Thanks a Latte

Here's my card for the current coffee themed challenge at The Card Concept.  My card design fits with the challenge's clean and layered style.

My focal image is a pair of to go cups, die cut with the Coffee Cup die from Clear and Simple Stamps and stamped with matching images from the Morning Brew: Coffee set. To go with the cups, I found a piece of bright and cheery paper from a Lily Bee Designs paper pad. I matted the panel with coordinating yellow cardstock, then adhered it to a blue card base.

Instead of using patterned paper as another layer on top of that, I used a tiny brown paper bag that’s the perfect size for a gift card (Starbucks, maybe?). After the bag was in place, I added a piece of a white doily over it along with a pair of layered cardstock strips. The “thanks a latte” sentiment was stamped on the top strip. I adhered the cups to the end of the cardstock strips, using foam tape to give the cup on top some dimension. A blue button tied with a bit of twine and adhered to one of the cups completed the design.
