Beach Christmas in July!! Coffee Beans July2020

Welcome Back Friends,

It is the end of July already!! Time is flying. July is the time I begin to think about the holidays, as in what gifts I need to buy and for whom, so it only seemed fitting that I celebrate Christmas in July! The Images I have used are hand drawn by Janet Treishman for The Coffee Beans design team.

Be sure to visit our blog, The Coffee beans Blog and see what my team mates have been up to!

The Beach. Images by Janet Vanlone Trieschman

Hello Everyone hope you are all doing well! This month we have had a few ups and downs but we are back on form again!!! A very big thank you to Janet Van lone  Trieschman for the fantastic graphics! I do hope you like what we have all produced. 

I have always thought fish look so lonely in a tank and just want to be in the sea with their buddies! This is my depiction. 

Lots of bright colour, all spectrum noir! And a bit of imagination!!! 

Thank you for looking. 

Much love 

Anne 

The beach is the best way to make someone feel better. The palm trees are digital image from Anne Ingram. I printed 2 and fussy cut them out. Colored then with Stampin Up Stampin Blends. Background was made with Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Antique Linen, Broken China, Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. Sentiment is an old stamp from Crackerbox and Suzy Stamps.  A nice pick me up card.  

Sunny happy days

I used the palm tree digital image from the Coffee Bean design team to make this card.

Oh how I wish I could be relaxing out at the beach right now…

I used a Kindred stamps stencil to make the clouds. The “sand” paper is from Lawn Fawn. I used a happy die to finish it off with glossy accents.

Today I’m using a file from Janet van lone trieschman

I used my markers to colour in and cut round the images to give them dimension I used my inks and blended in the back ground I also did 3 copies of the tree and layered it up I really enjoyed using this file thank you for looking 

Anniversary Love!

Your soul mate can only be one of a kind, right?  This card will tell your significant other that, yep you are definitely one of a kind. As I was making this card, I thought that this would be an awesome anniversary card. But I soon realized that you can probably even give this card on your wedding day to your loved one. Of course because of my South Asian background, I chose bright and bold colors like red and gold to accentuate it. 

The Image is from our Lady Beans friend Annie Collins. You can find the image here:

This is a couple image, however I only used the groom on my card. The designer paper is something that I found in my stash, matted with black and then on a Whisper White A2 card base.  Random dots were placed with Nuvo drops for a little dimension to this card. My groom's "skirt" was colored with the same Nuvo drops and a paint brush. Hope you enjoy this card. Make sure you give some love to your "One of A Kind" 

Hit The Road Jack Coffee Bean July 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here sharing my project for the Coffee Beans Blog for July. How cute is this VW Bus hand drawn by our very own Annie Collins??

I graduated high school in 1975, saying that to say, VW Buses were on the road! I never owned a VW till I married a VW lover, with a 1972 Super Beetle and a 1974 VW Thing. Always wanted a bus though.

I created my tag in the likeness of a VW bus I often seen on the streets of my home town!

                                               I hope you get to Hit The Road, Jack!

Annie Collins designs are amazing!!!.

Hi Everyone just a quick blog for me this week. Our dear Annie Collins has been made up to lead illustrator and I am thrilled to bits to be able to do a complete week of Annie's illustrations in a formal presentation! Not only that, I am able to  use this image for my monthly blog .

I have always loved cars but vintage is my favourite .

I simply coloured this image with my silver liner pen and tn4 from spectrum noir the roof was coloured with gg5 spectrum noir and then I went over it with the black spectrum noir Glitter pen .

It seemed appropriate to make it into a fathers day card, even though father's day has gone. There is always next year.

Thank you so much for joining me here
Hugs
Anne

Let's Go For A Ride

Greetings lovely people.

Today's card is simple. We don't always have to be elaborate with our creations. Sometimes simple makes the right statement.

I wanted to highlight the lovely classic car image created by our own Annie Collins (available in the Lady Beans Etsy store).

I printed the image and colored it using American Crafts metallic markers and Ohuhu alcohol markers. I then printed a background of a country road (and included a sentiment - all done in Microsoft Publisher) near where I live. I took this picture a few years ago. It is the perfect compliment to this lovely image. Hopefully it will inspire you to integrate some of your own images into your creations. We all take lots of photos with our phones so let's use them to our advantage.

I then mounted the car onto the photo and mounted both onto a 5 x 7 card. Voila! A simple yet elegant card to give for any occasion. As a matter of fact, it would be great to send to a friend at this time in our lives when we all want to get out a bit. Why not just go for a ride? Social distancing made easy.

I hope you enjoy the card. Have a blessed day.

I think Annie Collins did an awesome job with this image. I used copic markers to color the car. The clouds and sentiment are from my Lawn Fawn stash. I kept this clean and simple so I can use this for a guy card.
