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!

Thank for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments

Until Next Time...........

Wedding Card

Hello - Helle here with my last post as Design Team Member of the Coffee Beans Design Team.

I chose to make the lovely Wedding Cake that Anne Ingram designed and that you can find in the Etsy Store and the flowers are designed by Annie Collins.

This time I did a mixture of print and cut and coloring in the image.

The cake, background and the card are all print and cut - papers are from BoBunny's Digi collection "Country Garden" 

I used Promarkers to color in the flowers and used a Glitter Gelly Roll pen for the flower centers.

Finally I found a fun adhesive pearl swirl for the cake to give it that last WOW factor.

Thank you for visiting. Thank you to the Lady Beans/The Coffee Beans for having me on their team. I've really enjoyed my time here and will be following you on the sideline from now on.

Our blessed month of Ramadan is coming in 5 days.  I cannot wait. I had to make a Ramadan wish card. These roses from Annie Collins were the best to display my sentiment from Altenew.  I colored using Stampin Up's Stampin Blends Markers. Everyone knows that Salima cannot live without bling.  The Roses have glitter on them to give them a little pop.  The image was cut out by my Scan N Cut and then layered on Basic Black card stock and printed card stock. The sentiment is from Altenew wishing the receiver "May This Ramadan Be Your Best Ever" stamped on a label with a gold outline and embossed in Gilded Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe.  Gold sequins finish off this card. 

So Very Sorry

I could not resist. I had to make another card. These tulips are just so beautifully designed by our very own Annie Collins. Even though this is a sympathy card, the bright tulips on the blue background make it bright and cheery.  Tulips were colored by Stampin Up Stampin Blends.  Pool Party card stock layered on to matching designer series paper.  Tulips were embossed with gold embossing powder as well as the sentiment So Very Sorry.  Bling is Salima's middle name.. Added 5 gold sequins to finish the card 

Happy Easter from the Lady Beans!

This is Jacqueline and I am excited to share my Easter project with you. I used the egg stamp created by our very talented Annie Collins. This was such a fun card to create. This stamp would be ideal to use to create a tag or put on a gift bag. I can think of many projects that you could use this stamp on.

You can purchase this image from The Multi Crafters Cafe. cafe.  This image, along with many other are included in the album "The Coffee Bean Stamp Machine.

This time of year, we are reminded how wonderful life is and that summer will soon be here. I think that this adorable image is a great reminder that life is indeed good!

I created a 6x6 card. I used paper from my stash. I wanted to highlight the beautiful eggs, so I used a robin blue paper behind the two eggs. I propped one egg up. I did use an organza ribbon and two sweet sentiments.

I colored this image with my hodge podge of Spectrum Noir markers:

Background of the eggs - OR1
Leaves - AG1 and AG2
Sunflower - CT1, CT 3, and GB5
Small flowers - PV2
Rabbit - BG2, BG3, BG4, AND IG6 with a touch of CR3 in the ears

To add dimension of put more than one layer of OR1 around the edge of the egg and outline the flower and the rabbit. Shading adds dimension - so don't be afraid to shade and highlight!

Please follow me on my Face Book Creative Paper Crafting with Jacquie. Please join in on the fun at The Coffee Bean Challenge Blog and in the Facebook group The Multi Crafters Cafe.  

Until next time, take care and Happy Easter to you!

Hanging Easter Eggs

Next week Easter begins and usually I decorate a bit for the Holiday but this year I can't find my stuff after the move. So I figured I would make a thing or two this year.

My DT assignment this time was these two Easter Eggs made by Annie Collins (these are available for purchase via Anne Ingram in The Multi Crafters Craft Cafe Albums) :

I printed two sets out and colored them in with my Promarkers and then used the Print 'n Cut setting on my Silhouette Cameo, to cut them out. 

Then I made an offset of the eggs and cut out two of each in AC Cardstock.

I found two cute Egg Doilies in the Silhouette Design Store design ID # 40140 designed by Megan Hardy and cut both out of Pearl Paper in pastel colors matching those of the offset cutouts.

Finally I glued the digi stamps onto the offset cutouts and glued one on each side of the Egg Doilies and voila....two new hanging Easter Eggs.

One in pastel purple/pink:

And the other in Pastel blue/Ocean Blue:

 These are pretty big but it's very easy to downsize them so they could hang from a branch in your Easter Decoration.

Thanks for joining me today - please let me know in a comment if you liked this project.
I hope you'll have a Happy Easter and remember to stay safe.
