Look - it's 6 AM and I'm bringing you coffee! Happy Friday to all!
I have a fun video for you today on how to design cards with the new & improved Creative Corners. It had been a while since I used these tools, and the new high visibility design inspired me. I actually have two videos that will give you a refreshers on these.
The real genius of the triangle pieces is how they work with the rails of the MISTI to let you get perfectly consistent angles for stamps and stencils. If that sounds confusing, you'll see what I mean in the video.
But here's what I did. I placed the triangle piece against the rail on TOP of cardstock and this beautiful stencil. I used Caramel ink, which has a warm, latte feel, and ink blended the part that wasn't masked by the triangle. Then I used that same triangle and a magnetic L to bump out my cardstock for off edge stamping with this beautiful coffee bean border stamp. This stamp repeats in both directions, so I completed the corner by stamping it again vertically. I colored the beans with the fine tip of two Graphit Markers, and randomly highlighted them with a white gel pen. I think they look really realistic!
I stamped the coffee cup and attached beans and die cut them and colored them with OLO and Graphit markers. The sentiment is from the same set. The blue just pops on the caramel - I love that combo.
Here's the video for the card design.
Here's the video of the Creative Corners overview again:
