Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / February 2026

We're back to bring you the February edition of Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste . And it's only appropriate that this month our theme is Valentines / Hearts . We hope you like how we were inspired ..

I decided to make a card for my guy, Brian. I make many cards but somehow never seem to get around to giving him one that is handmade. So I pulled out the Ink Road stamp set Snarky Couple to make my card . We have been together since 2001, so this sentiment seemed perfect !!

Let's Grow Old and Grumpy Together

• I adhere a piece of paper from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Red Palette Collection to a red card base. This paper collection is absolutely beautiful !!
• The couple image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock .
• The image was colored with my COPICs .
• The sentiment was stamped using Catherine Pooler Peppermint Scrub ink .
• I diecut the stamped image to fit the front of my card with a Stitched Square Die.
• A piece of lace ribbon from Stampin' Up was adhered below the sentiment.
• A Valentine Word Snippet from KCS Designs by Kim was printed, cut out and adhered to the ribbon .
• I placed a small red button on the left side of the sentiment. 
• The completed stamped panel was adhered with foam tabs in the center of the patterned paper on the card base.
• Heart Wax Seal stickers were placed on each side of the stamped panel .

I really love the vintage feel of this card . It  reminds me of old-fashioned Valentine cards .  Be sure to go to Celeste's blog - Crafting Junky - to see how she brought our inspiration photo  to life .

For my coffee today, I chose a McCafe Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookie K-cup .  This tastes just like a delicious warm cookie right out of the oven. The cup I'm using was given to me by a friend who brought it back for me after a visit to Disney California Adventure Park . I recently found it in the midst of a big destash I've been doing .. 

I made one more card with the Snarky Couple set . This card also has a vintage vibe .

Thank you for visiting with Celeste and I again to check out our cards . We will be back in March and hopefully there will be some warmer weather coming along with us . Until next time, Stay Creative ( and warm ) .
