Happy Release Day! I am so excited to be part of today’s Colorado Craft Company May Release. This release is full of Anita Jeram whimsical characters. Anita is an accomplished children’s book author and illustrator:
“Having sold over 47 million copies worldwide, she has truly captured the hearts of children and adults alike. Now, together with 3C, we bring you stamps, dies, papers, and stencils that are sure to help you create handmade cards that are fun, kind, and whimsical.”
I made three cards, featuring the new Coffee House stamp set. I kept these cards clean and simple, using my Copic Markers to color them.
Stamping the images with Chocolate ink really helps keep the lines soft, almost giving the images a “vintage Feel”. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne ink to stamp the sentiments.
I love this little guy, juggling a handful of coffee beans. Living in the Pacific Northwest, coffee is such an important part of our lives. This stamp set spoke immediately to my heart.
Now that our communities are re-opening, these sentiments are right on time! I now have the perfect card to send out to my favorite coffee date! (Yes Jane, I’m talking about you!)
You can find all of the details, plus color combinations, in this VIDEO:
Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Daniel West.
I will Be back on Monday with more inspiration, and tips, so be sure to stop back by! Now, as Anita would say, go “create something delightful today!”

I like them all. The two working together to work the French press is really cute. And, the little one jumping up & down.
Wonderful CAS cards to showcase this beautiful set from the new release ! Love how you keep them very simple, just stamping and colouring. And what a great idea the matching enveloppes !
Love your cards. I love these stamps. I can’t decide if the Coffee House or Home Sweet Home is my favorite.
Thanks
Ang
Loving the coffee set! Love your takes on them!
I love the simplicity of your cards. They really make the images the star of the show! Love the brown ink too!
Hi, I love your CAS cards. I also think your tone-on-tone envelopes look great! I would be interested in a video like the one you described for learning how to color wrinkles, etc. Please reduce the # of speed bumps for me, LOL! (Love your terminology!).
Your cards are terrific!
Lori S in PA
Lol! Thanks, Lori❤️
Such darling images. Love them ❤
This video was so wonderful. I learned a lot from the coloring instruction, and YES, I would love to see a video on how to shade pleats and “v lines”. (I think that is what you called it.) I love these cards with the CAS design and beautiful coloring.
Adorable cards! Love the coffee stamp set…
Thanks for sharing.
Super cute! I always reach for black ink to stamp but your choice is perfect. I need to remember that.
This is cute as can be! The coffee theme with the busy mice is so clever! That said, my favorite set is the big dogs and their funny antics.
I think these little coffee rats are adorable. You’ve given them such personality.
Love the clean and simple look of your cards.
