Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Hop - Day 2 - Homemade Coffee Backgrounds

Hello everyone and welcome to day 2 of the Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!  

Today's card is an idea that I have had in my head for some time now...to make large backgrounds using some smaller coffee images from Coffee 2 from Anthony's Paper Craft.  And today I got to play and I really love how they turned out. 

For both cards, I started by making a top folding A2 card base of white cardstock.  Then I adhered a piece of decorative paper to the front of each one.  

For the first card, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die.  Then I randomly stamped the "to go" cup from Coffee 2.  I colored all the cups using BIC Intensity Ultra Fine Tip Markers, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back and then I adhered this to the card front.  Lastly, I stamped "coffee" from the set several times, used my Scan N Cut to cut the words out, glued them together and adhered it to the card front with a sticker that says "there is no real substitute" under the word Coffee. 

  

For my second card, I basically did the same as the first card but I stamped the ceramic mug around the white cardstock instead of the "to go" cup.  After coloring the mugs,  I applied Glossy Accents to the mugs so that they really looked like ceramic.  Once dry, I adhered the Coffee sentiment to the card front with another sticker that says "you make my world happy".  LOL

I have one more idea but that will have to wait for another time. 

I'm also going to enter these cards into two card challenges going on -
