It's Bean A While - So Suzy Stamps

Hi Everybody,

I made a coffee card with the new So Suzy Stamps release

My stamp supplies:

Coffee Cup top view, Spoon, Coffee Hello, Bean A While

I will show you that even it you mess up a bit you can get a decent card with a few tricks.

Lets get started:

I stamped the cup and spoon onto white card stock.

Stamped it again and die cut the cup and fussy cut the spoon.

Added some coffee stains/splatters with a stencil onto my card stock. The nice thing is, that you don't need to mask anything.

Marked where the spoon will be and cut an opening for it, so I can tuck it under the cup handle.

See, what I mean?

Glued teh cut out cup onto the card base, added the spoon as well as the Hello into the center of the cup. I also added some shadows to give it some dimension. and added the sentiment. I don't know if you can see, that the sentiment is not parallel to the card. I saw it immediately and could not tolerate it. But I had put in too much effort to start over....

So I took a stitched border die and lined it up with the sentiment (used a ruler to make sure it is parallel) and die cut it. Mounted it onto a Kraft card base and added some white gel pen accents to the coffee foam. The other thing that happened, when I ran it trough my big shot to trim it it got a smudge. No big deal, I just added some more drops - you see them to the right of the spoon. Balances everything out, so a happy accident!

You may know this already, but just in case you don't.... We have a new feature here at So Suzy's.

Every month one of our DT members has a birthday you get on stamp with every order free.

This is Tracy's and Suzy's birthday month and THOSE are their stamps:

We also have a sale going on at this month:

Happy Stamping!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dandelion and Christmas Trees

Hi Everyone, I am getting tired of making Christmas cards.... I needed a break from them. I love the inspiration picture for the current Sunday stamps challenge , so I pulled out my ancient Hero Arts stamp to make this card. The sentiment is by Unity stamps. Did some masking and sponging. I also performed a little surgery on my stamp, as those falling dandelion seeds are attached to the main stamp. Just a little cut with my Exacto knife and I set them free! I am also linking up with: Mod Squad Challenge - Anything but Christmas (exactly how I feel....)

Crackerbox Stamps - Sniff You First

Hi Everybody, Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below. I made this card with some of the older stamps from Crackerbox Stamps . It is a very simple card. I stamped the Emu Adele and colored it with Copics. Stamped the sentiment onto black card stock and heat embossed it in white. I wrapped some string around the card. Mounted the sentiment with foam tape. Lastly I added some splatters.
