Coffee & Friends-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

Hello! Welcome to the September Coffee and Cards with Celeste and Deb collaboration. Debra found this amazing inspiration photo for us to use, and I was so excited to play with some fall themed stamps! To create my card I started by layering some early espresso cardstock from Stampin' UP onto my white A2 card base. I then layered a gorgeous piece of plaid patterned paper from the Paper Rose Autumn Plaid 6x6 paper pad on top. I stamped the images from Simon Says Stamp's Pumpkin Spice Sentiments stamp set onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock. I colored them using my alcohol markers in tones complimenting the plaid paper. I die cut the panel using a Gina Marie Designs wonky stitch edge rectangle stacking die. I popped the panel up off of my card using 3M foam tape. I die cut two of the stitched autumn leaves from Jillian Vance Designs using some coordinating-colored cardstock and added them to the upper right corner. To finish up my card I added some natural twine from American Crafts to the leaves and some white gel pen details to the pumpkins and the scarf. 

For my coffee this month I chose an iced pumpkin spice latte from McDonald's. I don't usually go there but it was handy and on my way home. Now, be sure to stop by Debra's blog and see what fun, crafty goodness she created! 

 

 

It's Pumpkin Spice Season-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

Hello and welcome to the September Coffee and Cards with Celeste and Deb collaboration. This month Deb and I are celebrating all things pumpkin spice! I recently picked up the Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin Spice Season stamp set and I couldn't think of anything more perfect for this collaboration than that, right? I started by stamping the focal image and sentiment onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored it using my alcohol markers. I die cut it down to a small panel using a Paper Rose stitched rectangle die. Using papers from Echo Park Reflections Fall 12x12 paper pack and some early espresso cardstock from Stampin' UP I created some stacked rectangle panels and mounted them to my card. I popped my focal panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape and finished it off by added some details with my white Gelly Roll pen and some 4mm espresso sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I love this card so very much and will probably create a few more in different color combos. 

For my coffee I opted for a nice iced pumpkin spice Frappuccino from Starbucks. I can't wait to see what fun Deb created for this month's challenge!
