Java Time

This is a fabulous stamp set for your favorite coffee-teer.  But in my case, I used it for our church cafe!

As a funraiser, we are selling homemade cards with the proceeds to go to the cafe, so we can con't to provide free coffee and treats before service.


The easel card and pringles can are perfect for setting on the counter. And the cafe colors are purple plum, black, white and silver.


To get the stamps to show up nicely on the black cardstock, I went ahead and used white embossing powder and embossed all the images. 

See you tomorrow for our next featured stamp set!

    Love how your easel card turned out. What a great idea for raising money for the coffee center at your church. I might have to mention this to our pastor about our coffee center. Thanks for the idea.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5.
