Hey, Hey, Happy Friday! The best day of the week is always better when Coffee hops are involved am I right? Lucky for you, this is one of those weeks. CLC is collaborating with STAMPlorations! And of course it comes along with PRIZES and a SALE! Read on to learn more.
You should have arrived here from the fabulous Kerry Urbatch's blog. If not, I recommend you can go back to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog to start from the beginning.
Here is my card for today's hop:
This card features the most awesome Zen Coffee 2 cover plate! This plate is swoon-worthy and offers so many possibilities! I wanted to use it with a rainbow of colors but didn't want to be prescriptive about what color went where. So my strategy involved cutting this plate in 7, that's right, SEVEN different colors. I started by cutting the first five layers. I wanted the pink layer in the front so I poked out pretty much every cut out. I continued to cut and poke out pieces randomly, leaving more in with each layer. When I was able to get the first five layers as I wanted them I adhered them together. I then decided I needed more indigo and purple, so I cut them and added the pieces in randomly. Once I had the basic structure I stamped the sentiment from the Coffee Happy stamp set onto a bit of vellum. I cut it into a small square and added it over my cup. Wahlah! Happiness in a Cup!
