, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies, ODBD Custom Mini Stitched Hearts Dies, and ODBD Custom Umbrellas Dies.  This photo shows the card folded in and ready for an A2 envelope.

Coffee Is Always A Good Idea!

Happy Saturday, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Audrie's 'My New House Ideas' Pinterest board.  When I saw this awesome coffee station, I was inspired by several aspects of it: coffee (need I say more?!), the gorgeous marble countertop, and the golden leaf handles for the canisters which match the gold tray! The countertop made me want to try the tissue paper technique which I first tried on this card. The coffee pot reminded me of my favorite stamp from the 'I Love Coffee' set by Our Daily Bread designs.....this is my motto!! :) The leaves from 'Autumn Blessings' were gold embossed on gold cardstock, then cut out with the ODBD Custom Fall Leaves and Acorn Dies.  To cut out the sentiment panels, I used the ODBD Custom Ornate Ovals Dies and ODBD Custom Ovals Dies.  Once the tissue paper was adhered to a piece of white cardstock which was ran through a Xyron machine, the panel was cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.  I will also be submitting this to the September Fan Club challenge since the tissue paper has wrinkles in it.  Plus, the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is going on....will submit there as well!

I Love Coffee!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from a scrapbook projects Pinterest board.....I fell in love with this cool page because of the repeated (stamped?) background, pennant flags, and fun layout with the die cut words.  I chose a photo of me from last month on our 25th anniversary cruise....I was enjoying my cuppa joe while relaxing on a bench in Central Park on the ship.  I started by stamping the sentiment from 'I Love Coffee' many times onto a tan piece of designer paper from the ODBD Ephemera Essentials Paper Collection (The polka dot paper is also from this collection).  The stamping alone was a bit plain as is, so I created a reverse mask and sponged red into each heart.  Here is a list of the other dies used in my 6x6 scrapbook page: ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies, ODBD Custom Mini Stitched Hearts, ODBD Custom Alphabet Dies, ODBD Custom 'Faith, Hope, and Love' Dies (unfortunately are now retired). I will also be submitting this to the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.
