Happy Friday!! I am celebrating today with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's Blog for their Spring/Summer Blog Hop!
I created a card with the CAS-Friday's new Coffee Chips chipboard. It is available NOW in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store.
I started off my card by using the By the Beans Stencil and Ground Espresso Distress Ink to create a background.
When I was done stenciling, I ran the stencil and my stenciled background through my die cut machine to dry emboss the panel. This gave the stenciling a slightly raised look as you can see in the photo below.
I then adhered my background to an A2, top folding card base. This card was inspired by last weeks Freshly Made Sketches #435 so I adhered some paper strips from my scrap card as indicated by the sketch below. If you are new to my blog, I often use sketches when making most of my cards. Some are from challenges, others I create myself.
Next I used the Coffee'isms stamp set to to stamp part of my sentiment with red ink onto a circle die cut.
I adhered the circle to my card front using foam adhesive to give it a little pop.
The "latte" sentiment is from the new Coffee Chips chipboard, which I inked with Ground Espresso Distress Ink to match the background, before adhering under the stamping.
My last step was to adhere a chipboard heart that I had covered with Candy Apple Distress Ink, Aqua Shimmer Pen and some Glossy Accents.
I had so much fun putting this card together and I hope that you like it!! Hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog to see more great coffee cards from the design team.

I like the pop of red you added! This is terrific Nora!
What better ink blend could there be than Ground Espresso?! Fabulous coffee bean card, Nora!
Fab stencilled background Nora - and a great take on that sketch. I didn't think it was an easy one!
The simplicity of your card is fabulous! Thank you for sharing
This is sooo eye-catchingly lovely! You've got me adding a coffee bean stencil to my paper crafting wishlist now. My DH and sister are both hues java lovers, so I think I could justify investing in one on those (coffee) grounds alone. :D
