Remember when repurposing household items to use with your card making was a thing? Maybe some of you are still doing it; admittedly, it's been a while for me. But, the packaging on my Peace Coffee was so colorful and fun, I just had to use it as a back drop for my first card. Stamped images include the coffee cup with wrap from Sweet N Sassy Stamps' new I Like Big Cups set. I also added to the tropical theme with a leaf from the Be A Flamingo set. Birthday Wordfetti for the win when it comes to sentiments! I love all the Wordfetti sets--they are super versatile!! The big bonus for this card, though, is that it smells like a coffee shop--just the way I imagine heaven smells!
My second card features water colored images from
Coffee Talk with a fun background created with images from
Texture Tiles 9. I used my MISTI to place the two cups with heart shaped steam, added an embossed verse a scrap of patterned paper to pull the color scheme together and add a bit of interest.

Love that packaging you used ~ wonderful cards!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coffee creations - I love kraft and the backgrounds on both are so fabulous TFS
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness... I love both of these cards, but I adore the tropical theme card the best; using your coffee package as the background is ingenious. So bright and colorful, and all the elements, the staples, leaf, touch of fabric and the weave textured cuzie on the cup are such special additional. And, yes, receiving a coffee card that actually smells like coffee... well what's not to love right? Thank you so much for sharing and please stay safe.
ReplyDeleteFun Coffee Cards- both are great !
