I created and shared this coffee-colored card earlier so today I’m going a little bright and colorful! 🙂
I created a long and skinny card with a little bit of masking for my stacked cups! To start I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4″ by 8.” Then I stamped the first mug on the top using intense black ink. I also stamped it on a post-it note and fussy cut it. Then I masked the top mug with the post-it note and stamped the next mug below. I repeated the masking process and stamped four additional mugs. I also stamped the little accents that (to me) make it seem like my cups are wobbly! 😉
Next I masked off the top part of the card and blended a little weathered wood distress ink onto the bottom to ground my cups. Then I colored each mug with a trio of copics to create a little shading. Finally I added a heat-embossed sentiment flag on black cardstock to finish the card! Generally that’s the amount of coffee I need to get through the day (though I tend to avoid the five-high stack!) 😉

I love the cups!!
Love your cups and sentiment! Fabulous kit.
Hi, Jessica; thanks for sharing! Most coffee/tea themes bring out all the shades of brown, which I love; but it’s refreshing to see a card with bright colors too. And I love how the stack isn’t perfectly straight – just how coffee should be lol!
What a great colourful card – a winner in my book I just love it. Thank you
What a great kit – so many occassions that they will fit!
Love your tall skinny coffee card using this month’s kit!
Such a fun card, Jessica! I like how you made the cups look like they are wobbling!

I am so loving this kit!!! This would be an amazing kit to own… especially since I live in a coffee loving part of the country… Washington state.
Coffee themed cards are my favorite! I really like all the colorful cups. Great kit this month!
FUN card with lots of color. I love the coffee shop window scene die in this release.
reminds me when i was i kid, i asked my mom how many cups of coffee she had in one day…yup, she said five. (worked two jobs back then, gotta love her) guess who’s getting a card soon….

LOVE your colorful stacked cups! Yay, coffee…and yes, sometimes it takes this many cups to get my started!!
I do get the feel of wobbly feel of the cups when looking at your card. Love it!

Coffee or Tea always a good topic on a card in my eyes ;o)
