There's always time for tea!

Hello to all!

Happy Friday!

I am so excited as the fun has already begun at Winter Fall / Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2021 hosted by Talented Amy and the team!

Each morning I started my day with a cup of ginger masala tea. I love waking up in the morning and sitting down with a hot cup of tea before beginning my day!

When I saw this stamp set from Uniko I recently added ut into my stash. My mind started imagining all the possibilities with this set and couldn't wait to use it!

This is the first card that I made for this coffee lovers hop. I love the colors and artistic look I used on this card.

I made different patterns on my cups. I started by stamping the three-cup in all and heat embossing using opaque bright white EP. Fussy cut them all On the first one I added some DO ink and added some pattern with a sentiment, heat embossed in metallic gold.

On the second cup I applied some acrylic chalk paints with my palette knife and added a heat embossed heart in white.

And on the third one, I applied some DO ink and added some splatters using a stencil.

Now on my focal panel I slightly added some stripes in very fade pink ink.

And added that panel to my card base adhered all the stacks of cups with dimension.

I stacked the cups. added some hearts and finished off with placing a die-cut border before placing the cups.

I think it's time for another cuppa tea. I will be posting a couple more cards from this set in the next few days.

I am hoping these artistic cups have cool look and brighten your day and inspire your creativity today!

Happy crafting!

Beautiful Blue with stained glass technique!

 Hello!

Happy Monday!

Some weeks ago I bought a few glitter bottles and couldn't wait to give them a go. So Today I pulled out some memory box dies and used them for my card with glitter fun!

https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2021/07/winners-158.html

I started with to make a Tessatina border using some snippets of white cards and using double sided adhesive sheets. Added some different shades of blue color glitters for shining glaze. Die cut a hug word out of navy blue glitter sheet. And some stenciling was done using DI.

Then die cut this beautiful butterfly die 4 times or memory box which is my fave too and used the same steps to achieve the stained glass look!

Now adhered that flutter by and as an embellishment added some light blue drops.

I think all the blue hues peeking out from the border would be reminiscent of bright blue skies.....something I am surely missing these rainy day!

Happy crafting!
