Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello Coffee Lovers!!

It’s time for Brew & Craft Your Stash!! Challenge #57 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 #57 – Design with Confetti! This is an easy challenge, there are so many ways to use Confetti!! Three cards adhered their confetti directly on the card, one coming out of an envelope, the second as a background decoration and the 3rd part of a flower decorations making a confetti strip. The last card use the confetti in a hand made shaker paper jar!

At first I was going to use a confetti stamp and add confetti coffee cups to it, but I really didn’t like the look. Instead I decided to just use the confetti cups!!

I started with Catherine Poolers Life, Love, Latte stamp set and used CP pink ink to ink it up. Then I fussy cut the cup out.

Next, I place the cup on a blue card base and then started adding coffee cup confetti from Miss Ink Stamps, called Latte Love. When I had them arranged to my liking I adhered each one down (half way thru I wondered what was I thinking!?!?!).

Then I added the cup with foam tape. Last I rounded the bottom corners, but left the rest of the card plain since the confetti are iridescence, so they catch the light and change colors!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this encourages you to pull out your confetti pieces, sequins or stamps and make cards with them!!
