Make a Fall Floral Coffee Cup Card

Posted on by

By Helen Gullett

Hello crafty friends! Today, we are going to do some watercoloring with Memento markers, stenciling with Memento ink, and stamping with VersaFine ink to make this Fall floral coffee mug card. Let’s gather your supplies, grab a cup of coffee, and get crafting together!

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 15-20 minutes

Direction:

Step 1

Cut out a piece white cardstock into 4″ x 5 1/4″

Put the stencil on top of the cardstock and secure it with some washi tape or removable tape.

Use a blending brush to add the Memento London Fog ink to the cardstock.

Remove the stencil and set aside for the ink to dry.

Step 2

On a piece of watercolor cardstock, stamp all the floral and cup images with the VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Cut them with their matching die set or you can simply fussy cut them with scissors.

Step 3

There are two ways of watercoloring. The first option is you can do wet on wet technique by lightly wet the area where you want to add the watercolor paint, and then pick up the ink with a water brush and color on the wet watercolor paper. And the second option is called wet on dry technique where you add the watercolor paint directly on the dry watercolor paper. Both ways work well with these Memento Markers.

On this project, I used the wet on wet technique. First, scribble each color of the Memento Marker on the craft mat. Wet the stamped image, pick up the ink with a wet water brush, and then add the color to the image. Dry the watercolored image with a craft heat gun.

Step 4

Cut out a piece of copy paper with the doily die to make paper doily. Add it to the stenciled panel with On Point Glue.

Cut a piece of black cardstock into 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ mat, add the stenciled panel to it with On Point Glue.

Add the whole background panel to the card base with On Point Glue.

Put together the watercolored coffee mug and flower bouquet cluster with On Point Glue.

Step 5

Stamp the sentiment and faux stitch pattern on a piece of white cardstock with VersaFine Onyx Black, and then trim it into a sentiment banner.

Add the floral coffee mug in the middle of the card, on top of the doily with On Point Glue.

Add the sentiment banner on the left top of the card with On Point Glue.

Memento Markers are not only for coloring, but also watercoloring. I had fun making this card with a watercoloring technique using these markers. And I hope this Fall Floral Coffee mug card can perk you up!

Thank you for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Let’s Make a Coffee-Themed Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York

– As a high school teacher, having cards with a snarky-edge ready to go for a coworker having a wild day is a must, and coffee-themed cards are great to have in your stash because they are always appreciated. So as I get ready to go back to school, I can tuck this away for someone who may need a smile.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2.0 hours

Directions:

Step 1:
Rub a Love Letter Memento ink pad onto a piece of watercolor paper. (The paper was a little rough, so additional color will be added later.)

Step 2:
After die cutting the colored watercolor paper, use a Poppy Red Fabrico marker to fix any areas that weren’t colored with the ink pad.Then spray the die cuts with Silver Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray.

(Later, a third die cut was made to better fit the card. This was made in the same way.)

Step 3:
Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with the second-largest die from an A2-sized background die set. Then spray Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray into a coffee-themed embossing folder and emboss the watercolor panel. Allow the spray to dry.

Step 4:
Ink blend the edges of the embossed watercolor background panel with Champagne Delicata ink using a sponge dauber.

Step 5:
Before gluing the die cuts, I pressed the center coffee cup into the Ruby Red Delicata ink pad to change the color of that cup just a little. Glue all three die cuts down and trim the edges with scissors.

Step 6:
Ink blend a piece of patterned paper with more of the Ruby Red Delicata ink using a sponge dauber.

Step 7:
Die cut the ink blended patterned paper with the largest die from the A2-sized background die set. Then press both Ruby Red and Bark Brown Shimmer Delicata ink onto acetate packaging and spraying with water and splatter both panels with the red and brown watercolor. Ater the splatter dries, glue the two panels together.

Step 8:
Stamp the sentiment with Glamorous VersaFine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Step 9:
Die the inside of the coffee cups (the coffee) out of watercolor paper with the same coffee cup die three times and then spray them all with Potter’s Clay Fireworks! Craft Spray.

Step 10:
Ink blend the edges of all three coffee dies with Dark Brown Shimmer Delicata ink with an ink dauber. Then glue the three small brown die cuts into the three coffee cups on the cardbase.

Step 11:
Press the edges of the sentiment into the Ruby Red Delicata ink pad and then heat emboss the edges with clear embossing powder. Then assemble the card by attaching the sentiment onto the lower right corner of the upper card panel with foam tape and glue sequins onto the card.

Finally, glue the whole thing onto an A2-sized white cardbase.

“You’re the Coffee to my Morning” Card

Posted on by

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project. I love trying new things with my inks and in this video I realized something great about using VersaFine Clair Inks with my BetterPress System and Shimmer Cardstock, you know the one that has a coating and is very smooth.

This particular cardstock is very hard to stamp with any kind of pigment ink because it never really dries. However; using the Betterpress System and pressing the ink into the paper it’s like it forces the ink to absorb. The best part, no smudging!

I personally don’t make coffee themed cards regularly, but I know others do and I hope this gives you some inspiration if you are a coffee card maker.

Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.

Stamp with Memento Luxe Create Custom Backgrounds

Skill: Beginner
Time: 30 min

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Today I have a simple coffee card to share with you. I like to include die-cutting and embossing in a lot of my projects, but I thought today I would focus on the basics – stamping with just ink and paper.

Step 1:
Stamp the coffee stamps using Brilliance Coffee Bean and VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze ink pads. The stamp set I am using today is from Stampin Up’s Latte Love set, but you can use whatever coffee stamps you may have.

Step 2:
To create a simple, patterned background, try stamping the same image at various angles using Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink pad. For a more subtle, tone-on-tone look, you could use VersaMark ink pad instead. These two ink pads are my favorite for stamping background patterns.

Step 3:
For the sentiment, I decided to use VersaFine Clair Pinecone since the VersaFine Clair ink pads are great at capturing fine details in sentiment stamps. I also fussy cut around the stamped image.

Step 4:
I added a bow using some twine I saved from previous gift packaging, and adhered both the sentiment and the latte images with foam tape. And that completes today’s coffee card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I’ll see you in my next tutorial!
