Warms My Heart

There's nothing like a good cup of coffee, especially on a cold, wet, rainy day. A day like today. I sit here sipping mine while I work on this post. It is really nice! :) I used the picture inspiration from Papercraft Star for the look and the color. I used Tuesday Morning Sketches for the layout. I also used some bling and a ribbon, for the challenge at Card Creations & More by C.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4." I matted it with the brown that is cut 1/8" smaller and embossed with D'vine Swirls folder. I wrapped the ribbon, which I had in my stash, around the card. I used a piece of light blue cardstock and cut it at 3"x3 3/4," then cut a piece of light brown paper at 1/4" smaller and embossed it with D'vine Swirls as well. I stamped my sentiment on the brown paper. The cup is from A Child's Year and cut at 1 3/4" in the same dark blue as the base of the card. I layered some dark brown paper behind it to fill in the cut-outs. I added some swirl paper clips and bling in the corners. The inside is layered in the same light blue and brown paper. I stamped it with some coffee beans and a "thank you" sentiment.
