Coffee Cafe'

That's the title of the value pack of cards and envelopes I
purchased from Hobby Lobby when they were on sale for half price. 
Then I pulled out all my coffee related saying stamps. I found some that I thought would go with them!
  The card above is made by Cuttlebugging the red card stock with the music embossing folder...seem odd with coffee??? The saying inside says "COFFEE RUN".
 Get it??? Music ...run!
 The coffee cup is from Hero Arts. I stamped it first on white and then on kraft paper. I trimmed out both, layered and foam taped onto the front of the card.
 Ziggy, by Stampendous, was perfect for the saying inside, "I don't do mornings ..until I have my coffee"!

I saved the best for last. I had a set, sorry I don't remember what company, had a saying that was fine but I needed it to be split in half. So I cut it in half!

I dug through my "people" stamps and found two from Art Impressions, that I thought would be perfect with the saying! Below are the views of the front of the card and the inside.
 Outside!
 Inside!
Have a wonderful day and don't forget your cup of coffee!

Happy Valentine's Day


Above is an example of three cards I made for a class I taught at our local library.
The top card is made with stamps I found at Micheal's, with patterned paper and circle punches for the saying. Quick simple and fun!
The card on the left is made with a three flower stamp from Stamps by Judith. I didn't ink the flower part, but added hearts instead of the flowers. More punches and the red background is made with my Cuttlebug and the pin dot embossing folder.
The final card was done with my Cuttlebug for the background using the heart embossing folder. The heart was cut using the Sizzix heart. I cut one in red and one in white for the center with the saying!
Have fun preparing for Valentine's Day!
