My First Post! Fish Canvas

 Hello Crafty Friends!

I'm so excited to here with the Coffee Bean Design Team and to share my very first project with you. 

I selected the tropical fish sketch to finish off an acrylic pour canvas. 

The acrylic paint pour uses many shades of blue and white.  It's also a "dirty" pour, which means I added various glitters and mica pigments as well as the necessary pouring medium.

The tropical fish was printed on watercolor paper and colored with Spectrum Nor alcohol markers, acrylic paint and a Krylon gold metallic paint pen. 

I cut out the tropical fish and attached it to the canvas with Craft Bond spray adhesive.

It's a shame you can't see all of the shimmer, both in the pour and the fish! 

Thanks for stopping by the Coffee Beans Design Team Blog, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Craft on!

Becky

Good Luck Best Wishes

 For my last card of this month I chose to bling it up. This card was so much fun to make. The horseshoe is a Digi file designed by Anne Ingram and can be found in Lady Beans Etsy Shop.  I used Nuvo glue pen and Nuvo Pure Sheen Glitter in steel gray. The flower is a cut out from a previous Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin pack. Sentiment is The Ton Easy Expressions. Card stock is Soft Suede and Wood Texture Designer series paper from Stampin Up.  The Peel off Sticker strips are from Love From Lizzy in Pink Glitter and Silver. Hope you like bling!  

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.

With the right shoes....

Comfortable shoes are necessary for a woman to be confident, the same as with great friends.

When friends are by our side and comfortable shoes on our feet, we are able to conquer the world.  Designer paper to match the Pink Pirouette card stock on a Whisper White A2 size card base.  The Shoes Digi file is from Anne Ingram. Of course, I had to make them bling with glitter after coloring them in Pink Pirouette Stampin Up Stamping Blends. Sentiment is from Skipping Stones Design Stamp Set.  Check out the Digi files from our Lady Beans in our Etsy Shop

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. 

Year of The Rat 2020

After being MIA, I have returned to The Coffee Beans blog. According to Chinese philosophy, the rat is considered to be signs of wealth and prosperity.  The year 2020 is The Year of the Rat according to the Chinese.  With the help of digi files from Janet van lone trieschman of V-studios, I was able to create this card.

I printed the digi images on Whisper White card stock from Stampin Up and colored them in with Stampin Blend markers in Light and Dark Calypso Coral, Light Rococo Rose, Light Smoky Slate, and Dark Basic Black. I then glued Nuvo Pure Sheen Glitter in Diamond on top of the rat and the words. The images were backed on Basic Black cardstock from Stampin Up and then Gold Glimmer Paper from Stampin Up.  Whisper White card stock base with Basic Black matting gives the images an extra pop. 

After making this card, I looked at the other images on this digi file and used them on other cards.  

Thank you for joining me again after my hiatus.  See you in the next blog post.

From Our Home to Yours

     A day late and a dollar short.... No not really. Sorry everyone I have been a bit under the weather and was not able to post my blog in time. On the Design Team for The Coffee Beans, I made a card using this Digi file from Rhoda Design Studio.  Used Stampin Blends in Dark Cherry Cobler, Dark Real Red, Dark and Light Shaded Spruce, Light Pink Pirouette, and Dark Mango Melody to color this cute little Santa.  Background was with Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon.  Santa's hat and beard have glitter on them because Salima has to have some bling on my projects.  I used white craft ink and Versamark to stamp snowflakes in the background. I then used Iridescent Embossing Powder to stamp the falling snow.  Sentiment is from Neat and Tangled set called Bright Baubles.  Hope you enjoyed this cute little card.
