Coffee: Day 4 Coffee Blog Hop

Today is Day 4 of the Coffee Loving Card Makers Hop!  We're back with the digital papers that I used from Taylor Made Cards 4U!  Using her papers and ephemera to create this vintage card.  I used Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo to distress all around the edges of the background and ephemera.  Brought in some jute to create the finishing touch for our card and there you have it!  I left the inside blank for any occasion.  Please check out the hop for more great cards and inspiration!  Thanks for stopping by!!

 

Harvest Fair Kit - Digital Images

 Fall is in the air!  I am sure that many of us are all lovers of fall, especially those that can experience the changing of the colors to the tress and shrubs, the drying of the corn fields and the noticeable change of the temperature.  Living in the Midwest has really provided me with such an array of wonderful colors to appreciate, I wish it could be fall all year round.  

This blog post is two-fold for me. First it's my official announcement that I am a brand new Design Team member for Taylor Made Card 4 U!  I'm SO THRILLED & EXCITED to join the ranks of some VERY talented woman bringing alive Monica's digital kits.  For this month, it's none other than the Harvest Fair digital kit.  The second is creating cards with fall colors as well as a more vintage style (something I truly love very much).  

There is a Design Team hop for this beautiful kit (Monica also offers a Harvest Fair Journal Bundle too).  There will be other blog posts and videos (see the end of my blog for all the links).  Using the Harvest Fair Kit, I printed out a few additional materials and added in some cardstock to create 8 beautiful cards.  If you'd like to see more details on how I made 2 of the 8 cards, please check out my you tube video: 

Crafter’s Castle is currently having a monthly challenge and you can find that link here: Crafter's Castle. This prize is the Harvest Fair Kit from Taylormadecards4u that the design team is working with this month.

Coffee Clutch

I was recently asked to create some coffee cards to sell for a friend of mine, in her newly found home business company called Java Momma. Java Momma is a home-based business created to sell quality coffee, tea, herbal tea, tisanes and cocoa. Being a lover of both coffee and tea, I was excited to oblige! What further sparked my creativity was using a digital kit and ephemera from an online company called, Taylormadecards4u. I really love how these cards turned out and now they are for sale in my friends online coffee/tea group. I am also entering these into a challenge on Crafter's Castle Blog. Listed down below will be the items I used to create these cards.

For these cards I used Kraft paper, Neehah 80# cardstock, Hammermill 60# paper to print the digital images on, Tim Holtz distressed inks: vintage photo, gathered twigs and brushed corduroy. I also embossed a fancy paper clip to use too. The kits I used to create these cards from Taylormadecards4u were: An English Garden, Coffee and Tea Labels, Coffee Blend Paper pack, Coffee Dictionary Page, Cofee Labels 1, Coffee Labels Set, Tea and Coffees, and Coffee Large Flash Cards. As you can see, I was able to create an amazing variety of coffee/tea/cocoa cards simply using digital kits!
