Sometime you just want to grab a cup!

If you like coffee, tea, chai, latte, cocoa or even a cup o' soup you, will fall in love with this 3 dimensional version of the "coffee/tea cup".

It is simply adorable and perfectly sized for a variety of options.

You can fill it with a variety of gifts, or use it as the perfect party favor!

If you love anything that has to do with hot beverages you will definitely want to view our Grab a Cup ©, Grab a Cup Sentiments ©, Fancy a Cuppa ©, Fancy a Cuppa Add On © , and the A Spot of Tea © stamp sets!

Is this cup not just the cutest thing you've ever seen?! I just LOVE it! You may remember long ago i turned the Bouncing Baby Buggy into a coffee cup. I'm just a smidgen obsessed with coffee! So just imagine my GLEE when Lauren created this super adorable cup which by the way, definitely makes a better coffee cup than i made before! hahaha!

I printed the Cafe Text paper from the All Steamed Up pretty printables paper pack and GASP printed the pdf file onto it. Yep... i did NOT use my cricut for this one. Sometimes it's just fun to go a little old school. hahaha. The base was printed on coordinating cardstock.

To the right you can see a better view of the handle and the inside of my mug. I SHOULD have printed a color on the other side of the paper but I didnt think about that at the start, only when i put it together and thought... oh... it's just white in there. Well thats boring. hahaha. So i pulled out my trusty copic airbrush and quickly blasted the inside a nice coffee color. Much better. :D

Now onto my card... i printed more papers from the All Steamed Up pretty printables paper pack. And then got to work with some of the SUPER fabulous new stamps!

Most notably the HUGE coffee cup! This is from the Fancy a Cuppa stamp set. I love that you can stamp in a pattern for the cup!! And there are different options for girly flowers to more masculine checkered. I went with solid because I already had a lot going on with my card! There is also a cup outline ( i used that too) but it makes it perfect for paper piecing.

My steam above the cup is actually from the Grab a Cup stamp set. It may fit the stamps of coffee cups better in that set than my GIGONDOR coffee cup on my card, but by adding 3 steams, i think it works great!!!

Next up is my sentiment...

Just Expressing my Thanks is from the Grab a Cup sentiment set. OMG - this set is a MUST have for coffee stamp collectors! You will use it with EVERYTHING coffee related not just the MTME stamps. You will LOVE IT, i'm telling you!!! :D

I added in the coffee cup from the Fancy a Cuppa set (the same set i got the big mug from).

So thats my card for you today! Be sure to check out Lauren Meader's, Catherine Doucette's, Stephanie Kraft's, Tammy Hershberger's and Pam Imholz's blogs as well as our guests for the month, Debbie Marcinkiewicz and Ashley Canon Newell! I still pinch myself for being surrounded by such talent!!!!!
