Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Today's the day we all get to rejoice in the wonderment that is coffee!!  How much do I love thee, let me count the ways.  Well, that would take far too long!  I am blessed to be in the company of tons of other amazing coffee lovers and card makers.  What a great mix so make sure you check out all the amazing creations all along the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop.  Here's the card I created for this super fun hop.  Here's my card for this fun hop:

I knew I wanted to create something cheerful and rainbow when I got ready to create this card!  Luckily, I had the perfect paper that I had been hoarding with rainbows and clouds.  I grabbed this fun paper and cut my mug out using the Coffee Talk 2 Die Set.  Next, I started building my cardbase adding a touch of stitching with the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles to a cool black and white striped paper.  I added a pink border to ground my cup and use as a place for my sentiment using the Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles.  I added my coffee cup but thought it needed a little more rainbow pop.  So, I cut a rainbow out of the paper and popped it in place with some foam tape.  Next, I got to work on the sentiments.  The "Happy Birthday" comes form the Coffee Cozy Stamps.  I felt I had too much blank space with only the small sentiment so I grabbed some alphabet sticker packs that had sentiment strips along the bottom.  I added sentiments that went with the birthday idea and the colors of my card.  I finished it all off with a puffy heart sticker.  Here's a closer look:
