The Perfect Blend
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: mamaxsix

 Today's sketch challenge was a new one for me...the bottom panel is a folded panel with the main part of the card being a single layer. I have been wanting to try to sell some cards at a local coffee house and thought I'd try a coffee-theme for my card today. The base is Crumb Cake with a piece of coffee bean dp. For my folded panel I used a piece of Neutral Patterns pack dp. The edge piece is actually a recycled sleeve from the coffee house that I edged with a punched scallop border and accented with a Baker's Twine bow. My images were stamped using a mask and then I added paper pieced accents. Here's what the inside looks like The Perfect Blend Open by mamaxsix at Splitcoaststampers. I adhered a gift card on the left panel (I'll have to switch to the local coffee house's card if I take it to show the owner!).

Gail, what a darling card based on a coffee theme and your cute sentiment. Love your coffee bean DP and your use of the insulator sleeve.

I love being able to re-use items on my cards, makes it interesting. Your dp is perfect and I don't think you'll have trouble selling this card in the coffee shop!

Oh I am so glad you showed us both pics in full scale. I originally thought that the flap was to come forward and down but yours goes sidewise. I think I am ready to attempt this..lol Very nice card.
