Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Fall | Winter Hop

Hi friends! Proud to be a super sponsor of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop once again. I’m here to share some great inspiration with you and a little intro to my shop. If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’re an old friend, I’m happy to have you with us!

Today I’m pairing a few Twiddler’s Nook embellishments and crafty tools with Newton’s nook dies and patterned paper to create a holiday shaker card.

I cut the Newton’s Nook Coffee Frame from white cardstock, masked off the border and used Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes to add color to the mugs. I cut the mugs a second time from white cardstock, trimmed the center stripe out and added it with liquid glue over top of the ink blended mugs.

I added acetate and foam strips to the frame for my shaker window. Then sprinkled some Snowy Day and Gingerbread House clay embellishments to an A2 piece of patterned paper and adhered the frame over the top to seal the shaker up.

I glued the steam bits above the mugs on the acetate and then glued my Newton’s Nook Hug in a Mug sentiment over the top of that. Next, I added the whole panel to a card base.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – National Coffee Day Hop

Hi friends! Today I’m here with a fun little shaker card to celebrate National Coffee Day with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers! The hop is over on Instagram so be sure to comment there! Below are some of the details on how I created my card.

I couldn’t help but go for a Halloween coffee shaker card to celebrate today. I used our Happy Jacks embellishment mix with a variety of Lawn Fawn dies and Newton’s Nook stamps and dies for my sentiment.

I rediscovered a fun paper pad in my stash to create the background. First I cut a 4.25×5.5 panel with the green polka dots and then gave life to some scraps in the pad with stripes for some contrast. Isn’t that fun!?!

I created my shaker and glued it in place with a few extra visitors in the form of ghosts and a spider on his web. Then I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Newton’s Nook on a banner and popped it up with foam squares.

Twiddler’s Nook Happy Jacks embelishments
Twiddler’s Nook Pressure Pal

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Spring | Summer Hop

Hi friends! I’m excited to revive my love of creating caffeinated cards for today’s hop! And, as always, proud to be a super sponsor for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops. Today you have a chance to win $20 to the Twiddler’s Nook shop.

I took a moment earlier this week to create a fun shaker card using a number of our products to do so and I wanted to share it with you today!

I used a number of fun Pretty Pink Posh products, paired with Twiddler’s Nook embellishments and tools to create my sweet teacup shaker card. Starting with the shaker teacup, I filled it with primrose confetti bits and the spring fling mix too.

Moving on to the background, I used our blending brushes with the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Sunflowers stencil set. After inking all the layers, I thought it would be more fun to add texture to the flower center layer so I mixed paint with texture paste to make the perfect yellow paste to spread through the stencil.

I had so much fun creating this sweet card and hope you enjoyed the bit of inspiration too!

Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win $20 to the Twiddler’s Nook shop. Winner will be chosen from the comments on this post only. Commenting closes Friday, May 30, at 11:59 p.m. Winner will be announced Friday, June 6, on the Coffee Lovers Blog.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Fall | Winter Blog Hop

Hi friends! We’re super excited for the Coffee Lovers Fall | Winter Hop to be here! I’ve got a sweet card to fill your inspiration cup and a little intro to my shop for all the newcomers too!

I pulled out some fabulous oldies but goodies from Newton’s Nook to create my card. The Mugs stencil is a staple in my craft room. I love it in those rich coffee tones and I love it all full of color too! I used my Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes to ink up the stenciled panel. I love how they sit on my desk color coded and ready to grab. Check out our Platform listing to see what I mean!

Then I stamped and colored some cuties from Newton Plans and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used the same copic from the book on a piece of white cardstock to cut my “COFFEE” sentiment out and make sure it matched. I also stamped and heat embossing a sentiment from Time for Coffee on a banner in the A7 Frames die set.

Once all the layers were assembled I used my trusty Paw Tray to spread out some Caffeinated Crafting Embellishment Mix and pull the brown hearts to add a little something to my card. Then I easily poured it all back in the bag using the bottom corner of the tray.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to Newton’s glasses, cup sleeve and noses.

Thanks so much for hopping along! I hope you have a blast creating for the Coffee Lovers Hop! Happy caffeinated crafting!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Coffee Date meets Newton’s Nook Inky Paws Challenge

Miss Ink Stamps – Drink Happy Thoughts

Hey friends! I’m stopping by today with an extra Miss Ink Stamps card to celebrate the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop! Miss Ink is a super sponsor and has a super fun array of caffeinated products to create with!

I started by stamping and coloring the gorgeous image in Coffee with copic markers. Then I fussy cut it out. Yes, you read that right. I actually fussy cut something. Then I die cut a circle and heat embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set on it.

Last week I created a rainbow card when I used the outside frame from the EIEIO Frame dies. Well, of course I kept the inner scalloped rectangle and today I’m using it on this card. I went ahead and cut a vellum stitched rectangle from the same die set.

To put everything together, I started with the coffee cup and sentiment, gluing them together with liquid glue. Then I added foam tape to the back and adhered them to the vellum. I hid adhesive behind those two things to attach the vellum to the scalloped panel. Then I tied my twine around the top before adding foam tape to the back so I could avoid that area. I attached the main panel to the card front and added some glossy accents to the flower.

Are you playing along with the Coffee Lovers Hop? There are so many sales and prizes and tons of fun! I hope you are!

Newton’s Nook – Never Judge a Book

Happy Wednesday friends! I’m happy to be over on the Newton’s Nook blog today with another dose of caffeinated inspiration to get you through the Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop week. I’ll be linking this card up for sure. I hope you’re playing along too. There are lots of fun prizes up for grabs, including one from Newton’s Nook!

I just adore the images and sentiments in the Sips & Stories stamp set so I pulled that out to play with today. I chose my favorite image and colored her up with copic markers. Then I used the coordinating die to cut the image out and set it aside.

After flipping through the Coffee House Stories paper pad, I chose two patterns – one for my focal panel and one for the card front. I cut the focal panel from the largest Frames & Flags die set, then also die cut a black banner while I had it out. I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on that.

As I was finalizing my layout, I wanted something subtle behind the image so I added a scalloped vellum circle cut from one of the Circle Frames dies. My polka dot panel is adhered with liquid glue, then the cups are popped up on foam tape. The image and sentiment banner are glued together and popped up on the vellum circle with foam tape as well. I hid some liquid adhesive behind the image to add the vellum circle to the card front. For finishing touches I added Touch of Gloss to the pillows and kitty nose.

Products used:
Sips & Stories stamps and dies
Coffee House Stories paper pad
Circle Frames dies
Frames & Flags dies
Anti-static brush
Embossing & Watermark ink
Embossing powder – frosting
Touch of gloss
Foam tape
