Coffee Card for those who Love Coffee

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis 
· June 5, 2015 

It’s no secret that I love coffee!  I know I’m not alone!  In fact, there’s an entire Bloghop dedicated to Coffee Lovers!  If you’re visiting from the Coffee Lover’s Bloghop, WELCOME!  You might know that I’m a double sponsor of the hop.  One Winner will receive a Goodie Basket from my Stampin’ Up! Store and another will receive an Online Paper Crafting Class from StampAcademy.com – So sit back, drink a cup of coffee and hop to your heart’s content!

Summer Coffee Lovers BloghopAs I was getting ready to download my photos, I started looking around my kitchen and realized there are SO many “Coffee” Accessories so I took a few pics to share.  This is the corner cabinet in my kitchen.  A lovely woman designed the corner cabinet and created it with Stained Glass.  I love, love, love it!  On top of my cabinets, all around my kitchen, I have various coffee related boxes, plates, cups, candles, etc.

It’s crazy!  I bounce from clean and simple to grunge almost daily.  In fact, I did both for today but I thought I’d start out with a Clean and Simple Card using my new Technique Tuesday Stamp and My Boyfriend, Tim’s coffee embossing folder.  I struggled to keep it simple and I think it definitely qualifies as a CAS Card!

Take a Coffee Break

  • Cut a piece of Chocolate Chip Card Stock to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score and fold at 5 1/2″.
  • Emboss a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of SU! Whisper White Card Stock using TH’s On The Go Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
  • Wrap a piece of Whisper White Seam Binding around the white card stock and secure it behind with Glue Dots.
  • Tie a Double Bow (See a VIDEO HERE on How To Tie a Double Bow Using Your Fingers).

Take a Coffee Break Card flat

  • Adhere the bow to the ribbon using Glue Dots.
  • Stamp “Take A” from Technique Tuesday’s Coffee Break Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip Ink and cut using SU!’s Bitty Banner Framelits.  Trim the left edge.
  • Use a scrap from TH’s Stencil cardboard piece to cut out another banner and adhere the words to the banner.  Attach to card front.

Take a Coffee Break Card

  • Stamp the “Coffee Break” Stamp onto a piece of Whisper White Card Stock using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  Color the Coffee Cup and smoke.
  • Punch out using a 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.
  • Use a Circle Framelit to cut out a scrap from TH’s Stencil Cardboard piece and layer behind the coffee break circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Adhere to the card from with more Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • Emboss a coffee bean from the stamp set in Chocolate Chip Ink.  Cut out and attach to card front using another foam dimensional.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Here’s a little preview of this weekend’s blog post.  Come back and I’ll show you how this grungy journal page was created and finished!  Click HERE to join my mailing list. 🙂
