Coffee Lovers.......

Hello my crafty friends and Happy Monday!!!! Today it's all about the Coffee. Actually, everyday is all about Coffee for me because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Coffee, LOL! And that is why I just had to stop everything and play with the new Shoptastic Cuties Coffee files from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

My first card is created using the Shopstastic Cuties - Togo Coffee Cutie which you can find here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60&products_id=1138

The second card is created using the Shoptastic Cuties - Coffee Pot Cutie which you can find here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60&products_id=1139

And the third card was created using the Shoptastic Cuties - Coffee Cup Cutie which can be found here: http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60&products_id=1140

All three cards measure 4.5" x 6.75" and are made using Bazzill & ReCollections card stock.  I uploaded the svg file to my Cricut Explore and cut out each piece. Once all pieces were cut, I chalked each one using Color Box Chalk Inks (Creamy Brown, Gray Whale, Blackbird, Aquamarine, Rose Coral, Maroon & Dark Brown) as well as Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tea Dye) and Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks (Shimmer Shades).  Once all pieces were chalked, I adhered them together using Art Glitter Glue and added some highlights to each using a white Gelly Roll pen.

To create my card base, I cut out a mat (4.5" x 6") using ReCollections card stock. I used a stamp from Craftin' Desert Divas "Got Coffee" stamp set to create my coffee blotches. I stamped these using Stampin' Up - Baked Brown Sugar stamp pad.

For my sentiments, I used my Cricut Explore to write them using the Cricut Alphabet font with the "Candy Crystal" Cricut pen.  I then used the Craftin' Desert Divas Banner Dies to cut out each sentiment. I adhered them onto a larger oval shape created using Bazzill card stock. I adhered a 3/8" ribbon that I had in my stash to each card and attached the sentiment to it.  For my final touch, I added a few Rhinestone Gems to the ribbon.

And there you have it - These cards were so much fun to make and super easy as well.  I hope you enjoyed my creation for today and hope to see you all again soon. Thanks for stopping by!!
