More coffee projects created with Coffee Cafe

Item #143677

Item #143745

This week I am featuring the stamp set Coffee Cafe and coordinating framliets, Coffee Cups.  Soon, this stamp set and framelits will be retiring and I wanted to give  you one last chance to see all of the wonderful projects you can create with it. 

The treats I created for today's post can be given  as teacher appreciation gifts, to service providers, friends and co workers.  I like how simple they are to create, but they definitely show that I care about the person I am giving them to.


For this project, I purchased some of my favorite iced coffee drinks.

Here's how I created this project:

  1.  Stamp the coffee cup onto whisper white cardstock, and cut out using the coffee cup framelits, then I colored the cup using my stampin' blends markers.  I used light and dark crumb cake and dark soft suede markers. 
  2. cut a piece of crumb cake cardstock to 2" x 4 1/4" to create a tag, and punched the top using the Scalloped Tag Topper (item #1133324)
  3. Stamp random coffee beans onto the tag using soft suede ink
  4. Adhere the coffee cup to the front of the tag
  5. Stamp the whipped topping onto whisper white cardstock using smoky slate ink.  Attach this piece to the top of the coffee cup on the front of the tag.
  6. Cut the cardboard sleeve using Early Espresso cardstock and adhere to the front of the cup.
  7. Stamp the "thanks a latte" image onto whisper white cardstock and cut using the oval framelit.  Attach this piece to the front of the cardboard sleeve.
  8. Tie a box using the linen thread and attach to the coffee cup as shown.
  9. Use a piece of Polka Dot Tulle ribbon (item #146912) to tie the tag to the front of the coffee drink as shown.



For this project, I used a Lindt chocolate bar that I found at my local Target store. 

Here's How I created this project:

  1. Cut a piece of crumb cake cardstock to 2" x 3".  Score on the 3" side at 1 1/2".  Fold in half and burnish. 
  2. Cut the various coffee cup pieces and set aside.
  3. Put the chocolate bar into a 2" x 8" cellophane bag (item #141703)
  4. Using a small stapler, staple the crumb cake card piece over the edge of the cello bag to create a tag topper.
  5. Attach the coffee cup piece to the front of the tag using dimensionals.
Don't forget that this stamp set and framelits will be retiring when the new catalog goes live on June 4th, 2019.  If you would like to purchase this set, please visit my online store today.  You can visit my store by clicking below.

Join me for coffee?



Happy Happy Wednesday to you.  Today's Facebook Live is all about Coffee.  Are you a coffee drinker?  I didn't use to be.  I have always loved the smell of coffee, but the taste was way too bitter.  Then, one day I was introduced to Speedway make your own flavor coffee.  Do you have a speedway gas station near you?  You really must try it.  I'm not sure how, but I ended up with 1/2 caramel latte and 1/2 vanilla cappuccino.  I could have the technical names mixed up.  Either way, it's 1/2 caramel and 1/2 vanilla.  Now, if this drink were ever broken down by scientists, I'm pretty sure there is very little coffee even in this drink, so probably I am really drinking just flavored creamer.  And I'm ok with that.  It's delicious. 

Well, so all of that brings us to Wednesday's Facebook Live.  Which, by the way I am live every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. over on my Facebook Page.  I would love for you to follow me on my page.  You can do that by clicking here:  Stamp It With Debbie Facebook Page.  Don't forget to click on the FOLLOW button so you never miss a post. 

If you missed today's live, here's a replay for you to watch. Just click on the image below.   It's all about coffee.  And today I'm giving you just a few ways to use this set, but there are so many.  I'll have a few more ideas to share with you later in the week. 





Did you catch the part in the video where I mentioned that this stamp set will soon be retiring?????  I can hardly believe it, but I do know that Stampin' Up! has lots of wonderful new product coming, and they have to make room for it all in the new catalog, so something has to go. But the good news is, if you NEED this stamp set, and I know you do, you can still get it.  Hop on over to my online store and place your order today.

A Scrapbook layout and one more card featuring Beach Happy


This week I am sharing a few projects made with the Beach Happy stamp set, and I thought I would share something that I don't normally share.  A Scrapbook layout.  The image above is another card that I designed using the Beach Happy stamp set, Seaside embossing folder and my favorite, Coastal Cabana cardstock.  Doesn't this card just make you feel so relaxed and happy? 
This week I wanted to share a scrapbook layout with you.  I haven't done scrapbooking in a long time, but now that I am home from Florida, I'm trying to get reorganized and get my photos all caught up and into albums.  Oh, yes, and I have that new grandbaby that I need to stay caught up on too with her album. 
 
I started with a 12" x 12" piece of whisper white cardstock.  I made my Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana pieces (shown below) 3" wide, so I drew my lines on the 12" x 12" piece at 3/4", 4 1/2",         8 1/4" and 11 1/4",.  This left 3/4 of an inch in between each of the pieces.
 
 
I cut the Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana pieces at 3" x 5 1/2" each.  I cut 4 pieces of Bermuda Bay and 2 pieces of Coastal Cabana. Once these pieces are attached, use an eraser to remove the pencil lines. 
 
I cut 3 pieces of whisper white to mount my pictures on .  The pieces of white are 3" x 5", and two pieces at 2 1/2 x 2 1/2".  I used the largest layering scalloped square to cut a frame for one of the 2 1/2" pieces using Poppy Parade cardstock.  I cut a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock to 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" to layer under the 3" x 5" piece of whisper white.

I used the Large Letter framelits to cut the word BEACH using coastal cabana cardstock, then attached them using tombow liquid adhesive. 
 
I used the stamp set Swirly Bird  and Beach Happy to stamp images onto the layout. 

Ink colors used are Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede and Sahara Sand.

Facebook Live Featuring Beach Happy


During the month of May, I will be featuring Stampin' Up! product that will be retiring when the new catalog comes out on June 3rd.  There are so many great sets that will be retiring, and I don't want you to miss out if there's something that you love, but you missed when looking through the catalog.  That does happen, believe it or not.  As I was marking up my catalog to know which products were retiring, I found a set that I love that I didn't even know we had. Needless to say, that set is now on my wish list. 

This week during Facebook Live, I featured the stamp set Beach Happy.  It has been rainy and dreary here in Michigan, so I was more than happy to create with a stamp set that reminded me that summer days are just around the corner. 

Did you know that every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m, over on my Facebook Page, I do a live demonstration of current product?  If you would like to join us, click here now and then click on the follow button so you will receive a reminder notice and future notifications.  Stamp It With Debbie Facebook

Weekly Update from Stamp It With Debbie

 
 
Happy May to you! Where did April go so quickly?  This month has been a crazy whirlwind for me and it seems like I just can't catch up.  My daughter has returned to work from her maternity leave and I have been helping her out watching my new granddaughter a few days a week.    She will start going to her daycare mid May. They wanted to give her a few more weeks to grow before she started going to daycare.   This all means that sometimes, some things get pushed to the back burner because there just aren't enough hours in the day, and babies don't wait while you craft when they are hungry or want to be snuggled.    What can you do??? Snuggle the baby. 
 
 
As you can see above, since it's May, there is a new host code.  Please be sure to use this code whenever you place an online order.  If your order is $30.00 or more before shipping and tax, I will mail you a FREE gift from me.  Through the month of May, that gift will include paper, ribbon and embellishment samples from items that will be soon retiring.  Items will be coordinating so that you can create a special card or project for someone. 
 
As you have probably heard, we are on the countdown for the new Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  The new catalog goes live June 3rd.  But in the meantime, be sure to check out the clearance rack and the Last Chance Product list for all of the items that will be discontinued.  Please note that once the new catalog goes live in June, all stamps will now be photopolymer or cling mount stamps. Stampin' Up! will no longer carry wood mount stamps.  Visit my store now to shop the clearance rack and last chance list by clicking HERE
 
This month I will be focusing on all products that will be retiring so stay tuned for lots of samples and creative ideas.  Some of those ideas will be over on my Facebook page, so be sure to click over there and follow so you never miss a post.  Click here now to go to my Facebook Page
 
Have a great day and I will see you again tomorrow.
 
Happy Stamping,
 
Debbie
