A Lotle Coffee - Miss Ink Stamps

I do need alotle coffee!!  I decided to make a background with the Latte Love stencil.  I stenciled the latte hearts first with some Lagoon Distress Ink because the Opal deco foil is very light and I thought it might make them show up a little better.  Then without removing the stencil I added some Transfer Gel Duo and set it aside to dry to tacky.

While it was drying I stamped, cut and colored my other pieces.  When it was tacky, I added the foil and placed it in a carrier sheet and then ran it through my die cutting machine... no heat needed because the Duo gel has enough tack to transfer the foil without heat and then my gel doesn't spread!  I also took my shim out because you don't need a ton of pressure.

I thought the hearts kind of looked like water especially with that shimmery opal.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping!

Miss Ink Stamps and the 2023 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

This is my second card for today!  It's the start of the Spring/Summer 2023 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Miss Ink Stamps is a sponsor and I have a card for you today that uses some fun caffeinated stuff from the shop AND a sneak peek of a die set coming soon!

I used FOUR different stencils on this card!  Three for the background and one for the line of mugs at the bottom of the card.

I started by adding some purple through the Ins and Outs Quatrefoil window.  Then I masked the window area and placed the Latte Love stencil over the top of it and blended some blue and purple.  Next, I added the outline in the darker purple and finally placed the window stencil back over the top and used the Latte Lace with some purple Glitz Glitter Gel and set it aside to dry.

I created these cups with the Hug In A Mug stencil set and added black Glitz Glitter Gel for the detail layer.  I then fussy cut the cups out and added them over a strip at the bottom of the card.  Finally I cut that AWESOME die coming soon from Miss Ink stamps over the top of the Quatrefoil window.

Thank you so much for stopping!  Be sure to hop on over to the Miss Ink Stamps Blog to start hopping for chances to win lots of awesome prizes!  And stay tuned for the start of official sneak peeks for the new release over at Miss Ink Stamps on Wednesday as well as another chance to win over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog next Wednesday!

Give It Your Best Shot - Miss Ink Stamps

Hello!  Happy Friday!  I've got some caffeinated inspiration for you today!  It seems my week has been full of it!

I started with a slimline I created with my Gel Press and the Latte Love Stencil along with some shimmery acrylic inks.  I heat embossed the floral from the Brewtiful stamp set in gold on teal cardstock that I diecut with the same slimline die that I cut the base panel with.  Then I fussy cut the florals leaving the stitched edges and popped them up onto the card on either end.

Finally, I stamped, cut and colored the X and cup and stamped the sentiment and added them and a few sequins!

Here's a short video showing all the backgrounds I made with the Latte Love stencil!  You'll find other cards I made using some of them here and here and here!

That's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed it and you'll come again soon!

Miss Ink Stamps Stencil Release - Latte Love!

Welcome back!  Excited because today we've got some awesome new stencils in the Miss Ink shop!  I'm sharing Latte Love with you today!

Sometimes all you need is a fabulous stencil and a great sentiment!  I blended some Distress Oxide Inks in a circle pattern through the stencil I offset on the side of this one.  I was planning on a full rainbow, but decided to go with these colors instead.  When I was done blending the inks, I wiped off the top of the stencil and then applied some clear texture paste through it.   While it was wet I sprinkled on just a tiny bit of white glitter for a little bit of sparkle.

While it was driving I stamped one of the sentiments from Unbirthday using a few different purples and fussy cut it out.  I added foam tape and then popped it up over the stenciled area.  We all know some one who doesn't like to celebrate their birthday and this sentiment is perfect for the other 364 days of the year!

Thanks for stopping and hope you enjoyed it!  You can find all of the fantastic stencils over at Miss Ink at this link here!  We'll be sharing makes with all of the new stencils over the next week or so and there's a giveway over at the Miss Ink account on IG!  Head on over there for the details!
