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!) 😉

What a great idea with the cups! I love the colors!
I especially like the use of a long narrow card for these colorful cups! Thank you for the inspiration!
This is a fun card!
Love your pretty stack of ‘wobbly’ coffee mugs – so colorful and fun! Great sentiment too!
So cute with all those cups stacked up! Nice colors and coloring. They do look like they are wobbling.

Love the colors and the shading it really lots nice and is a fresh change from coffee colors

I love the movement portrayed in your card. It looks like the cups are barely hanging on. So cute! Your color selection on this long card is awesome, too!
Love the stacked, wobbly cups. Very cute!
Those little accent stamps work perfectly to illustrate movement in your stack of cups. They look very precarious!
