Hello everyone and Happy Saturday.
Design Team Member Michael here and I must agree with the Life Begins After Coffee stamp. I don't know about you but I cannot function or begin my day until my lips have tasted that first sip of coffee. Also, being a coffee junkie, I knew this stamp would pair perfectly with the Painted Background stamp.
- I made a top-folding A2 card using Kraft cardstock and distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
- Then I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered this to the inside of the card for a message.
- I went thru my paper stash and found a sheet with a watercolored design on it, stamped Painted Background stamp on top using Memento Tuxedo Black, die-cut it using the 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, distressed the edges with the Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and adhered this to the card front.
- I stamped Life Begins After Coffee on white cardstock, die-cut it using a deckled edge die in my stash, and adhered it to the card front using foam tape.
- Lastly, I glued 3 real coffee beans to the image. I think it makes the card even more fun.
