Ten cups should do!

One of the items I purchased during that aforementioned Sizzix sale had not been used yet - funny how that one slipped through the cracks as it was the one I had been looking forward to playing with the most!

I've seen Tim Holtz's Papercut Cafe around for a while often used along with his signature 'distressed' look.  I've kept it CAS and spent an entire afternoon layering these darling cups! lol


First up: two cups for Color Hues #88 in Karen's chosen Blue and Yellow color combo, and second helpings for Freshly Made Sketches #639:

HoneyBee Gingham Galore paper; WF Hello Friend sentiment combo 


Then it was all about 'balance!'

More WF sentiment fun and gingham cut with their Nesting Postage dies!

Here is a little closeup so you can see all the fun layers that make up each cup!

Another WF sentiment; one of the layers from PF Slim Ornament Banners


Ten cups should do for now!  but you will undoubtedly see a few more soon!

So fun! I have eyed this set, but wasn't so sure I'd have the patience with all the little pieces! Love the cards you created!

Leslie Miller said...

It looks like a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! I love them all, especially the tall stack. All those fabulous colors, sigh.

My word, they do have a lot of layers. I don't think I have seen those dies before. Don't they turn out fabulously. A great collection of fun cards xx

Michele I love all of your coffee cards, that set has been in and out of my cart too mant times. I need to just get it before I can't. Your CH card is fabulous with all the die cuts and patterned paper. Well done my friend, well done!

An amazing array of cups! (Tell me more about that top photo!) Of course, I love your yellow and blue cups, and I love the way you used that wonderful patterned paper to copy the sketch! Brilliant, as always. The stacked cups on the slimline are a lot of fun, too. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

Adorable, Michele! I love each card, but I have a buzz just thinking of all this java!

Another set that I missed, but I think not being a coffee lover keeps me from really honing in on coffee cup sets. That being said, you always make me change my mind, and all these cards are FABULOUS!! Love the blue and yellow version...it's perfect for our color challenge, and of course the gingham totally brings it up a notch!! Totally loving the rainbow stack of cups card too...sooooo fun!! Thanks so much for sharing all this deliciousness with us at Color Hues!! Hugs. 😊❤️

Well, these sure are fun. I love the different ways you showcased them. And I liked the array you had on your desk. Glad you had so much fun with them. That is the best part!

I have never seen those cups for some reason, but I am in love with them, and with what you created with them. The last card is my fav - such perfect images to stack in different colors for a slimline design. I need these!

Jane Harrah said...

These are so cute. I have these dies but haven't played with them yet.

Bonnie said...

Looks like you are well caffeinated, Michele! I love the depth the layers give these cups and admire your patience putting them all together! Love the variety of colors too!

Loll said...

Each of your cup cards is adorable, Michele. LOVE the fun layouts and how you've used the postage frame for your first. These tea cups are so sweet, and made even sweeter in the pastel colours. xx

Oh my--a great reminder that I have that set.....somewhere? Cheiron enabled me to buy it and you've inspired me to look for it. LOVE the stacked ones with the white highlights. All so awesome!!

Nancy said...

I have eyed those cups for quite some time and you have done such a great job with them. I love the first two and I love the added postage element, however, the colorful stacked card made me swoon. Awesome, awesome post! Thanks for playing along at Color Hues. Now, I am craving a cup of Joe.

Bobby said...

Your cups of many colors are wonderful, Michele. The cups are so cute in pastel and the way you designed the cards around them is terrific.

Stef Perry said...

Those look like such fun dies to play with and I love all your designs! Fab card for CH, the sentiment couldn't be more perfect! Those cups make me want a cuppa but too late, I'd be up all night lol! Always love seeing your card in the gallery, Michele!❤️

Birgit said...

How wonderful are those cups all layered up like that!! These cards are all delicious and tempting me for another cup.

Kim S said...

Your cups are wonderful! I love that each one is on its own panel. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

Linda Callahan said...

How have I missed these delightful cups!?! The cups are fabulous and so are your designs!

Cécile RIBON said...

Once again this is absolutely brilliant, so creative! Thanks again and again for joining us at FMS.

Cindy Beach said...

What a stack of fun these cards make lined up one after another! Wonderful creations, every one! Thanks for playing along with us at Color Hues!

A fabulous array of cards and I too like so many others before me have had that die set in my cart and not pressed the button. You may have pushed me over the edge. I especially like how you have kept the cards cas which is my favourite technique. I have tons of Tim Holtz products but struggle with the grungy style these are a breath of fresh air.
