Celeste and I are back with our Coffee & Cards blog collaboration for April . Every month we choose a theme and make a card . We both love coffee so we also talk about what coffee we are drinking or cute new cup we are using !! This month we chose to create with stamps from one of our favorite companies - Unity Stamp Company . I have so many of their wonderful stamps and this gave me the chance to finally ink up a set that I have had for awhile.
Remember Me is a fabulous stamp set !! The woman with the suitcase is easily colored and fussy-cut and there are also 5 sentiments included. The sentiments are appropriate for a variety of cards - travel, encouragement, thinking of you .
- I stamped the woman with the suitcase on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink .
- The sentiment was stamped next to the woman with Memento Teal Zeal ink .
- I colored the woman with my COPIC markers .
- The DCWV Postcards paper pad was perfect for this stamp set . I adhered a piece of postal paper to a Kraft card base and also cut out and paper-punched some of the stamp images for this card . I used a fun postage stamp punch .
- The stamped panel was adhered to a piece of turquoise cardstock and then adhered to the Kraft card base.
- I placed the 4 "postage stamps" on the stamped panel with foam tabs .
I loved this stamp set so much that I made 2 cards for this post. For my second card, I fussy-cut the woman and used a Tim Holtz Chipboard Quote .
I can't wait to see what Celeste has made. And especially which Unity stamp she has chosen to create with !! Take a look at her card over at her blog at this link - Crafting Junky . This month I am drinking Iced Pecan Praline coffee - and I'm using a new Java Sox "Coffee Break" coffee sleeve . These sleeves keep your drinks cold and your hand and table dry . I have a few of these and also like to give them as gifts !!
Thank you for visiting and looking at our latest creations !! We love coming up with new themes to challenge us and it's always fun to see how different or similar our cards are !! I already have several ideas for the next few months . Until then, Stay Creative.

Great cards! I especially like your first one and you u have inspired me to use this stamp for a card for my granddaughter that is just completing her first year of college. ❤️
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are very pretty, I especially like the second one, the colors have a Mediterranean vibe to me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTwo really fun cards. Love them both!
