I Love You and Coffee

I love the smell of coffee but I’ve never acquired a taste for it. I’ve doused every cup I’ve ever tried with sugar and added heaps of flavored creamers and I still don’t like it. I profess to be a coffee lover – by smell. ((smile))

There are only 7 days left to purchase products from the Holiday Catalog before some of your favorites are retired. The Merry Cafe stamp set (Holiday Catalog) coordinates perfectly with the Coffee Cafe Bundle (stamp set and framelits) which are in the annual catalog. The Merry Cafe stamp set is one of the most versatile sets in the Holiday Catalog because it can be used all year long.

It’s my favorite color! That multi-loop bow is created using the Real Red Solid Ribbon (Holiday Catalog). This thin, sheer ribbon makes it easy to work with and not too bulky for mailing.

I die cut the coffee cup from the Champagne Foil Sheets (Holiday Catalog) using the Coffee Cups Framelits. I wanted to frame the cup but even the largest Stitched Shapes framelit was too small. To problem solve I die cut two, cut them in half and overlapped them to make a longer frame. The connection is well hidden behind the heart banner. If you aren’t sure how to die cut shapes into a frame I have a quick tip video tutorial you can view HERE.

The Merry Cafe also includes numerous small pieces making them perfect to stamp on the cup or for backgrounds, borders and envelopes. Check out all the pieces included in this 29-piece photopolymer stamp set by clicking on the image in the supply list below. Any card, any occasion – this stamp set has it all – whether you’re a coffee lover or not.
