Tuesday with Tara {take 427} This calls for coffee

Happy Tuesday!  It seems like all of North America is facing a cold spell right now… this calls for COFFEE!  Today I’m sharing a fun monochromatic card I made for a coffee loving friend’s birthday.

I had fun digging through my supplies (and the scraps on my desk!) for blue pieces I could use for this card.  My coffee cup is from the fabulous Papercut Cafe die set by Tim Holtz.  I cut it from a scrap of Knit Picky Winter Patterned Paper by Lawn Fawn (also used on the middle layer on this card!) along with some other blue scraps, including a fun glittery piece.  I paired it with a white embossed sentiment by  Catherine Pooler.

The background of the front panel features the honeycomb from one of Tim Holtz’s mini stencil sets and some sparkle texture paste.  The bottom layer is from Vicki Boutin’s 6×8 Ready to Use Mixed Media paper.  The stitched layers were cut with the Prism Nesting Stitched Rectangles, which rarely leave my desk these days!  I finished it all off with some blue crinkle ribbon, inked up with a whole lot of Prize Ribbon Distress Ink (seriously, I think my ink pad got double inked so I tried to use some of it up on ribbon!).
I love all the fun textures in this card that I got from using a variety of materials and patterns, all working together because of the simple color palette.  Hope you like it too!
Inky hugs,
Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 423} Coffee for Christmas

Happy Tuesday!  It’s that time of year when I realize I have way more ideas for Christmas cards than I have time to make them… I should probably try to be one of those people who makes them all year for next years cards, then they might actually get sent out to people 🙂 I was finishing up some in progress cards and thinking about what I should post when I realized that this is my LAST Tuesday post before Christmas- yikes!   So, I’ve decided to share one I had ready to go and save more for Instagram shares this week.  Knowing me I’ll still be making them this weekend and will just have posts ready to go for next year!

This card came about when I was playing with shades of blue and found this big Lawn Fawn Merry Christmas I bought last year and didn’t get around to using… doesn’t it look fabulous cut from aquamarine glitter!?  I’ve got a variety of blues happening here, but the Lawn Fawn Knit Picky paper is a fun addition too.  I wanted to take some drinks from Catherine Pooler’s Fall Calls for Latte’s stamp set and winterize them- so inking this one in blues & adding a little snowflake to it seems to have done the trick.  I added a few more tiny snowflakes & pearls from this fun set of Sprinkletz, which was meant for shaker cards (& I will probably keep using well into January!)

Final touches are some small die cut snowflakes and sheer ribbon from my stash, plus a little sentiment from MFT that I believe is discontinued.  I think there’s some definite winter vibes happening here in this simple, whimsical card!  Hope you like it!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!

I’ve been having fun creating backgrounds with the new Holiday Knit Texture Fade by Tim Holtz.  I inked the front of the embossing folder with some Distress Oxide Ink (for this card I’ve used Rustic Wilderness) and didn’t do much else besides add a bit of ink to the edges!  I embossed a panel I had pre-cut to give me an even border around the card front.

For this card, I paired my background with some greenery from the Festive Gatherings die set and added touches of glitter & gold.  I’ve once again used a foiled sentiment using the new Stick & Shine Xmas Classics sentiments & Metallic foil by Penny Black!  I think I’ll be using these on quite a few of my cards this year (yes, I’m one of those people who is still making them…). Don’t you love the shimmering touches and the texture on the background?  I’ve also used one of the Nesting Stitched Circle dies by Prism Studio- there’s so many sizes they are perfect for almost everything, and the stitched edge gives a nice nod to the sweater pattern!

For a bit of contrast I tied my greenery with a small bit of red jute string.  It’s a nice finishing touch, I think!

Inky hugs,

Tara
