Coffee Cafe Gift Card Holder

Hey there Stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

Although the Coffee Cafe stamp set and dies are now retired, this was a fabulous set to use for those gift card holders. Today's card is another one from our Stampers Club last month and features a cute little pocket to hold your gift card.

For the front of this card I embossed the background using white embossing powder on Crumb Cake Cardstock. Then I sponged over top using Early Espresso ink. I added Burlap Ribbon and Pool Party Baker's Twine, and die cut coffee cup.

On this inside, we stamped the coffee beans and sentiment in Early Espresso ink. The pocket was made with Pool Party cardstock and the 1" circle punch. Make sure to only adhere the sides and bottom of the cardstock so that your gift card will slide in and out.

Coffee Cafe

Hey there Stampers! Thanks for stopping by today!

I've had a crazy few weeks in my personal life unfortunately, and I'm looking forward to hopefully getting back to some stability and the chance to get some crafting done with the new catalogue products.

Today's card features a retired stamp set - Coffee Cafe. This is one of the cards that my Stamper's Club made last month.

For the background on this card, we took the Early Espresso and Pear Pizzaz ink pads and used the upper edge to swipe across the cardstock. The corners were rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch. The Happy Birthday sentiment and outline were embossed onto the cup wrap using Copper Embossing Powder and the cup was die cut with Early Espresso cardstock. The top of the cup was die cut from Vellum and the card was accented with Copper Metallic Sequins and Copper Trim.

ATC Swap Part 2 - Favourite Retiring Product

Butterfly Floating Frame

hey there Stampers! Happy Tuesday!

Today's card features the Floating Frame technique and the Butterfly Gala Bundle. This technique has been very popular online lately and I've made a few more cards that I'll share soon.

for this technique you will need some Glad Press 'N Seal and lots of dimensionals!

First I stamped a bunch of butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto Whisper White scrap paper. I coloured them with Stampin' Blends then punched them out using the Butterfly Duet punch.

At this point I placed all the punched out butterflies onto a piece of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Whisper White cardstock. They are not glued down just placed. Take a piece of Press 'N Seal and use your embossing buddy to get some of the stickiness off it. Once you have the butterflies where you want them, take the piece of Press 'N Seal and place it over the cardstock piece to hold everything in place. Trim everything to the edges of the cardstock so nothing is hanging over. 

Carefully move it to your Big Shot and use the Rectangle Stitched Framelits to cut out the centre. Next turn your frame over and peel away the cardstock. Add dimensionals to each of the butterflies. Now you can carefully place your frame onto your card front. Slowly and carefully remove the Press 'N Seal from the front of the frame. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to a piece of Basic Black cardstock. Adhere this in the middle of your frame.
