I hope all of you are having a great week so far! In honor of National Coffee Day this past
week (09/29), I am sharing another card designed using stamps, dies and paper from Stamp Simply!
I personally love the smell of coffee, but only drink one cup every week
or so. I do drink a few café latte
Protein Drinks every day though (very similar to iced coffee) and I love the
coffee flavor.
As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online
challenges and will be linking this card to the A Place To Start September 2021#9 Patterned Paper, Please Challenge, Addicted to Stamps and More #415 “Die Cuts or Stencils” Challenge (I used Die Cuts) and the Word Art Wednesday #511-#512 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous
inspiration from all!
To create this card:
For the background, ink the small subway
style text image stamp from the A Cup of Java with distress oxide inks (I randomly applied Rusty Hinge,
Ground Espresso and Spiced Marmalade over the image), repeatedly stamp onto a piece of white
cardstock and heat set with a heat tool.
Once the oxide inks dry, stamp the coffee bean
image from A Cup of Java with Ground Espresso distress oxide ink over the panel, heating with a
heat tool to speed the drying process.
Use a stencil brush to apply Antique Linen distress
oxide ink to “age” the paper, trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.
Mount a strip of the rust pattern paper from the Carta Bella
Welcome Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad onto espresso cardstock.
Die
cut a piece of white cardstock with the Tim
Holtz Crochet Die, sponge Ground Espresso distress oxide ink over the die
cut “lace”, mount behind the strip of layered designer paper.
On
a scrap piece of the light birch designer paper from the Craft
Consortium Wood Textures 6x6 Paper Pad, ink the same background stamp with
the distress oxide inks as in the steps above for the background panel, lightly
stamp over the birch paper. Heat set
with a heat tool to dry thoroughly.
Layer onto the patterned paper
strip and adhere to the card front.
Die cut the “heat swirl” from the A Cup of Java dies, adhere to the background panel.
Mount the entire background
panel onto a piece of espresso cardstock, adhere to a white card base.
Die cut the smaller coffee cup
with the coordinating A
Cup of Java dies from the fall leaves pattern in the Carta Bella
Welcome Autumn 6x6 paper pad, layer a scrap piece of the Welcome
Autumn paper and Tim
Holtz Crochet Lace die for the “wrapper”.
Mount the coffee cup fie with
dimensional foam.
To finish off the card, use a clear
glitter marker to add shimmer to the “heat swirl” and add a pearl
to the center of the coffee wrapper.

This is so sweet, Julie. I actually have both of these Stamp Simply sets, and I forget to use them sometimes. Now seeing your card, I need to pull them out to create a sweet new card with them. I love Stamp Simply SO much. Thanks for sharing your wonderful art with us at Word Art Wednesday.
Blessings,
Karen
Julie, this is so pretty - with its warm colors and touches of fall!
