rainy days & a chalkboard psl

It's raining today and I love it! I love the clouds, the rain and that it is starting to feel like fall! Perfect day for a PSL! The truth is even though I am from the land of Starbucks, I don't drink coffee but I do appreciate pumpkin spice! Pumpkin spice tea, yes please! Or a PSL & chalkboard inspired card!

To create this card, start by die cutting the to-go cup and lid from a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 black panel. 

Rub white chalk over the panel.

Use a paper towel to burnish the chalk into the paper and rub away the excess.

Stamp a pumpkin and foliage around cup in white ink. 

Trace over stamped images in white ink. My favorite is the Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen. Then add sentiment.

Use your finger or a cotton swab to smudge the white ink.

Die cut to-go cup from kraft cardstock and lid from white. 

Stamp heart onto cup in white ink and let dry.

Stamp heart in orange over white heart. A MISTI makes it easy to line the stamps up perfectly.

Assemble card and ta-da!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a great Saturday too!

cupcakes are always a good idea!

Cupcakes are always a good idea, right?! I certainly think so and when I was playing with the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags, I kept seeing frosting. And so this little shaker card was created:

To create the card, die cut the to-go cup from stamping mask paper and place the negative piece on a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of smooth watercolor paper. Use another piece of stamping mask paper to make the "cupcake liner" smaller.

Use a Molotow masking pen to draw lines.

Let masking fluid dry and then use Distress Ink to watercolor over it and then remove masking paper. I used Distress Ink Cracked Pistachio.

While watercolor is drying, add a sentiment. The sprinkled sentiment from the Essentials by Ellen Warm Fuzzies set is perfection!

When watercolor is dry, remove masking with a clean white eraser or an adhesive pick-up square.

Die cut the "frosting" from above the "cupcake wrapper" and adhere confetti vellum to the back.

Then use foam adhesive to create a shaker pocket.

Fun right?!
