Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello Coffee Lovers!!

It’s time for Brew & Craft Your Stash!! Challenge #54 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 #54 – Use a Twist Tie or Bread Tab. Two cards are featured in this challenge, one uses Twist Ties as confetti, they are curled and colorful! The Bread Tabs are in different colored and matched with washi tape to create a background.

I started saving my Bread Tabs some time ago and green was the common color. So I started playing with them and found that they kind of fit together like a puzzle. I adhered them to some watercolor card stock since its thicker and could handle the extra weight of the tabs.

Then I pulled out Honey Be Stamps Coffee Tea Time & matching die set to cut a tea cup, lime and leafs. I used a couple distress oxides and a Catherine Pooler ink to color them.

Next, I used Perfect Blend to white heat embossed my sentiment on a black card stock strip. For the background I white heat embossed Hero Arts Fresh Citrus on a black card base.

Then I added my Bread Tab background to my embossed card base. The sentiment was added and trimmed. Last, I added the images with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope this encourages you to try to use your twist ties or bread tabs in new interesting ways on your project!!
