Saturday Coffee Cafe - Just a Note

 

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

Pretty coffee cups are perfect to hold many things other than coffee!  I love using a favorite mug to hold pens, pencils, paint brushes, etc. to 'decorate' my desk.

My card features some fun goodies I found in my stash...

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Coffee & Crafting

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm thrilled you stopped by today to see what's brewing...

My best days are generally spending time creating in my craft room with a great cup of coffee or soothing cup of tea!  I just 'get lost' in what I'm making and the time just flies!

For my slimline card, I used some super fun die sets from My Favorite Things (MFT Stamps)!  The lovely cup of tea, glasses, spoon and tea bag were created with MFT Stamps Creature Comforts dies. I love my craft supplies and these absolutely adorable little Copic markers, inks, blending tools, tape and scissors were created with MFT Stamps Tools of the Trade dies.   What's better than a coffee-themed card?  MINI coffee-themed cards!!  These were created using MFT Stamps Mini Mugs dies.

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Picture Perfect

 

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

One day, I'd love to frame images of all my favorite coffee/tea/cocoa cards.  I'm not sure where I'd hang them (we literally have no wall space left), but I think it would make a picture perfect caffeinated wall!

For my card, I cut two designs from Echo Park A Slice of Summer paper pad with Pink & Main Stitched Rectangle Set 1 for the base.  I then cut white cardstock from an eyelet border die I found in my stash and adhered it between the two paper designs.  The pretty coffee pot, cup and sentiment are from Jane's Doodles Brew Tea-ful set and I framed the pot with cardstock cut from MFT Stamps Stitched Rectangle Frames dies.  The lovely flowers in the cup is from another Jane's Doodles set called Fresh Cut Flowers.  To finish, I added shimmering pearls from Pink & Main Rainbow Pearls Set 2 collection.

 Hope YOUR day is picture perfect...and well caffeinated!

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Tea Party!

 

Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Café!  I’m so glad you stopped by to see what’s brewin’ today!

Did you have tea parties with your friends (or toys) when you were a kid?  I used to love to play pretend and have festive tea parties with apple juice and cookies 😊 

 

These little cuties from My Favorite Things Tea Party stamp set have gotten all dressed up and are ready for a super fun party!  I just love the sweet little mouse in the cup and perfect sentiment.

Hope you have a tea party kind of day!

Saturday Coffee Cafe - What's Brewing?

 Happy New Year, Coffee Loving Fans!  I'm so glad you stopped into the Cafe today -- I'm glad you're here!

One of my immediate goals for this new year is to clean up and reorganize my craft room.  I know, that's a never ending goal!  It is amazing how many things I find that I either haven't used yet or forgot I had...hence, what I created with for today's card!

For my card, I created a background using Honey Bee Stamps Coffee Bean Background stamp and brushed the edges with a dark brown ink.  The MFT Stamps Stitched Rectangle Frames made a great backdrop to highlight this adorable stamp/die set from Taylored Expressions: Koffee Time Stamp/Die Combo.

 Here's to a Happy, Healthy and Hopeful New Year!

 

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Friendship

 

Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Cafe...I'm so glad you decided to stop in today! 

I'm so excited to be meeting a dear friend this week for dinner (at an restaurant with an outside patio!).  I haven't been 'out' to dinner since all the craziness started and my friend and I haven't seen each other since the end of last year.  It's going to be awesome!

For the background of my card, I made a distress ink blended sky and then dry embossed the 'brick' sidewalk and blended it with distress ink.

The darling 'cafe' in the background is from My Favorite Things Boutique die.  Most of the other images are from My Favorite Things Friends At First Sip stamp/die set.  The words on the window are from a Sweet Stamp Shop set.  I love this little coffee cafe scene!

Hope you get a chance to spend some time with friends...and enjoy a yummy cup of your favorite brew!

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Awesomeness!

 Hey, Coffee Loving fans!  Glad you stopped in to the Cafe today because there's something purrrr-fect brewing!

It may seem like a black cat walked in front of the entire world these last several months, but this little kitty is bringing only awesomeness...coffee awesomeness!

For my card, I layered cardstock and pattern paper for the background.  This sweet little coffee-loving kitty is a die from Waffle Flower called Be A Cat...I just love him!  He's holding a glittery mug of java that was created with MFT Stamps Hot Cocoa Cups.  I white embossed one the STAMPlorations sentiments in the Fond Expressions set then cut it out using one of the Pink & Main Stitched Oval dies.

Hope YOUR day is filled with awesomeness...and a fabulous cup of your favorite brew!

 

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Brew-tiful

Hello, Coffee Loving fans and welcome to the Saturday Coffee Cafe!  It's February - the month of love - and what I love the most (besides my family, of course) is a wonderful cup of java!  It's a brew-tiful thing!

For my card today, I used several patterns from Echo Park Welcome Home paper pad for layering.  The sweet coffee-lovin' girl image is Grande-sized Love from MFT Stamps which I paper pieced.

Using the MFT Cafe All Day die, I blended inks for the background, edged the 'whipped cream' and created the shaker using a Coffee Cup Shaker Pouch, mini brown sequins the those adorable MFT Frosty Ice Cube embellishments! The cup 'cover' was cut from vellum.

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Cozy Christmas

Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Cafe -  I'm so glad you stopped in today!  Grab a cup of brew (or cocoa) and get cozy while you see what I'm serving up today...

We put up our Christmas tree and I love to just sit on the couch with a cup of brew and look at it!  If it were up to me, I'd leave it up all year long, but my family says it wouldn't be as special as when we first put it up for Christmas.  Sigh -- they may be right.

 For my card, I first adhered a plaid paper and dark brown cardstock onto the card base.  Then came the fun part...stamping, diecutting and coloring these adorable images from My Favorite Things Merry Christmoose! This set recently came out of the MFT vault and I was thrilled...it's one of my favorites!  It really makes me feel warm all over ;)

Miss You a Latte

Happy Saturday and welcome to the cafe!  Today I'm serving up a simple card with a stamp set that I've definitely missed a latte!

 I've looked for this MFT stamp for a while and was thrilled when I saw they re-released it recently from the 'vault'!  Being a coffee-lover, it's a perfect set for my ever-growing collection :)!

I layered a retired MFT plaid patterned paper for the backdrop and stamped the sentiment on another patterned paper layered to the bottom.  This adorable image from the ALM Miss You a Latte set was super easy to color and it just makes me smile!  To finish, I added a few gems to the corners.

Sweater Weather

 Happy Saturday, Coffee Lovin' Fans!  Are you ready for sweater weather?  It's been cooler in the mornings and late evenings, but we're still seeing temps in the high 70-80's.  That's ok with me because no matter what the temperature, coffee is still my beverage of choice!

 For my card, I layered Reverse Confetti Midnight cardstock onto the card base.  I then embossed a piece of Lime Green cardstock using Sunny Studio's Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder.  On Sand cardstock using Dark Roast ink, I used Concord & 9th's Tree Ring stamp. 

I thought the tree ring went perfectly with these adorable guys from My Favorite Things Sweater Weather in the Woods set!  The sentiment from this set made me think of all of YOU.
