Grateful Heart

By KariV on May 11, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hi again! I hope you are having a great day! Today I have some fun cards to share using the May release from Our Daily Bread Designs.

These cards feature the Hug in a Mug Stamp/Die Duo. I love these duo sets…you get the stamps AND the dies to cut out the images. They also have wonderful sentiments to choose from!

Now, I don’t drink coffee, but I DO love to make coffee cards still (like for the coffee lovers blog hop and such…). Just look at how cute these stamps are:

I used the Cups & Mugs dies to cut a heart into the middle of each of the coffee cups, and I put some of the new Latte Love patterned paper behind each one. Doesn’t that just look like the steaming coffee?! (Well, that was the idea behind it anyway! Lol.)

I watercolored each cup using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers (still loving my Zigs!) and popped them up using multiple die cuts of the cup. That sentiment is a favorite of mine: Start each day with a grateful heart!!

You know what would be in my cup? A green drink from Nekter, or a cup of ICE. Ha!

Next, I made a card using more of that paper and a different coffee cup image. I couldn’t resist turning this into a Lever Card!! Did you see my turtle lever card? Check it out here.

Back to my coffee cards…Here’s the front of my Love You a Latte Lever card:

Isn’t that paper cool?! I stamped the image a second time on kraft paper and cut out only the coffee cup sleeve. Then I popped it up using foam tape. I colored the top of the cup with Copics.

Here’s the inside of the card:

I used the stamp to make a watermark on the inside panels. The sentiment “You’re the Cream in my coffee” was perfect for the inside! These lever cards are so fun. I love having the Lever Card Layers Dies to easily make the inside panels. This Lever Card is such a great design!

See you next time!

Easter Greetings with Our Daily Bread Designs

By KariV on March 7, 2018 in Paper Crafting

I’m so excited to announce that I am Guest Designing for Our Daily Bread Designs! I found this company last year and fell in love with their products.

Today, I’m featuring the new Easter Greetings stamp set, which has some GORGEOUS hyacinth flowers! I have always loved these flowers, but I thought they only came in purple. A quick search showed me that they also come in Yellow, Pink, and white. Take a look at this beautiful stamp:

Isn’t it gorgeous?! I heat embossed the stamp first, then used some Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to get the variation in colors on this one. The background is actually dry embossed using a die from Our Daily Bread Designs called Vintage Flourish Pattern. It is a beautiful die when used to cut, too! But here I thought the soft look of embossing was so beautiful.

I used a paper pack called Plum Pizzazz for the background and the Happy Spring purple paper. Such a fun paper pack!

Then, once I learned that Hyacinths come in a variety of colors, I of course had to make another card! I used the same dry embossing technique and created a completely different look:
