Today You Will Rule The World - Coffee

Hello Quietfire Design digi-fans!  Betsy here on the blog today bringing you my first ever digital cut file project!  WOW!  I was amazed at how easy it was.

This is the SVG file that I used:

I have a Brother Scan N Cut so the program I was using for my project was CanvasWorkspace.

I simply started a new project, clicked on the SVG icon and browsed for my file, which in this case is: Today You Will Rule The World - Coffee.  I clicked ok and this is what I saw on my screen:

I went through the prompts and over to my Scan N Cut and the machine cut it out.  I used a glitter paper.  I found there was some layer separating with this paper, but on the whole it cut out fine.

In order to take my letters off the cutting mat and adhere them to my card, I needed to have a circle guide for my letters.  I measured the inside space of the letters and it was 3 1/4".  I used a round cutting die of that size and cut a piece of masking paper.   I centered the mask onto my background paper and adhered my letters around it.

Then, using a ruler as a guide, I adhered my "coffee" in the center.

My background paper is 5 1/2" square, my card base is 6" x 6" in a light aqua blue.  The paper pack that I was using had a piece of paper with the coffee cups on it.  I simply cut one of the cups out, adhered it a piece of white card stock and popped it up on foam tape to the card.  Then I added some espresso colored gems.  And that finished my card!

Hi Y'all!

Robyn here on vacation this week, so I made two cards last week, using the same files and 

New Stamps

to show you the versatility you get with each purchase from

Quietfire Design 
and
Suzanne's Silhouette Store

The shaped card is created from the
Coffee or Tea? Dingbat Font

On the mat

Install the font and you get 26 designs to cut, sketch, whatever !

Design mat

Hints:

• Make several copies of each image so if you mess up modifying  you have another one handy
• use text to mark images you want to save, identify. 
• Set the text in the image to "no cut" right away so you don't forget!
• Have fun, mix and match, modify and see what happens! It's only on the screen.
• Cut out dummies with copy paper to make models to see if you like it before using the good paper and vinyl.

Chalkline Font - Coffee & Chocolate Chip - Life Doesn't Have To Be...

Yogi here today and I've been itching to do a coffee card...

I'm using one of Suzanne's fonts that work great in emails, Word, Excel etc., it's an OTF font extension and available from Suznne at Quietfire Design. I used it in my SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) software and printed out the background and other text. Love that font, it's so funky...

I'm using one of the NEWEST quote stamps from Quietfire Design "Life Doesn't Have To Be Perfect...");

Also using a couple electronic cut files from Suzanne available on Silhouette. Click image to purchase. 

Opened my projects in my SCAL software, removing portions not needed... Cut everything from white cardstock. Colored with Distress dabber "Walnut Stain" for the main coffee cup. Ran the cup holder piece through my machine with the Elizabeth Craft Designs "Coffee Bean" embossing folder. Sponged all over with the antique linen and hit the high points direct to paper with the walnut stain. Adhered to cup. The steam was inked with Picket Fence pad and embossed with Emerald Creek "Soft Fallen Snow" (love the texture...)

On page 2 of my SCAL software, I created my background using the Chalkline font and a bunch of coffee related words in various sizes. Resized the lot to fit my card base. Printed out on white cardstock. Colored the letters with Prisma colored pencils in various brown shades, then went over the whole page with a Distress "Antique Linen" pad (PS mine is a bit dry, I'm lazy and don't fill them very often... But I get nice tonal values this way BIG GRIN)
Scored and folded my dark brown textured cardstock (DCWV pad) to create the easel. Adhered another piece same size as card. Then adhered my text background and the coffee cup. Added the "Friends Cafe" on the cup.

On the floor: Colored the chocolate chip with Prisma colored pencils in various shades of brown. Scored it about mid way and adhered the bottom section to the floor to act as my stopper.

Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Ovals" die set. Sponged around the edges with a dirty brown sponge and then with the antique linen all over. Removed from die and adhered to floor.

Trimmed down and adhered the sentiment.
