Rise and Shine!

Hello friends and Happy Fall!  What a gorgeous day we had yesterday.  It's finally beginning to feel a little bit like fall…couldn't resist a long walk with DH and Kody!  It's almost time to break out the hot chocolate and tea, but these cards are for all of you coffee drinkers out there.  The stamps, dies, and papers for both of these cards from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Creative Nugget:  Watered down distress inks were used to make the coffee stains and splatters on a piece of mixed media paper.  The panel cut with Pierced Rectangles Dies was split in two…one for the coffee cup made with the Beverage Cup Dies and one for the sentiment from the Rise And Shine stamp set.  Papers from the Ephemera Essentials Paper Pad were used for all of the accents and the card front.  The design for the card was inspired by the MOJO Monday sketch for last week.

A precut and scored Diamond Fold Card was used for the base of this next coffee card.

Creative Nugget:  Each panel on the Diamond Fold Card was lined with fun papers from the Birthday Brights Paper Pad.  The band and the whipped cream from the Beverage Cup Dies can also be used to make a cute cupcake to have along with your coffee.  "HI" was cut three times with the Alphabet Dies, stacked for dimension, and colored with a Wink of Stella pen for some shimmer.

Organdy ribbon tied around the card keeps it closed, but when opened, a sentiment from the I Love Coffee stamp set is revealed.   Layered Lacey Squares and Pierced Squares Dies were used to cut a frame for the sentiment.  

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:
MOJO Monday 466
Word Art Wednesday Challenge Week 249 - Anything Goes
Just Us Girls #362 - Photo Week (inspired by the colors)
Crafting From the Heart Challenge 128 - Anything Goes
Pile It On #117 - Autumn Colors/Theme
Try It on Tuesday: Coffee and Cream/2 Colors

Thanks so much for stopping by…have some coffee and enjoy the Lord's Day!

Hugs,

Hello friends!  Rise & Shine and Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs September 2016 Release!  Did I just write September?  With Autumn on the way, ODBD is releasing two wonderful fall stamp sets, and to get you going on those chilly mornings...coffee.  You will love this month's new stamp sets and dies…wait until you see what the Bread Sticks have designed for your inspiration!

My first sample was made using the new Rise And Shine stamp set stamp set and Beverage Cup Dies.

Creative Nugget:  Papers from the Cozy Quilt Collection were used for the panels on this card while Pierced Rectangles Dies and Double Stitched Rectangles Dies were used to cut them.  The Art Deco Die was used to border the horizontal panel, and the Filigree Frame Die was modified and used to frame the top layer.  The sentiment from the Rise and Shine stamp set was embossed on a label and mat cut with the Layered Lacy Ovals Die and an Ovals Die.  The new Beverage Cup Dies were used to make the lemonade and milk shake..SWEET!  Seam binding, Glossy Accents, and Wink of Stella were added to finish the card. 

My shaker card was made with the new I Love Coffee stamp set and Beverage Cup Dies.

Creative Nugget:  The coffee bean from one of the sentiments in the Rise and Shine stamp set was colored with Tombow Markers and stamped repeatedly on the background.  The main panel is watercolored and splattered with ink from a Tombow Marker.  All of the layers are cut with Pierced Rectangles Dies.  The coffee rings were made by pressing the bottom of a plastic container into watered down ink and stamping it onto the card.  One of the sentiments from the I Love Coffee stamp set was very lightly stamped over the background and one of the sentiments was embossed on the card front.  The opening for the shaker was cut with a Circles Die and the matt, a Pierced Circles Die. Paper from the Ephemera Essentials Collection was used for the back of the shaker and the band on the Beverage Cup.  The best part are the real coffee beans inside the shaker…mmmm!  Although I do not like coffee, I do love the smell of it and this card smells heavenly! A little seam binding and several pearls were added.
