Saturday Coffee Cafe - Coffee Cup Shaker

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so glad you stopped in to see what's brewin...

 

 

What could be better than shaker coffee mugs?!  Two of my favorite things :)  Everyone seems to love shaker cards -- they are so fun!

I used several fab goodies from This Calls For Confetti...

Metallic Red Sequins

Dusty Gold Sequins

Metallic Chocolate Sequins

Turquoise Sequins

Daily Grind Paper Pad

A2 Acetate Sheets

Gold Foil Rub Ons

 

 I also used these Kat Scrappiness Cuppa Love Shaker Card Craft Dies!

Saturday Coffee Cafe - It's All About The Coffee

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so happy to decided to stop in to see what's brewin'...

 

There doesn't seem to be a coffee-themed craft item that I can pass up and then there are those that actually cause a caffeinated rush :)   These NEW coffee-themed goodies from This Calls For Confetti (TCFC) are so amazing and I couldn't wait to create with them!

I love this Coffee Time A2 Cover Plate Die!  I've used it in two different ways - this first one, I cut out a bronze shimmer cardstock with the die, layered the back side with acetate, lined the edge with foam strips then sprinkled in a few This Calls For Confetti sequins/embellishments (Metallic Chocolate, Dusty Gold and Freshly Ground) enclosed the shaker card with a dark brown cardstock.

Using the same die, for this card I cut out white cardstock. I then added spritzed distress oxide inks and used the cut-out pieces from my first card to paper piece.  On the bottom strip, I added the sentiment using gold foil rub ons from This Calls For Confetti.

 The new Daily Grind 6x6 Paper Pad is GORGEOUS!!  A wonderful mix of patterns and fabulous cafe scenes like the one on my card!

You Warm My Heart

 

Happy New Year!  I'm pretty glad to see 2023 go and praying for a much better 2024. So I'm toasting to the new year with my favorite beverage...coffee!

For my card, I used these wonderful goodies from Dare 2B Artzy...

Perfect Blend Stamps and Dies

Rectangle Framelits

Double Dot Circles

Rectangle Fancy Framelits

Everything is Blooming Paper Collection

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Cocoa Cheers!

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so happy to stopped by today to see what's brewin'...

 

One of the best things to have on a cold day is a yummy cup of hot cocoa...of course in a cute mug!

 

For my card, I used Spellbinders Merry Mug Creations dies - such a great cocoa or coffee set that's my new fave!  The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps Hug In a Mug and the paper used is Echo Park Little Lumberjack.

 

 

Coffee Anyone?

 

I love coffee.  It's my beverage of choice and I drink it, literally, all day!  This sentiment made me giggle, because it's so me :)

For my card, I created a simple mixed media background using distress oxide inks and water.  The stamped (and gold embossed) images are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Texture Tiles 9.  These fun cups of coffee are from the Coffee Talk stamp set (which also has a coordinating die set available).  Both of these sets are a MUST for coffee lovers!

 

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Gnome Sweet Gnome

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm thrilled you stopped by today to see what's brewin'...

This delightful gnome garden in a cup just makes me smile!  Wouldn't it be fun to create a mini garden in a pretty coffee or tea cup?!

Saturday Coffee Cafe - You Wam My Heart

 

Happy Saturday and Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Cafe!  I'm so glad you stopped by to see what's brewin'...

 Be it coffee or tea, a warm brew - especially shared with a friend - warms my heart!  

For my card today, I used Spellbinders Plaid Company Embossing Folder on white cardstock for the background.  One of my favorite dies from The Greetery is the Cozy Cup Coaster Die which I used to cut kraft cardstock for the backdrop.

I decorated the Hero Arts Tea Kettle Dies with flowers and leaves from Spellbinders Delicious Decorations.  The sentiment is from Hello Bluebird Frosty Mornings stamp set.

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Tea Time

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so glad you stopped by to see what's brewing....

I've been itching to get inky and finally got the chance!  I like to dabble in simple mixed media and this Honey Bee Stamps Teapot & Cup dies were perfect to play with.  I used Distress Oxide Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire inks plus Distress Mica Stain Harvest Moon plus lots of water spritzing.

The pretty little flowers and leaves are from Spellbinders Delicious Decorations dies.  I used Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber for the flowers and blended the edges with Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs. For the leaves, I used Distress Oxide Peeled Paint and edged them with Distress Oxide Forest Moss.

For the background, I used Altenew Organic Linen Embossing Folder and added the sentiment from Spellbinders Sentiments For You.

 

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Coffee & Crafting

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm thrilled you stopped by today to see what's brewing...

My best days are generally spending time creating in my craft room with a great cup of coffee or soothing cup of tea!  I just 'get lost' in what I'm making and the time just flies!

For my slimline card, I used some super fun die sets from My Favorite Things (MFT Stamps)!  The lovely cup of tea, glasses, spoon and tea bag were created with MFT Stamps Creature Comforts dies. I love my craft supplies and these absolutely adorable little Copic markers, inks, blending tools, tape and scissors were created with MFT Stamps Tools of the Trade dies.   What's better than a coffee-themed card?  MINI coffee-themed cards!!  These were created using MFT Stamps Mini Mugs dies.
