Hello and welcome!

Today I’m playing along with Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop featuring a couple of amazing stamps and dies from Newton’s Nook Designs.

There are going to be TONS of fun prizes – including a $25 store credit from Newton’s Nook Designs! You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog for more details on how to play along!

Key Ingredients:

• Time For Coffee Stamp Set
• Time For Coffee Die Set
• Coffee House Stories Paper Pad

Step By Step Instructions:

• Die cut from Neenah Solar White paper all the elements you need, using Time For Coffee Die Set and Spellbinders Platinum 6 Die Cutting Machine or Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. Save the negative parts of the die.
• Stamp the outline illustration from Time For Coffee Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, using the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
• Color the stamps with COPIC MARKERS. I used on this card:
  • red R000-R00-R01-R02-R14
  • teal BG0000-BG10-BG11-BG13
  • gray W0-W2-W4
  • brown E30-E34
• Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper. I used Tim Holtz Maxi Guillotine Trimmer and Mini Score Board.
• Trim a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor cardstock and repeatedly stamp some coffee beans from Time For Coffee Stamp Set all over with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink.
• Ink the whole background with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink, creating an ombré effect. Use the blending brushes to achieve a soft and smooth blending.
• Splatter the inked pattern some tiny droplets of water, a white gouache and Ground Espresso Distress ink.
• Trim a 4 1/4″ width rectangle for the bottom part of the card base from the same Neenah Solar White paper.
• Stamp the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
• Arrange and glue in place all the elements on the card front by popping some of them on a foam tape for a bit of dimension.
• Finish with a generous coat of Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, a few highlights added with a white gel pen and some clear sparkling sequins adhered with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.

That’s all for today! Hope you like this sweet coffee card ! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
Hugs,
