Happiness is Love, Coffee & A Friend

Hello and welcome!

I was able to get one more card made today with a few more started.  But Zoe, the puppy needed more attention so I stopped to play with her!

This card was made for the 2018 Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.

I used a new to me die called Simon Says Stamp Hearts Alive.  I had used it for a previous card on some inked yardstick so I used the cut out hearts from that one to insert into one of the dies I cut from Your Next Stamp "Crazy for Coffee" patterned paper.  After inserting them, I stamped the "Love" from Simon Says Stamp "Beautiful Flowers."  I cut the die out of a piece of white card stock and then backed it with tape so I could add the inserted pieces, hearts and patterned paper pieces.  

I added the sentiment "Happiness is coffee & a friend" is from A Jillian Vance Design stamp set called "Simply Said Perk Up."  I used brown Versafine Clair ink.

I added lots of Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to all the hearts.  I added the whole piece to the front of a folded card then used an MFT edge die to cut the front of the card shorter than the back.

I took another piece of the coffee cup paper and added it to the inside of the card, then added a brown strip of card stock to give it a cleaner edge.  I can write my note on the top half of the card now.

Here's what the inside looks like:

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my coffee card!

Have a great rest of your weekend!
