On June 9th I shared a card that I had made with the Coffee With Friends & Layering Leaves Stamp Sets. It was wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to share how to turn one of the leaves images into coffee beans, but I wasn’t at the top of my game since at that time I was still recovering from COVID.
I don’t dislike the card, or I wouldn’t have shared it. In fact I received quite a few compliments (thank you). But it was a little more earthy and masculine than I wanted it to be. So soon after I created a brighter version of the coffee beans card – one that was more in line with what I had wanted to show you on June 9th.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card which features a few fun techniques (heat embossing, watercoloring, punch art, using Daubers and Blends Markers,…). And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
