Perk Up

Are there any Coffee or Latte lovers out there?

Everyone who knows me knows that I love my Coffee and Lattes.
Chai Tea Lattes in particular (hint, hint).

For the past 3 summers I have taken my church youth group on a mission trip 
somewhere in Western Canada.
This year I had a new young lady with me and at the airport I went to get myself
a latte as it was still another flight and then I had to drive us to our destination.  
I mentioned that I needed another coffee. 
 She said, "You really have a thing about coffee don't you?"
YES, YES I do.  
I am a bear without it. LOL 
All my other youth have learned this when I don't have enough coffee. 

So, the Perk Up stamp set is perfect for me and for any coffee lover out there.

Here are some cards and a layout I made using this set and the thin cuts.
The thin cuts are currently being re-ordered and are expected back mid-October. 
If you want the stamp and thin cuts let me know and I will order them 
or let you know as soon as they are back.
 
You can still order just the stamp set right now.

Perk Up and the Hawthorn paper retire at the end of this month.

I created a shaker card using the Perk Up cup thin cut to cut a window in my pattern paper.  I stamped the background under the window in Almond, Espresso, and Toffee inks using the coffee ring stamp.  I just randomly stamped them.  I used my scissors to edge distress the leaf paper and then inked all the edges of all the papers with Espresso ink.  I stamped the sentiment in Sangria ink on a piece of Kraft cardstock that was dovetailed.  The lid was stamped in Pewter ink.  I backed the window with acetate, put 3-D foam tape around the window, added coffee grounds and then stuck the background paper on top.  I then added it to my card base and added the rest of the pieces.

I made this shaker card the same as the other one except I inked the lid using a dauber with Mink ink, to create shadows.  I added hearts in Sangria, and a cup cozy in Almond.  I inked this time with Sangria and Expresso.  Inside the shaker I put coffee grounds, a couple small coffee beans, and a few gold sequins.

I randomly stamped the background again using Espresso, Almond and Toffee ink and the coffee ring image
all over a 12 x 12 piece of White Daisy cardstock. 
I edge distressed the Hawthorn blue leaf paper (4" x 12") with scissors.
 The Kraft photo mats are 4.25" x 6.25".
The journalling strips are 0.5" x 6". 
The title is stamped in Sangria using the Brushed Letters Alphabet.
 The cups and lids are stamped in Pewter.  I used a waterbrush to add shading using Pewter ink. 
The cozies are stamped in Sangria, Saffron, and Almond.
 All the papers were inked with Espresso on the edges.

Gift card holder card.  Here are the inks used.  I stamped the cup and  lid in Pewter, the saying and hearts in the Espresso, the cozy in Saffron.  I created the background with Almond, Toffee and Espresso ink.  I shaded the cup image with ink from the pad using a water brush.  I inked all the paper edges in Espresso ink.  I only put adhesive on the sides and bottom of the Kraft piece.  

What a great Thank you card.  Would work as a great teacher's gift, etc.
