I went back last week after taking a class in distress inks, to use a 50% off coupon and picked up a Distress Ink Kit that had neutral colour mini distress ink pads in it. Using one of the tags from the kit, I followed the instructions for blending then decided to use the coffee stamp & die set to make a card.
I stamped the coffee cup onto the tag, then I stamped it again on a scrap of cardstock and used Distress Inks to shade the cup, then I stamped a third time for the coffee sleeve and used more distress inks for slightly different colours. I used the included coffee cup and sleeve dies to cut out the stamped images then used foam tape to layer them over the original stamped image.
The tag was really long so I cut an inch off the bottom then stamped the sentiment from the Tim Holtz set on the scrap piece and cut it out with the coordinating die. I topped the tag with some twine from my stash and frayed the top.
I embossed my Early Espresso card base with the On The Go embossing folder then used some Walnut Stain Distress Ink on the cups closest to the outside edges.
I used my CTMH Shimmer Brush on the Coffee Sleeve to add a little bit of shimmer to the logo area.
