Coffee Cafe Ragged Edge Card

Today's project is a quick and easy card using the Coffee Cafe Bundle (145331).
For this card I used layering to give it interest and the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper, which is perfect for adding more colour. 
I really love this suite, and fab news, it will not be leaving us! The stamp set and dies are carrying over, but not as the bundle offer. So if you do want it grab it now while it is still a bundle at 10% off!

Card Challenge; PCC #262 and Less Is More #349

Hello Stampers,

Today I am sharing my entry for the Less Is More Challenge #349 & combing it with Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challange (PCC262).

The for Less Is More Challenge we were to create a clean and simple card in the theme of Hot & Spicy Colours. For the PCC Challenge I chose to go with the middle row down; Baker's Twine, Fall and Punch/Die cut.

I pulled out the Coffee Cafe and Merry Cafe stamps sets and teamed it up with some lovely fall colours which also fit the 'hot and spicy' theme needed for the challenge. Keeping it clean and simple, I die cut the coffee cup as my focal point and added a fun Fall border down one side of the card. Finally I added some Twine and raised the stamped panel with dimensionals. 
And there you have a cosy clean and simple card :) 

Items Used:

Merry Cafe Stamp Set (144965)

Coffee Cafe Bundle (145331)

Linen Thread (104199)

Whisper White Cardstock (106549)
Smooth Whisper White Cardstock (106549)
Velum - for the lid of the coffee cup.

Inks: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red.
