Hi everyone! Today on my blog I want to share that I was asked to be a guest designer for Emerald Creek. I’m super excited that I was able to use and showcase some stamps from my good friend Pam Bray who designs for Emerald Creek. I used Pam’s Coffee Sign Board Stamp, Coffee Sentiments Stamps, The Blend Stamps and Unwind Stamps to create an extra large tag. Anyways, let’s get started!
I measured and cut a piece of patterned cardstock 5″x10″ for the tag base. For the second tag I used the largest Tag Diecut and cut a tag from the same patterned cardstock but used the back side of it. I embossed a piece of Cream Cardstock with the Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and lightly inked with a grayish chalk ink. I placed the Coffee Sign Board Stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with a waterproof Black Ink, stamped onto White Cardstock and added a wash of brown watercolors to the image.
I stamped the coffee beans jar and a few coffee rings from The Blend Stamps, coffee beans and mug from the Unwind Stamps and the “Sending You a Whole Latta of Love!” sentiment from the Coffee Sentiments Stamps. I used an assortment of watercolors to fill in the images and once dry I fussy cut and distressed .
I roughed up the edges of the embossed image and glued to the base of the larger tag. I cut up the Coffee Sign Board Stamp and distressed. I adhered a piece of that stamped image along with a coffee ring from The Blend Stamps onto the base of the tag. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the smaller tag before placing slightly off one side of the larger tag.
Next I glued the coffee bean jar, mug, the cut a part pieces from the coffee broad sign, coffee rings and coffee beans in various spots on the tag.
I placed a mat around the sentiment, added foam pop dots before placing in the upper corner of the smaller tag.
I cut out several flowers and leaves from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and the Floral Silhouettes Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com), shaped with a Stylus and put together before adding to the tag.
I made bows from cording and added to the flowers to finish off the tag.
