Another card for the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

A few days ago I posted a card for the  2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  Well, here is another which is the same basic design, but different coffee stamp and colors.




 
 Happy Friday and stay warm!!

Vellum Christmas Trees

As part of an unfinished card swap I was sent a piece of vellum with bright green trees and a decorated tag and ribbon.  I have not used vellum paper before so I browsed Pinterest looking for ideas.

I like the idea of vellum and will look into how to use it.  The vellum piece is adhered to the basic green card with double-sided clear tape.  There must be a better way as the tape shows through the vellum.  To cover the edges of the vellum and green card stock, I place a strip of green shiny Washi tape. 

An easy and simple card and I like it!




Happy Tuesday!

2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Love this blog hop!  It is always a challenge to come up with a coffee related card though one would think it would be easy.  I think and think and think of ideas and different ways of using plain paper, printed paper, stamps and dies.

Well, this time I decided I would do a flat card instead of the usual folded card.  I added a pretty snow flake on red background piece to a white base.  I stamped two coffee cups on another piece of pretty card stock and fuzzy cut the cups.  The bottom of the cup piece is glued to the white but the edges are loose so the gift card can be placed behind the cups.  The red and white twine adds a bit of color and holds the gift card in place (two birds...).

The green gift card adds even more color to the card.  I tried one of my coffee shop gift cards, but it was white and the card looked really dull and boring.
