CO-FF-EE

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week! How’s the weather where you are? It’s still a bit chilly here and we still have snow on the ground, which we love! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I mentioned last week that I was invited to guest for Just Us Girls Challenge, and I’m thrilled to share my project for Trend Week #571 – Slimline Card. I’ve jumped on the slimline card wagon too, along with everyone else, so this was a card I enjoyed creating!

And here is our trend prompt:

My card has gold glitter washi tape and skinny washi tape striped elements, and features stamped and die cut coffee cups on the front with a gift card holder on the inside. Perfect for that coffee-loving friend with a birthday – or some other reason to celebrate! My slimline cards are 9″ x 3-3/4″ because this slightly larger size fits better in a #10 envelope. I cut the card base from CutCardStock Wild Blueberry cardstock along with three stitched oval die cuts and the alphabet letters using the CUTplorations Uppercase Alphabet die Plate to spell COFFEE. I cut front and inside layering panels from CutCardStock Sandcastle cardstock and rounded the bottom corners of the card base and all the layers. I stamped four coffee cups on the CutCardStock Sandcastle cardstock in navy blue ink which I cut with the coordinating die. I arranged three sets of washi tape stripes horizontally across the front panel and adhered it to the card base. I adhered the stitched ovals to the panel and then the coffee cups with the letters.

I embellished the inside panel cut from CutCardStock Sandcastle cardstock with a single set of vertical washi tape stripes and adhered it to the inside of the card base. I created a gift card envelope from CutCardStock Wild Blueberry cardstock with my WRMK Envelope Punch Board and adhered a Sizzix die cut sentiment. I then adhered the remaining die cut coffee cup and gift card envelope to the panel, leaving plenty of room for a signature.

And one more look… so pleased with how this turned out! I CASE’d my own design that I created for the Prickley Pear Stamps Hochanda showcase back in late October, but this one is slightly different.
