For card number one I started by stamping the image of the to-go coffee cup with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. I stamped the image twice because I wanted a sweet couple on my card front. For the coloring I used Nuvo markers from the Marina Blues, Apricot Ombre and Pebble Beach sets. Once I was done coloring, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.
I then selected three different designs from the Sugar & Spice Patterned Paper Collection, with colors that matched the ones of my images. I used dies from the Card Front Element Builder, the Heart Journal Card, and the Zig-Zag Stitched Circles set to die cut each of them.
For the sentiment I did some heat embossing with black embossing powder on some vellum, and then I adhered all the elements to a top folding A2 card base.
For card number two I repeated the same basic steps, but changed things a little.
I used the mug from the same Mugs and Kisses stamp set I had used on my first card, stamped it twice with Memento Tuxedo Black in on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock, and colored it with Nuvo markers. This time I used the Aquamarine, Rosy Pinks and Pebble Beach sets, and changed the palette from blues and oranges to teals and pinks.
I again chose three different papers from the Sugar & Spice Patterned Paper Collection that matched the colors I had used for my images, and die cut them with the same three dies I had used before.
I then embossed a different sentiment with black embossing powder on a strip of vellum.
In order to mix things up a little, I switched the placement of my die cut panels on the card front, and adhered everything on a top-folding A2 card base.
And these are my cards for today! I had a lot of fun trying to come up with different cards starting from the same supplies, and I think this is a nice solution for when you need multiple cards in a short amount of time, but you still want each of them to be a unique piece.
