Latte Love Shaker Card for Catherine Pooler Designs

Hey crafty friends! The new Stay Cozy collection from Catherine Pooler Designs is now live! My caffeinated heart couldn't be happier. Of course, there's plenty of other holiday goodness in this collection too. I've made a fun little shaker card so scroll down for creative details. Click any of the highlighted links throughout this post for more information. I'll have my full supply list at the end, as well.

I decided I wanted to do some masking and stamping with the two mugs on the front of my card, having them slightly overlap one another, and then hand trim them together. All my stamped images are from the new Cup of Cheer stamp set. Initially I was thinking of doing a one layer card but went in another direction.

The masking also included taping over where the rim of the cup would be, so I could stamp my whipped cream.

From my stash, I grabbed my CPD Around the Loop dies. This is what I used to create my shaker element and also as a layering for my backdrop, using the Stay Cozy patterned papers.

With the smallest loop die, I ran white cardstock through my Platinum 6 die cut system, then stamped the mistletoe at draped angles and did some ink blending around the edges.

I typically glue a few sequins to the shaker element, then add the remaining sequins.

I grabbed some green burlap string from my stash and fashioned a cute bow. It's really easy to make. I trim a long piece then make a triple loop 3 times, securing it with a tiny piece of wire.

You can go here to view the short 1 minute craft hack video that I made some time ago, on my YouTube channel.

To embellish my bow, I hot glued one of the snow flake sequins from the new CPD Whistler sequin mix (also part of my shaker) and sprinkled on some of the Cotton Candy Sprinkles Glitter by WOW. It's available in the CPD shop too and is one of my favorite glitters in my stash. It goes with EVERYTHING!

For some extra fun factor, I jazzed up the inside of my card too. I mean, come one, it's a Christmas card, let's make it extra special, right?

 Lastly, I split my sentiment, stamping the top line and adding the .... at the end with a fine liner black pen. Then I stamped the bottom section for the inside of my card.

Here are the CPD ink colors I used:

Polished, Aquatini, Over Coffee, Macchiato (mugs, mistletoe, coffee, whipped cream)

S'mores (sentiment)

Wintergreen (ink blending)

Let me know if you have any questions in the comment section. Thanks so much for stopping by!

National Coffee Week at Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello friends, I'm guesting over at Coffee Loving Papercrafters today, in honor of National Coffee Week. Wahoo! I love nothing more than a good, caffeinated party! Be sure and head over there for all the fun festivities this past week and be sure and check out the sponsor industry hop over on Instagram. Today's card features a gorgeous new stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps called Pumpkin Spice and I absolutely love it!

 (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, at no additional cost to you.)

This release comes with the main image, 5 different sentiments and several additional leafy images. Let me say, when coloring coloring stamped images, I highly recommend you use a quality, smooth cardstock, such as Neenah Solar White Smooth or Ultra Smooth. At minimum, at least 80 -100 lb weight. Paper matters, trust me. I've seen so many novice cardmakers over the years post about not getting good results and ultimately, it boils down to quality paper and quality artist markers.

For my coloring, I used OLO Markers in these colors:

OR2.3 - Salmon

OR1.6 - Orangutan

OR7.4 - Milk Tea

YO2.7 - Sepia

O2.7 - Cinnamon

OR4.2 -  Pink Granite

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YO2.3 - Butterscotch

YG8.5 - Moss

I stamped my image several times so I could do some hand trimming of my designs for paper piecing.  I trimmed all around the cup, using it as a template to trace onto the plaid which was then hand trimmed again. 

Next, I colored the large pumpkin, leaf and flower that juts up to the side of my cup, and hand trimmed them to adhere to my finished card panel at the end.

Now, it's time to assemble. I adhered my plaid paper cup to the image, colored all the remaining images, then adhered my extra pumpkin, leaf and flower. I love plaid so much. It's my absolute favorite paper and I use it a lot for Fall and Winter projects. All my papers are from Scrapbookcom paper pads. The plaid paper is from the Cozy patterned paper pad and the orange and brown paper is from the Joyful patterned paper pad. Both paper pads are double sided and have patterned and solid papers included.

To frame my card, I used the Nested Postage Stamp Polaroid Frame dies, also from Scrapbookcom. I used the largest one in the set, which works perfectly for A2 sized cards. I've had these dies in my stash for awhile, but never used them. I was so pleased with the results and how it complements my colorful image! I die cut twice with my Platinum 6 die cut machine - once with my colored image and once with the brown paper, then swapped out the center pieces. Easy peasy!

 

As you can see, I also trimmed a section of the plaid paper as a backing to my sentiment, then added some embellishment to my card using burlap string and a half pearl from a shaker mix, which were both adhered with a hot glue gun.

This is a vertical card that measures in at 4 x 5.50 inches which is just under A2 size. I did trim the side of my white card just a bit before assembling, to have all my trimmed papers and die cut frame appear equal in dimension. I typically eyeball everything as I'm working and measure later, 'cause that's how I roll, haha.

Thanks so much for popping in. If you'd like more product information or wish to add some of these yummy goodies to your stash, just tap any of the affiliate links below, provided at no additional cost to you. I hope you have a fantastic, creative weekend!
