Hi everyone! I'm about to perk you up! Good Morning! Did you have your coffee yet? If not, I have some coffee for you today! Today's post is about the brand new, awesome, card kit from Taylored Expressions! It is live now for shopping over at the TE Store. And I'm predicting a sell out on this one! Who doesn't love a cute coffee themed card? This kit combines two of my favorite things – coffee + crafting! Yay! The kit includes stamp sets, stencils, dies, and even cool inserts for the inside of your cards. The kit information is at the bottom of my post. Let's look at my project! Cheers everyone!
My finished card is an A2 white card base. I covered the entire front with TE Cookie Monster Cardstock – my favorite TE color. I layered white on top for my focus layer….then I went to town putting on all those cute coffee mugs! I used one of my go-to color palettes – fresh aqua and lime green. Never go wrong with it. And I absolutely love that sentiment. (The sentiment set is great in this kit)
Here's a side view of my layers and the coffee mugs. Most of the mugs were attached to the card with foam squares! I used grey for the handles of the mugs – sort of a retro feel??!!
I stamped the sentiment in rich black ink onto the center of the white rectangle panel. Then I surrounded the sentiment with the coffee mugs.
When I stenciled the mugs I used my blender brushes the first go….then I used my small blender brushes to add more of the same color ink for a soft shaded effect. I splattered on some white paint too, concentrating on the bottom of the mugs.
Just a few little red hearts as an accent. The hearts are in the small stamp set – along with some faces and steams for the coffees!
To make the mugs, I stenciled the entire panel of the stencils! There are three stencils in this set…. I was going to use this stenciled panel as a background, but then decided to die cut them all out with the matching dies.
The stencils and matching dies are included in the awesome kit!
Here's a peek at the sentiments set. The stamps are red rubber (love that about TE) and they stamp like a dream!
Included in the kit are some pre cut panels that you can use for the inside of your cards. I love this idea! This is one of the panels. I used some of the leftover mugs and put them onto the panel. I also added cute smiley faces!
I couldn't resist sharing one of my most used coffee mugs at my house!! Perfect right?!

What a NICE KIT, Wanda! And RED RUBBER sounds like Quality to me!That is NICE TO KNOW! 😉 I LOVE the colors you chose, Wanda! It DOES look “retro!” AND THANK YOU for the sneak peak on those sentiments too. They ALL look GREAT! I also LOVE your splatters on the mugs/cups, who would have thought such a small detail would lend so much to a project? WONDERFULLY DONE, AS ALWAYS!!! HUGS DEAR FRIEND! 😉<3
LOVE your card! Ran right over to order but sold out already 🙁 Hopefully they will restock soon.
These cups are heavenly for sure…love these colors together. So bright and cheerful. TE kits seem to fly out of their shop. That good for business. Nice job😍
Love this! I am hoping they restock this soon also!
