To create a coffee card with a “vintage” feel, I used the “Cup of Joy” digital stamp set. This collection features 22 images. 12 illustrations, and 10 sentiments.

Here are the steps I followed in designing this card:

Created a A2-size card base out of white card card stock.
Used a lace background stamp and Distress Oxide “Antique Linen” ink to create vintage layer and adhered on my card base.
Used PicMonkey on my computer to arrange the sentiment “You don’t age, you just became a Classic” from the “First Coffee” digital stamp set for the card front.
Printed the sentiment out on apricot-colored card stock and die cut it to be slightly smaller than the lace layer below it.
Created a small “lace doily” with the the same background stamp and ink and ran it through a “quilted” embossing folder.
Colored one of the cup and saucer images from the “Cup of Joy” collection using my Spectrum Noir markers, cut it out with my Brother “Scan & Cut,” and adhered it to the doily.
Added small pearls for a finishing touch

Hope you enjoyed my “vintage” coffee card!
