For my card, I used the following Miss Ink products:

 

Big Mugs 

Seasons Greetings Sentiments

Coffee Bean/Stain Stencil

Saturday Coffee Cafe - It's Pumpkin Spice Season!

 

 

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

 

The weather has turned a bit cooler this week -- Fall is here!  And so is pumpkin spice season! 

For my card, I layered some glitter cardstock to the card base.  I then used Miss Ink Stamps Latte Love Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade Orange and Walnut Stain to create the background.

This ADORABLE image and sentiment are from Miss Ink Stamps Pumpkin Spice Latte set.  I adhered brown cardstock to the back of the cut image and fussy cut a 'shadow'.

 

 

Coffee Gnome Rainbow

For my slimline card, I cut black cardstock using Kat Scrappiness Slimline Cross Stitched and Slimline Never Ending Nesting dies to create the frame.  I then placed one of the patterns from the Trinity Stamps Black & White Slimline paper pad onto the back before adhering the frame to the card base.

These adorable coffee-loving rainbow gnomes are from SugarPea Designs Gnome for Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies!  The sentiment is from Miss Ink Brewtiful set.

 

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Wake Up!

 Good morning!  Welcome to the cafe...I'm so glad you decided to stop by!  Grab a cup of your favorite brew and take a look at what's being served up today...

 The best part of my morning is that first sip of coffee...it's truly magical!  I'm one of those folks who drinks coffee all day long.  No, it doesn't keep me up (I'm a natural night owl), but it does wake me up in the morning!

 My card features a gorgeous set by Miss Ink Stamps called Brewtiful! It was so fun coloring these lovely images.  I place the images on top of a background created with Reverse Confetti's Sunburst Cover panel that I watercolored with distress inks.
