Birthday Coffee
A Birthday Coffee
Who wouldn’t love a birthday coffee? Well, I suppose anyone that doesn’t drink or like coffee wouldn’t think it was a great birthday gift. I do know that the person getting this card does love coffee.
I have been missing from blog land as I spent a week away – no internet access – ohhhh, painful. I’m back now and so I can get back to having fun!
I really enjoyed creating this birthday coffee card. As my creativity jumped into gear, I had coffee stains and drips going on. It just a fun time.
The coffee stains were created using the lid from one of the embellishment containers, the rim dipped in Baked Brown Sugar ink and stamped randomly on the card front and the drips came from one of the splatter stamps in the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set ( I think this stamp set will get lots of use).

Coffee has been around since the 13th century and it was first used in Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya. Since that time coffee has become a thriving industry in many parts of the world. There are many reasons as to why people drink coffee
- they like the taste
- can make you feel upbeat, enthusiastic, “sharper” and alert,
- it is good for you (although there are probably as many reasons to not drink coffee as there are to drink coffee. – the debate will continue),
- and it is purely a time for people to be social and chat.
Of course there are those who take an entirely opposite view…
Happy Stamping
