Concord & 9th October Guest Designer - I like you more than coffee!

Hi friends! Happy Friday! Woot! Hope you had an awesome week. I had a lot of fun this week taking over the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram Stories! Did you see my videos? I really enjoyed it. That's the second time I've done that for PPP. I'm thinking of maybe incorporating some weekly videos over on Instagram... Maybe talking about that weeks' projects, or showing a card up close. What do you think? Do you follow along with me or other crafters on Instagram? I'm pretty addicted. And I really love watching IG Stories! Seeing where people live, and their craft rooms, and their pets... Makes me feel closer to them. So, I'm already off on a tangent here. 

As you know, I'm one of the guest designers for Concord & 9th for the month of October! Yeah! My assignment was for four Feature Fridays using their brand new release. Today is week #3 of Feature Friday. I have two cards to share with you today. I'm featuring the awesome new Coffee Blend stamps and dies. OH and the brand new Coffee Blend Turnabout! Let's get to gettin'.

First up is a big square card! It's 5.25 x 5.25 square. I did that in order to feature more of that cool background/turnabout image. I wanted it ALL to show! I started with a kraft card base and then layered my stamped panel (with a strip of my fav gingham) onto the kraft. I used foam tape so it's popped up just a bit.

 

The new Coffee Blend Dies Set features this cool coffee mug, with extra dies to create a heart foam art top! And a little heart too! I die cut the cup out of aqua paper and then ink blended the edges with a sponge and ink pad. If I like you more than coffee, then I like you A LOT. A WHOLE LOT! Hahaha.

 

I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock with embossing ink, and used white embossing powder. I created this little strips to use as a fun way to decorate the front of the mug.

 

Can we talk about this new Turnabout stamp??? OMG. I LOVE IT! Coooooffffeeeeee! Do you have any Turnabout Stamps? I have six or seven in my collection now. They are super fun to use and you can get so many looks by switching up the colors of the inks and papers. 

 

I used warm colors and then added a pop of aqua (as I'm known to do)... Here is a photo of the stamping in process. Using the MISTI makes it easy!

 

 

 

Next up I made a second coffee card using the Coffee Blend Dies and the new Sew Striped Die. I started with an A2 white card base and layered red gingham. For the top white layer, I used the Sew Striped Die three times to create that dotted background. I love how the red shows through the dots. I used foam tape to mount the white layer over the gingham.

 

I die cut the mug out of red cardstock and then heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder...

 

I tied on a cute little heart onto the handle. I love this as a thank you card! It would be easy to mass produce a lot of these and keep on hand. Maybe in different colors?

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Now, let's go get some coffee! (My favorite!) I hope you have a fabulous weekend! I will see you back here real soon! XOXO
