Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hey there coffee loving crafters!  It’s Kerry here and I’m back with another Sunday Sip!  This week I decided to dig into my stash and use one of my long forgotten stamp images.  Remember this stamp from Stampendous?  It is an oldie but a goodie so I don’t think I’ll ever give it up…The double perk (pun intended) to this stamp is that it is a woodblock and red rubber!  WOO!  Would you believe that this stamp IS still available for purchase on the Stampendous site?  YEP!  Check it out HERE.

I started out by coloring the stamped image on white cardstock and then I trimmed it a bit too close for my liking.  To resolve this and save the image from heading to the trash, I distressed the edges a bit and used some taupe ink to age the paper a bit.  I liked where it was heading so I attached a bit of corrugated paper to the edge and then dug through my paper stash for some paper that would coordinate perfectly.  I found it in the “Lost and Found” 6×6 MME pad in my stash.  I love the mustard-y yellows and antique vibe this pad gives off so it was perfect for this card.  

To add some whimsy, I made a tiny little polka-dot bow with some new sheer ribbon then added a bit more to the card front.  Perfect!  To finish my card off, I attached more corrugated paper along the edge and attached this panel to a small kraft card base.  I have a ton of coordinating kraft envies so this little beauty will be heading out in the mail soon!

Thanks for hopping over to check out this week’s card.  I hope you were inspired to dig into your stash and give a long lost image some love.  See you again next week!
