Jo’s Coffee-Themed Shaker Card Video

Hi guys! Jo is here today to share a super fun and clever design! She used a combination of our older and newer sets to create this awesome coffee-themed shaker card! You can watch the video below or CLICK HERE to watch it on our YouTube Channel!

To fit the coffee theme, Jo chose a brownish caramel tone for her card panels. I love how she used the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays stand-alone dies and the Dots Meet Dashes Small Rectangle Overlays stand-alone dies to create the backdrop and her shaker card window. For the shaker elements, she used coffee beans and chocolate chips which are absolutely perfect additions for this card!

She used the cute little couple from The Sweetest Truck stamp set as her main characters. I love that she used the bowls from the Hot Mama stamp set to mimic the coffee cups that the couple is holding in their hands. The stacks of coffee beans are from the There’s No One Like You stamp set.

To add more dynamics to her card, she combined the steamy swirls from There’s No One Like You stamp set and adhered them on top of the coffee cups! The punny sentiment, “You’ve bean the best friend” is the ideal finishing touch to her card!

Thank you so much Jo for inspiring us today with this coffee-themed friendship card!

Thanks for stopping by our blog, have a great weekend!

Throughout the week we will continue to feature the rest of our Spring Release with sample projects from our talented Creative Team, so be sure to stay with us! Don’t forget to play along on our GIVEAWAYs! If you’ve missed our INTRO, please continue to read all the way to the bottom for a chance to win some goodies ^.^ !

We’ll start off today by showcasing the new There’s No One Like You stamp set and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

This set is another collaboration with Laugh and Belly!  It is THE perfect set to let your loved ones know how important they are to you in a fun and playful way!  You can mix and match the cute emojis with the images to create the most heart warming cards!  

Now let’s take a look at our Team’s wonderful creations! First we have Ashley’s collection of 4 cards!

Ashley made four 3″ x 3″ mini cards, each with its own little sub-theme. I just love how the characters on each card have their own coordinating sentiment!

Look at those cute little faces! This set is super versatile as you can choose the different emojis to create your own images!

I’m positive that this card will make anyone smile!

Ashley used circle scalloped boarder cut to create a focal points for her nicely copic colored images. She then combined them with some colorful patterned paper underneath and voila, 4 mini cards with heartfelt messages!

Next we have Vera’s creation. I love how Vera created a photo-frame like structure for her card. The boarder detailing was created using our Dots Meet Dash Large Rectangles Overlay Stand-Alone die (which we will showcase later this week). I love the pink and grey color combination she blended for the background, so soft and beautiful!

Anja created for us a friendship card with the adorable cappuccino and froth images. She created her own patterned paper by stamping out the coffee bean image multiple times which is brilliant! The vellum sheet on top was a clever little addition to soften the look.

Davina made for us a pair of 4 bar sized note cards. For the first one she used the Cola related images as her main characters with the super fun sentiment, “You are the bubbles to my cola”! I love the polka-dotted background, the splash of white ink, and glimmery perfect perals which ties in with the ‘bubble’ theme.

For her second card, she used the pair of matcha beverages as her main image. Of course, this goes perfectly coordinated sentiment “We’re a matcha made in heaven”. So cute! These smaller notecards she chose are perfect for these relatively smaller images!

Up next we have the Never Give Up stamp set and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. This is the last collaboration set with Laugh and Belly in this release.

The idea of this set is mainly to spread positive vibes with encouraging messages! This is an adorable set with a bunch of kawaii elements.  These punny sentiments will brighten up someone’s day for sure!

Anja used Distress Oxide ink on the Vintage Basket stencil to create her background for this card.  I love the splatter of gold watercolor over on top.  She also used the boarder die, Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays Stand-Alone Die to create layering for this card.  I love the curry color cardstock she chose to coordinate with the sentiment!  

Next we have Jo’s shaker card. Oh I just love the spicy look of this! 🙂 Head over to our YouTube channel to see in detail how she created this card! The little sushi shaker pieces are the just the perfect match!

Ashley made a clean and simple card using some chevron patterned paper as her background. She neatly lined up nicely all the cute images across the table – hope they’re not being eaten! 😛 Hop over to our YouTube channel and see how she put this card together and give it a LIKE!

Davina’s card is so loveable. This looks like a family portrait! 😀 I love how she stacked the little salmon sushi on top of each other. She decorated the curtains on top with the accessory images from the set. The white gel pen details and the embellishments she added were great final touches. The boarder detail was also created from the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays.

A BIG Thank-You to our wonderful and talented Creative Team! Head over to their blogs for more details on these cards.
