Hello Everyone,

Just in case you wonder what makes me so creative, I made a card to answer your question 😀 Made it especially for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I started with die cutting the Simon Says Stamp Coffee cup 4 times from Ranger Distress watercolour paper. I adhered 3 layers together and inked up the 4th one with Distress ink (Barn Door) in an ombre way before gluing it on top of the others. The little heart I inked with some blue distress ink too.

I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and I used the MFT Sunray stencil to add colour to it. Then I used some cute stitched swirls dies from Paper Smooches for the steam. I also die cut the Coffee word die (Your Next Stamp) from black cardstock and using an Elizabeth Crafts Designs mini stamp set I stamped the rest of the sentiment on the left corner with some blue ink (Altenew).

I wanted something special to the edge of my focal panel, so I used a pretty border die from Memory Box and also adhered a skinny strip of Cornflower blue patterned paper above to anchor the blues I used on my card.

I used a black and white striped washi tape on the bottom of a white card base and I used 3D foam tape to mount my stencilled panel. After placing the cup in its place, I used some Sunshine sequins (Simon Says Stamp) to embellish the card.

I will upload this card also to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Stencil it, and to the Wednesday Challenge Anything goes.

I hope you like my card and will return soon for more 😉

See you,

Zsofi
