If you're anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My favorite is a vanilla latte, and I've learned how to make mine at home so that it tastes almost exactly like I'd expect from Starbucks or any good coffee shop. I like how they turn out; and by making them at home, they don't cost $6 each and I'm able to make a second one any time I want. Stamp Simply makes it easy for me to create FUN coffee cards. There's still time to take part in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers' Blog Hop for your chance to WIN some fabulous prizes - including a $25 gift card to spend at Super Sponsor, Stamp Simply.I used basic white cardstock for my base and I layered that with patterned papers found in the awesome Coffee or Tea 6x6 Paper Pad. I machine stitched them together on my white card base. Next, I used the same patterned papers to cut several border strips using the Tim Holtz Crochet Border Dies. Aren't those papers just SO lovely?I cut a white doily in half and placed both halves onto my card. I also slid a small glassine bag underneath the doilies where I tucked in a small Starbucks gift card. The coffee mugs are stamped using the Have A Cup On Us Stamp Set and were cut using the coordinating Have A Cup On Us Dies. I used the Coffee or Tea Stamp Set for the sentiments. I stamped the sentiment (Just For You) onto a banner cut using the fabulous Fishtail Banner Dies.The last thing I did to my card was to add some pretty purple Baker's Twine that I wrapped around it and tied into a pretty bow. This is a great way to tuck in a gift, and Stamp Simply always has the perfect stamps and dies to help you create.
