My Birthstone is a Coffee Bean

I'm back with another card from the NEW Coffee Blanket set at Rubbernecker Stamps. I used the sentiment "My birthstone is a coffee bean", along with the single bean stamp and the cute little cup of steaming coffee to make my card, as well as the rounded square stitched die set.

My paper is from the Teen Stack by DCWV. The pearl string is from Kaisercraft. This set has so many stamps I think I can do another 2 or 3 cards without repeating any! That serious value for your dollar. There is also a coordinating die set that I haven't been able to get my hands on yet, but I'm looking forward to playing with that soon.

Tomorrow is the start of a brand new challenge, so make sure you stop by the challenge blog and check it out! The prizes for first and second place are a $25 and $15 gift certificate respectively.

But First Coffee...

Happy Monday! Today I have a new card for you made with a new set of clear stamps from Rubbernecker Stamps. This is a sneak peek because they aren't in store yet. They should be in stock by the end of the month, so make sure you check in regularly so I can tell you when they are released. My next couple of cards are going to be made with this set. There are a total of ELEVEN stamps, so you can make a few cards with this one set. I also used the nested circle dies. I LOVE the die sets from Rubbernecker.

My DP is from the Moroccan Designer Series collection at Stampin' Up. I layered the nested circle dies from Rubbernecker, and used some coordinating washi tape from SU to adhere the coffee cup stamp to the card. I also used Emerald Envy ink from SU for stamping.

Tomorrow is the start of a brand new challenge, so make sure you stop by the challenge blog and check it out! The prizes for first and second place are a $25 and $15 gift certificate respectively.

Bingo Challenge at Aurora Wings

We are halfway through our Bingo challenge at the Aurora Wings challenge blog, and it is Team Stella's turn to bring you some inspiration. First, here is the Bingo challenge board:

I went diagonally down from Sentiment to Ribbons or Bow. I used Shamrock Sprite for my card. Since we are closing in on St. Patrick's Day and I'm part Irish, what better image to use!

I coloured the image with Copics, using YG's and Y's. The die cuts are from Rubbernecker Stamps. You can find them HERE. It is a nested die set and there are eight die cuts in the set. The ribbon I bought at Michaels. It was a real trial in patience, folding it like that over and over again, and gluing each fold down. The sentiment is from Verve Stamps.

Our prizes this challenge will include:

1(one) Artist's Choice Winner to be chosen by Mitzi from all entries using an Aurora Wings image (Custom badge+3 single digital images)
