Java Joe’s Coffee Cafe Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #313 whose parameters were: a bridge card, salad colors, “starts with J” element and swipe(s)(ing). I created this 4.25×5.375-inch A2 card using Honey Bee Stamps and dies.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the back bit of cardbase from a 4.25×5.875-inch rectangle scored at .25 on each short side. Cut two 6×6-inch pieces of patterned paper into eight 1.5-inch strips to act as the bridge pillars to connect the coffee bar to the back card base.

Coffee Bar: There are lots of small decorative pieces in the Honey Bee Lovely Layers: Coffee Bar die set. (See the Layer Guide to determine how they go together.) Cut four of the large bar die from red. Cut four of the awning from green and four of the awning fringe from a cream mica sprayed cardstock.

Signs: Swipe the sign dies with brown ink cube before die-cutting. Cut two of the large sign die and four of the small coffee sign die. (I cut one of the large sign and did not ink it to create my JAVA JOE’S sign using a fine line marker.)

Sentiments: The “May your coffee be as sweet as you” on the inside of the card and the “How have you bean?” come from the Honey Bee You Had Me At Coffee stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope with a stamped sentiment and two tiny die cuts of a coffee pot and and a bag of coffee beans both colored with alcohol markers.
