This is my son JP's second card. His grandmother sent him a nice birthday present, so he wanted to send her a thank you card. He went through some of my cards, and saw this design with a different stamp set, so decided to try it with this one. You can't tell but 3 of the cups are pop dotted up, along with the one at the top. He wanted it to look like the coffee was spilling out, so we used a brown sharpie to color in the coffee, and then put crystal effects on it to make it look shiny. It turned out great. The brown mulberry paper was a scrap that I got from Walmart in one of those scrap packs. I did not have chocolate chip in a craft pad, so for the words I stamped the stamp in versamark, then into my classic chocolate chip, and poured on clear emboss immediately. It gave the words a raised look.

Super job, JP! My 6 year old son Liam loves to stamp too - you can see some of his cards in the Little People gallery too, under my user name HeatherJ.
Keep up the great work!

Yes, the crystal effects was used to make the coffee spill. He colored all the coffee he wanted first, then used crystal effects on top of the brown to make it stand out. It looks super in person!

he is 12. It stands for James Phillip (his dad/grandpa and his grandpa on the other side). His mom needs to become a demonstrator first..<grin> Although his grandma is a demonstrator.
