Coffee Loving Cardmakers May Guestie

Good morning, lovelies! I'm so excited to be guesting over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today. I'm sharing several cards, old and new, over there but have one more for you right here.

It is finally feeling like summer around here, which means pretty green grass & plants (my favorite color) and iced coffee!


Yummy yum yum! I broke out some of my new toys to make up this summery card. The stamps are from Lil' Inkers Designs and are colored in with my Kuretake Zig Clean Color Brush markers.


The stencil is from So Suzy Stamps and I made my own ombre greens by mixing Ranger Glossy Embossing Paste with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. After it was all dry I cut my panel down with one of Lil' Inkers wonky stitched dies (which are crazy fun, by the way), popped my iced coffee on with some foam tape, and attached the whole panel with some Fun Foam for dimension.


Be sure to stop by the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog to see the rest of my caffeinated creations for today, and Happy Crafting!

Rainbow Tulip Garden

Happy May! We've had so many fun stamps released so far this year at So Suzy Stamps that we've decided to take a breather and revisit them all. I'll be playing with the March release again, full of pretty flowers and fun sentiments!

I'm enjoying the latest Online Card Class featuring vellum and acetate, so look what I came up with:


A rainbow tulip garden! The entire front panel of the card is vellum which I added a rainbow of dye inks to. Once it was dry(ish) I heat embossed the Tulip Background stamp in white over the top.


A little diecutting and more heat embossing got me the fun strip for the sentiment. I love how pretty the Fancy Happy Birthday looks in gold. There's a matching white strip on the back of the vellum to hide the adhesive.


I left the inside super simple - the Never Grow Up sentiment and Nuvo drops line up with the white cardstock strips so you can't see them when the card is closed.

We do have some new releases today - more Nuvo Drops and a new line of stencils! Woohoo!


Happy Crafting!
