Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps

Hello cardmakers, this is one of two posts today that I'm sharing for the blog hop over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers to celebrate National Coffee Day. This project is for Super Sponsor Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps. There are a lot of prizes to be won, simply by hopping along the CLC designer and guest designer posts and the sponsor blog posts. We're giving one lucky winner a $25 online shopping spree to the store!

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links. This does not affect your purchase price.)

One of my favorite stamps was designed by my teammate Tracy McLennon. It's the Coffee Cup Heart stamp and I actually masked the heart, which runs along the center of the cup, and made a paper pieced coozie.

My coffee cup was colored with my gray Zig real clean color brush marker and decorated with a yellow button with string. All my papers and sticker elements are from the Carta Bella Hello Fall collection and adhesives and glue dots are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You'll find shopping links at the end of this post.

Do you love, love, love coffee stamps? Then today is your lucky day. All of our drink stamps are on sale this weekend only, and you can view them here,

Hogwarts, Wizards and Wands

Hello to all my Potterhead friends! Today, I'm sharing this magical card for Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps. We are still loving the Harry Potter stamps from the last release and today, I've paired a sentiment from that release, along with this castle. Seriously, these two go together like peanut butter and jelly! I'll have links scattered throughout this post if you'd like to shop. But first, let me share some details on how I created this card. It truly was very easy!

I used a big circle stencil and placed it over a piece of watercolor paper, large enough to cut out a

3"x 3" circle with my circle dies, after I was done Using my Misti, I stamped Catherine Pooler ink using the Sandcastle color with my castle stamp. I relied on my Ranger Ink distress ink for the sky colors, since I had the colors that I need for my night sky, Wilted Violet Oxide ink and Chipped Sapphire distress ink. Both were blended then splattered with water and blotted with a paper towel. I also colored my my castle with a water brush and Ranger Ink Vintage Photo ink and a Zig Real Clean color brush marker in gray.

For the ground, I used Catherine Pooler midnight and a dauber to sponge on the ink and used a white gel pen and bits of glitter and glue to make it look like fireflies flitting about the ground. White paint is dotted onto my night sky for stars. I also colored the windows in the castle to give off a light effect. The cloud behind the castle was also colored with a touch of gray.

My sentiment was inked onto black cardstock with my new white pigment ink. If you want to get a really good inking, use your Misti stamp positioner to ink your sentiment a few times but be sure and use a heat tool to dry your ink between each stamping. I only do this with pigment ink because it does take a little longer to dry. This will give a really nice brilliant white. Because it's pigment ink though, and this ink was really juicy, I decided to heat set it with clear embossing powder so it wouldn't smudge. A strip of Harry Potter washi tape is lined just below my black border. Everything is adhered with my EZ Grand Runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I love how this card turned out! I'm going to have a hard time giving this one up, haha! I can always make another though, right? If you'd like more information on the current sales, be sure and head over to the website or visit the Crackerbox/Suzy blog. I do want to go ahead and let you know about a couple things.

This Saturday, Sept. 29th, Crackerbox & Suzy stamps will be a sponsor over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers for a special blog hop in celebration of National Coffee Day. Don't miss it! There will be lots of prizes and we will be offering up a discount on all of our drink stamps all weekend.

Sounds like fun, right? Mark your calendar! I'll see you there. Stay crafty, friends...... Terri
