Coffee-themed Tag


Karen Letchworth, a super-sweet and talented crafter, left a message about the the Paper Sweeties March Challenge which is coffee themed.  I love coffee and have several coffee-themed stamps and dies, so I was ready to go!  This project started out with a card sketch and some carefully selected scraps that, unfortunately, I "mis-cut".  (Is that a word?  I cut them incorrectly for sure, so my plan was toast.)

With the cup already made, I cut the pink panel into a tag and went crazy adding a wild mixture of dies and patterns from a Heidi Swapp stack that's is about used up. The result is not my typical project, but I think I like it and am sure it will adorn a "coffee gift".

Adorable tag!! I love the coffee cup :) Wouldn't it be fun to customize our cups that way! I love all of your die cuts and energetic colors. I think a botched projects are sometimes a fun way to find new ideas. Thanks for joining us on the PIP Challenge Blog!

I think you pulled this one off - hearts, coffee - what more can there be? Love how mistakes can be reworked into something even more useful, like this tag. Thanks for sharing with the PIP challenge.
