For my husband’s birthday card, I immediately thought of the Coffee Cafe bundle! One of our favorite ways to spend time together is reading and writing over coffee at Starbucks or any other coffee shop! (He is also a barista.)
It took me three stamp sets to create his card … and who would have thought these three would go together – Coffee Cafe, Moon Baby, and You’re Delightful?
I love the words from Coffee Cafe – “Happiness is a cup of coffee shared with a friend” – but I wanted the word “you” instead of “friend” so I masked the “friend” with a Post-It note before inking the stamp. Then I removed the note and stamped on the oval.
I stamped the “You’re the Best” from the You’re Delightful stamp set and then cut out the word “You” to add to my card.
To add just a bit of color, I used a dauber with Crumb Cake Ink and, starting outside the coffee cup, smudged it over onto the cup.
Since we have doing Live with Karen & Tim for a few months now – Tim received lots of birthday cards from our watchers – and he loves it! That is what made me think of the words from Moon Baby – “Do you know how loved you are?” (and his answer would be … yes)
Since this was a birthday card after all, and I hadn’t said anything about that on the card, I decide to go with “P.S. Happy Birthday”, also from the You’re Delightful stamp set. (I love all the P.S. stamps in that set.)
I used the Embossing Paste and the Brick Wall Embossing Folder on the background of the card.
I know I will be using this Coffee Cafe stamp set often!
