HELLO FRIEND COLLABORATION

 Hi everyone! Welcome back for the second installment of the collaboration between

AND

Here is my project 

Supplies: 

Rinea: Mocha/Mocha starstruck foiled paper

Joy Clair: Succulent Frame digital stamps

Altenew: golden edge washi tape, gold string washi tape, artist markers

CTMH: espresso ink pad

I started out by cutting out a orange panel and using a leaf stencil with the espresso ink to create a soft background for my focal point. 

I then added the gold string washi to the bottom 1/3 of the panel and added a strip of the golden edge washi to ground the top. I adhered the panel to my card base and got working on coloring my main image. 

I did a lot of paper piecing on this card. It's not one of my most favorite things to do but I am loving how this card turned out. Using adhesive backed foam I adhered the main diamond panel to the front and then added in the different flowers and leaves as accents. 

I cut out the middle of the diamond so I could use the Mocha/Mocha starstruck foiled paper inside it. It gives a bit of shine to the card and it's not overwhelming. 

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!

COFFEE + BIBLE = HAPPINESS COLLABORATION WITH JOY CLAIR

 Hi Everyone! I have a fun Collaboration between 

AND

 I really enjoyed using the stamps/digi stamps I received as part of this collab and couldn't wait to share with you! I chose some fallish style stamps since October was the chosen month for us. 

Supplies used: 

Rinea: ruby/ruby starstruck foiled paper

Rinea: mocha/mocha starstruck foiled paper

Joy Clair: rustic occasions stamp set

Joy Clair: Coffee and Jesus digital stamp

Altenew: Artist Markers

CTMH: espresso, scarlet, and nectarine ink pads

Pinkfresh Studios: slim ornate banner die

Neenah solar white 80lb cardstock

Michaels: orange jute

HOW TO: 

Using the slimline ornate banner dies I created a slimline card. I then cut the two layers using the remaining two dies, one in each color of Rinea foiled paper. 

In order to make it a card I cut my white cardstock to 7" x 8 1/2" and scored/folded it at 3 1/2". Placing the die so the top and side where the fold is, is not on the paper.

Once I had my card base I started stamping around the outer edges using the rustic occasions sentiment stamp set and CTMH inks. 

After I got the outer edges all stamped I then took the next two dies and cut them from the ruby/ruby and mocha/mocha starstruck foiled paper. 

I then started coloring in the images I planned to use on my card. I trimmed out the coffee cut and the sentiment to over lay on it.  I then adhered two leaves to the upper panel and then adhered the ruby/ruby panel over them. 

Using a 1 1/4" square punch I punched out three squares. Using the same ink colors I did some ink blending. I realized after I had it added onto the red panel that I didn't need the middle one. 

I realized after I had it added onto the red panel that I didn't need the middle one.

I then added some adhesive backed foam tape to the back of my coffee cup and added it to the front of my card. Then I adhered the sentiment over the center of the cup.

I'm really happy with the way this turned out being that it's my first ever slimline card. I can't wait to pull out some of my other slimline dies and get making more. Who knows, maybe that's what I'll do for my Christmas cards this year!!
