May is here and we are back with a theme that got us started in the first place.. Our love of card-making AND coffee was the beginning of these blog posts . So here is a fabulous inspiration photo for our theme this month - COFFEE .
I used a fun stamp from Emerald Creek - Coffee Sign Board by Pam Bray Designs . I bought the whole set of her coffee stamps many years ago - they are based in Canada. So, I don't know how the tariff insanity could impact ordering them !!
- I stamped the Coffee Sign Board on ivory cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink .
- The image was cut out with a Big and Little Chain rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs.
- I colored the cup and coffee rings with my OLO markers .
- A piece of Prima "Coffee Break" paper was adhered to a turquoise card base.
- The completed stamped image was adhered to the card base using foam tabs.
I'm excited to see Celeste's card - she makes beautiful cards, especially coffee-themed ones . You can see what she's created over at her blog - Crafting Junky .
My cup today is actually a tea cup - a vintage Lefton "Miss Dainty" - from the 1950's . I know my mom had a set of these when I was a child. And when I saw that a friend online had found one in a thrift store, I commented on it . She was going to be selling it in her eBay shop . I told her I'd love to buy it and now it has a new home on a shelf in my craft room. I did drink a cup of tea out of it before placing it on the shelf . For today's blog post, I'm drinking a cup of Kona coffee with Sweet Cream creamer from a reusable Starbucks cup .Nothing fancy, just practical .
If you'd like to check out my friend Sandi's eBay shop, you can go to Fun Funky Florida Finds . She has a variety of cool stuff, including some Starbucks destination cups . I love my new ( vintage ) Miss Dainty cup - it's a sweet reminder of my mom .
Thank you for stopping by for our May cards .
We will see you again next month .
Until then, Stay Creative .

Deb, your card is absolutely fantastic! You always create such fun and pretty cards. I also love the vintage mug you bought that was similar to your mom's set. It's always fun to have things that remind us of our past and our family!
