Coffee Loving Papercrafters

We have Carrie back with us today!

Hello, everyone!  I hope you are having an amazing summer filled with coffee and crafting. Today’s project is a simple card you can recreate using items in your craft stash. 

For most of you, summer is loaded with activity. I spend most of my time in the garden, but this year, we added a renovation to the mix, which has caused me to send three coffee makers and a milk steamer to their graves. Amid the madness, I find sanity in creating something new.

Summer is a great time to use up that craft stash. Right now, my sticker collection is overflowing, so I have decided to use them on some card projects.

Stickers can be used for sentiments, embellishments, backgrounds, or borders. On this card, I used a large sticker for the sentiment, a mini cup to embellish the sentiment, and two banners as trimmings below the flower.  

I chose some cardstock in my collection that matched and added a simple magnolia flower to bring everything to life. This flower from Simon Says Stamp is one of my favorites.  I shaded the magnolia to match the pink elements and layered some leaves behind cut from a cardstock that matched the sentiment. 

This card came together so quickly and didn’t require any stamping or coloring. I must admit, I was pretty proud of myself for using up a few items I had stashed away, and plan on making a few more cards with this collection. 

I hope that today’s project inspired you to use up some of your coffee collection this season.  I can’t wait to see what you create!
