Coffee Blend Turnabout

  

Today is the 22nd so this is the Double Duty Day!  This is the 49th month, so we are starting our 5th year! And, we have a new member for 2025--read more below!

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For January, we decided to use Concord & 9th, another of our favorite companies! They have great stamps, dies and stencils, along with inks and cardstock.  One unique item they developed are Turnabout stamps.  Use one large stamp and turn it 4 times in your Misti to make a sweet and colorful background.  

For this month, I picked a Turnabout stamp set called Coffee Blend.  The set comes with additional fun stamps that coordinate with the background, along with a set of matching dies.  I made two different backgrounds using two sets of 4 Taylored Expressions inks. 

For this card, the inks used were Raspberry Sorbet, Bubblegum, Huckleberry and Dragon Fruit.  I stamped the sentiment in Raspberry Sorbet and used a Gina Marie Stitched Circle die to cut it out I added a red heart cut from red metallic cardstock. I added a to-go coffee cup that was die cut and inked in Huckleberry.  No bling is needed as the background is very busy.

 

For the second card, the inks used were Blueberry, Candy Corn, Blue Raspberry and of course Latte!   I stamped the coffee mug in Blue Raspberry and Latte, then die cut the image.  I added some linen thread to the handle of the mug.  Again, no bling is needed.

               

These were fun cards to make!

I hope you enjoyed my cards for our group.  Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's, Darlene’s, Carol's  and our newest member Terry's blogs.   I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards. 

Next month we will highlight another favorite, Waffle Flower. So be sure to check out our cards on February 22nd!
