Need a Cup?

Today’s card is a complete throwback. I love the Coffee Cafe stamp set and assorted products, but they all retired last year. Boo!!! I still love my set and refuse to sell them. So I pulled all the products out and made a fun coffee card for this week. I know I’ve made this card design before, but it’s too good to not bring it back.

A Cup of Giggles

Today’s card is a celebration of bright colors and fun beverages! The Coffee Cafe stamp set and coordinating dies are always a favorite in my stash. For this card, I made a fun confection in Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana. This striped paper from the How Sweet It Is DSP pack is just too fun. You’ll be seeing again later this month.

Cup of Happiness

Today’s card is just a explosion of fun colors. I adore the Needlepoint Nook DSP which is a surprise. I just usually gravitate to the feminine and country style papers, but this pack is just too beautiful. This pattern isn’t textured, but it sure looks like it! Love the detail. I decided to really showcase the paper and add a simple image of a coffee cup and some accessories. This card just makes me happy.

A Coffee for Dad

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Father's Day card. I'm always up for making a card for mom or grandma, but what to make for my day.

Coffee Break Today

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a coffee break card. Another excuse to pull out the Coffee Cafe Stamp Set. Even if SU decides to retire this set at the end of the catalog, I will be keeping this and making more coffee themed cards. I love it so much. Or maybe it's that I love coffee so much... Anyways, I chose to pick some fun DSP pieces, lay them in a pattern, and then emboss the entire piece using the Hexagons Embossing Folder. From there, it was just a matter of making a fun Coffee Cup to act as my focal point.

How About a Coffee?

Today's post features the 3D project from September's stamp club. I wanted to make something simple but useful. This little gift card holder is perfect! Simply cut out two same size pieces of cardstock to create the bases. From there, I added some great retired paper as a background and went to town creating my coffee cups. For club, the ladies made their own with a variety of paper scraps and colors. Love it!

Have a Cup

Today's card features one of my favorite new stamp sets: Coffee Cafe. I love coffee so of course i had to buy this bundle! For this card I decided to layer on a ton of pieces (DSP, washi tape, die cut cups, background layers) until I created a fun layered card. I dug through my washi tape stash to find something that would match the colors in the DSP pieces. Thankfully I had some retired Moroccan Washi Tape and some Gold Glitter Washi Tape. I think they add just enough interest to this crazy card.

A Coffee For You

I finally opened up the fun Coffee Cafe bundle and got creating! This card celebrates some of the great DSP in the Coffee Break pack. There will be more coffee cards to come I'm sure. I love the little stamped coffee beans I added as a last touch.
