Happy Father's Day BookMark, Coffee Beans June 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with the Lady Beans Blog, sharing my project using the most adorable image  Jesse Boy Bear, from  Bug A Boo Stamps , for Fathers Day.

My father has been gone for 22 years, I miss him everyday.  He was an avid reader, and hence very smart.  I know how much he would of loved my bookmark !!

I colored my image with colored pencils, fussy cut the bear out. Inserted pattern paper, that I stamped Happy Fathers Day onto, and then inserted that into the bookmark sleeve, and then adhered Jesse Boy Bear to the front of the bookmark. I love the dimension with the image on the outside of the sleeve.

Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments

Until Next time....

Jesse Boy Bear

Father's Day is this Friday here in Denmark. It's the same day as our Constitution Day....figures ;-) 

Well all Dads deserve recognition for their devotion, love and hard work but sadly I lost my Dad several years ago, so I will have to make due with sending a loving thought to where ever he might be.

I might not get to send him this card but I made it anyhow….maybe it more fitting for my kids to give to their Dad but no matter what - I made for Father's Day :-)

I used the darling Jesse Boy Bear Digi Stamp from Bugaboo Stamps:

This time I used the same technique as last  - the Print and Cut function. I thought it would save me some time.....LOL....NOT!

If I choose to do this another time, I need to make sure I have the right patterned paper I want because I spent a lot of time searching for some but found this at Creative Fabrica.

I wanted a watercolor look - so it looks colored in. 

I also made the shaped card with  my Silhouette Cameo. Simply by making an Offset of the stamp, duplicate the offset and flip the duplicate horizontally. Then I overlap the two offsets, weld them together and make a scoreline down the middle. Very simple and easy.

I did not make a sentiment to put on the card - simply in case I choose to use it for something else.

Happy Father's Day to all Dads out there and thank you so much for stopping by.

Jesse Bear Celebrates Bonus Dad's Day

This cute little bear is named Jesse. He is a Digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps Today Jesse is helping me celebrate Dad's Day for a special dad.  My real father passed away 23 years ago. I have Bonus Dad. He has been a great part of my mother's, my children's and my own life for the last 15 years. He has been very supportive for our lives. He has given much love to the family as if he always has been from the beginning.  The base is an A2 size card made from Whisper White card stock. Layered with Real Red and Whisper White and then Real Red again.  The last layer of Real Red was sprayed with Art Anthology's Colorations Spray in Gilded Gold to give it a little pop without girly glitter.  Jesse is colored with colored pencils in basic colors.  The sentiments were typed in word and printed out on Whisper White card stock since i really did not any stamp sets to commemorate Father's Day. Inside is a cute fun fold to make the sentiments pop that I just learned how to complete today.

The middle strip is 1 3/4 x 11 and score at 2 3/4 in, 5 1/2 in and 8 1/4 in.  Fold at the score lines to make a mountain fold.  Attach the strip to the bottom of the inside of the card right in the middle with strong adhesive.  then fold the strip down and add adhesive to the top portion of the folded strip.  Close the A2 size card to have the strip attach to the top. When you open the card, it becomes a pop up card.  The sentiments as I said before were hand typed by me, printed on Whisper White card stock and then cut out.  The Real Red backing for the sentiment are 2 1/4  in by 2 3/4 in.  I also sprayed them with the Colorations spray to give them a patterned look.  This card was very fun to make. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  .

Wishing Ewe.....

Hey hey hey…..Helle of My Creative Hideout here with a little wooly project that fits all kinds of celebrations.

The digi stamp I used this time, is sponsored by:

With Mother's Day coming up and lots of Birthdays etc. I thought it fitting to make a little box that can hold a chocolate bar. Who doesn't love to receive chocolate?

My choice fell on the 3D Mummy Candy Box designed by Jamie Cripps (Silhouette Design Store design ID #68840) but only the box itself, so I stripped it of all the unnecessary parts and added a

panel with the darling digi stamp Wishing Ewe.

The background on the panel is also one I found in the Silhouette Design Store design ID #22287 by Rivka Wilkins.

I colored in the stamp with Promarkers along with a grey Sharpie, a glittery Gelly Roll and a white Sharpie for the eye highlights.

I also added a few enamels dots for a little something extra.

Then I put the chocolate bare inside…..

….and it's ready to be given away to someone special.

Thanks for joining me today

Wishing Ewe a Great Day!

Wishing Ewe

Hello, this is Jacqueline with the Lady Beans. I just love this little ewe. She is a star! Wishing Ewe is by Bugaboo Stamps.

I created a 6x6 card. I love using alcohol markers to color. I decided to use my Blick Studio Markers for this stamp. I like to show that you can blend and shade with the different brands of alcohol markers. You can even mix them together.

The sentiment that comes with this stamp is "Wishing Ewe", which is just perfect. I did decide to use a different sentiment for my card this time. Wishing Ewe reminds me of a Fairy Godmother granting wishes. Wouldn't that be nice?

Blick Studio Markers:

Hair = Camel, Walnut, and Dark Umber
Face - Camel, Tan, and Shell
Skirt - Pink, and Very Berry
Fur - Coral Peach, Rose Petal, and Peach Blush
Wings - Canary Yellow and Light Periwinkle
Wand  and Shoes- Purple and Lilac
Tights - Pink and Coral Pink
I outline the image with Warm Gray 10% and Warm Gray 20%

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!

Love Monsters

Hello everyone :-) Helle from My Creative Hideout has hijacked the blog ;-)

Today it's my turn to show a little DT project for the Coffee Beans Design Team 

This time I made a Flip Flap Card that I found in the Silhouette Design Store ID #136973 by Lori Whitlock and I used the cute Love Monsters digi Stamp.

I got the idea of the little monsters being caught inside the jar, ready to be given to someone special either as a Mother's Day card or maybe (in these crazy times) a Get Better Card. No matter the occasion, these darlings are sure to bring the message of love :-)

I used AC Cardstock, pattern paper from Doodlebug Design's Fairytales Collection and a piece of Acetate (doesn't show at all on this picture). The lid is made from Bazzill Bling Cardstock.

I colored in the stamp with Promarkers.

Now it's ready to be shipped of to someone special.

The Love Monsters digi stamp I've used is sponored by:

Bunny on Cloud Nine

Hello everyone - My name is Helle Bilde Müller of My Creative Hideout and I'm a new member on the Coffee Beans Design Team. I am very excited to be here and hope to bring something new and fresh to the team if possible.

Today I want to start out with not one…..not two…..but three projects I made with the darling digi stamp Easter Bunny Hot Air Balloon from Bugaboo Stamps.

For all three projects I used the trace and the offset options in my Silhouette Studio software and print and cut the images. Then I colored them in by hand.

First of is a cute 3D picture:

This cute picture is one I found in the Silhouette Design Store design ID #141563

I simply switched out the ballon with the digi stamp that I've colored in with Promarkers.

The frame is given extra dimension by using foam tape and the bunny plus the little piece of cloud is secured with 3D dots.

Next is an Easel Card:

This card is also one I found in the Silhouette Design Store Design ID #57245

The background is a print and cut that fits so well with the stamp.

I colored in the stamp with Sharpies and pop-dotted a small cloud on the right. 

A very easy and fun little card for someone special.

Finally I made a Gift Card Gift Bag:

This is also a Silhouette Design Store fil - Design ID #162508

This little bag is also dimensional as the bunny kinda floats inside in a little scene. Candy can be put in there too for more fun. Behind the bunny is a little insert/pocket for a gift card. The little cloud on the outside of the bag, is adhered with a pop-dot.

This time I also used Promarkers to color in the bunny and I do find these easier to work with.

So these are my three projects using the same digi stamp. 

This is deff some what out of my usual way of papercrafting but I do love a challenge. What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

Thank you so much for joining me today - hope to see you again next time
