Sunday Sip...Waddle, Waddle, Sip!


Hey there coffee loving crafty friends!  It's my day on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for another fun Sunday Sip Challenge!  This week, I'm OVER the heat and in the mood for some colder weather!  I decided to use a stamp set I've had since around February (and haven't used) for this post.  I brought out this adorable penguin set from Gerda Steiner Designs called "Valentine Penguins".  While the set theme is Valentine's Day, I can find many other uses for this set...It's so much more than a LOVEBIRDS set!  I paired the cute little penguins up with a hand-drawn image of one of those uber famous mugs popping up all over.  You know who I'm referring to, right ? 

I colored the images up with some Copic Markers (Penguin:  C1, C3, C7, 0, V0000, B0000, B000, YR65, Y32; Mug:  W1, E50, E5).
Adding a little sparkle leftover from my parent's 50th anniversary party and some brown check ribbon to tone down the formality and voila...It's done.  I LOVE IT!
Like my card?  Why not play along with our sketch challenge this week?  I created a sketch that matches this card design and I hope you find some time to play along with it.  We'd love to see what you create with it!  Just add your link to our inlinkz below.

Sunday Sip...Refresh yourself!

Hello there Coffee Loving friends!  It's Sunday and that means I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog with my weekly Sunday Sip and Share post.  I created this card and sketch yesterday while playing with my Gelli Plate.  I had so much fun playing with some new Liquid Colors I recently received in the mail.  

How did I create this card?  Well, I just squirted a bit of each color (Turbo Teal and Sweet Pear) onto my Gelli Plate and brayered the colors together.  I placed a piece of white cardstock over that and lifted it to print the paper.  I then took three different circle punches and punched some circles out. After that, I prepared a piece of white cardstock as my base card panel.  I splattered some Sweet Berry Liquid Color, Gold Silk and Sparkle Silk onto the white card panel and then dry brushed some light ivory acrylic paint over it to tone down the color.  Next, I brushed a bit of acrylic paint onto the punched circles.  I put a foam square onto each circle and assembled the circles onto the card panel in a pleasing layout.  Next, I flicked more Gold and Sparkle Silk onto the card panel.  
Next, I stamped the Sweet 'n Sassy Creative Worship "Fill Me Up" sentiment and the coffee cup using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and my Misti.  I colored the cup with a "Dot" pattern to mimic the design of the card.  After that, I fussy cut the cup and cut the sentiment and arranged them on the card.  Of course, few of my cards are without fibers or ribbon so I added a little bow using some Hemptique twine.  I added a few Nuvo Drops pearls here and there and then mounted the card onto the berry card base.

Like the card?  If so, please join the fun and create a card using the sketch below.  My sketches are always inspired by the cards I create so I hope you find them fun and challenging!  If you do happen to play along, please add a link to our inlinkz below.  I look forward to seeing your creation!

Sunday Sip: Six Pack

Hello there coffee loving crafters!  It's Kerry here and I'm back with another Sunday Sip for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!  This week, I'm jumping for joy as I share a CAS card with you!!!  WOOP!!!  I did it!  I made a CAS card!  My fellow CAS challenged cardmakers can attest that this is quite a feat and one not to go unnoticed!  WOOP!  A little pat on the back and a Yee Haw is in order! 
To create my card, I cut the little square die from the Reverse Confetti Stitched Squares Confetti Cuts die and then stamped the itty bitty coffee tumbler (from the Planner ATS stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey called "Calendar Essentials") six times being careful to line them up as perfectly as I could.  I colored the cups with Leisure Arts Watercolored pencils and then stamped the strip of light blue cardstock with "Oh Happy Day" sentiment using two different blue colors.  After that, I attached it to the base of my card and attached a strip of torn vellum above that.  
I tied some Hemptique yellow twine to the card and then thought it looked a little bare (and the white cardstock had a dent in it too)...ha ha ha...so...I flicked some watercolor pencil splatters onto a piece of white cardstock and laid that over the top of the white portion of the card base to cover the imperfections.  

These colors are some of my most favorite colors during the summer months so I am extra excited about how it turned out.  I know EXACTLY who to send this card to!  WOOP!  

Do you like this card/sketch?  How about playing along with the sketch challenge this week?  I've included a linky below so you can add your link!  Join the fun!
