Hello friends. Here’s a cute coffee-themed Valentine’s Day card created using only dies and very minimal stamping. Great for the coffee lover in your life! Let me show you how I made this card.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 10 and scored at 5″ to create an A7 card base. I cut a piece of Honey Bee Stamps Giddy For Gingham Paper Pad 6 x 8.5” to 4-3/4 x 6-3/4″.

I die cut the coffee cup from the Lawn Fawn Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder out of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and then embossed it using the Darice Wire Fence Embossing Folder, and the lid out of Strawberry Cheesecake Flowers Two Scoops Bazzill Cardstock. I die cut the sleeve from Lawn Fawn 8.5 x 11 Kraft Cardstock and then used one of vertical striped Embossing Folders from Queen and Company to add texture. And the heart was die cut from some Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock.

For the donuts, I used Trinity Stamps Tiny Donut Dipper Die Set with Lawn Fawn 8.5 x 11 Kraft Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp 100lb Cotton Candy Cardstock, Early Espresso 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Stampin’ Up! Mint Macaron 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock (retired), Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, and Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the coffee cup lid. I used Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake Ink along with Honey Bee LATTE and Sugar Pea Designs Espresso Yourself (retired) Stamp Sets.

I finished off the card by adding some sparkle to the heart with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen and Tonic Gloss Simply White Nuvo Crystal Drops.

On the inside of the card, added a strip of the same pattern paper as the front panel cut to 1 x 5″, and another donut.

Using Up Scraps to Create A Background feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. For this card, I thought I’d use up some of my patterned paper scraps. You can easily make a quick and impactful background using strips of cardstock and pattern papers. I used the Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate to create my focal image but as you’ll see I did a little something different to it to make it work for this card!

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 100lb Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. I cut strips of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper and Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper and adhered them on a diagonal onto the card base, trimming off any excess.

I die cut the Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate (included in the Boo Box) 3x from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and cut off about half of each panel to create my window strip. Behind the panel I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 100lb Cardstock and ran it through my die cut machine with the Darice Woodgrain Embossing Folder Background. I also used some CP Spiced Ink to add some color over the raised areas of the panel.

I stamped the several leaves from the Stampin’ up! Colorful Seasons Stampset (retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP It’s a Girl, Samba, Sauna, Spiced, Green Tea, Eucalyptus, and Wintergreen inks. And cut them using the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Spiced Ink. I used the coordinating dies for the ‘autumn’ and hand trimmed the ‘hello’. I also die cut a banner from the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banner set (I think this may get discontinued soon) from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored the border with Eucalyptus ink.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and two pieces of Catherine Pooler Designs Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4″ and 1-1/4 x 4″. I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments with CP Spiced and Eucalyptus Inks and some more leaves.
