This is the card I made for my step-father for Father's Day. We both LOVE donuts, and I have had this stamp set for awhile (and never used it), so I thought it would be perfect for his card.
I stamped, colored, and cut the donuts out. I applied Espresso Dimensional Pearls for the frosting. Now, I didn't have any beads or glitter for the sprinkles, so I cheated and punched some teeny tiny holes out of cardstock. I had a lot of help with this card, and Oscar is covered in teeny tiny little dots from the cardstock because he felt the need to roll in them every time I punched them out. I stuck them to the Espresso Dimensional Pearls, but it just didn't look shiny enough for a chocolate frosted donut. So, I added a layer of Diamond Glaze to the top and I think it looks really good.
The coffee cup stamp that comes with this set, is really cute, but chuck is not a double shot orange mochaccino with whip kind of guy. So, I improvised with making a to-go style coffee cup. Every thing is adhered with differing layers of pop up dots.
I added some letter stickers and a Whoo Hoo label to finish it off. I really have a hankering for Dunkin Donuts right now, but, its thundering/lightening something wicked out there and it's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup, so I will forgo my donut to cheer my boys on. Go Bruins!
Supplies:
Stamps: Taylored Expressions-Sprinkled with Love, Hero Arts-CL498
Ink: Versafine, Memento
Paper: MME, Bazzill, October Afternoon
Misc: Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Diamond Glaze, pop up dots, tiny hole puncher, Sn@p stickers, Espresso Dimensional Pearls
Thanks for stopping by,
Those donuts look good enough to eat! I love your coffee cup too- sounds like Oscar would have a blast with my Tigress. She has loads if fun with any scraps of paper (especially ribbon) that fall from my table *Ü* hope the job front opens up for you real soon. Hugs~
