Loving "a nice cuppa" bundle from Stampin' Up! and I have used it to make an easy easel mother's day card for the sketch challenge on Global Design Project this week.

Some of you already know that I'm pregnant and I'm at 7 days of my due date.  I'm seeing everything pink!! Lol, and I'm so grateful for being able to  finish at least a Melon Mambo monochromatic version of this card  but  I really wish having  a bit more of creativity and energy  to try different color combinations and share them with you today.  Perhaps you can give it a try and let me know which colours could be ideal for a card like this one?

You can make this card in any size. The  card in the pictures measures 4-3/1"x 6" /12x15 cm ( this is the size of the card base) other pieces/pannels or layers are slightly smaller than each other. 

In general this card  only  have 3 pieces + embellishments:

Pieces:

1. A card base ( I used  Melon Mambo card stock) 

2. A card topper ( in this case it is a 2 layer card topper)

3. A Very Vanilla / Whisper white panel for the inside ( if  necessary) 

To create the easel folding I simply  scored an horizontal line just at the  center of the front panel of the card base  and then I pasted with multi glue the card topper only at the bottom part of it. Voila I was done! 

Stamping/ Embellishments and paper used: the card topper has one  layer in  Very Vanilla card stock and other in Sahara Sand card stock and I also used 1 sheet of have a cuppa DSP stack in Melom Mambo colour. 

I stamped the tea cup on Whisper White card stock with Melon Mambo ink and I die cut it using a coordinating die. I stamped the sentiment " world best mother" with Stazon black ink on a piece of vellum and I punch it out with 1-1/2" circle punch . I  die cut a 3" circle of DSP and overlay the pieces as shown in the pictures.  I embellished  with gold cording trim. Please find detailed supplies  at the bottom of this post.

I hope you like this project and please feel free to leave a comment or ask any question, I''ll be happy to hear from you. x Bibi

I made a banner using a tiny piece of DSP (have a cuppa from Stampin' Up!) and I stamped one of the sentiments of Balloons Celebration Stamp set: "Come, let us sit together and drink coffee", perfect for this basic card design.  I embellish with Linen Thread and Paper Doilies from Stampin' Up!

Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies includes 12 beautiful  tea - coffee related dies and I bought them together with the coordinating stamp set A Nice Cuppa because Stampin' Up! offers a 15% discount when buying bundles so I always prefer to get coordinating tools straight away. 

Below a picture of the dies:

Hello everyone,  I was determined to use  Nice Cuppa stamp set  and coordinating dies from Stampin' Up!  for this week challenge: challenge #19 of Global Design Project / Theme: Love and then I got the idea of making something slightly different. 

I have to admit that I struggled to accomplish my own objectives with this card  and  I'm not sure if I did because A Nice Cuppa is in my opinion a very feminine stamp set, or because  my english is not good enough to play with  words, or because  I'm lack of sleep at 3 weeks from the due date of my 3rd baby and my brain is not working as it should...

So here is  my love card  for today's challenge. I hope you like it and make you giggle!

Below a picture of  the gorgeous "A nice cuppa" stamp set and the dies. Ideal to make Mother's day or feminine friendship cards and invitations. The dies includes a cup of coffee which would be fantastic as well to make love cards or get well cards.

I  tried  to give a different sense to this card using  the dies and only 1 of the stamps in the set. To complete the message I used Alphabet Rotary stamp. So many  ideas came to my mind then as with the Alphabet Rotary stamp I could built any message  but this one was the easier, short to execute and perhaps a bit different from the projects  I have seen before using this combo.

Once the design was clear in my mind this was a very easy and quick project.   I also have use  a sheet of  Have a Cuppa designer series paper stack (DSP)for the background,  black, cherry cobbler, and kraft card stock, circle punch and dies to make the plate, white emboss powder, silver metallic thread  and the heart is from Bear hugs Framelits Dies all products from Stampin' Up! you can purchase any of this items by clicking on the pictures at the bottom of this post or here!
