Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Nancy is back with us for another day of inspiration!

Hello, I am back today for week 4 here on the blog. I am really enjoying my time with Amy and the Brew Crew and certainly hope I have inspired you a wee bit as well.

I first started off by taking my Miss Ink Stamps-Frosty Flakes Stencil and some Peacock Feathers Oxide ink and made my background on a piece of dotted light teal DSP. While the stencil was still in place I took my Nuvo Shimmer Paste (which I adore) and made the snowflakes come to life. You can see below, and it turned out really nice. Check out all that sparkle!

Next, it was time to assemble my coffee cup. I have used Catherine Pooler’s Coffee Cup Gift Card To Go Die-Cut. This is a really great die! As my card was developing, I decided the cup was a bit too tall and was hiding too much of my beautiful sparkly snowflake background, so I cut it down about 1/2 inch or so. I think it worked out perfectly and it doesn’t look too squatty! I am not going to have it open to reveal a GC this time, but have used it that way many times in the past. However, this time I plan to make this a Christmas card instead.

The sentiment on my card is one I have had for eons and it was just waiting to be used. It is from Verve and is in fact digital. I took some Clear Nuvo drops and glitter to my three punched hearts. My snowflakes were cut out of two different kinds of silver paper using a Martha Stewart punch. The outside of the snowflake is mirrored paper and then I just found a circle punch that was the right size for the center and for that, I used a bit of sparkle glitter paper. The fun snowflake DSP wrapping around my cup is from Stampin Up.
