Introducing new Springtime Coffee ATC's from STAMPlorations!

 Hello and welcome crafty friends!

I'm delighted to show you the new Springtime Coffee ATC's

 (Artist Trading Cards) that are available now 

in the STAMPlorations store!

I love everything about these ATC's: the colors, the images, and backgrounds!

(insert chef's kiss here!)

I used one of the cards and created a birthday card:

Using the Crazy double running stitch nesting rectangle die, I cut out a panel from

the coffee bean paper included in The Coffee House Collage Paper Pack. My

sentiment is from the Literary Caffeine-ations stamp set.

The coffee grinder ATC looks fabulous with that paper!

For my next project, I made a trio of ATC's:

I went around the edges with Crackle texture paste. Once dry I blended over

it with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. I stuck a few stickers from the

Shine Bright clear stickers package onto scrap cardstock, trimmed and

adhered with foam squares. I added some twine to finish them off.

Aren't these ATC's gorgeous?!! I had so much fun creating with them.

Shery has been showcasing all the new collage papers and ATC's over

that you can read all about here. An amazing deal, that!

 Hello and welcome crafty friends!

You might have heard that STAMPlorations

has added collage papers to their 

arsenal of amazing products, which

will be available for purchase individually on March 15.

Today I'm delighted to show you what

I created with The Coffee House paper pack.

This is only one of nine gorgeous paper packs that will be available on 

March 15th, but check out this crafty math: 

Individual paper packs launch March 15th for $10 each, BUT...you can

That's 3 full packs (45 sheets!) curated

 by project type: Art Journaling, Vintage Storytelling, or Botanical Bliss.

They ship immediately! Get them before the individual launch at STAMPlorations.com

 

I created a card for my first project.

 I used a snippet of the coffee bean paper and added a strip of gold 

glitter paper because who doesn't love a little sparkle?!

I glued another of the papers onto heavy weight card stock and

fussy cut this pretty latte image from it.

The Thanks a latte word die is triple cut, stacked and glued

together and then onto the card.

My second project is a fun project: Recipe cards, using

all three paper images.

I cut 3" x 5" heavy weight white cardstock, glued the papers to them,

and then trimmed the excess paper once dry. I used a hole punch

in one corner and added them to a ring. I found some brown alpha 

stickers in my stash and added the "Recipes" to the top card. Recipes

 can then be written on the back sides of the card. So cute!

These papers are GORGEOUS and so much fun to play with!

at STAMPlorations today!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that you have

a great rest of your day!

thing that's cold on my card is the milk carton. 😄

Sometimes there are no words

 Hello and happy March 1st to you!

I just wanted to pop in and share

a card I made last night.

This flower is a new to me die cut that I purchased recently.

Before I had everything glued together, I thought that

the scalloped panel looked too plain. I stamped a couple

texture stamps to add some interest before I glued

it all in place.

Here is the finished inside:

Unfortunately, I've been in need of sympathy cards lately

and used the two I had on hand, so I needed to replenish.

My card is based on Freshly Made Sketches #725.

Thanks for visiting. We are off to take advantage of this

gorgeous warm weather and go hiking.

Enjoy your day!
