Hello and Welcome to this weeks Broke Stampers Unite blog post. This week is our stamp set week and the chosen set is Merry Cafe'. I have been really stuck on the Old Olive and Basic Black theme for Christmas this year and how awesome does this combo look on this card? I know right? I love it! Let me tell you what I did.
I started with a base of Whisper White Thick cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling TIEF #139672. I then cut out the elements of my cup using the Coffee Cups framelits #143745. I used the DSP from the Merry Little Christmas stack #144621
as well as some Vellum Cardstock for the cup top #101856. eeeek I love the way this set works. I stamped the small oval with the Perk Up from the center of the coffee shape in the Merry Cafe' set #144965 using an Early Espresso marker to get just the parts I wanted. I stamped the snowflake in Soft Sky. behind that I layered once of the Corrugated Elements #144158 from the Annual Catalog. I stamped my sentiment there at the bottom in Basic Black ink. I added a couple banner strips that I cut using the Banner Triple Punch #138292
