I Brake for Coffee!

 Hello from design team member Heidi!  I have been feeling very low energy lately, so I decided to make a card with one of my favorite, most energizing themes.  Coffee!

I started with a background created with Colorburst powders.  This background is really pretty in person.  It is gloomy today so my camera just didn’t capture the depth of the colors.  I stamped over the background with dark brown Versafine ink with the coffee cup image.  

The focal image is one of my favorite stamps.  It just makes me laugh.  This was stamped on a kraft cardstock with brown ink, and then I sponged color around the edge of my oval die.  

These stamps are part of Coffee Rubber Sheet.

Thanks for visiting and keep on stamping!

I Brake for Retro Coffee!

Hello, design team member, Heidi, back again today with another card using the fantastic, Coffee Rubber sheet set.

These images are fun and retro, so I paired then with primary colors, kraft paper, and polka dots.  I did add a touch of red glitter glue to the heart on the sentiment, just to jazz it up. I plan to send a little Starbucks gift certificate to a teacher inside this card.  It is Teacher Appreciation Week!  

Thanks for visiting today!  Hope you have time to get out your stamps today!

I Brake for Coffee

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  I would like to share a fun coffee card with you!  I love coffee and I Brake for Stamps has some great coffee related stamps!

I stamped with green Versafine ink on kraft paper.  I colored the cup with alcohol markers and die cut out the panel.  After choosing this fun, slightly retro, floral printed paper, I went back to the stamp set for an accent. I thought that the coffee tree looked kind of the shape of a bouquet.  

I colored on that stamp with different markers, to represent both ripe and unripe coffee beans, spritzed with water and stamped.  I trimmed this out and added a bow.

This stamp set called Coffee Rubber Sheet is available in the I Brake for Stamps store.



Thanks for visiting today!  Come again soon!

I brake for Coffee Breaks ...

Hello I Brake for Stamps fans !!

It's Crystal here and today I made a card using  the half sheet set called Coffee Rubber Sheet , I love the retro feel of this set . I kept this card simple and fun .

I used my Silhouette to cut the top layer the cut is called Tea Stain Stencil , then I added brown ink splatters , the Coffee Break image was heat embossed with Black Glitter finish powder , I sponged the edges of my circle , I copic colored very little 

inside my card I used the new Tim Holtz stencil called Splatters and used walnut ink and sponged on the stains , I distress my layer and rolled back a corner , I stamped the retro lady in espresso ink and gave her a retro look by only coloring the cheeks and adding red lips to her and I colored her cup , the text paper under the corner is from an old book I use for cards like this , that's it for today's card , I hope you liked this card it was fun to create and I left it blank to use it for an occasion.

Thanks for stopping in ,I hope this card has inspired you to get inky with some rubber stamps today , for this image and so many more visit the IBFS store  .
