Sweet Sugarplum and Coffee Cafe stamp set

  • Sweet Sugarplum Coffee Cafe

Here's to Sweet Sugarplum Coffee Cafe 


Happy August 1!  This is going to be a very busy month.  

 Watch this blog for a list of Stampin' Up! items you can order tax free during Texas tax holiday.

 My customers will receive a copy of the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog shortly after August 15.  A copy will go live on the Stampin' Up! site Sept 1, when customers can begin ordering Fall and Holiday products.

 Customers can pre-order one of the Holiday stamps from the new catalog THIS MONTH, instead of waiting until Sept 1 to order from the new catalog.  Watch for samples using this Holiday stamp in the next few days.

 Today's card uses the Coffee Cafe suite from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.


The basecard is Sweet Sugarplum, then a layer of Rich Razzleberry, and an image layer of Whisper White.  The two tags are Silver Glimmer Paper and a paper from the 6 X 6 Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Pack.  




The paper for the cup is also a pattern from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Pack.  The top is cut from Vellum cardstock and the whipped cream is cut from Whisper White.  The cup banner is cut from Smoky Slate cardstock.  The Coffee Cups Framelit Dies were used to cut the various pieces of the cup.  One of the Coffee Cups Framelit dies also creates the corrugated look on the cup banner.  



The sentiments is also from the Coffee Cafe set.  Just the word Friend from the sentiment was masked and stamped in VersaMark and then covered with White embossing powder and turned shiny using my Heat tool.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum striped ribbon.  I cased the card from Kelly Kent, who posted the card on a demonstrator-only sharing Facebook site. 

 The coffee stain on the Whisper White layer is from the Timeless Textures.  The coffee beans are from the Coffee Cafe set and stamped off once in Smoky Slate.

 Well, I'm pretty tired.  I was up at 4:00 AM putting in my demonstrator pre-order from the new Holiday catalog.  As soon as my order arrives, I'll start posting samples of projects from the Holiday catalog so you'll get a chance to look over some of the new products coming available September 1.  Can you believe Fall is just around the corner?

Last Day for Demonstrator Sign Up Deal

  • Holiday card with Sheet Music
  • Last Chance for demonstrator sign up deal
  • July Bonus Days End today
  • Become a demonstrator and see the Holiday catalog now

Holiday music in the air 


I finally finished swaps using the Brushwork Alphabet set that creates beautiful sentiments for your cards.  I'm still on a Christmas Card kick fueled by the fact that Stampin' Up! carried over so many wonderful Holiday sets in the big annual catalog.  Although I've seen the new Holiday catalog that demonstrators can begin ordering from August 1, I know I'll be using stamp sets from the new catalog as well as the many wonderful sets carried over from the Holiday catalog from last year.  I'm so happy to have such a wide selection of stamp sets to play with this year!

 I'm so in love with the Sheet Music background stamp I had to use it as a background for this card.  Then I pulled out my every-popular Lovely as a Tree set as a focal point.




The base card for my card is Fresh Fig and the sentiment stamped with Brushworks Alphabet is also stamped in Fresh Fig ink.  

 I used my big shot and the largest Layering Ovals thinlit to cut a vellum cardstock layer.  Then I cut a smaller oval in Whisper White to back the vellum layer and make the image pop.  On the vellum cardstock layer, I stamped one of the pine trees from Lovely as a Tree in Old Olive.  I then added falling snow to the vellum layer by running it through the Big Shot using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  

        
The Sheet Music background stamp was stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I thought about  sponging the edges, but I really liked the crisp, clean look of the sheet music background without antiquing.  I matted the sheet music on Basic Black and mounted it to the Fresh Fig basecard.  

 I added Metallic Enamel Shape dots to the edges of the sentiment so that I could add mini glue dots to hold the vellum sentiment in place without glue showing through the vellum.  I added a Metallic Enamel gold star to the top of the tree and then added a small bow in 1/8" Sheer Ribbon in Old Olive.
