"Falling For A Latte" by Bobbi Lemanski

Hello, crafty friends! Today I'm sharing this 5" X 7" card featuring many new products from the "Hello Harvest" release. I mixed a few sets together for this greeting card and I love it "a latte!" I'm using the following Honey Bee Stamps products: 

Lovely Layers: Window Fall Add-On Honey Cuts dies

Life's Sweet Moments 6 X 8 stamp set and coordinating Honey Cuts dies

Swirl & Flourish 6X9 Stencil

You Had Me At Coffee stamps and coordinating dies

Lovely Layers: Boho Leaves Honey Cuts dies

Man Cave pattern paper pack

For the basics... my Honey Bee Stamps featured project below is made from Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for the card base and card front panel. All of the black ink stamping was done using Honey Bee’s Bee Creative Intense Black Ink. I use Honey Bee Stamps Bee Creative Precision Glue and for when I want more dimension, Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab for adhering my elements together. My blender brushes (large and small) are a must for ink blending color on the background, too. For white highlights, I use my white Gelly Roll pen. My card is 5" X 7" in size.

To make this 5" X 7" card, I die duct this fabulous, large branch, squirrel, leaves, nest, and bird from brown and white cardstock using the Lovely Layers: Window Fall Add-On Honey Cuts dies. I added color to the leaves using Distress Oxide Ink in Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon and Rusty Hinge. I used Copic Markers to add color to the bird and squirrel. I also added specks of white using my white Gelly Roll pen to some leaves, the nest, etc. 

I stamped, die cut and blended color on the coffee mug using the Life's Sweet Moments 6 X 8 stamp set and coordinating Honey Cuts dies. I used Fossilized Amber and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Ink. I also splattered white paint and dark brown watercolor paint over the mug. For the whip cream on top, I added Copic color YR31 to the stamped cream. I also added Marvy Liquid Applique (similar to Marvy Snow Puff Liquid) on the cream to give it the textural dimension. Note: This card should be hand-delivered v. ran through postal machines due to the dimensional puff liquid. 

For the background, I stenciled the card front using the Swirl & Flourish 6X9 Stencil using Distress Oxide Ink in Antique Linen and Peacock Feathers and my blender brushes (large and small) I used a light touch to keep the colors soft and unsaturated. I added a brown bar/table to the bottom using a paper from the Man Cave pattern paper pack. I attached a top strip of wood for a counter/ledge to rest the drink on. I added an  ivory "doily" to the ledge using a Lovely Layers: Boho Leaves Honey Cuts die. I cut one side to be straight and attached it across the top of the ledge 

I attached all the elements to the background. I used foam tabs for the mug to make it stand out. I attached a leaf to the whip cream for a little cuteness. I stamped and die cut the sentiments using the You Had Me At Coffee stamps and coordinating dies. I attached the sentiments at the top and bottom to complete the card front. The front panel was attached to a white A7 card base made from white cardstock.
