Hi Everyone! Today I created a card using the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit - Coffee, Tea and Cocoa. I changed the coffee cup die up a bit. Instead of holding hearts, which is part of the die, I had the coffee cups holding donuts. Who doesn't love coffee and donuts?? Join me as I show you how I put this card together and got those cute little donuts in the hands of the coffee cups. Enjoy!
I cut a 5" x 7" piece of the kraft card stock that comes in the kit.
I cut two panels from the 6x6 patterned papers that come in the kit and chose to use a diagonal striped pattern.
I cut a scalloped frame using the Pretty Pink Posh Scalloped Frame die set.
I added a backing for the frame using Neenah Solar White 110 lb. card stock.
I cut the smaller frame from the same scalloped frame die set from the donut patterned paper that comes in the kit.
Next, I cut the frame in half.
I have all the pieces for the base panel for the card and start to put everything together. Here, I add the diagonal patterned papers to the top and bottom of the kraft 5" x 7" base.
Next, I add the frame that was cut in half as shown above.
I add the larger frame to the center of the panel adhering it with 3d foam tape to give the card a little dimension. This completes the base for my card.
I want the coffee cups to hold donuts instead of hearts because I love coffee and donuts. (Wish I could eat them every day!!) I cut out three donuts from the patterned paper as they fit perfectly in the hands of the coffee cup dies.
Here, you can see how perfectly they fit.
I add the sentiment to a small tag that comes on one of the patterned pieces of paper in the kit and stamp that on with Tree Branch Archival Ink.
Here again is the completed card. I use 3d foam tape to add the coffee cups to the left side of the inside frame and add some glitter hearts to the background that come in the kit. I love this kit and have plans to make many, many cards with it so stay tuned.
