Coffee!!!!!!

My favourite addiction!  Here are a couple of cute coffee inspired cards to brighten your day.  Now let it be known I also do like tea but more as a peaceful "ceremony" type event - tea with my girlfriends using nice china and pretty cakes. I also drink green tea for digestion and relaxation. Coffee is more my "go to" active drink.

Enough about me - on to the cards!  They both use the "morning cup" set from Stampin Up (SU).  This first one I lightly drew an arc onto the card front and stamped the mug image around it. Then gently erased the pencil mark.  I also stamped further images on some scrap.  I coloured the hearts and fussy cut the scrap images and popped up every second image on the arc.  The sentiment is stamped direct to the card front and reads - "caffeine isn't a drug it's a vitamin"


Supplies:
Paper - very vanilla c/s from SU
Stamp - "morning cup" from SU
Ink - chocolate chip stamp pad from SU, red Tombow marker
Adhesive - dimensionals

This card uses the mug image again but this time I coloured it completely.  The sentiment is popped and reads - " a morning without coffee is like sleep"  Too true!  I drew little stitch lines around the edge of the sentiment panel with a brown marker.



Supplies:
Paper - whisper white from SU
Stamp - "morning cup" from SU
Ink - early espresso stamp pad from SU, various Tombow markers
Tools - decorative label punch from SU
Adhesive - dimensionals

Well that's it for today.  Off to finish Scrapturday # 11 so I can post it tomorrow.  Had a very successful gardening stint with my friends yesterday and the yards look lovely.  My Mum has promised me some hydrangea cuttings next weekend so that is very exciting.  I love hydrangeas and mum has some truly beautiful ones in her garden.  The football game we went to last night was very entertaining and a great start was made by the newest team in the competition.  Everyone was happy and there was a great atmosphere at the stadium. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope you get some crafting time.

Happy crafting!
Cheers
Susie
