3 Cards 1 Kit with White Rose Crafts LLC


Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a long post for 3 cards.


However, these cards came together rather quickly because I used the cut a part sheet from the Echo Park Coffee Collection that is part of the Barista Blend Kit. Now, This kit is sold out - but, Kay does have the Echo Park Coffee Collection 6 x 6 Pad available in the shop.

Card # 1 - Today's Plan? Dink Coffee & Be Awesome! - quick and easy.

I gathered the supplies - I trimmed my card front panels. Coffee for the base and Cream for the top layer. Next, I trimmed the pattern coffee paper so I had the corners of the paper. I trimmed a layer of kraft cardstock to mat the pattern paper. I die cut pink cardstock for a mat for the sentiment which is one of the cut a parts. Along with some embellishments.
Then, I adhered the Cream layer to the Coffee panel, Next, I adhered the pattern paper to the kraft mats. Then, I adhered the pattern paper layer to the card front panel.
Next, I adhered the sentiment to the pink cardstock. Then, onto the card front panel. Finally, I added a few embellishments. A small coffee cup paper clip and a few of the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blends: Caffeinated. I adhere my card front panel to my card base.

Now, the card is complete!

Card # 2 - Coffee - a few more layers.

I gathered the supplies - I trimmed my card front panels. Coffee for the base and Tan for the top layer. Next, I die cut a circle from the floral pattern paper.  I trimmed a strip of the pink X pattern paper. I cut a rectangle piece of medium brown cardstock to mat the sentiment which is one of the cut a parts.
 Along with some embellishments.

Then, I adhered the Tan layer to the Coffee panel.
 Next, I adhered the floral pattern paper circle to the card front panel. 

Then, I trimmed the washi tape in half and placed onto the card front panel.
** Tip: I stick my washi tape onto the backing that you remove from tape or foam squares
 so I can trim it or punch shapes from it.  

Next, I place the washi tape onto the card front panel about the distance of my pattern paper strip. I then adhered my pattern paper strip. Then. I adhered the sentiment onto brown cardstock and popped it up on foam square for dimension.

Then, I added a few embellishments to the card front panel. I used one of the pink Mulberry Hearts from the kit and a few sequins for the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blends: Caffeinated. I added a bit of low profile foam adhesive to the Mulberry Heart.
I adhered the card front panel to my card base and my card is complete!

Card # 3 -  You're As Sweet as CowfeAu Lait.  The most layers and steps.
I gathered the supplies - I trimmed my card front panels. Black cards stock for the base and Tan for the top layer. Next, I die cut a circle from the Mulberry paper and a Flower shape from the pink paper.  I trimmed strips of the pink & red check pattern paper, the Floral pattern paper and the black and white coffee cup pattern paper. I die cut the Floral pattern paper with a border Scalloped die. 
I trimmed a rectangle piece of black cardstock to mat the coffee bean pattern paper & the sentiment.
I stamped the image and the sentiment. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils. I then trimmed my image into a circle.
 Along with some embellishments.
Then, I adhered the Tan layer to the black panel.
 Next, I adhered the strips pattern papers to the card front panel. Slightly overlapping them.


Then, I matted the coffee bean pattern paper onto the black cardstock and adhered it onto the card front panel.

Next, I inked the edge of the image circle with a bit of Distress Oxide ink: Vintage Photo.

Then, I adhered the flower die cut shape onto the card front panel and then the mulberry paper circle. Next, I added a bit of foam tape to the back of the cow image and placed it just to the right of the mulberry paper.
 

Next, I Trimmed the Mulberry Heart a bit because I felt they were too large for the space. I went old school here and just folded the hearts in half then cut a heart shape.
 

 

I will save the outer heart section for another project.

Then, I adhered the hearts on top of one another. Using a bit of foam adhesive on the top one. I added a sequin from the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blends: Caffeinated mix. 
  

Finally, I added the sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and fishtailed the end. Popped it up with some foam tape and added it onto the card front panel. I adhered the card front panel onto the card base and my card is complete!

Father's Day Boat Gift Box with Rinea

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a cute gift box for Father's day!

Now, this cute Fishing Boat gift box is perfect for any fishing loving member of your family or circle of friends.




I used the Fishing Boat Box SVG from Simply Crafty SVG. This file comes with a PDF with simple and clear instructions & SVGs. Sandy has provided the live preserver, Oars, Starfishes and the catch of the day!

Using the Starstruck Ruby Red, Starstruck Silver & Starstruck Sapphire Foil paper for the outer parts of the boat & oars.

Materials Used
Hero Arts Stamp Celebrate - for the sentiment
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Recollections Brand Cardstock: Black, White & Green
Aleene's Tacky Glue

Let's get started!

I followed the instruction provided by Simply Crafty SVG to create the box.

I cut out all the pieces to the box from the black cardstock. The outer panels of the boat, the fish scales, the starfish, the red portion of the life preserver and the outer part of the oars I . cut from the Foil paper.

Next, I start by assembling the box. Following the instruction provided by Simply Crafty SVG. You will notice that we will have tabs on the outside of the box. We will cover those in a bit.



Then, I adhered the Starstruck Silver bench planks to the seat. Next, I glue the seat into place.

Then, I adhered the front Starstruck Silver panel to the front of the boat. Next, I adhered the Starstruck Silver panel to the bottom of the boat box. This will hide all the tabs we used to create the box.



Next, I adhered the side panels to the boat - I cut 4 from Starstruck Silver and 2 from Starstruck Sapphire for a total of 6. I glued them on with the Starstruck Sapphire in the center.
  
Then, I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock. Trimmed it and adhered it to Starstruck Ruby Red foil paper. Next, I adhered the sentiment onto the Starstruck Silver foil paper - back of the boat panel.

Then, I adhered Starstruck Sapphire oars panel to the black cardstock panels.


Now, we can start decorating the boat. I used green cardstock for the fish base and Starstruck Jade foil paper for the scales, for the Life Preserver I used white cardstock for the base and Starstruck Ruby Red for the red portions and for the starfishes I used Starstruck Marigold and Starstruck Gold foil paper. 


For the fish - first I adhered the layers. Then, I adhered the fish together. Next, I made a small hole for my cord to go through. I tied a knot at the end of the cord and strung the fish onto it. Then, I adhered the fish to the boat. Next, I adhered the cord to the inside of the boat.


Now, the Life Preserver - I adhered the layers. Then, I made a fisherman's Reef knot (this is not necessary you can just tie your life preserver on how you would like) I cut 2 pieces of the cord the same length. 

I then bend the cord pieces to create 2 U shapes.



I stack them on top of one another. I hold one of the U shaped cord by the open end. Then, I slip one leg of the other U shaped cord through the center of the loop end of the one I am holding. Repeat with the other leg. (I hope this makes sense) Then, I pull on the cord on both ends until tight. 





Next, I add a bit of glue to the life preserver and adhered the knot to the preserver. Then, I pull up the cord through the center of the preserver and glue the cord to the back. I then adhered the preserver to the boat.


Starfish - I adhered the Starstruck Marigold to the side of the boat on the other side. I did the same with the Starstruck Gold starfish - I place them toward the back. This way both sides of the boat are decorated. 
 

Now, the Father's Day boat box is complete. I am filling this box with some lures.


Thank you so very much for stopping by the blog today I hope you found some inspiration!
