Since Kat Scrappiness is a super sponsor, and will be giving away a $25.00 gift card to the store to a lucky entry at the Coffee Lovers Hop Main Post!!!

Here is the card I created with Kat Scrappiness Products for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop on the Coffee Lovers Blog!!! The Kat Scrappiness Shop is a Super Sponsor this year!!! 

I started off my card by die creating a background with some Distress Spray Stains and Distress Mica Stains. I then die cut the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame out of white cardstock and adhered it over the top.

Next I used the Cuppa Love Shaker Dies to die cut a coffee cup from a piece of Gobble Gobble 6x6 Pattern Paper piece. I used some orange scraps to die cut a second cup and then cut those pieces off. I adhered the orange handle and the orange bottom to my tea cup. I added the cup to my card with foam adhesive.


I then die cut a tea bag out of white paper using the same dies, as well as a spoon from a scrap of mirror paper. I tucked the tea bag into the cup and created my orange tab with Distress Inks. The sugar cube was created using some white paper scraps that I covered in Glitter Glue.


I adhered the spoon to my card and a sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Simple Sentiments Bundle that I had covered in Distress Inks. The orange is die cut from white cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mason Jar Shaker Dies. I colored it in with orange Copic Markers.

My last step was to use the Kat Scrappiness Perk Up Stamps and Dies to stamp and die cut "Sip Happens." This card was SO FUN TO CREATE and I love how it came out!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #556 is ANYTHING GOES!!!


Our sponsor for Challenge #556 is The Paper Shelter. She is donating three digital stamps to a random winner of this challenge!!
