Happy Birthday Coffee Card

Hi everone and Happy 2016!  I'm still trying to get used to the idea that 2015 is gone!  Boy it was a fast year for me!.  My 2016 goal is to try and live more in the moment.  Ive started meditating (just...only a day) so we'll see if it makes a difference.    I'll let you know.

Today's card is using the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Collection.



Items Used:
  • Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk Collection
  • Sizzix Tim Holtz Mini Movers and Shapers Tea/Coffee Cup
  • Hot Off the Press Circles and Scallops Die Set
  • Gold Pearls
  • Vellum (for the "steam")
  • Swirly Stamp, sentiment stamp - don't remember the brand
  • Satin Card Stock in blue and gold
I cut the coffee cup border longer than the card.  I attached each end to the card and then added a glue dot in the middle and attached the middle too. This gave my border a dimensional wave.

I attached my coffee cup with foam tape. I hadn cut the vellum to resemble steam and attached to the back side of the cup.  The cup is stamped on the front with Staz On in black.

The satin card stock:
My most recent find came through the Create and Craft TV (I watch it on my PC.)  I saw it advertised and decided to take a chance on it.  Its really beautiful.  It's like a foiled card stock but has a brushed satin finish. It's different than everything else.  It cuts well with thin dies and stamps well too (keep in mind that it is a slippery surface).  I really love the effect I get when I emboss with it.
Have a great day!
