Today I'm sharing a coffee-themed card. I think this will be suitable for a man; do you agree?
Dies: STAMPlorations Java Great Day Phrase Die - CUTplorations, STAMPlorations Bloomtangled 1 Cover Plate - CUTplorations (used as embossing folder)
Patterned paper: Wilson and MacLagan
The original digital image contains a pair of cups but I wanted just one cup, so I did some fussy-cutting after enlarging the image and paper-piecing with patterned paper. I dry-embossed the kraft panel using a die (STAMPlorations Bloomtangled 1 Cover Plate - CUTplorations) for some added texture.
Once again I am joining the celebration over at STAMPlorations for their fifth anniversary! Shery and her team are having a big party this month, and you won't want to miss it!
The STAMPlorations birthday challenge is to CASE the STAMPgirls. I decided to CASE STAMPgirl Vicki's card - I fell in love with the large coffee cup and die-cut sentiment!

Hello Kitty sweetie...So glad you joined us in this challenge. Love to see your creation. My apology for taking so long to comment on this. All suddenly life became chaotic by mid year {my eldest going to college and lots of prep and paper work to help out, family gathering at my mom's place down south, few weeks away from home plus travels and not best part is my laptop crashed after moments of slowing down on me that I had to use my tab which was a struggle many times. Anyway, my husband gifted me a new laptop on my birthday recently. I'm so grateful to him and feel blessed. So that was the reasons of my silence from blog land. But nevertheless I'm so excited to communicate with you now. Have a good day Kitty and I hope to see more of your gorgeous creations in the upcoming challenges this October. Happy creating!
Hugs and smiles,
