Coffee Makes It All Possible!

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Greetings! It's Kathi here to share a card created for May's No Body Here Challenge 209 with the "Coffee Makes It Possible" Clear Stamp by Carmen's Veranda.

Use the coffee sleeve die from a to go coffee die-cut set to cut Bristol Paper, then secure the die-cut onto the base of a stamping platform with magnets and/or low-tack tape. Position the "Coffee Makes It Possible" Clear Stamp by Carmen's Veranda, facedown on the die-cut. Ink the stamp with Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a good impression. Edge the coffee sleeve/sentiment die-cut with Warm Breeze VSFC Ink, then heat set the entire die-cut. Set it aside.

Use the to-go cup die from the coffee die set to cut patterned paper. Edge the to-go cup die-cut with Warm Breeze VSFC Ink then heat set the ink. Use the cup's lid die to cut Bristol Paper. Adhere the lid and the sleeve die-cuts to the patterned paper to-go cup. Use a grey chalk pencil to add a slight shadow under the lid. Set the assembled to go coffee cup aside.

Cut a 6" square of Kraft cardstock to create a background panel. Place it onto a magnetic craft mat. Pounce an anti-static pouch onto the Kraft background panel. Place a coffee bean stencil over the Kraft background panel and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets. 

Sponge or brush Coffee Bean Brilliance Ink over the stencil onto the background panel. Keeping the stencil in place, wipe the ink off of the stencil with a tissue, then sponge or brush VersaMark Ink over the stencil onto the background panel. Remove the stencil and pour clear detail embossing powder onto the wet ink. Pour the excess embossing powder back into its container, then heat set the stenciled and heat embossed background panel.

Trim the panel to 5.75" square and heavily edge it with Coffee Bean Brilliance Ink. Add clock-patterned Washi tape to the bottom edge. Add 1/8" gold Washi tape to the bottom and top edges of the clock-patterned Washi tape. 

Adhere the assembled to-go cup to the background panel as shown.

Use an alarm clock die to cut metallic gold cardstock and Bristol Paper. Assemble the clock and detail it with a black marker. 

Adhere the assembled alarm clock onto the background panel as shown.

Use a gold metallic pen to add dots to the background to echo the gold of the Washi tape and the alarm clock.

Adhere the background panel to a 6" square Kraft card. Add aqua and turquoise rhimestones to finish the card.
