Teacher Thank-You Coffee Card

Hello to all my sweet coffee-loving crafty friends!  Welcome by again today as I share a card that I created for a friend who wanted a special card to give her daughter's teacher.  I knew right away that I wanted to use these Authentique papers I had picked up not too long ago at Tuesday Morning.  I used several of the patterned papers, picture card, and a sticker from the set.  I also cut a doily using a Spellbinders doily die and used half of it on the front of the card, and the other half on the inside of the card (which I also decorated to tuck in a Starbucks gift card).  I added an ivory seam binding bow, with a Memory Box tiny tag stamped with "thanks" from Paper Sweeties Thanks Berry Much Stamp Set and attached it with Solid Red Baker's Twine.  There's just a bit of machine stitching on the front as well.
On the inside of the card, I added a mini kraft bag and tucked a Starbucks gift card inside.  I decorated the little bag with patterned papers, a Paper Sweeties sentiment from the Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Stamp Set and the coffee cup from the Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Sweet Cuts.  I also tied some Black Baker's Twine to the Starbucks card.
Here's where I'm playing along:



Coffee-Loving Cardmakers Fall Blog Hop - Anything Coffee, Tea or Cocoa Related


ScrapyLand Challenge Blog - Challenge #74 - Anything Goes - I used a Spellbinders/Momenta doily die, and I cut it in half; using one half on the front and the other half on the inside of my card. I also used a Memory Box Tiny Tag on the front of my card.

    Karen, this is a great card. Perfect for a teacher and they love teaching and coffee a latte, hehe. I actually got my daughter a t-shirt that has that because she is a 4th grade teacher.
