Have a Cup on Us – You’re My Cup of Coffee

Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#682) challenge.  This week, LeAnne has given us a super sketch.  So many opportunities with this one!

For my theme, I chose TGIF (#465) Coffee First and the color duo from The Color Hues (#83) Cream and Blue and opting to use Pool Party and Lost Lagoon for a cool blue.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Lost Lagoon cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Pool Party Plaid patterned piece of paper from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper pack.
• Squares: Lost Lagoon cardstock die-cut with the (1½”) Stitched Square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
• Focal Images – Coffee Cups: Very Vanilla cardstock and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • The Striped Cup image from the Have a Cup on Us stamp set from Stamps Simply was stamped.
  • The Plain Cup image was also stamped and stamped again on a Post-It Note.
  • The center of the Post-It-Note Cup was cut away with Paper Snips and used as a Mask.
  • The Floral Cup image was stamped over the Masked Cup to add the Floral detail.
  • These two Cups were die cut with the coordinating Have a Cup on Us Dies.
  • Using the Silicone Craft Sheet, two more Plain Cups were stamped and the cardstock was pressed onto them for a reverse / mirror image.
  • Flipping the Post-It-Note Mask, the Cups were masked again and the Dotted Cup image was stamped over to add the Dot detail on one Cup and the Leaf image from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set was used for the second Cup.
  • These two Cups were fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
  • All the Cups were colored with both the Light and Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.
•  Sentiment Banner: Lost Lagoon cardstock.
  • The sentiment, You’re My Cup of and the word Coffee from the Coffee of Tea? stamp set from Stamp Simply was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
  • The sentiment was die-cut with the (3½” x 1”) Banner die also from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The Coffee Cups were popped up with Dimensionals.
