My Cup of Tea (or Coffee)!

Hello my name is Erin and I’m a coffee addict! When I spotted this cute little teacup stamp set I immediately thought coffee cup. I love tea as well but we just do not have the same relationship. That is my mom and I pictured above. After a morning walk along our favorite local trail we headed to Starbucks for a delicious cup of joe. My choice, a grande Americano that I dress up with my favorite almond caramel creamer. Yummo! I created this layout with leftovers from the World is Yours paper collection, a promo kit from the month of May. Be sure to scroll all the way to the end to see some cards I created with this stamp set as well.

I cut the title and the steamy swirl on my Cricut machine. The vellum paper helps to accentuate the look of steam rising from a hot cup of goodness. Punching the tea cups from White Daisy card stock then adding patterned paper gives a unique finish to each cup. To help establish the coffee theme I used a retired alphabet stamp set to spell out the word coffee and stamp directly on the cup.

You can purchase this whimsical little stamp set with or without the thin cut. Get yours here. I like to have the coordinating die for these stamps. It gives a nice crisp finish and speeds up the process. The possibilities are endless! This set would be perfect to embellish a trip to Disneyland and a swirly twirly ride on the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party ride. Or how about snapshots of lunch with your friends?

The fun quote I spotted on Pinterest and knew I wanted to incorporate it into my layout. Not having a stamp, I turned to my computer. Popping it up with dimensional foam and adding the coffee cup turns this into a cute embellishment. I added a few splatters in Cocoa brown as if one splattered their coffee a bit. The little travel mug I cut from the Cricut cartridge “You Are Here”. So cute and tiny!!! Check out the video below to see this page come together.

Just to show you how versatile you can get with this stamp set I created a few cards. Finding inspiration in my garden I put this thank you card together. The patterned papers are from the True Love collection as well as the flower bouquet spilling over the tea cup’s brim. I added some texture to the Thistle colored cardstock by embossing with the Flower Garden embossing folder and finishing it off with some sequins for sparkle.

Here is another cute card I put together featuring the True Love paper collection. I framed out the card with the largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Frames thin cuts. I love the detail this die adds with the stitching around the border. To add to the look I cut the doily from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. Lastly I cut the Tea Cup from White Daisy card stock. To add the patterned paper to the inside I simply stamped the cup on the floral paper and fussy cut with my micro tip scissors. Finish off the look with a bit of ribbon and your card is finished!
