Time for a coffee addicts birthday


Time to make a special card for a special friend.

Coffee was the easy theme for this card as Susan is a coffee addict.

Using an image from House Mouse CD, I printed the decoupage image sheet. The sections were cut out and layered up using 1mm 3d foam pads. The backing paper was taken from House CD Project Book.

The main image was matted onto two brown pieces of card (light and dark brown) , the backing paper was also matted onto the same card matts. The backing section was fixed using double sided tape to an a5 sized card.

Two sets of corners were cut using Die namic Photo corners dies, these were layered up and fixed to each corner using double sided tape.

The main image was fixed using 1mm 3d foam pads.

A personalised message was printed and matted onto brown card and fixed to the lower part of the card.

To decorate, real coffee beans were used. These were first glazed using Glossy Accents. When dry they were fixed to the card using silicon  glue. Once the glue and gloss had fully dried the true coffee smell came through again.

To finish and a matching coffee style insert was printed from House Mouse Inserts CD Rom.

Lets hope Susan has a lovely day, I'm sure there will be coffee flowing at some point through the day, lets hope she doesn't use the beans from the card though.
