Had To Make the Daffodils Again

Good afternoon every one.  I loved these daffodils so much that I had to make another card.  The sentiment is from Sassy and Crafty Healing Heroes free digital printable.  The Digi file for the daffodils can be found the Multi Crafter's Cafe Facebook page.  This card was made to bring cheer to someone who is working hard at smiling. During this pandemic, everyone is being affected. Whether they are dealing with having to stay at home with no source of income of are front line workers and are worried they may bring disease home to their loved ones. Everyone is worried and this is leading to more illness due to stress.

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.  

Fresh and Springy Tulips Altered Paint Brush

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with The Coffee Beans sharing a fresh and springy altered paintbrush. I used the beautiful Tulips digi stamp from our own Annie Collins which can be found on the Facebook Page The Multi Crafters Craft Cafe, go to photos, click albums, look for The Coffee Bean Stamp Machine, scroll till see the tulip set.

Supplies: Paintbrush, old and painty or a new one that can be painted up.
                Paint of your choice
                Foam brush
                Lace, ephemera, embellishments, digi image, ribbon
                Hot glue gun

What I did: I painted my new brush, here and there. I painted the bristle of the brush to match, just the top layer and then along the bottom of the bristles.

Using a heat gun, I dried the brush top and sides. I then carefully hit the bristles with heat which then caused the bristle to melt and shrink a bit, making it looked like it had been used.

Then taking care I scrap paint off  here and then further adding to the used look.

I then colored my tulips using an eye make up applicator and distress oxide ink, starting at the bottom and blending up.

Using the glue gun I adhered the lace, arranged the tulips gluing down, added the ephemera, the ribbon for the hanger and there you have it!

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

Until Next Time......

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

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with the The Coffee Beans sharing one of the first digi stamp sets available for purchase from The Coffee Bean Stamping Machine located at the Multi Crafters Craft Cafe in Facebook. Click photos, albums. Coffee Bean Stamping Machine

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.
