Posted on September 30, 2016 by melissadawnlane

Hi! I’m very happy to have you visiting my blog today. I know your time is precious and hope that you enjoy your visit.

I have another card to share with you that I designed with STAMPlorations products for the Fall CLBH.

Shery has a bunch Coffee & Tea lover themed products in her store.

I love the new CUTplorations die and the brand new Coffee Cup Silhouette Die. CUTplorations-coffeecup-preview

Besides the die, I also used the ARTplorations Stencils Some Birds and Chevron Crazy.

How I made this card:

I made the background by reverse stenciling with Brusho Crystal Colours and the Chevron Crazy stencil.
I die cut the coffee cup in red and black card stock.
I pieced the die cuts together and added white gel pen to color the steam.
I matted the cup and chevron panel with red card stock.
Stenciled on the black birds.
Stamped and fussy cut the sentiment (Always Tea Time) and attached with foam tape.
Added the matted panel to the Kraft card base.

I really enjoyed making this card and I hope that you enjoyed seeing it.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I really appreciate your visit.

Grace & Peace,

Melissa

Hi! I’m very happy to have you visiting my blog today. I know your time is precious and hope that you enjoy your visit.

I’m not a coffee fan myself, but my husband likes it a lot. So, I have grown to think of coffee with a warm feeling because the smell of it means that he’s probably home. 🙂

I Love Coffee

I have a fun card to share with you that I designed with STAMPlorations products for the Fall CLBH.

Coffee reminds me of the song Margee Ann by Fernando Ortega. Have you heard of it?

I really like the song Margee Ann. Here are some of the lyrics:

You’re the first light of the morning, my cool sunrise
You’re my love across the table, a little sleep in your eyes
You’re my strong cup of coffee, you like to laugh right with me
You’re my heart’s companion, my one true companion
Sweet darling, lover of mine

❤
