Hello Everyone!  I wanted to show you how versatile the Coffee Love Stamp Set is and how you can use it to make a mixed media card for ANY occasion.  This FAB set doesn’t have to be about just coffee!  I see myself using this sentiment ALL the time!

Here is my card:

The butterfly is tissue paper that is mod podged to a piece of chipboard and swiped Silks Paint over it around the edges and on the body of the butterfly.  I cut it to size and rounded the corners.

The yellow BG has molding paste that I applied with a stencil.  After it was dry, I dipped my paintbrush is Silks Acryllic paint and LOTS of water and flicked paint spots across the yellow BG.  LOVE this look!  So artsy!

Here is a photo of other stamps I used in this Coffee Love Stamp set:

Notice that they are not all lined up perfectly.  THAT’s on purpose to give it that mixed media flair!

And HERE is a photo of my new FAV sentiment:

I not only stamped the sentiment but I added a strip of the line stamp.  It adds that “feel” of ribbon without making it too bulky to mail.  Then I hand cut my double layered banner.

I hope you like my card and I hope you add this Coffee Love Stamp Set to your shopping cart!  You will LOVE it!

Thanks for stopping by for another Saturday Creation!

For my Saturday Creations post, I decided to make garland with three of the images from the Coffee Love Stamp Set – the coffee cup, the winking smiley face, and the heart. I created the following gift crate with a matching card:

I made this for a friend who LOVES to chat over a good cup of coffee!

Here is a close up of the garland I strung on the crate.

 Here is a close up of the card:

Not only did I hang some garland on the top, but I added twine to the bottom of the card as well to balance it out.

Here is a close up of one of the FAB sentiments in the stamp set. I added a tiny heart to mimic the heart on the coffee band (which I crimped so it would look like the real thing).

I wanted to point out two things in this photo. First, I made the coffee lid by stamping with Versamark and clear embossing on black so it would look like plastic.

 Second, I made the garland by punching out the images with two different sized circle punches and then sandwiching them on the twine (after running them through a Xyron machine to make them super sticky).

The circles went with the polka dot motif ( on the coffee mugs) and it was much easier than cutting them out!

I hope you like my “Out of the Box” creation with this Fantastic Stamp Set called Coffee Love!
