Treat Yo' Self Coffee Card

It's time for the spring Coffee Loving Cardmaker Blog Hop! This is an extremely popular event and there are prizes to be won!

The colors were inspired by The Paper Players Challenge #286. I discovered I did not have Bermuda Bay cardstock or matching ink pad so used Tempting Turquoise as a substitute.

The front of the card base was stamped with the "steam" image then texture embossed with diagonal stripes. A scalloped heart and then a smaller classic heart were die cut and adhered. The scallops were decorated with white dots and a touch of the turquoise was added using Candy Dots. The coffee cup and lid were die cut. The cup sleeve was die cut and stamped with the sentiment and flowers. The cup was popped up with foam. The inside of the card was

lined with a panel of white cardstock stamped with the same flowers and the expression, "Life begins after coffee."

Take a look at the blogs for CLC and PP286!
