To begin, the mug and sentiment were both stamped in black ink. The mug was then fussy cut. The main panel was die cut with a stitched rectangle die and then the star background was stamped using metallic gold ink. Once that was dry, I layered the main panel on top of a piece of kraft cardstock to add a little pop of warm color to the overall design. The mug was then popped up on the main panel with foam adhesive. The pretty gold heart washi tape was added beneath the cup and three gold star sequins were also placed. The assembled main panel was attached to the card base using more foam adhesive. Clean and simple, that’s my style! I’m off to brew some of that magical warmth and hop along before digging into my Saturday to do list!
Remember, you have until next Saturday, October 6, to leave comments along the hop and be eligible to win the prizes!
You’re now ready to head on over to the talented Helen’s blog as you continue on your coffee loving journey! Have fun and good luck!
