Better With Friends Card

 Hello Crafters!

I wanted to share with you, this card I created with the tea/coffee cup design.

The cup was printed on glossy photo paper. Yes, I know..... I need to work on my blending :o) 

I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, then cut the image out.

The background is some board shelf lining paper and a scan of lace on a pillow case.

The edges and tag were inked with Ranger's Antique Linen. 

The sentiment was printed onto beige paper, a tag punch was used, inked and adhered with a mini brad. 

It's all mounted on A4 white cardstock. 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Coffee Bean Design Team Blog.

Have a fabulous day!

Craft on,

Becky

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.

Shoes to Die for

Hello,
Coffee Bean Design's Fans!

Today is my last guest design team post for Coffee Bean Designs, I hope you have enjoyed all the craftroom creations I have shared over the last couple months. Today's craftroom creation is a card inspired by a pair of iconic red heels.

As soon as I saw the high heel shoe digital stamp I knew it need to be red. I started off by printing my digital stamps on white card stock. My color medium of choice is Copic markers but use whatever you enjoy coloring with.

Copic combos
R17, R27, R29, & R59
C7, C9, & 100

After the shoes were all colored, I covered them with clear wink of Stella and glossy accents. Glossy accents needs time to dry so I set the shoes aside and worked on another card, which you can find over on my blog.

For the background I cut down yellow card stock to 4 by 5 1/4 inches and pulled out my brick stencil by Kindred stamps. Next I inked my background with scattered straw and wild honey distress ink, blending in from the short sides of the yellow cardstock.

Once everything was dry I fussy cut the shoes out remembering to run a water based black marker along the edge to hide the white core of the cardstock. I cut and scored a black A2 card base and added my yellow brick background. To add more dimension to the focal point I glued one shoe down flat while popping up the other on foam. To grounded the focal image I created a sentiment on my computer and cut it into a strip to place under the shoes. I added a red heart gems to each shoes as a final detail.

I love the way this card came out and hope you did too. I want to say thank you all the ladies behind Coffee Bean Designs for letting me be a part of the guess design team. I enjoyed getting to share my craftroom creation with you all. If you want to see more of my work you can find me on social media @TheCraftBean.

Wedding Cake

Hello Coffee Bean Design's fans it's Brandi M, I am back to share a card with you featuring the “Wedding Cake” digital stamp by Coffee Bean Designs.

I printed the “Wedding Cake” digital stamp on to white cardstock, one of the things I love about Digital stamps is you can resize them to fit your project. For this card I printed it a bit smaller to use  on my card. On my second card , which you can find on my blog I printed it larger.

For those of you who don't know I love to color with my Copic makers so that's what I pulled out to add more depth and detail to the cake image. I shaded the cake with my light gray combo and then I draw simple flower on my card, I started by drawing a dot for the center. Copic makers are alcohol based and work great for blending. Next I draw five flicks for the petals of the flowers in my darkest shade then add my medium and light on top still using a flicking motion. I went darkest to lightest then back again until I was happy and then a green vine and white gel pen details to the flower centers.

For the cake topper I dug through my stamp stash until I found the small hearts I colored them pink and fussy cut them out. Remember to make it look like they were trimmed out perfectly run a water base black maker a long the edge to hide the white core of the cardstock.

I often pull from my scrap bin when making cards which is exactly what I did for the pink cardstock background. I cut it down to be slightly smaller than an A2 card base. I also used a scrap of white cardstock to stamp the sentiment on with black ink.

To pull the card together I layered the pink cardstock onto a white A2 card base. Using foam tape I popped up the sentiment strip and then glued down the wedding card using the sentiment to ground the image. I topped the cake with the pink hearts. To add more detail to the card I added wink of stella over the cake and scattered flat back pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this card! If you want to see more you can head over to my blog and see how I turn this image into a Birthday cake.

Thanks

Wedding Season Is Upon Us

The more elegant the wedding, the more elegant the cake.  This Digi file from Anne Ingram was sponged in Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Wild Honey Inks. The design on the cake is an image from Simon Says Stamp's Thankful Flowers stamp set, heat embossed in Caramel Cosmic Semi Transparent Embossing Powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle. Glitter Peel Off Stickers from Love from Lizi.  Sentiment from Simon Says Stamp's Congratulations stamp set, heat embossed in the same Caramel embossing powder.  The mats are gold mirror, peach colored, and designer card stock on top of Whisper White A2 card base.  Had a lot of fun making this card.
