Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello Coffee Lovers!!

It’s time for a new Brew & Craft Your Stash!! Challenge #14 in the 75 Creative Card Challenges Magazine by Paper Crafts 2013!! Grab your drink of choice and get ready for some great crafty ideas!!!

Challenge #14 – Use A Paper Bag. Each card in the magazine used a paper bag in a new way. One used a small paper bag as an embellishment. One card created a fer small, thin box making a faux shipping box. Another card cut the paper bag in strips and created a basket. The last card rumbled a paper bag and then cut circles from it and pattern paper.

My paper bag came from The Ink Road Stamps, it was part of the lovely packaging. Since the bag was black and white stripes I decided to use it like pattern paper. I used Stamplorations Tag O’ Coffee die set to cut 6 coffee cups from the bag.

Next, I cut a stitched rectangle and inked up the center with purple ink. With the same ink I stamped the Hello, Friend from Tim Holtz Coffee Time stamp set. I used the matching die to cut out the sentiment

I added the inked panel to some purple card stock and added that to white card base. Then I added the 6 coffee cups. The sentiment was added with foam tape. Last I added a few sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope this inspires you to use those paper bags you have in a new way!
