Coffee Date With Kathy

Posted on by maryredjr

My good friend, Kathy Schweinfurth invited me to be her coffee date on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog . This is a new feature where the design team members invite a friend to be their ‘coffee date’. We each created cards for this special blog.

Our cards were inspired by a sketch and color combo:

Here is the card I created. I really love this pretty to go cup image and I thought the sentiment was a good fit.

Coffee Cup Image:  Unity Spring To Go

Sentiment:  Altenew Coffee Talk

Patterned Paper: Jen Hadfield: Heart of Home “Painted Gingham”

I started my card by stamping the image and coloring it with my Copic markers. I fussy cut it and also fussy cut an additional flower to give my card a little dimension.

Using the sketch as a guide, I cut my card pieces, including some pretty ribbon I had in my stash. I wanted to add something more to the back panel, so I stenciled some coffee rings with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Ink. (As you can see, I’m really taking this coffee thing seriously!)

Next, I glued my pieces to my card base, except my to go cup because I needed to line up my sentiment. Using my Misti, I stamped the sentiment and then adhered the die cut circle to my card. Lastly, I used foam tape to pop up my cup.

This card will most likely be sent to a friend at work, who swears she can’t function without her caffeine.

Also, we have a little giveaway!  Leave a comment on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for a chance to win a coffee-loving prize package (US only).  For an additional entry, leave a comment on my blog and Kathy’s- Stamps At Play
