The coffee theme was suggested by tazadecafe. Thanks Gina!
Have you ever wanted to send a card to a friend you haven't seen in awhile to ask her out to coffee to chat and catch up... but you didn't have any coffee stamps? Have you ever wanted to make a gift basket for a coffee lover but not have traditional coffee stamps? Well, if you answered yes to one of these, this is the challenge for you!
CARD THEME: coffee
STAMPS: any stamps that are not from a coffee or mug themed set or a set like Treat Yourself which has a coffee component built into it.
CARDSTOCK AND INK: any
EMBELLISHMENTS: any
This can be done! Please take time to look at the samples below Thanks for playing! *Please put LSC47 in the keyword box when you upload!*
Thanks Jen,
This looks like fun. I can't wait to see what everyone does. I will probably do mine in the morning. First I have the think up something creative. Wish me luck! :???:
Oh, OK, I'll go up and get another cup - they brew Starbucks in the cafeteria here, but the free stuff on my floor is BAD!!! I'd rather pay - you have inspired me... now let's see if I can do this challenge when I get home!
Send me a link to that caffeine stamp too, maybe I can use it to replace Diet Pepsi . . . no, nothing can replace that.
Interesting challenge.

Hmm.... Good challenge Jen! Perfect timing, too. I was just starting to think this morning of what type of a card I could make for my brother's birthday. He is getting a Starbucks gift card! I'll have to see what I can come up with!
Thanks!
Coffee...my FAV!! I'm sipping still as I type!! I have a good coffee buddy that I haven't seen since before Christmas and I KNOW she would appreciate a card like this!! I will really need to think, though! NO COFFEE STAMPS?! hmmm?:eek:

Fun Fun challenge! This is my second challenge and I think I am addicted...already looking at what is coming up. Thought of this one in the middle of the night, DH thinks I'm crazy, but if that's the best reason he can come up with he's not trying too hard!
Wow! Jen, you are really making us put our thinking caps on! Gonna have to check my stamps stash & see what I can come up with. Thanks for challenging us to think outside the coffee cup!... I mean box!
Great Challenge!!!! I really had to think on this one and now I am working on another. I have enjoyed playing the last couple of weeks. I am back to work on MOnday and will not likely have as much time to create (sigh).
This seemed like it took me forever because I had to dry out the coffee filter. I got coffee all over my silk blouse! Just kidding -- I used the coffee filter to make faux silk. I combined this with challenge WT44. Here is my coffee card.
Here's my first card. I have many ideas "brewing" in my head, so I hope to find time to do more!
The "U" and "R" are stamped on pieces of an actual coffee filter. I have a coffee bean stamp that I normally would have used on one of the backgrounds, but I tried to not use any stamps from my coffee sets.
I also used the For Fun Sketch & in an on-going effort to conserve my brown paper supply, I made just the top layer the part that opens. For this card it is a perfect area to hold a Starbucks gift card!
I am thinking I might change the medium brown background to pink? Hmm... back to the craft room!

Ok I finally got away to my stamp room and made a card. The hardest part were the swirls.....Used more stamps sets than you can imagine but it was fun. Here's my card pending 9:20.....
This was fun! Here is my card (pending approval). There are two links, one for the outside and one for the inside since it is a pop-up card. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Okay Jen, this was a challenge, I really had to think about this one and looked through almost every set I owned even Christmas to come up with the right shapes and words. Finally finished this late last night. Couldn't use the short pickup truck because it was to small so I went to.......
The loooong pickup I can't believe I've used this ugly stamp twice in one week, the first one didn't get uploaded...to ugly!
Jen, it's time to clear your messages again! Young lady this is the second time I've had to tell you that, now you just better get your act together and get that file cleaned up!
Jen here's your answer for the mug
The mug is the shadow stamp from Little Layers and the handle is the C from the Alpha Builders set, steam from Sun Moon and Stars.
I looked through everything to come up with that mug! Great Challenge!
Trudee,
I layered the c/s together and then cut, layered again and cut. It didn't matter on a card this wild if it was neat and even! But I didn't do to bad, huh! Just make sure your scissors line up to the previous shape when you cut the second time.
Location: In my Happy Place with no one bothering me....I hope!

Here it is..... pending approval (9:30 est)

OK! I'm off to clean out my pms! LOL! Thanks for explaining the mug. I don't remember Alpha Builders. Now it makes sense, though!
