Hello crafty friends! It’s Rosie and I’m back with another project. My inspiration for this set of cards was a summer coffee house on the beach. I used some muted neutrals and jewel tones with the Coffee Delights Stamp & Die Set. I started my project as I do most of my projects, by stamping out the images a couple times and then choosing a color theme and coloring everything. I like to multi stamp images so I can experiment with marker colors a bit and if I mess up my coloring, I am not stressed about it. After I color and die cut, I find coordinating pattern and solid paper. This time I used the Natural Basics Paper Pad.

 

I am really loving the Frames & Flags Die Set. It has phenomenal dies for layering and I reach for it all the time. This first set of cards is simply layers of pattern paper and cardstock. The Frames & Flags Die Set gives the coffee cups image a nice "stage" to sit on.
The next set is similar but I pulled in a little more of the muted mauve color. Again, I used that Frames & Flags Die Set with the same paper pack. I did add a heart and some brown splatter on the scalloped card but the coffee cups are the focal point.

And because I can't throw anything away, I had these two tiny coffee cups and the coffee beans left so I made them the star of the show using the Card Layout 6 Die Set. This is another card front panel die called the Corner Flip Die Set and that makes putting together a card quick and easy. The Natural Basics Paper Pad is two sided so the flipped edge looks just as good as the front. 

I hope you enjoyed all the inspiration in my post today. If you have not noticed by now, I love to mass produce cards. I use all the bits and pieces and don't like to 'save them for later'. Bits and pieces make the best clean and simple cards and always become my favorite projects of the card making session.

Happy crafting! I'm going back to dreaming of opening a beach-front coffee house that has a sunny craft room upstairs.
