Coffee Break Monday with Mary: Stay Calm and Grind On

Happy Monday, or should I say Cyber Monday. I am thrilled to share this cheerful and uplifting card featuring an adorable bear holding a coffee cup.

Recently at school, we have been reading lots of books about bears and hibernation. One of the books we read was “Bear Snores On“. Such a cute book! I highly recommend this picture book for your young readers. This book was just one of the inspirations for my card.

Also, my “baby bear” had a birthday recently. I created this card for her. The past year has thrown her a lot of challenges, but she keeps grinding on. I wanted to design a card that would encourage her and make her smile.

Waffle Flower had the perfect dies! I love the Intertwined Bear Hugs die set! I only used one of the bears to design this fun opening card.

The large sentiment is actually a rub on from This Calls for Confetti “Coffee Rub”. This is the first time I’ve ever used a rub on, and now I’m a fan. Super quick and easy. I really like the gold tone and the font too! Have you used rub ons?

I never thought I would combine bears and coffee, but I’m loving this caffeinated cutie!

    That bear is adorable with his cuppa and the swirling butterflies. The book, “Bear Snores On” is one of my favs also!
