Make Me Coffee and Tell Me I'm Pretty!

  Hello friends!  I am so excited to share my first ever project for Eyelet Outlet!  One of the things that I love most about Eyelet Outlet is all of the amazing embellishments that they carry!  There is literally something for every single project you can think of. 

Have you jumped on the Memory Dex train yet?  I am just getting started and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to use some of the fun embellishments that they have to offer in the Eyelet Outlet store.  If you know me, you know that I love everything about coffee, so this adorable image and sentiment from the Cute Girls Coffee stamp set really resonated with me!

I colored up this little cutie with Copics (colors listed below) and cut her out.  I embossed my sentiment in white and cut the strips into banners.  I die-cut three Memory Dex cards - two from solid card stock and one from patterned paper.  I trimmed the patterned paper dex card to 2" tall and adhered it to one of the solid cards.  I wrapped Sparkle Pink Glitter Washi Tape around the card and adhered the other solid card to the back.  I fun flocked the little puffs of steam, to add some texture to them and adhered the sentiment flags to the back of my main image and then adhered it to the card.  Lastly, I added some pretty pink pearls as embellishment.

Celebrating You Card

 Good morning, lovelies!  Today, I am sharing a card I made to enter into two challenges.  

I stumbled across The Flower Challenge  and it sounded right up my alley!  It is a challenge that celebrates cards using flowers, and you know I love flowers. 

The prompt for this challenge is to add spots or stripes... and of course, use flowers.  

For my card, I started with a panel of white card stock, and I covered it in washi tape.  This is perfect for those wide rolls of washi tape you might have in your stash that you don't know what to do with.  I had seen this technique, but never tried it.  It is perfect for creating a background panel in no time at all.  I folded the top and bottom edges over and trimmed the excess off of the sides. 

I had some floral images that I had stamped a while ago and hadn't used, so I die-cut them.  When I tried arranging them on my panel, I felt like it needed something else, so I die-cut a square frame, turned it to make a diamond, and layered my flowers over and under it.  When I was happy with the placement, I glued the elements together and adhered it to my card panel, which I then attached to a black card base. 

Lastly, I embossed my sentiment in white on black card stock and popped it up with some foam tape. I decided against adding any embellishments, as the background was busy enough.  I love this card and I can't believe how quick and easy it was to put together!  

I am also entering it into the Altenew Fan Group Monthly Challenge:  Washi Wonders.  Guess what the requirement is for that challenge!
