Thank You Card

I know, I know! Where the heck have I been? It's been quite some time since I last posted, and quite some time since I last crafted. I've been busy with Homeschooling (we're finishing up for the year), and home renovations (yes, we ARE still working on those), and I've had some company (Grandma came for a surprise visit). So, lots of things have kept me busy and away from the crafting world. And during that time, I realized I needed the break. :)

I have a quick thank-you card to share with you today. My husband's cousin and his family invited us over for Sunday brunch last week, and it was SUCH a lovely time that I wanted to make them a little something to say "Thanks".


You know me - I can't resist a good coffee pun. ;)

Details:
A2 size card
Base: Kraft paper
All paper: scraps (I LOVE when that happens!)
Coffee cups: Paper Smooches Hot Concoctions, paper pieced
"Thanks": K Andrew Winter Wishes
"A Latte": K Andrew Coffee and Tea for You and Me
Twine: The Twinery "Cappucino" (fitting, yes?)

Challenges Entered:
Little Scrap Pieces - use a bow
Paper Playtime - anything goes
Aud Sentiments - anything goes
Crafty Catz - anything goes
Crazy 4 Challenges - use paper piecing

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

  7. My sweet friend, this is such a fantastic card! Coffee makes everything better and it certainly is ideal for a sweet gesture! I adore the stacked cups, which look marvelous paper-pieced. The design is divine.. I love how two of the cups match the background, with a pop of green in the center. And my beloved twine! **dreamy sigh** Excellent job as always, Nita. I am sure they loved this card. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
