When I saw Under A Cherry Tree post a card like this, I just had to CASE. It made "me" happy! The coffee mug came from Lettering Delights "Love you a Latte"set. I didn't have the font she used to make the white frame, so I made my own svg.
The idea behind the card is to make it look like the menu you see on a chalkboard inside and sometimes outside a little cafe. I also added the pretend chalk piece hanging on the side. I could send this to at least 50 people I know "just because". The first one is already designated to my friend Cheryl who has been helping me out while my husband is in the hospital; it can also be used as a Valentine card.

I also thought Jin's card was adorable, but I haven't tried it yet. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so CUTE! You put those extra touches that make it sparkle... Like the little chalk with rope and the today's special... Darling
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than a nice cup of coffee, I love it :o)

Wonderful happy card and it does look like a menu board with the 'specials' on it, in this card I guess that would be a hot mug of coffee! Fab job! I love your blog layout with the binder effect - neat!
