TEA OR COFFEE?

Today I’m joining in with the gals from the Freshly Brewed Blog Hop.

Perfect name for the blog hop given this week’s theme! So what is your prefence – tea or coffee?

I start my day with a couple of cups of tea and move onto coffee a little later. Dare I say, I used to drink far more coffee that I do now.

I decided to make a coffee shaker card for this challenge – and, yes, that’s real instant coffee in the jar.

I have used a Crumb Cake card base. The smaller layer, in the same colour, has had Soft Suede ink flicked onto it. Then I ‘stamped’ the coffee cup rings using the base of a sponge dauber.

The coffee beans, from the PRESS ON STAMP SET, were stamped in Soft Suede, as well, onto a piece of Whisper White card. Then it was passed through my amazing STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE using the OLD WORLD 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER.

Using the JAR PUNCH, I created the space to adhere the MASON JAR SHAKER DOME to the white layer. Once I added some coffee I placed a piece of WINDOW SHEET over the back of the dome to hold it in place.

The two stamped and embossed coffee cups were cut from the jar shape. The cup shape is from the LOVE YOU MORE THAN DIES. The third cup was cut from a piece of DSP from the NEUTRALS 6″x 6″ BUNDLE.

I also stamped the jar lid using the JAR OF FLOWERS STAMP SET. A bit of fussy cutting and the lid is ‘off the jar’.

The final part of the card is the sentiment which is from the NOTHING’S BETTER THAN STAMP SET.

I used my trimmer to cut some of the sentiment and fussy cut the rest.

Now it’s time for a coffee.

Make sure you look at all the projects shared today. Here is a list of those hopping along today.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

ANOTHER COFFEE CAPSULE GIFT BOX

When I saw the colour of the Starbuck’s coffee capsules, I wanted to use some Cajun Craze card stock to make a gift box to hold them. I also wanted to use a sheet of DSP from the GILDED AUTUMN SPECIALTY DSP PACK – the piece with a Cajun Craze background and copper foil features.

The gift box holds three capsules.

I used the PRESS ON STAMP SET for the elements on the front of the box. The take away cup was fussy cut and an extra layer, stamped with coffee beans, was added.

I enjoy making gift boxes – do you? What is your favourite style of gift box?

CHOCOLATE COATED COFFEE BEANS

When I found this packet of chocolate coated coffee beans I knew that I wanted to pop them in a gift box to give to someone as a special treat – is there a better way to enjoy coffee and chocolate.

And, I knew that using the new PRESS ON STAMP SET would be perfect.

Noosa Natural Choc Co Roasted Coffee Beans in Premium Milk Chocolate 100g

Who would you give this gift box to?

The new ACETATE CARD BOXES, in the 2020-2021 ANNUAL CATALOGUE, can be used for more than holding cards.

I used the GILDED AUTUMN SPECIALTY DSP to create the belly band to wrap around the box.

And EARLY ESPRESSO is the perfect name for the colour of the FAUX SUEDE RIBBON – and perfect for chocolate coated coffee beans.

I think I would have a latte and enjoy the chocolates.

What would be your beverage of choice?
