National Cappuccino Day - Festive Friday Challenge

National Cappuccino Day - Festive Friday Challenge

• Friday, 16 October 2020

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and a Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge #FF0070 is National Cappuccino Day on November 8th. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you! 

For today's challenge, I selected hot drink theme, brown, gold, ribbon or twine, die cut and cream/ivory from this week’s Inspo List.  I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create.  

My card uses the Nothing's Better Than from the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  I love how this card turned out - I think the combination of Balmy Blue and Early Espresso is really pretty.  The popped up "Coffee" adds just the perfect amount of detail.

I used Adhesive Foam Sheets - adhere to the back of cardstock and cut out using the die.  Then "pop up".

You can check out the instructions and supply list for this card below.
