A Yawn is a Silent Scream for Coffee!

Hello friends!  Today, I am sharing another card that I created for the Kat Scrappiness Perk Up Release and also for a coffee-themed card swap that I participated in.  

This release is full of anything and everything a coffee lover could ask for, so it was right up my alley!  I started with a base of brown heavyweight cardstock and a panel of metallic copper card stock. 

I did something that I have never done before. I stenciled over patterned paper, and I love the result.  

I used the Coffee Splatter 6 x 6 Stencil with Walnut Stain Distress Ink over the coffee bean page from the Cuppa Love 6 x 8 Paper Pad.  I love how it looks like I actually spilled my coffee on the card. 

I stamped the coffee pot from the Perk Up Stamp Set in Walnut Stain Distress Ink and embossed the sentiment using Dino Dust Embossing Powder from Kindred Stamps.   I then die-cut the image using the coordinating Perk Up Dies.

Lastly, I wrapped the card panels in bronze metallic thread, tied a loopy bow and popped the coffee pot up on foam squares.   I hope that my swap partner loves the card as much as I do!  It was tons of fun to create! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would love it if you would leave me a comment telling me if you are Team Coffee or Team Tea!

Xoxo, Kim

Sip Happens!

 Hi friends!  I am just popping in to share this fun shaker card that I made for the Kat Scrappiness Perk Up Release.  This release is perfect for coffee lovers like myself!  

Using the Cuppa Love Shaker Dies, I die-cut my shaker elements - the top layer was cut from the Cuppa Love 6 x 6 Paper Pack and I cut the background from holographic paper that I had in my stash, along with a spoon from the holographic paper.  I filled the shaker with some chunky glitter and the Coffee to Go Sprinkles and I set it aside.

I layered several card panels together and wrapped them with irridescent white embroidery thread.  I adhered the spoon and my shaker to the card front.  I embossed the sentiment from the Perk Up Stamp Set and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. Lastly, I added a loopy bow.

I hope that you love this card as much as I do!  Please head over to the shop and check out all of the amazing goodness!  

Thanks for stopping by!
