Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a great week. We’ve been a little under the weather at my house this week so it’s been slow going and it’s been kind of nice to slow down! Also, I have to say it – Go Chiefs!! As a Kansas City native I can’t forget about that, lol.

The card I made with this kit was so quick to put together. I love when a kit comes with so many options of how to use the kit such as stamping, die cutting, and foiling. I chose to stamp the background and used a bit of a primary color scheme with Confetti Cake, Tropical Punch, Pineapple, and Guava. I used the Bitty Blender Brushes to add some contouring while ink-blending the mugs and then stamped extra details using the accessory stamp set.

To make this card:

  1. Stamp the background stamp on Sugar Cube with Tropical Punch.
  2. Line up Stencil 1 and ink blend with Pineapple ink.
  3. Line up Stencil 2 and ink blend with Confetti Cake ink.
  4. Line up Stencil 3 and ink blend with Guava ink.
  5. Using Guava ink stamp various images from the accessory stamp set on the mugs.
  6. Trim 5/8″ off of the background panel, vertically.
  7. Die cut a banner from Tropical Punch using Stitched Banner Stacklets (make sure your sentiment will fit on the banner).
  8. Stamp the sentiment and coffee/tea steam using Versamark ink then heat emboss with White Detail Embossing Powder. Trim the banner to fit on the card front.
  9. Die cut the tall coffee cut die from Pineapple and stamp with a heart using Guava ink.
  10. Cut the 1/4″ Easy Strips from Pineapple and Guava cardstock. Glue down one of each on the left edge of the banner. Attach all of the pieces to a Confetti Cake cardbase using foam tape.
