For my Tuesday Morning Sketches Design Team card, see here.
Hello again! I'm back with another coffee-themed card! I've been inspired by the 2020 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. There are already over 700 link-ups and lots of amazing inspiration! Thank you to Amy and her team for organizing another fun hop! I made this card for hubby and he got a kick out of it!
I started with the background by stencilling the coffee rings and splotches with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide on a kraft panel, which I die-cut with a stitched rectangle (Gina Marie Designs) and then layered onto red cardstock. This funny image, including the sentiment, is Bugaboo Stamps Gus Tidbits Consciousness and I coloured it with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop it up on foam tape. I also fussy-cut the sentiment and adhered with foam tape.
I recycled a coffee sleeve (see photo below)! I've been wanting to use this on a card for ages and finally did! I trimmed and layered it according to the sketch below and then stamped the sentiment (Your Next Stamp Happiness is You). I also included the caution words from the coffee sleeve, which I thought were fun and worked well with the sketch. I printed the buttons in red (Scribbles Designs freebie, thank you!), fussy-cut, and adhered.
My card design was inspired by Sketch Saturday 611:

This is so fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun masculine card! What would we do without coffee (I know your not a coffee drinker so I should say coffee, tea or hot chocolate!)
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever use of the coffee sleeve, how creative. I love the card you made, the sentiment is awesome.
ReplyDeletethis is so great card!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of those coffee sleeves in my stash too. I like what you've done with it. I'm working on my Double Trouble card right now too. Great card.
ReplyDeleteThis is great Kitty. It made me laugh out loud. I am glad hubby saw the humor in it. Awesome colouring & layout sweetie.

ReplyDeleteHahaha super fun card, and great re-purpose of the coffee cup sleeve! Thanks for joining in our May challenge at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not a coffee drinker, I love that image. The sentiment is so perfect, especially for how many of us are feeling at this time. Back to my nap :)
ReplyDeleteI have some coffee sleeves stashed somewhere and I always forget to use them. Your card looks great! I think Gus needs a haircut.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Debi
Kitty this is adorable and naturally I was wondering why Gus had a mustache...now I know, lol. So glad you are joining the coffee hop.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and great recycling of the coffee sleeve.
ReplyDeletelol, this is so funny! Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to use the coffee cup wrap on your card, KT! Using a coffee rings for the background paper is really cute. Great job of coloring your androgynous coffee drinker, too. Thank you for sharing your creative "juices" with us at Double Trouble this week!!! -Donna

There are a lot of things that start with an "M" and I would not have thought of MAN. This is super funny and creative. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Double D Challenge " begins with the letter M." Good luck!

Great idea of using a kraft coffee cup sleeve for a panel on your card...fun car and great sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card Kitty! You reminded me that I have a load of coffee cup sleeves that I brought home from New Mexico to use on cards - if only I can find them of course!
