Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Happy Monday!  It is Thanksgiving here in the US this week.  I am looking forward to having a few days off and enjoying some good food with family and friends. Given that, it would be great if I had a Turkey on my card, but I don’t, hopefully you will still enjoy it.

Here is my card for today.  Cute on the outside and has a little treat on the inside… wait for it.  I almost always us a white base, and typically have top fold cards, so I scored and folded that and set aside.  Then I pulled out this light sage colored cardstock from SU!, cut it lightly smaller than the base.  I used my Lawn Fawn Lift the Flap die to cut the peek-a-boo window and Used a Taylor Expression embossing folder to add the stars.  I cut a small white snow bank and used the Lift the Flap to make the bottom match.  I adhered and then created a hole punch in both.  I stamped part of my sentiment from Avery Elle and added the twine.  I set this aside and worked on my cute little snowman from Your Next Stamp Holiday Buddies Stamp set.  I colored him, fussy cut him and added him to the scene with dimensionals.  Lastly for the top layer I added these snowflakes cut in sparkle paper, these are from X-cuts.

Here is another view….

I love the tease this gives you when you first pick it up. What do you think is inside?  Shall I show you….

There it is, the inside!  The outside says “Wishing you…”  The inside says “Joy this Holiday Season.”  Again, the sentiment is from Avery Elle.  The J and the Y are ephemera from a paper pack, long waiting to be used.  The O is from the Warm Christmas Wishes set from YNS.  I colored the whip cream and holly and paper pieced the cup. Unfortunately, I can’t recall who makes this polka-dot paper but it makes the perfect backdrop.

Hope you enjoyed this today.  I appreciate your visit!
