Kelly's Seattle Stamp and Coffee

Hello, and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest. We paired Kelly Purkey's Seattle stamp with the Coffee Cup Die from MFT Stamps for this fun coffee card. 


The coffee cup was cut from watercolor paper and the stamps layered and masked to create the Seattle scene on the front of the cup.  After stamping the images with black Archival Ink, they were colored with the Gansai Tambi watercolors.


SUPPLIES USED:

Coffee Cup Die from MFT Stamps
Kelly's Seattle stamp from Hero Arts
Gansai Tambi Watercolors from Kuretake Zig
Archival Ink from Ranger Ink
Watercolor paper from Strathmore

So Grateful For You

We're sharing a quick and simple card today!

We used the Grateful for You stamp and die set from MFT Stamps, along with their Striped Sentiment Cover-up die to create this card.


The flower and leaf embellishments were cut from Paper Smooches Foliage 1 die and Flowers 2 die.  After cutting them, we added Clear Wink of Stella to the top (as usual, you can't see it in the photo).


We added Stick-it to the back of watercolor paper and cut the word grateful twice. Then, colored one of them with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and stacked them together for some added dimension.  The scallop edge die is from Blueprints #20.


Supplies Used:

Grateful for You stamp and die set from MFT Stamps
Striped Sentiment Cover-up from MFT Stamps
Foliage 1 and Flowers 2 dies from Paper Smooches
Wink of Stella pen from Kuretake/Zig
Stick-it Paper
Clean Color Real Brush markers from Kuretake/Zig
Blueprints #20 from MFT Stamps
