CUPPA LOVE

Hello Crafty Friends! 

Today I have a fun and easy way to use up your scrap cardstock pieces to create a fun background along with CUPPA LOVE die set from Spellbinders. 

Here's the fun and BRIGHT card I made using up a few pieces of scrap along with some adhesive.

I started by cutting 1/4'"strips out of my collection of scrap cardstock pieces. I then applied Be Creative Adhesive sheet to the back of a piece of copy paper cut to 4.25"x 5.5". I  then peeled of the release paper and started lining up my strips...really quick and easy! ;o) I started with the colors of the rainbow but lost a bit  of the ROY G BIV order when I cut it down for my panel. BUT I still think it's fun and pretty! lol

I applied Candied Apple Distress Oxide to Bristol Smooth paper,  straight from the pad, no blending tool and used that to die cut the cup from CUPPA LOVE. I  then used Vintage Photo Distress Oxide applied to Bristol Smooth to die cut the Coffee portion from the die set  as well. I adhered it all together and added some leaves and a little heart from the same set to complete my mug. Some little white gel pen highlights and some Nuvo Crystal Glaze applied to the coffee and heart finished it off...doesn't it look good enough to drink???

A sentiment from Art Impressions Latte Love Set stamped with Black Onyx Versafine Ink die cut with MFT-  Fishtails completed my sentiment. I adhered the panel to black cardstock and applied it to my base card with fun foam. A natural hemp ribbon finished off my card.

So  there we have it, a fun and realtively easy way to use up some scraps to get a BRIGHT background for your cards.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

SCRAP N' STAMP~ All That Sparkles Blog Hop

Happy Friday crafty friends! Today, we have a fun little blog hop 

Be sure to comment on all the stops on the hop to be eligible for one of 6 SPARKLY GIFT PACKS and 1 $25  Scrap N' Stamp Gift Certificate. 

 PLUS there's a challenge over at the SCRAP N' STAMP FB Group- the theme is ALL THAT SPARKLES...so get out your glitter, shimmer ...anything that sparkles!! 

So here's the card I made using a Spellbinder's Snowflakes Die as a stencil, Nuvo Glimmer Paste and Distress Oxides. 

I started with Smooth Bristol Paper and applied Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides. I love this color combo for an ombre effect! I used one of the curved MFT- Basic Edge dies on the lower half.

 I then die cut a Spellbinder's snowflake die onto cardstock and used it as a stencil with Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste to create that sparkly effect, I masked off the center before I applied the past so I could add my sentiment. I used "MERRY" from  the Concord & 9th Christmas Cottage set and stamped it onto the center of the snowflake with Versafine Crimson Red ink.  I then die cut the "Christmas" Sentiment from Silver glitter paper using the Birch Press Christmas Sugar Script Die. I also die cut it out from White CS several times and layered them all together to give it more dimension.  I then adhered the 2 panels onto my card base with fun foam and added a strip of the silver Glitter paper in between the 2 layers. 

For the inside of my card, I used the same Distress Inks from my card front with TH Mini Weathered Winter Snowflakes stamps. A sentiment from an older Cornish Heritage Farm stamp set. 

I hope I've inspired you to get crafty and play along with our ALL THAT SPARKLES challenge this month!
