kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s a quick and easy coffee-themed birthday card using older stamp sets from my stash. I love the modern graphic style of this coffee set!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7” x 6” and scored at 3-1/2″. I also cut a piece to 3-1/4 x 5-3/4″, and another piece to 1 x 5-3/4″.

For the background piece, I stamped the smaller images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) with Catherine Pooler Sand Castle Ink and then I used the direct-to-paper technique with S’mores Ink to color the strip.

I stamped the espresso maker from Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Rockin’ Red, Pebble, and Oh Boy! inks. I popped them up using Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) and Sugar Pea Designs Espresso Yourself Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with S’mores Ink and Cranberry Fizz and fussy cut it out.

I left the inside of the card blank and added a S’mores-colored espresso maker.

Shop Your Stash: Flat Shaker Using Older Stamps feat. Catherine Pooler Designs

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Continuing on my quest to make birthday cards and give new life to some older supplies, I made this flat shaker. I pulled out some older Catherine Pooler Designs stampsets for this one and combined it with some modern elements like the flat shaker to create a fun interactive card!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base and another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I stamped one of the graphic images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) with Catherine Pooler Designs Sand Castle Ink and then ink blended the background to create a gradient with Catherine Pooler Designs Sand Castle Ink and Catherine Pooler Designs Over Coffee Ink.

I adhered the panel to one of the Trinity Stamps A-2 Card Flat Acetate Shaker Pouches. You must adhere three sides first, add your sequins then seal the fourth side. I used Honey Bee Stamps Freshly Brewed Sequin Mix, as well as some aqua and yellow ones from my stash.

I stamped the coffee cup, graphic image, and beans from Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Hot Tub and Over Coffee Inks. I stamped the diagonal stripe piece from Catherine Pooler Designs For Everything Stampset (discontinued) with CP Sauna Ink.

I cut out a circle from Vellum using the Stampin’ Up! Layering Circle Dies. And stamped a sentiment onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ from Catherine Pooler Designs For Everything Stampset (discontinued) and Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages: Birthday Stampsets and fussycut around it. I used some Foam Tape to pop up the coffee cup and some of the beans.

I left the inside of the card blank and added the same diagonal stripe piece from Catherine Pooler Designs For Everything Stampset (discontinued) which I stamped with Catherine Pooler Designs Hot Tub Ink. I also added some beans.
