Coffee Lover


  
I got to play with some fun, new things!  The coffee mugs are new dies from Paper Smooches (Coffee & Tea dies) and the "coffee" die cut is from Verve (I took advantage of the sale they have going on!)  I used the bottom of the "f" s of the coffee die for the "steam".

Thanks to these challenges for inspiring my card!




CONGRATS to Colour Me on celebrating their 1 year anniversary!

  1. I love these coffee cups with the steam coming out! How clever to use the bottom of the f's in the die cut! This makes me wish for a good cup of coffee! Happy New Year, my friend!

  2. What an eye for design you have, Kathy! The background embossing is perfection for your coffee cups, which are brilliantly paper-pieced and the rustic twine ties it all up like a gift! Oh, and please, to think of using the bottom of the fs for the steam is nothing short of genius!! Thank you so much for linking this beauty up with my NBUS Challenge #3!! Happy New Year! Hugs, Darnell

  13. This is absolutely adorable. I love that each of the cups are with their own unique designer papers. The embossing is gorgeous too and everything blends well with the Kraft paper. Thanks for blessing us with your artwork last week at Word Art Wednesday. There is still time to join us for our Challenge this week so, I hope you link more projects with us. Leaving you with God's Word in Hebrews 7:25 which says, "Therefore he (Jesus) is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." God bless always!

After browsing your blog I'm so inspired by your beautiful creations - especially love your color schemes, so well put together - that I might have to put my house work aside for some crafting time.
