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.

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.

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.  .

Everyone Knows How Much I Love Glitter

Hello all. Salima here with Judy Markowitz's infamous Alicorn.  Isn't he just beautiful.  I used rainbow colored Stampin Blends to color his main in the colors: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce, Seaside Spray and Blackberry Bliss.  His unicorn and front bangs are all glittered up with Nuvo Pure Sheen glitter: Glitter Diamond and Glitter Champagne. I cut a couple of curves in some scrap paper and used that to represent clouds with Impression Obsessions Rose colored hybrid dye ink.  Gold mirror paper is the matting for our image. Sentiment is from The Ton stamp set called Easy Expressions layered on Gold Mirror paper.  You know the shine from the glitter was not enough. I took my Spectrum Noir Sparkle marker and went over the main of Alicorn to make him shine just a little bit more. They don't call me the Glitter Queen for nothing! 

You can find Judy's Alicorn Digi Stamp here.

I began by blending ink on the front of my card. After I was happy with my sky, I die cut some clouds, the wave and punched iut the hearts.

I colored the boat in with color pencils. I pop dotted the wave, adhered the boat behind the wave. Ink the edges of the clouds, pop dot those for added dimensions. Add the heart and the sentiment for two.
