A Hug In a Mug! | Rubbernecker Stamps

 Hello my friends!  Today I have a cozy coffee card using Rubbernecker Stamps' beautiful Coffee Set!  I created my own background using the smaller images in this set.  Keep reading for all the fun details!

I stamped the coffee cups and coffee pot in black ink randomly over a piece of 80# Neenah card stock.  I used the "coffee" sentiment to fill in a few empty spots.  I also made sure to let the images fall off the edge for more interest.

To make the background images really pop off the page, I used some gray Copic markers to add shadows around them.  I used C5, C3, C1, C00.  I used C0 to blend out the edge of C00.  You can really see the difference in these next two photos!  (Click the photos to see up close.)

Next I die cut the panel with the largest Nested Rectangle die and adhered it to a layer of blue card stock.  Then I adhered the layers to a top-folding A2 card base.

I stamped the gal in Copic safe ink and colored her with my markers.  I die cut her out with the coordinating die and adhere her to a vellum oval that was die cut using a Nested Oval Small Stitch die.

Next I added foam square to the back, keeping the behind the gal so they won't show, and adhered it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and die cut it with the smallest Nested Oval Small Stitch die.  This is adhered to a blue card stock layer that I cut with a Nested Oval Scallop die.  I popped it up with foam squares.  For just a touch of bling, I added a few blue crystal gem stickers.

I had so much fun making this card, especially the background!  I hope I've given you some inspiration for your next card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
