Hey, STAMPlorations friends! We have a special blog hop today that all you coffee (or tea!) loving crafters will enjoy.

I created a couple of cards using our newest Zen Coffee #2 Cover Plate Die. I'll admit, one of the main reasons I design cover plate dies like this one is they make for quick artsy monoprint one layer cards!

What amazing cards! The warm colors are perfect for summer and I love the definition of a coffeecianiado. According to USPS tracking, my Stamplorations order will arrive today. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun use of the cover plate! Turned out quite fabulous~
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the opportunity to play with your new cutplate die! I love the way it allows for so many possibilities and have so enjoyed all the inspiration. I love that you created these for the "stencil-lift" effect it provides on monoprinting and I hope to use it with my gel plates soon. :)
ReplyDeleteSHERY! Thank you so much for being such an awesome Super Sponsor. WE appreciate you very much. Fabulous new Cover Plate, we had so much fun with it. Your projects are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Shery!
ReplyDeleteoohh, such amazing colours, I love them!
ReplyDeleteHi, Shery! Love the cover plate die and your cards are amazing! Can't wait to see what the other designers have made for the hop!
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Shery! Love your cards! And love how you
ReplyDeleteused that gorgeous cover plate die.
Glorious and vibrant colours and such unique and amazing cards, both of them. The cover plate looks fabulous too x
ReplyDeleteLove the Zen cover - unique and beautiful! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDid you use the coverplate die
as a stencil or did you cut a piece
from white card stock? Either way-
awesome results!
Hi, Lucy! I cut a stencil out of white cardstock then placed that on my gel plate. I'll see if I can get a tutorial on using dies for monoprinting for Tuesday's spotlight project post :o)
Delete...thought I'd write a little note about that spotlight project post I promised. It's in the works! Had every intention of posting it on the 31st but my 7-month old had other ideas...she's teething and this mama hasn't really had a good block of time to sit down and do some artsy crafty stuff since Friday because she's been keeping me awake at nights (and I'm pretty exhausted!). So my apologies - I hope to have that post ready either on August 14 or 16 :o)
DeleteLove this card, Shery! I am assuming that you used the die to create a stencil and then used the mono print technique? If that's not correct, I think you are going to need an addendum to your post!! Great colors!
ReplyDeleteHi, Maura. Yes, you assumed correct. I'll work on a tutorial on using dies for monoprinting for next week's spotlight project post, as I have a few more ways to use cover plate dies for monoprinting.
DeleteThat is a cool cover plate and I love the cards you made with it. And, looks like some awesome stamps as well to choose from. I have to see what else the designers have made to inspire me now.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What a cool cover plate!! Your DT did a fabulous job using it!!
