Hello friends! It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a coffee card. This totally looks like me on a Monday morning.
Skill: Beginner Time: 30 minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a coffee stamp, a sentiment set, markers, dark brown ink and a stencil for the background.
Step 1: Stamp the image and color it in with markers. I used Toffee Crunch and Desert Sand for her hair, Angel Pink and Lilac Posies for her outfit, Summery Sky for the coffee cup and Gray Flannel for the kitty.
Step 2: Cut the panel down and add sentiment.
Step 3: Cut a panel of Kraft cardstock to A2 size and use a dark brown (I used Fallen Leaves) to color in the stencil for the background. Add the background panel and the image panel to the card base.

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!

As a veteran teacher in a local high school, I was excited to make a welcome card for the new culinary teacher at my high school. I decided that since I was making the card specifically for them, I would personalize it– using maroon (or as close as I could with the colors in my stash) and gray as the color scheme of the card as our school colors and use a cute new to me charcuterie-themed stamp set.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1.0 hour
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp the large charcuterie stamp onto a piece of watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 2: After die cutting the colored watercolor paper with the second-largest die from an A2-sized background die set, press the Midnight Black VersaMagic ink pad onto a piece of acetate packaging and then sprayed the ink with Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray. Then press the acetate onto the watercolor panel. After everything dried, ink blend the edges of the panel with more of the Midnight Black VersaMagic ink using a sponge dauber.
Step 3: Press the Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink pad onto the edges of a watercolor panel.
Step 4: Die cut the panel with the largest die from the A2-sized background die set. Then press the Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink pad onto another piece of acetate packaging and spray the acetate with more of the Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and then watercolor smooshed the Rhubarb Stalk-colored panel. Allow to dry.
Step 5: Press more Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink pad onto acetate packaging and spray the acetate with more of the Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and then watercolor smoosh the stamped gray and white charcuterie board stamped panel to add a hint of color to the card. Allow to dry.
Step 6: Press Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink pad onto a small scrap of watercolor paper. Make sure the paper is fully colored. After the ink has dried, die cut the watercolor paper with the sentiment die. While die cutting, die cut two additional scraps of cardstock to create a-three layered die cut for dimension.
Step 7: Assemble the card. Glue the two panels together. Then glue the three layers of the sentiment together and glue to the center of the card. Attach clear enamel dots onto the card (while they are hard to see on the photo, there are three on the lower left corner of the gray panel, and two on the upper right panel). Then glue everything onto an A2-sized white cardbase.

Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project using All-Purpose Inks to paint a holiday photo frame. Very very simple technique, but something different you can create using your crafting supplies.
I kept things even simpler by using a kitchen sponge to do my painting. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.
