Coffee, Craft, Repeat ....

... Good afternoon! It was a gorgeous day yesterday. Started off a bit grey, but by the afternoon we had temperatures in excess of 20ºC, not typical for early April. I was able to go out for my walk and enjoy the sun and birds - it was lovely. In the morning I spent some time working on my Day-by-Day Dyalog - photos to come soon. This morning I tidied my craft space - so nice to see a clear desk, rather then all the stash covering it. Here's the card I made:

Stamps: Altenew - Coffee Love, Coffee Talk, Coffee Ring
Inks: Kaleidacolor - Cappuccino Delight
Dies: Die-namics - Cross-stitched Circle Stax #2 and #3
Accessories: White Card; SU Card and DP - Early Espresso

I've got lots of coffee themed stamp sets (well, I love coffee) so I thought it would be good to play along with the new Caffeine Fueled Paper Play - CLC#04, and I've used the sketch from this week's Freshly Made Sketches - FMS#429.

I started by creating my own background paper using lots of little coffee themed images, and stamping in the appropriately names, cappuccino delight ink! I cut a piece to size and adhered it to the front of my card. I added a thin strip of dark brown card to finish it. I used dies to cut two patterned circles from early espresso design paper and stamped a fun sentiment on the white circle. I adhered the two patterned panels flat to the card and used dimensional pads to attach the middle circle. I finished the front by adding a fun sentiment which continues inside the card with the word "coffee" 😀😁😀 I also stamped a coffee ring and layered the white panel on more of the brown design paper.

That's all from me today - hope to see you again soon. Stay home, keep safe.
