Coffee Lover's Summer Blog Hop + Giveaway
Hello and Happy Summer! To kick off the summer, I'm sharing a coffee themed shaker card I created using the brand new Cuppa Cactus stamp and die set from Newton's Nook Designs.
I always love a good coffee themed card and combing coffee and cacti with a shaker card seems like a perfect combination to me! Wouldn't you agree?
I stamped the adorable cactus onto watercolor and then colored the image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. To create the shaker, I die cut the rectangle stitched frame 5 times from white cardstock and then glued the layers together using Therm O Web Mixed Media Liquid Adhesive. The shaker is filled with a mix of sequins and seed beads. You can find a detailed supply list at the bottom of this post.
