Coffee & Cards Storybook Moments Card No. 2

Hey Friend! Today, I’m sharing another fun card we created during Coffee & Cards, and this one was a lot of fun to put together. I pulled out my blends, did a little masking, and ended up with this sweet garden-inspired design. 

If you’ve never joined me for Coffee & Cards, I’d love for you to stop by! I go live every Tuesday at 10 AM Central on Facebook and YouTube—it’s the perfect mid-morning creative break. 

You’ll find the replay for this card linked at the end of this post.

Here’s a look at the finished card. I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and layered on a piece of Early Espresso cardstock for a nice, rich frame. Next, I added a layer of Perfectly Plaid Designer Series Paper, which gave the card a subtle touch of pattern and texture without taking away from the stamped images.

On top, I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the carrots, cabbage, and clay pots using Memento Black Ink. To get the overlapping look, I used the masking technique; such a fun and easy way to build a scene! Then I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends and added color: Pecan Pie for the clay pots, Blackberry Bliss for the cabbage, Timid Tiger for the carrots, and Old Olive for the leafy greens. The finishing touch was a hand-drawn border using the Stampin’ Journaling Pen.

For the sentiment, I turned to the Mixed Labels Bundle. I stamped “Your Kindness Made My Day!” in Early Espresso Ink and die-cut it with the banner shape from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Behind the sentiment, I tucked in a little Linen Thread for texture and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added a few Antique Pearls—because what’s a handmade card without a little shine?

This one makes me smile every time I look at it—it feels like a little peek into a garden on a sunny day. I hope this card inspires you to try some masking and coloring in your own projects.
