If you’re a coffee lover, you’re going to love the new Coffee Cafe Bundle! The bundle includes the Coffee Cafe stamp set and the Coffee Cups Framelits Dies. You can purchase these items separately but you save 10% with the bundle.
These two products are part of the Coffee Break Suite which also includes Designer Series Paper with a matching pack of cardstock and Corrugated Elements (corrugated paper in oval, tag and heart designs). I’ve included all of these products in the Stamping Supplies at the end of the post.
The stamp set, Coffee Cafe, comes in photopolymer and includes 16 stamps. The Coffee Cups Framelits Dies includes 13 dies. If this sounds like a set you’re considering, I’ve got a video from Stampin’ Up! for you! Just scroll down, click it and you’ll head over to the Stampin’ Up! YouTube channel (my blog is experiencing some quirks right now and videos won’t play which is why you’ll head over to YouTube).
Don’t forget that with the Bonus Days special, you’ll receive a $5.00 coupon for every $50 you spend, before shipping/tax. Right after you place your order, you’ll be emailed a code that you can then apply to an order in August!
Here’s the video! Enjoy!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend! It was extremely hot in my neck of the woods. Thank goodness for air conditioning!
Today’s card is one that I almost didn’t post. I made it about a month ago and several times I thought about sharing it and then changed my mind at the last minute. After completing it I wished I had blended the colors more so I put it away. But I’ve learned that just because I don’t care for something, it doesn’t mean that it won’t appeal to someone else!
I placed color down on Shimmery White cardstock using the Bermuda Bay and Old Olive Watercolor pencils and then went over it all with the Aqua Painter. I cut Happy Birthday out in Bermuda Bay, three times, and layered them on top of each other for dimension. I gave it a finishing touch with several sparkly rhinestones.
The Stampin’ Up! products I used to create my card are listed below for easy shopping. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Were you able to visit all of the blogs in the First Fridays Blog Hop yesterday? If not, click HERE to see all of the projects made with bundles in the catalog. Bundles always save you 10%!
Today’s card is another watercolor card made with Stampin’ Up! watercolor pencils (you can see the one I shared earlier in the week HERE). Although the technique is the same, no two cards will look exactly the same. That’s kind of fun, don’t you think?
The sentiment is from a new stamp set called Lots of Love. I love the nice bold words, especially on a beautiful watercolor background.
If you have any questions about today’s card, please don’t hesitate to ask! Have a terrific weekend!

I’m so glad you’re here today because it’s time for the First Fridays Blog Hop! This month we’re each featuring a bundle, two products bundled together for a savings of 10%, and we’ll each have two projects for you! The bundle I’m featuring is Happy Birthday Gorgeous. This bundle features the stamp set Happy Birthday Gorgeous along with the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies.
For quite some time now I’ve wanted Stampin’ Up! to carry a Happy Birthday Thinlit so I was pretty excited when these came out in the new catalog! They really are very fun to work with! To give the words lots of dimension (and because it’s pretty difficult to add dimensionals to the back) I layer them. Adding 2-5 layers really gives it great dimension (the first card has two layers).
The inspiration for this card came from one I saw on Laura Bassen’s blog. I did my own take on it using Stampin’ Up! products. Using my Big Shot and Layering Circles Framelits, I cut a circle in the middle of a piece of Whisper White. I wanted enough room on all sides of the circle so that when I sponged I wouldn’t get stray ink on my finished piece. Let’s just say that I learned this trick the hard way. The Stampin’ Up! colors I used were: Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise and Lemon Lime Twist. I simply moved my circle around and sponged color, overlapping colors as I went.
To finish the card I applied the layered Happy Birthday and some Iridescent Sequins. The inside of the card has the simple sentiment, Make a Wish, from the stamp set Happy Birthday Gorgeous!
My second card went in a completely different direction from what I had originally planned and the finished card happened quite by accident! Originally Happy Birthday was going to be layered onto a die cut in Whisper White but I wasn’t happy with the results. After I cut Happy Birthday out of our beautiful Foil Frenzy Speciality Designer Series Paper and layered it with four more in Crumb Cake, I set it down onto the card base and went, hmmmm, I think I like that!!
The sentiment “to you” is also from the set Happy Birthday Gorgeous as well as the one I used on the inside.
Our new mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were just PERFECT for the greeting on the Classic Label punch!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you’ll continue on the blog hop! Davette is up next!

If you love the look of watercoloring and beautiful vibrant color, this is the card for you. And the best part? It’s SUPER easy to create!
Using my Stampin’ Up! watercolor pencils, I scribbled Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay across my Shimmery White paper (don’t use Whisper White as it will pill when you apply water). Next, I applied water to each color using an Aqua Painter and I tried to blend the colors that were right next to each other. The colors come alive when you add water!
I used my Misti (a non Stampin’ Up! tool) to stamp my hell0 because I wanted to be able to get a nice dark impression with my Memento black ink. Both stamps (hello and friend) come from the stamp set Hello Friend which is a brand new stamp set! (In the next week I’ll be offering a To Go class using this set).
I finished it off with our Enamel Glitter Dots for a little bit of sparkle.
I hope you give this a try and if you do, I’d LOVE for you to email me your creation! Or ask to join my Facebook group and post it over there! I’d love for you to join even if you don’t have a card to share. Click here to join my Stamping with Tracy Facebook group!
