I stamped my happy little coffee mug onto some white cardstock and then again on a piece of patterned paper. On the white cardstock, I colored the mouth, handle, and coffee parts, then cut them out. I adhered them to the stamped image on the patterned paper and then cut that out as well. I layered up my papers and die-cuts, adhered them to the card then, I stamped out my sentiment and trimmed the cardstock into a banner shape. I think it turned out pretty cute, how about you?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qWLtk8ZPtxM/U5MuuX9wfTI/AAAAAAAAFEA/AbgO8fHILYA/s1600/mkstarner_CT_SOG_swapcard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qWLtk8ZPtxM/U5MuuX9wfTI/AAAAAAAAFEA/AbgO8fHILYA/s1600/mkstarner_CT_SOG_swapcard.JPG" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">From here, you're heading over to visit the<a href="http://blog.chictags.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html"> Chic Tags blog</a>!<br />Be sure to comment on ALL posts, and you'll be eligible to win!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>In case you get lost along the way, here is your full hop list:</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.someoddgirlblog.com/2014/06/chic-totally-odd-hop/" target="_blank" title="Some Odd Girl blog hop post with Chic Tags"><strong>Some Odd Girl blog</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.maryannjenkins.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Mary Ann's hop post"><strong>Mary Ann Jenkins</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://siehledwithakiss.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Mary Pat's hop post"><strong>Mary Pat Siehl</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://livethemoment-jen.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Jennifer's hop post"><strong>Jennifer Haggerty</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.theoddgirl.com/2014/06/chic-tags-and-some-odd-girl-hop/" target="_blank" title="Kristy's hop post"><strong>Kristy Dalman</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amycoose.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-blog-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Amy Coose's blog"><strong>Amy Coose</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://8ers.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Melissa's hop post"><strong>Melissa Oeters</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://livealifeextraordinary.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Suz's hop post"><strong>Suz Mannecke</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://angieboutiller.blogspot.com/2014/05/chic-tags-and-some-odd-girl.html" target="_blank" title="Angie's hop post"><strong>Angie Boutiller</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.heyheymandykay.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Mandy Kay's hop post"><strong>Mandy Kay Starner</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://blog.chictags.com/2014/06/a-very-chic-and-totally-odd-hop.html" target="_blank" title="Chic Tags' hop post">Chic Tags blog</a></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you SO MUCH to <a href="http://someoddgirl.com/" target="_blank" title="Some Odd Girl Stamps"><strong>Some Odd Girl</strong></a> for partnering up with us for this fun event, and to all of you joining us, happy hopping!</div><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17870536212607683828noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071112541053550908.post-60229876000521102182014-06-24T14:54:00.000-04:002014-06-24T14:54:35.905-04:00In the navy with Paper Issues!<div style="text-align: center;">Paper Issues has a new issue posted and its called <a href="http://www.paperissues.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-issue-in-navy.html">In the Navy</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">There is a great prize to be won and almost 60 link-ups so far! </div><div style="text-align: center;">So stop over and check out what's happening over at <a href="http://www.paperissues.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-issue-in-navy.html">Paper Issues</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bdl8h5fbRrU/U6nHa8eEh6I/AAAAAAAAFGY/9EW9jpRkS_c/s1600/IMG_0953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bdl8h5fbRrU/U6nHa8eEh6I/AAAAAAAAFGY/9EW9jpRkS_c/s1600/IMG_0953.JPG" height="640" width="470" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">For my card, I cut a mask(the scattered dots), the anchor and the sentiment, all with my Cameo. I laied the mask out over my card front and inked it with a navy blue ink pad. I had cut the anchor out of white cardstock, along with the sentiment, but it needed some inking to make it look like metal. So, I started with a grey ink, went over it with a darker shade, then gave it a light pass with a metallic gold ink pad to give it that worn metal look. I topped the whole thing off with a bit of thicker twine, tied to the top of the anchor and then twisted randomly about the card. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to link us up to your projects at Paper Issues!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a great day!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I created a couple cards for the different things going on throughout the week I will have to share those with you another day. Yesterday, my friends at<a href="http://www.paperissues.blogspot.com/2014/05/thank-you-3d-coffee-cup.html"> Paper Issues</a> posted a photo of my coffee cup card and that sparked a few requests/questions. So, I am here to hopefully answer some of those for you. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To start, I found this <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=56927">3D Coffee Cup with Lid cut file by Jamie Cripps</a> in the Silhouette Store. She has a fantastic tutorial posted<a href="http://www.jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/03/3d-paper-coffee-mugs.html"> HERE</a> to help you put your cup together. I will go through the steps with you here as well, but just in case I missed a step while taking photos or my directions aren't so clear, you can check out <a href="http://www.jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/03/3d-paper-coffee-mugs.html">her tutorial</a>. </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">When you open the file its a very big file and it looks like this...</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RvyIPNZC90U/U2rlqM0vMzI/AAAAAAAAE8Y/Y7aAMerF8W0/s1600/2+3d+coffee+cup+is+a+large+file.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RvyIPNZC90U/U2rlqM0vMzI/AAAAAAAAE8Y/Y7aAMerF8W0/s1600/2+3d+coffee+cup+is+a+large+file.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">So you'll have the drag the file over to the right and down a bit so that it looks like the photo below, and send it to the Silhouette to cut. Don't worry, it will only cut the shapes that are pictured above the mat on your screen. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L49nrMq9sMI/U2rlqP-nXZI/AAAAAAAAE8g/PpBdhmFm5DQ/s1600/3+drag+whole+file+to+the+right+so+only+the+cup+walls+and+bottom+are+on+the+mat.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L49nrMq9sMI/U2rlqP-nXZI/AAAAAAAAE8g/PpBdhmFm5DQ/s1600/3+drag+whole+file+to+the+right+so+only+the+cup+walls+and+bottom+are+on+the+mat.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Then, you'll want to move your file over to the left far enough that the next set of cuts are over the mat. But before you cut... if you are interested in making "coffee" to go inside your cup like I did, you will want to copy and paste the long tabbed strip to the bottom of your mat like so... </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aJyLXJXe1O8/U2rlqosKG5I/AAAAAAAAE8o/aTymF5A0hBI/s1600/4+3d+cup+extra+tabbed+strip+for+coffee.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aJyLXJXe1O8/U2rlqosKG5I/AAAAAAAAE8o/aTymF5A0hBI/s1600/4+3d+cup+extra+tabbed+strip+for+coffee.png" height="360" width="640" /></a>Once all your cup shapes are ready to go, start with your main cup pieces. They are the big curved piece, the trim strips, and the bottom of the cup is a round tabbed piece. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pPfAtTmR9_k/U2rlwIiO-pI/AAAAAAAAE8w/qiwhoaTyoXE/s1600/5+3d+cup+pieces.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pPfAtTmR9_k/U2rlwIiO-pI/AAAAAAAAE8w/qiwhoaTyoXE/s1600/5+3d+cup+pieces.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Before I adhered any of the cup pieces together, I measured and marked 3/4-1in. down from the top edge, all the way across the cup body.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g11icKVIkYk/U2rl2SOmoNI/AAAAAAAAE84/uBW38f9-tS4/s1600/6+3d+cup+body.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g11icKVIkYk/U2rl2SOmoNI/AAAAAAAAE84/uBW38f9-tS4/s1600/6+3d+cup+body.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is where I adhered the second large tabbed strip. I lined up the perforations with the markings on the cup. Since this shape is slightly rounded, I had to cut a few tabs along the bottom so that it could solidly adhere to the cup wall. There will be a bit of an overhang, don't adhere that piece just yet! Now, you will need to locate the end of the cup wall that has the perforated strip. ***This is not for bending! It is a mark for you to add your adhesive. Once you add your adhesive to the perforated end, pull your shorter ends together and adhere them, forming the walls of your cup. Don't forget to secure that loose end of the tabbed strip.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HCuHCCOYV8U/U2rl5A4pU0I/AAAAAAAAE9A/pziD9RsvTLg/s1600/7+3d+cup+with+strip+for+coffee.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HCuHCCOYV8U/U2rl5A4pU0I/AAAAAAAAE9A/pziD9RsvTLg/s1600/7+3d+cup+with+strip+for+coffee.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Next, you will need to add adhesive to all the little tabs on the round die cut. I have found that glue dots work really well for this. Fold all of your tabs up and insert and adhere this to the bottom of the cup(tabs on the inside).</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q0U6ihGoxWQ/U2rl9QVM9eI/AAAAAAAAE9I/ntRga-yyS7s/s1600/8+3d+cup+bottom+with+dots+and+folded+tabs.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q0U6ihGoxWQ/U2rl9QVM9eI/AAAAAAAAE9I/ntRga-yyS7s/s1600/8+3d+cup+bottom+with+dots+and+folded+tabs.JPG" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Now, your cup should look like this from the top, looking in... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-REg8Q-sUQcI/U2rmBT4yJkI/AAAAAAAAE9Q/oqFZpXcml50/s1600/9+3d+cup+assembled.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-REg8Q-sUQcI/U2rmBT4yJkI/AAAAAAAAE9Q/oqFZpXcml50/s1600/9+3d+cup+assembled.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /> The perforated end of the shorter tab, works the same way, you don't want to bend it, just use it for a guide for your adhesive. Now, here's where I dropped the ball on photographing my steps. :( You should be able to figure it out, but if not, you have that link at the beginning of this post to refer to.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QwJ6u3SWrMM/U2rlQqhgPFI/AAAAAAAAE7Y/_cGSr5wtGAg/s1600/10+3d+cup+lid+assembly+strip.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QwJ6u3SWrMM/U2rlQqhgPFI/AAAAAAAAE7Y/_cGSr5wtGAg/s1600/10+3d+cup+lid+assembly+strip.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I added adhesive to the shorter tabs before putting it together because, well, I like to make things difficult. :P The shorter tabs are folded down, and adhered to one of the circles with the oblong hole near the edge(tabs on top of the circle die cut. Be sure to line the hole up with the shortest tabs before gluing it all down. The longer tabs get fed through the slots in the larger circle with slots(there is only one of these) It will look like the first pic below on one side, and the second pic below on the other...</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B99_1-KCERc/U2rlTDLqeMI/AAAAAAAAE7g/f3P57b3yG_c/s1600/11+3d+cup+underside.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B99_1-KCERc/U2rlTDLqeMI/AAAAAAAAE7g/f3P57b3yG_c/s1600/11+3d+cup+underside.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZPy7lSRI5fk/U2rlU6f7FfI/AAAAAAAAE7o/VMY05zJy5SA/s1600/12+3d+cup+lid+upside.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZPy7lSRI5fk/U2rlU6f7FfI/AAAAAAAAE7o/VMY05zJy5SA/s1600/12+3d+cup+lid+upside.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I added a few more glue dots to the top, because we now have to adhere the matching circle to the top to hide the tabs. Before I did that, I used a <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/">Cocoa Daisy splatter stamp</a> and some <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/">Jenni Bowlin</a> Brown Sugar ink to add a little detail to the cup's lid. :) </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-osGD_ypGkRM/U2rla252zpI/AAAAAAAAE7w/D-L9cERduwU/s1600/13+3d+cup+lid+stamped+top.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-osGD_ypGkRM/U2rla252zpI/AAAAAAAAE7w/D-L9cERduwU/s1600/13+3d+cup+lid+stamped+top.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Now you need to take the long tabbed strip, adhere it end to end again, and glue the last larger circle to the under side of the tabs like we did above. The little top hat piece that we have already created gets glued to the top of the larger piece. See below... </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x6d4EDoYsyQ/U2rldSL-45I/AAAAAAAAE74/6i2WFD6KnKo/s1600/14+3d+cup+lid+assembly.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x6d4EDoYsyQ/U2rldSL-45I/AAAAAAAAE74/6i2WFD6KnKo/s1600/14+3d+cup+lid+assembly.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Now for the sleeve and "coffee"</div><div style="text-align: center;">I set up my mat so that it will cut both things at once, so here is what my mat looked like to accommodate the two different pieces.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A1dK7Tg4aSQ/U2rlhYRXDHI/AAAAAAAAE8A/0aOhpgTVals/s1600/15++3d+cup+set+up+for+sleeve+and+coffee+cuts.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A1dK7Tg4aSQ/U2rlhYRXDHI/AAAAAAAAE8A/0aOhpgTVals/s1600/15++3d+cup+set+up+for+sleeve+and+coffee+cuts.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I cut my brown circles about 3.3-3.4 in. 3.5 was just a bit too big for my cup but you may have to play around with the sizing to get it right for you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And as for the sleeve, you can cut it from any patterned paper you'd choose, but I wanted mine to look like notebook paper. I didn't have any patterned paper like that, so I created my own. I used a ruler and a grid to help me get my blue lines straight, then I added the little red stripe and I punched a hole, just for fun. :)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uCAitaSwaGw/U2rlmCYR2oI/AAAAAAAAE8I/0mLrCGC5XKE/s1600/16+3d+cup+sleeve.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uCAitaSwaGw/U2rlmCYR2oI/AAAAAAAAE8I/0mLrCGC5XKE/s1600/16+3d+cup+sleeve.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Again, the perforations are just the guidelines for your adhesives. And just a tip, you really want to use something with a good hold.
