Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Happy Friday! Megan Cooper is back with us today, check out her fabulous project.

You are the cream in my coffee for this fine Friday! Today’s card features the Coffee Break stamp set from super sponsor Whimsy Stamps. This is my go-to coffee set in my coffee themed stamps stash.

I picked up a small guillotine trimmer this past weekend and decided I wanted to make a strip card with it. While I do have a few strip dies, the sound of chopping strips up from scraps is just so satisfying. I cut two widths of strips to give the card interest. I used the Crimped Frame Die from the Greetery to cut out the background layer, it adds a finished look to the background.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white Wow! embossing powder directly on the strip background. I also heat embossed the heart on a piece of the green colored card stock and fussy cut it to place next to the sentiment.

Does this card need splatters, no it does not. But I love them, so I added white Copic opaque white splatter around the coffee cup and Walnut Stain Distress Ink on the sleeve of the coffee cup. This card has a nice masculine vibe to it would be perfect for that special someone.
