Hi there Playmates!
Today, I'm honoured to be Miss Di's Guest Designer over at the Snippets Playground where you'll find me messing about in the Treehouse as usual.
Had to temporarily close the Playground Treehouse due to Storm Eunice! However, it's now been deemed safe to use again, so just climb the rope ladder (or catapult yourself through the Treehouse window from the seesaw like Linby does)! Everyone is welcome, so come and relax in the comfy chairs, have a natter and share a coffee. It's decaffeinated as I can't be responsible for you lot running around like loons and causing too much havoc! There's bound to be a few biscuits or a slice of cake knocking about too! You can always bribe Playground Pup Dudley with titbits, to keep him quiet!

| 3.5" x 5" card made completely from snippets. |
To make this card:
I took a longer snippet of white card measuring 3.5" x 10", which I scored and folded at the 5" mark to finish up with a 3.5" x 5" card base.
I brushed brown ink through the Funky Fossil 'Caffeine Buzz' stencil then stamped the coffee cup (magazine cover gift) direct to the card front and used a little stamp from IndigoBlu's 'Be Different' set to ground the cup.
I stamped the coffee cup twice more onto white snippets and fussy cut them out. They were layered and stuck to the card front with foam pads. The mag cover gift included a die for the lid, so I die-cut one and stuck it on with foam pads. Finally, I glued a little heart to the cup front and called it done!
I will be round to visit you if you entered via a blog. Sorry, but I am unable to leave you a comment if you enter through any other form of social media.
If you've made a card using snippets (scraps) then why not pop along to the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND - where the sun always shines. It's a friendly challenge and the rules aren't difficult to follow. This challenge will end at 11am on Saturday, 5th March and there are TWO chances to win a lovely Tattered Lace die.
Fabulous coffee card, like the dimension and colors, great design too. What would we do without coffee in the morning?

Fab card, Sarn! I do love that you're serving decaf since it's all I drink these days. Well, it's the only non-alcoholic thing I drink. :-D

Fabulous 3D effect with the pretty coffee cup and loving the stencilling on the background. What a fun post and glad the playhouse is open again and no damage! x.
ReplyDeleteStunning card Sarn ... really love your colour combo with these stamps, and the steniclling. I think my blog needs to get itself caffeinated, as yours is one of the blogs where any comments made from my ipad now disappear ... so there is liable to be a delay unitl I heave myself up the stiars to my PC in the study! Hope the treehouse is still standing after Storm Franklin!!

I love this card, Sarn! I already commented over at the Playground but wanted to leave some love here as well! There's just something about coffee-themed cards that makes me happy! I'm enjoying the coffee over at the Playground too! Have an awesome day!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun coffee card! I love how you put this together with all the good things that go with a good cuppa joe! I think I saw someone swinging on a vine from the treehouse recently. Was that you??
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card and I nearly missed my coffee in the tree house as storm Franklin came along and as I catapulted in I was thrown slightly off course!
ReplyDeleteHope Linby is okay! It's a good thing she didn't have a dress on or she would have been airlifted into town! Just leaving a note here, too, Sarn, to let you know I love your card! I had a laugh when you talked about loons ...! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove that cup & how you grounded it, Sarn! Great card! Thanks for keeping things going in the Playhouse. A comfy chair with a cup of coffee & a bit of cake sounds pretty darn inviting!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun reading your post, Sarn! Your card is beautifully done. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful coffee themed card Sarn! I love the way you 3D-ed the coffee 'go cup' and the background is fabulous. Hugs, Vicky xxx
ReplyDeletePS I don't think it's the caffeine that's the issue, it's those little tots of Baileys!!
Love the 3-D effect and the little heart on the coffee mug!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful creation, Sarn! Love the coffee theme of course! (But's it's got to be caffeinated for me LOL)
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful 3d effect om the cup and I love all the elements. I'm not allowed caffeine so that's perfect. lol
