Boy do I have a fun bundle to share with you today! If you are being completely honest, what is your favorite "go to" indulgence? Is it Coffee, Chocolate, Cookies or Cocktails maybe? Guess what! With this fun bundle, you don't have to choose! All of them are fully represented and supported with some cute sentiments and great stamps to help you spread cheer all around! I recently had so much fun playing with this set and can't wait to show you the results~!
My first card focuses on all you coffee lovers! I have several in my family, though sadly, it's not my favorite vice! Those of you who are big fans of the "Forever Greenery" suite will spot a couple of different pieces of the Designer Series Paper. I used Stampin'Blends alcohol markers to color the coffee cups, using Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Soft Seafoam and Old Olive. I know the sentiment is perfect for all coffee addicts!
Are you a chocolate lover? Do you pass on vanilla every chance you get and opt for chocolate, perhaps the darker the better. Then you like just like my husband! He has to have at least a tad every day! I had recently gotten the "Artistry Blooms" Designer Series Paper in an order and so I grabbed a sheet of that for my chocolate card. I love how cheery and bright it is! The predominant colors are Melon Mambo and Mango Melody.
Guess what?! For this card, I used the reverse side of the "Artistry Blooms" DSP and the same basic color scheme with a little bit more of Early Espresso added in. It's super fun to stamp directly on the DSP which is what I did here. Here's an extra tip - mount all the stamps on the same block, i.e. Coffee, Cookies, Chocolate, OR use the Stamparatus to mount them all and quickly stamp them. Using the Stamparatus gives you the "do over" option if you need it.
My personal favorite "go to" is probably cookies... all kinds! I inherited a really powerful sweet tooth from my mom and grandma and cookies were definitely their favorites. If I were to tell someone I loved them more than cookies, that would be a whole bunch of love. I toned down the color scheme here using Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. The plaid DSP is a sneak peek of an "all plaids" DSP pack coming in the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog! That goes live on August 4th, one week from today! Watch for more info in the coming days!
Finally, I had to try something for you cocktail lovers. I'm kinda a Diet Pepsi sort of gal and rarely drink anything stronger but I have to admit those umbrella drinks look pretty good! I used the Paper Pumpkin Add-On cards for my card base and then added in some elements of the "Timeless Tropical" bundle. This is a good example of searching through all your stash and combining products from different sets, catalogs and products!
I'm so excited about this class, I'm going to have a card class featuring this bundle! It may include some of these cards or something else I come up with in the meantime. The class is coming up on August 12th and I'll have an afternoon and evening session. Check my calendar (link on the right) for all the details! I would love to see you and make some fun cards with you!
