Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Our March Guest, Melissa is back with us!

Hello to all you coffee-loving fans! Melissa here again, and I’m excited to be the guest designer for March. I’ve been crafting for most of my life, and my favorite activities include coloring with pencils or markers, as well as creating die-cut embellishments for cards and other paper crafts. You can follow me on Instagram @melissaoeters and find me on Facebook as thecolorqueen.

I started by die-cutting out the Pixi Dust Designs mug and the eyes, eyelids, and lashes. I decided pink was my color of choice for this project. I like the biggest set of eyes and found the coordinating pieces to make flirty eyes.

Next, I used Distress Ink in Festive Berries to darken the eyelids and create a darker edge around the mug. I die-cut the coffee, lips, and the mug handle, but then decided I wanted the handle to be the same color as the mug.

Once the mug face was completed, I moved on to create the card base.

I used leftover scrap papers from Photo Play’s “Snowball Fight” and Simple Stories’ “Sunkissed,” along with black, white, and pink cardstock. The sentiment stamp from My Favorite Things’ “Coffee and Conversation” stamp set felt like a perfect match for this fun mug face.

Wishing you a brew-tiful day!
