Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Drinks Galore

Hi Crafters,

The Global Stamping Friends are back with another great blog hop.  This month we are celebrating all things liquid and refreshing with a Drinks Galore hop!

I chose to showcase two stamp sets featuring yummy drinks!  The first set was used to create the background and features the lemonade image from A Good Day.  I combined this set with Coffee Cafe to create the topper image.  The sentiment came from A Good Day too.

I created a card blank in Daffodil Delight.  I heat embossed the lemonade image in white on Shimmery White cardstock and then used my Aqua Painter to give a wash over the whole background in Daffodil Delight.  I added the borders from the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch in Coastal Cabana and adhered these with Tear and Tape which is super strong.  I stamped and fussy cut the ice cubes but used a Framelits die for the straw and vellum glass.  I stamped the sentiment in Daffodil Delight and punched out using a 1 3/8" scalloped circle punch.  

Thanks so much for stopping by on your hop around.  To keep hopping, head over to Marieke's blog using the clickable image below for more inspiration.  

Happy crafting,

A Coffee Lover's Birthday

Hi Crafters,

It was my SIL's birthday this week and she loves a good cup of coffee so I took the opportunity to use a new Stampin' Up! bundle - Coffee Cafe.  I'm not a coffee drinker but loved this set for its versatility and the colour palette of the matching Designer Series Paper.  I also used my new embossing paste again as it is so much fun.  

I started by creating a custom card blank from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and then went about using my coloured embossing paste onto Smoky Slate cardstock.  I used a Lemon Lime Twist reinker to create the coloured paste.  You only need a couple of drops for vivid colour so the bottle will go a long way.  

My coffee cup was created from the Coffee Cafe stamps and dies bundle which layers up really easily.  When you order any Stampin' Up! bundle, you save 10%.  Next up, I added a wow factor and cut the Happy Birthday die in silver Glimmer Paper, popping the die cut onto foam pads, for some sparkle.

Do you have a favourite bundle in the new Annual Catalogue?  I would love to know.

Happy crafting,
Rachel x
