Hello everyone! I am so excited to share that I am doing another Guest Design term over at Doodle’s Paper Playground! I just adore all of the Sparkle Blends that Doodle’s has in their Sparkle Blends Etsy Shop, but they also have some fantastic embellishments that are outside of the realm of Sparkle Blends too!
Before we jump into today’s project, I wanted to let you know that I sometimes use affiliate links to share my favorite products. Don’t worry, these links won’t cost you a dime – they’re just little crafty helpers behind the scenes that help support me if you use them to make a purchase! Let’s dive into today’s creative journey together!
Today, I have a quick post where I am sharing a card that I created using the Java Nice Day stamp set by Pink & Main that also combines TWO different embellishment options by Doodle’s Paper Playground: Crystal Clear Bubbles and Coffee Beans! They just work absolutely perfect with the images and sentiment I selected for this card, and the finished product makes me so happy!
Below is a supply list of the products I used to create this card:
Crystal Clear Bubbles by Doodle’s Paper Playground
Coffee Beans by Doodle’s Paper Playground
Java Nice Day Stamp Set by Pink & Main
Java Nice Day Die Cuts by Pink & Main
Notched Corner Dies by Pink & Main
Stitched Rectangles Set 1 Dies by Pink & Main
Inked Oasis Paper Pack by Pink & Main
Catherine Pooler Inks
Distress Oxide Inks: Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin & Picked Raspberry
Clear Embossing Powder by Kindred Stamps
Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink
Blending Cardstock
Black Onyx Cardstock
Watercolor Cardstock
Liquid Adhesive
Foam Tape
I also wanted to provide a quick description of the key elements of my card:
- I stamped both of my coffee images from Java Nice Day in Nocturne Ink on Watercolor Cardstock, which I then heat embossed in Clear Embossing Powder. I was able to then watercolor over the images with Catherine Pooler Inks and die cut them out.
- I die cut (1) notched corners die from blending cardstock and (1) of the same size from Black Onyx cardstock. I blended up my Distress Oxides on the blending cardstock die cut and spritzed with water for bleach marks. I adhered the Oxide layer on top of the black layer, slightly offsetting the 2 so the black die cut was peaking out underneath.
- The Inked Oasis Paper was die cut with the A2-sized stitched rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangles Set 1 Die Set.
- My sentiment was stamped in Nocturne Ink and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.
- I adhered my notched rectangles unit and embellishments to my card with liquid adhesive, and the coffee cups with foam tape.
