Love My Coffee

Welcome! Hope you have time for a cup of coffee!  I'll tell my DH to pour another one.  My DH is the coffee barista in the house and this cute digi  from Dearie Dolls reminds me of him in a way....but he does not have a moustache.  But he is always ready to serve a cup of hot coffee. 

I printed this colored digital image (never used before) from my stash of images on white card stock.  I added some color to the shoes and skin tones with Copics.   Added some red foil to his kerchief using some quick glue and added glossy accents to the cup and shoes.  Printed the sentiment with Angelface font which I just downloaded. ( Been looking for a hand written script like this and found it.)

Finished the card by inking the edges of the trimmed image with a Black Copic and attaching it to a card base of patterned paper with circles. 

Challenges:

Artsystamper Digital Challenge: #10 Hot Drinks

Use Your Stuff: #392 Circles-I used patterned paper with circles from my stash.

Pour a Cup of Coffee

Hello!  Today I am playing with a digi stamp from STAMPlorations called Autumn Pumpkin Mug that I printed on white cardstock and colored with Copics.  I fussy cut the mug and popped  it up on a corresponding color CS  and a panel of Pumpkin patterned paper (printed from a digital file from Kate Cuttables).  The sentiment stamp is an old Mark's Finest Papers stamp. 

I would love to have some real mugs just like the paper one on my card for our morning coffee.

Challenges:
 Modsquad Challenge: Fall Beverage theme.  Thought this mug was perfect for this challenge.

Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 552- Food/Drink

Use Your Stuff: #335 Mood Board.  Inspired by the fall colors and the fall drink on the board.  

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Time for a Cup of Java

 

My post today is a card that I made for the challenge Inspired by All the Little Things #24 shown below.   I started by creating a background with an Aqua CS that I embossed with a Woodgrain EF and inked with brown and caramel inks.  I stamped the Stack of Cups with a MFP stamp from Oh Beans set on Blue CS with Versamark and embossed with Clear EP.  Did some shading with markers and then fussy cut the cups.  Assembled the card with 2 shades of Kraft CS.  Added Thanks sentiment stamped with a Repeat Impressions stamp with Brown ink.

 

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Coffee and Doughnuts

Hello!  I love my coffee in the morning.   I begin each day with my DH making and serving me coffee.....thus my card reads "Your love sustains me" an older stamp from GKD Life is Good set on my card.  The Coffee Cup stamp is from GKD Signs of Autumn.  I colored the cup with Pencils and OMG. Since I wanted to add some Doughnuts and do not have a Doughnut stamp, I simply cut mine with circle dies and colored with Copics and Stickles and then sprinkled with Wilton Sugar Stickles. 
Other Supplies: GKD Ivory CS, MME Pattern Paper, SU Close to Cocoa ink, Glossy Accents.

Challenges:
Stamp TV: Mix It Up Monday Challenge Coffee, Tea, Sweets, O My!
Tuesday Morning Sketches: # 357 Sketch.  This was a great layout for Coffee and Doughnuts.

Have a Cup of Java

Hello!  Yes, I have another CAS card ...this one is for CAS-ology cue card challenge JAVA.  I found this pattern paper and sticker from Crate Paper collection DIY Shop.  I thought the paper represented a morning sunrise and I must always have my coffee early in the morning.  I assembled the paper and label on a Red card base and added the cup of coffee using a GKD stamp that I paper pieced with red CS and stamped "Coffee" with MFP's Oh, Beans stamp in Memento Rich Cocoa.  That's all, folks.

Take Time for a Cup of Coffee

Have a cup of Coffee?   I always begin my day with a cup of coffee. I made this card to enter in several challenges.  I began by using the sketch from Tuesday Morning sketches shown below. I stamped the cup on light tan cs with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and cut with Nesties Lacey circle die and then added Glossy Accents to the cup. Using a card base of the same tan cs, I added a layer of MME's Pattern paper from 6X6 pad on the upper part and Kraft CS stamped with words in Memento Espresso Truffle to the lower area. Attached these 2 sections and a Rust Grograin Ribbon to the base.  Added the image with pop up dots. Stamped some coffee beans with Memento Rich Cocoa to the upper corner and added Glossy Accents for texture. Finished with metal tabs from soda cans for some texture and a masculine touch. Stamps are all from Mark's Finest Papers "Oh, Beans" set.

Challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches: Shown below

I was playing with a MFP's Stamp "Oh, Beans" and created 2 very different but similar CAS cards. The first is one layer  stamped on kraft cs and colored with pencils and oms. It seems a little flat.
The second card was stamped on white cs, colored with Copics, and attached to a brown card base.

Challenges:
One Layer Wednesday: Cheers -create a card with some kind of drink on it
Less is More: Challenge is drinks.
Speedy TV Simple Salutations: Anything goes with a sentiment

Supplies for both cards:

What is your fave drink...coffee or tea? Mine is coffee which my husband makes every morning...grinding the beans daily  and serving me a cup as soon as I get out of bed. Our coffee of choice is Millstone® Colombian Supremo .
I will make one of these cards a thank you to him for making each day begin with a steaming cup of java. How great is that?

I love coffee, I love tea

Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup ....
