Coffee is Always a Good Idea!

Hi there!  We made it to the weekend – hooray!  Do you have crafty plans?  I wish I did, but I’m a Girl Scout troop leader, and we’re in the middle of cookie season.  I only hope the weather cooperates.  Last year, we stood in the sleet and snow – not fun, let me tell ya!  Anyway, on to today’s card.

I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment, especially during cookie season!  I stamped this cute image from Newton’s Nook Designs’ Newton Loves Coffee with Versafine and colored it with Zig Clean Color markers before cutting it out.  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and rounded the corners.  I popped up Newton on top with foam tape and added some coffee beans from the set.

The background was embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, and then I lightly inked the coffee cups before adhering it to my card.  The patterned papers are from Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar paper pack.  I attached a strip of the heart paper to the card, added my banners, and popped up the stamped panel on top.  This card came together so quickly, and I’m quite tickled with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous weekend; I’m off to sell some cookies!

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:  Inky Paw Challenge 40, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:  Young at Heart, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Cute, and Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 268-269.
