The Rabbit Hole Designs Caffeinated Turkey

Today, I had a chance to play with The Rabbit Hold Designs Caffeinated Turkey Stamp and Die.
These characters in their Caffeinated line are hilarious and I'd recommend checking them out even if you just need a chuckle.

I also used an Altenew stamp I purchased from Scrapping for Less and really loved adding it to my stamp stash because who doesn't need a coffee ring in their collection? Matte embossing powder also makes an appearance on this card and adds so much to those coffee rings.

Currently the Coffee Lover's Hop is going on, tomorrow is the last day 11/8/2019. There will be plenty of chances next time because these have been going on for a few years I guess. How cool, right? Coffee, Tea, Cocoa, Cider and cards... perfect combo for sure.

All items were purchased with my own funds. This video / blog is not sponsored.

Confused about why I named it all Delaney Jane Cards if my name is Renee’?
This entire thing, shop, YouTube channel, blog, etc, it is all named after our angel daughter who passed away in 2013. I made her some promises when she passed away. I would spread joy, I would make her proud and I would speak her name daily. This is one way we choose to honor her memory, and help me keep my promises.

Life begins after coffee

I went into the craft room today to make a birthday card for a young man, a 30 year old man and this isn't a card for a young man. Sometimes creativity just takes over and decides what is going to be made and today that is exactly what happened.

I pulled out some of my older stamps. The coffee set is a Clearly Besotted set I've had at least 5 years. The bird is a stamp I've had even longer. A friend of mine and I went to a rubber stamp show about 7 or 8 years ago and we each purchased a grab bag of unmounted rubber stamps from Victorine Originals. I think they have merged with Raisin Boat stamps and is now SumMore Fun stamps.

The papers in this card are from Pink and Main and came from their new release. The papers just spoke to me.

I stamped the mugs in Pink and Main inks, street light and stop sign. And I die cut them with the coordinating die.

I hand cut the edge of a piece of kraft cardstock and then ink blended distress oxide frayed burlap ink on cardstock without reinking my foam, I just used the ink remaining from the last time I used that foam. I added some white pen dot detail as well as some gold dot detail with my gel pens for a little bit of interest. Then I used a versamark pen and heat embossed the edge with WOW white puff embossing powder.

I used asphalt ink by Pink and Main for the coffee steam and the birds but I used second generation stamping to get a much lighter image. I thought it made the birds look like they were far in the distance.

I placed the cups on the weathered wood "table" and stamped the sentiment in the same Pink and Main Asphalt ink but first generation so it was very bold. I didn't want to introduce black on this card because I thought it would be too bold.

I used two Copic markers to fill the cups with coffee, E57 & E59 because you have to have coffee in the cups...

I love this scene and wish I could find this beach. I'd love to sit and watch the waves crash on the shore while drinking out of one of these adorable mugs.

How to make me Happy:

I've had this Simon Says Stamp set for a while now called Choose Happy and I'd yet to ink any of the stamps up. Once I got this True Stories paper pad by American Crafts in the mail I knew I had to make a coffee themed card and I had to do it right away!

 It really came together pretty quickly once I decided on a sketch to work off of for the card. I made the sketch my own instead of following it directly, but I loved the results.

Using the MFT Pierced Rectangle dies, I die cut two pieces patterned paper panels and then with a smaller Pierced Rectangle I die cut a white panel from some MFT Smooth White Cardstock.

The largest patterned paper was cut using the MFT Blueprints 2 Large Rectangle die.

After my papers were cut this card came together in a matter of minutes.

I stamped the focal panel with this adorable sentiment and coffee cup image, quick colored the cup and heart and coffee with some Copic markers (W00, R24, E57), added a little glossy accents and a few Stampin' Up enamel dots to finish the card front.

I attached it to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" MFT Blueberry Cardstock panel and attached to an A2 top fold card base.

I stamped one more sentiment on the inside with the same coffee cup image. I used the same three Copic markers to color it quickly and the card was complete.
