Caffeine Fuled Paper Play... Tribute to Craftin Desert Divas

Hello everyone

First of all I would like to Thanks Lisa Bzibziak for inviting me to join  her Caffeine Fueled Paper Play Challenge over Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog and pay tribute to my dearest Craftin Desert Divas' stamp company (CDD) which sadly closed down at end of August. 

Be sure to check out Coffee Loveing Cardmakers blog post for more details how to win some awesome prizes.  As we honor to CDD so the prizes will be CDD goodies.  Extra chance if you're using CDD coffee, tea or cacao images.

As you may know Tara Bruening is the owner of Craftin Desert Divas' stamp company. She's one of the sweetest, kindest and strongest women I ever know.  I came across CDD in 2015 through Instagram and fall in love with those cutie monsters and fun stamp designs ever since.

As a newbie, Tara gave me an opportunity to be under her design team for CDD since 2016 and I was so excited and at the same time worried since it's my 1st being a design team member.  I remembered I spent many hours learning how to establish my blog and FaceBook fan page.  She always tried to make her each and every release fun and engaged with customers.  We had FB hop as well as blog hop.  And when my 1st blog post went live I stayed up late to make sure that everything was right. *lol*

Over the past 4 years, I've grown up and learnt so much from her and CDD. The stamps designs got better and better in each release so as our relationship.  Even CDD shop is gone but Tara and CDD stamps will always be dear to my heart.  I wish her all the best and success in anything she wishes for.

So I crated these 2 cards to honor Craftin Desert Divas' and my friend Tara.  And of course I used CDD stamps, dies and stencils.

First, the darling mouse from "Love Your Mug" stamp and decorative edges with Daisy Border dies

Second card, with the adorable mushroom coffee shop and an cutie troll are from "Coffee Trolls" stamp set and border frame is Fancy Frame dies.  Background scene with "Blooming Tree" and "Hill Scene 2" (clouds) stencils

I hope you like them and as much as I do.  I also hope you play along with the Caffeine Fueled Paper Play Challenge and win some CDD goodies which are now can't find anywhere else.  Good Luck everyone.  

And once again Lisa, Thanks for having me.

Much Love,

Jan

Bean Thinking About You

Good Day to you all...

Im back with my 2nd project for 2017 Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using Craftin Desert Divas latest Coffee Theme digital stamps - Coffee Shop and Daily Grind digital stamps.  Here is what I made.

I used the cute little girl and her coffee mug from Coffee Shop digital stamp and combined with the Coffee Grider machine from Daily Grind digital stamp.  I used Microsoft Powerpoint to arrange the images and the sentiment then saved it to Microsoft Words and printed it out onto my white cardstock.

I handrawn the cabinet counter for the coffee ginder machine to stand on as well as the floor and the wall as if they were the light grey tiles for the floor and light blue wall paper for the wall...

All images were colored with copic marker.  I then cut the panel using Picture Frame die and stamped the sentiment using Got Coffee stamp.  Both are from Crafting Desert Divas.

Here is how it looked before colored on MS Word

Hello everyone...

Joining Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop... Here's my little card using Digital stamps from Craftin Desert Divas - Coffee Date and Coffee Shop Digital Stamps

Here is what I made

I love this lovely date couple.  So I set the scene for outdoor coffee date using the digital stamps from Craftin Desert Divas called Coffee Date digital stamp and I also used the coffee shop blackboard from Coffee Shop digital stamp.  I used Microsoft Powerpoint to arrange the images and the sentiment then saved it to Microsoft Words and printed it out onto my white cardstock.

I colored them with copic marker and cut out the panel with Inside Scalloped Square dies from Craftin Desert Divas.  Used distress inks to blend my background scene and attached all onto light blue cardbase.

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello there my crafty coffee lovers friends....

I am super excited to be back on Craftin Desert Divas Blog sharing with you my project for Fall Coffee Lover Blog Hop.
I am also enterring this card for Fall Coffee Lover Blog Hop #fall2016clh

Here is what I created

I used Got Coffee stamp along with Shaker Tag Dies to create my main focal point.  I die cut the tag die from white card stock and began to stamp the images and masked them off so that I could create the stripe pattern.  I used various sizes of masking tapes or washi tapes and colored them with distress inks and color dusters.  I then colored the images with copic markers.

Here is closer look at the tags and images

For my background, I stamped and heat embossed the images all over with copper embossing powder to create my own background. I then die cute the background panel with the largest die from Picture Frame dies and used color duster with antique linen distress ink to give it some colors.

I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and also used the Picture Frame Dies to create the matching edge with the background panel.  I added form tape at the back of my tag and began to assembly my card.

Here is another closer look

I attached my whole panel on black card base and finished it off by sprinkle Shimmer Sequins here and there. And it's done!

We have some new release digital stamps coffee theme at CDD shop. But Here is our Freebie for you.
