Twofer July Card Challenge Beverage

Another fun Twofer Challenge: Beverage!

You still have until the 24th to play along.

My Twofer Coffee Mug cards!

Close up of 1st card using 4 1/4" Square Format.

I stamped my STAMPlorations "Holiday Mug" designed by Shirley of Bee's Knees 

using Archival black ink onto a piece of Splash Technique that I had in my stash. 

Then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I had used the Splash Technique on Arches 140# Cold Press watercolor paper.

I had used greens, blues and yellow Distress Oxides.

I love the color combo.

I then fussy cut the mug with my papersnips 

and watercolored the coffee section with DOX Walnut Stain ink.

Next I stamped the sentiment using MISTI and

shaped mug with bone folder and attached with dimensionals to a layer 

of cold press paper for added texture.  

Adding a thin frame of SU Cucumber Crush CS and

popped up with fun foam onto SU Very Vanilla Thick CS card base and Done!

Close up of 2nd card using SU retired Designer Series Papers.

After purging my craft room,  I was determined to use DSP's and CS from my supplies.

My 1st card I used CS and this card I used Christmas DSP's from 2 different

retired SU designs.  Hardly made a dent,  but...heh,  at least I am using!

I love Cherry Cobbler and Crumbcake for Christmas Colors.

I even used ribbon...oh my!!!

I stamped the Holiday Mug onto the DSP using Archival black ink.

Colored the coffee section with SU Chocolate Chip marker.

Added Wink of Stella and SU rhinestones to the snowflakes and attached

mug to fun foam and set aside.

Next die cut the polka dot Christmas DSP with PB Antique Frame Die and 

die cut fun foam with same die and attached to each other.

Added SU retired Cherry Cobbler ribbon to background and added another

small die cut frame with the DSP and attached stamped sentiment.

Attached popped up main image to SU Whisper White Thick CS card base

and attached mug and done!

Pleased with the results and happy to have another Christmas card for my stash.

I am adding my 1st card to this months CAS Watercolour Challenge...Splash Watercolouring.

CAS Watercolour July Splash for a friend

 I am hosting the CAS Watercolour Challenge  Splash Watercolour Technique.

It is one of my favorites,  so I will be sharing a couple extra cards this month.

Be sure and check out all the creative cards by our talented DT and 

awesome Guest Designer Marcia (marciakdesigns).

 My card using  the Alexandra Renke "Snowdrop" Dies with a Splash Watercolor Background!

I have spent the last week working hours each day on a Big Purge of my 

guest/craft room.  A lot of work,  but the plus side is finding

beautiful treasures that can be made into cards.

I found this beautiful Distress Ink Splash Background on hot press paper in my stash.

I followed Loll's Splash Background Technique video.

I used Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick and Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks.

The background was die cut with MB Stitched Rectangle die.

Because of my dear friend, Hideko's (Papercraft Boutique) beautiful new cards using 

dies by Alexandra Renke,  I could not resist ordering from SSS my 1st die set.."Snowdrops".

This is a German company,  but SSS does have a nice selection of their products.

I stacked 3 die cuts of each flower cut from SU Whisper White Thick CS.

Attaching layers with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen 

and weighted down with a large acrylic block.

Then die cut the Splash background with the Snowdrop dies and 

set those dies aside for later use.

Inlaid my stacked Snowdrops and stamped SU sentiment. 

Popped up sentiment with dimensionals.

Then popped up my main image using fun foam and attached to 

SU Whisper White Thick CS and Done!

Thank you again, Hideko for the inspiration and for your friendship.  Hugs...
