Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello Coffee Lovers!!

It’s time for Brew & Craft Your Stash!! Challenge #46 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 #46 – Make A Card Within A Card. This is really cool challenge! Basically make some sort of card on your actual card.   One card created a pocket and added a sentiment slip for the pocket. Another card created a tiny envelope and mini card, all on a postal stamp shaped card. The other to cards had bigger cards that you can actually open like a card.

For my card on a card, I went with a small card that you can actually open! To start I pulled out Concord & 9th Coffee Blend Bundle. I used their hand Turnabout jig to help me stamp the coffee background in shades of brown and black.

Next, I pulled out a piece of white card stock and folded it in half. I placed the coffee cup die just above the fold line and ran it through my die cutting machine. This created my small card. Then I die cut some pattern paper and adhered it to the front of the cup.

For the inside of the cup, I stamped the matching stamp with purple ink. Then I adhered the cup to the front of my card. As I was taking my photos, I thought I should have dressed up the front of my mini coffee cup card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
