Another day, another card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I have linked up a card every day so far and for today's card, I'll be combining my love of coffee and letter-writing ( namely, mailing letters ). I found some amazing 3 cent coffee pot stamps while searching the USPS website one day. Now, I rarely have a use for 3 cent stamps but I figured I could use them on heavier envelopes or when I'm making cards. They are a lovely antique coffee pot and I think they were perfect for this card !!
- I cut a scrap piece of ledger-patterned paper and adhered it to a kraft card base.
- For my main image, I used the Coffee 1 images from Anthony's Paper Craft. I love these images - they appear very vintage and the lettering is amazing. They were stamped with Memories India Black Ink.
- I adhered the patterned paper to the kraft base using Tombow MONO Adhesive+.
- 3 coffee-pot stamps were placed down the left side of the patterned paper. I left the backing on the stamps so they could be peeled off and used by the recipient.
- Across the upper right side of the card, I adhered 4 small gold banners.
- I tied a piece of Maya Road twine cording across the top of the card.
- The card is displayed on a piece of paper from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Correspondence" paper pad. It is a Parcel Post Rate page.
