You're My Cup of Coffee

As you all know, my Neat & Tangled teammate Amy Tsuruta runs several Coffee Lovers Blog Hops throughout the year and the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is on now through Friday! I made this card for my entry, using the Journaling Alpha Dies (which, I'm totally addicted to) and Perfect Blend stamps and dies.

I stamped each of the latte art with a different neon ombre ink and curved the smaller part of the sentiment around one of the cups, which leads into the final part of the sentiment. To finish, I added some splatter with four colours of mist and three sequins that coordinate with the latte art.

Stenciling with Perfect Pearls

Hello there!

Mayuri here to share a card using the gorgeous Hexastar Stencil from the May Release!

I love the geometric design of this stencil and can see myself reaching for it again and again to create awesome backgrounds! This card took no time at all to put together - I began by laying the stencil down onto some dark coloured cardstock and stamping all over with the Versamark Ink pad.

I lifted the stencil away and brushed some gold Perfect Pearls over the sticky areas - I didn't mind the unevenness of my stamping (near the edges), as it give the overall look a sense of depth.

I gently wiped any excess Perfect Pearls with a dryer sheet and trimmed the panel down to slightly smaller than my card base. Before foam mounting the panel, I swiped the Versamark Ink pad along all four edges of the card base, and again brush with the Perfect Pearls. This gave me a nice matching border...

I wanted to keep the sentiment simple so that the focal panel could really be the star of this card, so I stamped one from the Origami Map set onto a strip of the same dark cardstock with Versamark, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set. I trimmed the sentiment piece down and foam mounted it to the card front.

To finish, I added a selection of Summer Sun and Gold Mix sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!
