I don’t even drink coffee and I am in love with this new Coffee Cafe Suite! Everything in the suite is just wonderful. And it’s the little things! The Designer Series Paper is beautiful, the matching framelits are a must have. I have used the little tag,( I actually think it may be a tea bag!), several times to attach a tag to a little card or gift. And I know we have had coffee sets from Stampin’ Up! before, but this one is just at at the top of the scale. So enough of that, here is the card I made.
Coffee Cafe Bundle, 145331
My color inspiration for this card came from this DSP. As I mentioned in my comments above, everything in this suite of items is wonderful, and the DSP is no exception. This paper I used is probably my favorite of the DSP pack. And gave me the color combination.
I did this card with my Stamp Club on Sunday and one of the ladies commented that she would have never put these two colors together. I responded with “I would not have either” it was the DSP’s fault!!
To give some extra color to the open portion of Soft Sky card stock, I used the coffee mark from Timeless Texture stamp set and stamped in Soft Sky Ink. The coffee cup is stamped in Soft Sky with the lid stamped in Pear Pizzazz. They were cut out with the matching dies in the Framelits set. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso. The one thing I would change is the little heart stopper in the lid. I cut it out in Soft Sky card stock and you really cannot see it. As a redo I would use the Early Espresso or Crumb Cake for that.

The set I used today is the Ribbon Of Courage set. It is an awesome set for so many reasons. For me, it is the versatility of the solid ribbon. Almost every medical issue has a colored ribbon to bring awareness. With this solid ribbon you can make an appropriate card for any need. My card for today is a pink ribbon.
Ribbon of Courage, 143855
The sentiment is from the Ribbon of Courage set as well. I think the sentiment is perfect for all of us every day! The softness of the Powder Pink is perfect for this card and is such a wonderful color. The DSP is the InColor Designer Series Paper pack. Another Must Have in my opinion! I cut the ribbon out with the largest of the ovals in the Stitched Shapes Framelits. For a little extra touch, I added a few of the smallest pearls to give the card a little dimension.

The card I have for today is from one of the cutest sets in the catalog. It is Watts of Occasions. There are four lightbulbs with matching sentiments. What could be cuter? These are designed to bring a smile to the recipient’s face and I promise it will bring a smile to your face as well. Here is my card.
Watts of Occasions, 143867
I added the splatter from of Touches Texture stamp set to help with the “burned out” image. The sentiment is stamped and cut out with the Pretty Label punch. I layered two black labels behind the sentiment to give it some depth.
And to finish this card, I added one of the other sentiments to the inside of the card. Here is that picture.
This was a super quick and easy card. I hope you will check out this stamp set, as it meets so many reasons that we make and send cards. The products I used today are listed below.
Thank you for visiting today. I very much appreciate it.
The set I have focused on today is one that totally escaped me the first look through the catalog. Then, as usual, I began seeing beautiful cards made with it and I wondered what set it was. DUH!!! The one I have made for today is a 4 X 4 card, and could be a birthday or wedding card, or even a gift enclosure card. I believe this is one of the most versatile sets in the catalog. Say hello to the Happiest of Days stamp set.
I love this Designer Series Paper! It is from the Coffee Cafe suite and is called Coffee Break DSP. I chose this little pattern and went from there for the other colors. I did the coloring of the gifts with my Stampin’ Write Markers and just added a little rhinestone to the right side bow. It just really needed some bling since it is shaped like a starburst or pom pom. And then I added a second rhinestone to the sentiment banner.
This is such a cute card and so quick and easy to make. I hope you will give these smaller cards a chance.

I have used this wonderful set, Beautiful You, so many times. But it seems the sentiments and the ladies seem appropriate for the type of card I happen to need or decide to try. I hope you have tried playing with this wonderful set. Here is my card for today.
Beautiful you, 143637
This lovely Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack was my color inspiration. It pretty much said that I was going to use Berry Burst! The only discrepancy is the watercoloring of the lady. I used the Rich Razzleberry WatercolorPencil and a Blender Pen.
The lady and the sentiment are both die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. In that set of framelits you get squares, circles and ovals. I just adore using those. The stitching means I do not have to layer another piece under that die cut. In this case it would have been difficult due to my color choices. The set of framelits is most definelty a Must Have for your tool kit of dies.
The finishing touches for this card are the Berry Burst Crinkled Seam Binding and the Enamel Shapes (I used a Rich Razzleberry shape again to compliment the Berry Burst). The Crinkled Seam Binding is a dream to work with. It is extremely light and maneuverable. The bow came out perfect the first time!

I believe anyone would love to receive a card that said they were the Best Friend Ever! But my idea for this card came from thinking of our lovable, goofy, tennis ball addicted, Chocolate Lab – Marley. (He never met a tennis ball that he did not love!) He left us a year ago today. So when I was looking for a card inspiration and saw the sentiment, I knew it was perfect. Even when he was not perfect, the love and fun we got from him was well worth the troubles. I am sure you know what I mean. Here is my Marley inspired card.
Badges & Banners, 141610
My color inspiration came from the Delightful Daisy DSP.
I stamped the two badges in Tranquil Tide onto a scrap of Whisper White, and punched them using the Best Badge Punch. The tag is made with a 2″ wide strip of Daffodil Delight and is punched using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I used a tiny strip of the same DSP, just the reverse side, to add a touch to the end of the tag. The ribbon is White Thick Baker’s Twine. I just untwisted the part above the tag. And of course I had to add the gold star to the badge. There is a tiny bit smaller star in the stamp, but I felt it needed a shinier one! The star is a Metallic Enamel Shape.
And that is my simple Best Friend card. I hope you will be inspired to make your own Best Friend card either for a two or four legged friend !!
