Thursday Cuppa Joe

How about a Thursday Cuppa Joe today with My Favorite Things (MFT)?!

When I first saw the MFT Gumball Greetings Card kit, I fell in Love immediately!  I rarely (if ever) order crafting kits, but THIS one is just so adorable and versatile, I figured I could whip out all kinds of great cards and keep them on hand. No, I haven’t done that yet, but I will – I swear!  Haha, but I DID use the kit for today’s card, and I altered it a little by making it a coffee card! Here’s the kit (and you can also see a video of it here):

To make it a coffee card, I pulled out the Lawn Fawn (LF) Love You a Lattee stamp set, and stamped the coffee beans with LF’s Walnut ink.

I also used LF’s Large Stitched 4 Bar Rectangles die set, and their new Everyday Sentiment Banners die set.

I hope you enjoyed! Have a wonderful day, and Happy Crafting!

    Whatta cute card! Ingenious to use the coffee beans inside, have seen similar dispensers at the grocery store, no kidding. 🙂 The metallic parts are so shiny, too. Thanks for sharing today. Happy Thursday!
