Saturday Coffee Cafe - Perfect Blends

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so glad you stopped in today to see what's brewin'...

 

Coffee and crafting supplies ARE the perfect blend!  I love all different types of coffee cups and use them for many things other than coffee - like holding craft supplies.  I don't know about you, but I could spend hours in an office supply store because so many things there can be used in crafting - right?!

 For my card, I used pattern paper from PhotoPlay Crafting With My Gnomies paper pad.  These super fun images are from Catherine Pooler's Desktop Treasures stamps/dies.  The sentiment is from Gina K Crafty Notes.

I managed to get a couple cards completed tonight...with some extra caffeine!  For this card, I layered a design from Trinity Stamps Black & White slimline paper pad onto the card base.  These fun cup shapes were created using STAMPlorations Zen Coffee Cups Layering Dies and the sweet crafty images are from Gina K Designs Crafty Notes!

Get Crafty!

Crafting makes everything better!  This awesome Crafty Notes stamp set by Gina K Designs makes my heart happy because it contains images of all the crafty tools I love to play with!

 For my first card, I layered Lawn Fawn Black cardstock onto the cardbase.  I then cut circles from Lawn Fawn White cardstock using Waffle Flower Stitched Nesting Circles dies; offsetting the die cuts.  I stamped and copic colored the craft images popping them up on and around the circle die cuts.  I then stamped the images using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink Pad.

 For my second card, I layered Lawn Fawn Black cardstock onto the cardbase.  I then layered on a piece of Lawn Fawn White cardstock and blended some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink with the Mini Ink Blending Tool.  I stamped and copic colored several of the Crafty Notes images and arranged them.  To finish, I stamped the sentiment (my mantra!) with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink Pad.
