Coffee Themed Striptease


Hey - I don't make this stuff up!!!

This is for the fourth VSN Challenge - a Striptease! Don't send the kids out of the room. This is a PG13 post.

The Striptease challenge was to put something on a card that can be removed. See? Was that so bad?

So I looped a piece of candy striped ribbon around a Starbucks card and tied some gold cord around it.

Then I made a little sleeve for it out of Chocolate Chip DSP, punched a Riding Hood Red top note and used stamps from Winter Post and Like it a Latte to embellish. I love that little peppermint stick. Starbucks cards are a funny size.. Never noticed that before right now. I also have absolutely no idea why I'm using kraft cardstock on everything I make. Must be a fall thing. Looks cool with that red though doesn't it?

There's Dazzling Diamonds on the foam.

This was very simple & quick!

More challenges to come! :)

  2. Funny you should mention that kraft cardstock usage thing, because I have been dying to use kraft cardstock lately, and I have never ever owned any nor do I have any right now. But I feel as though if I don't get to use some soon in my paper crafting, I will burst (as the saying goes). Time to call my upline I guess. Yes, it looks awesome with that red striped ribbon and red cardstock.

  4. Your challenge cards have been really great - I like how they push (proverbial you) to be inventive and take a fresh approach to cards. That stamp is also very nice - I like the loose sketchy quality, it makes a nice and very fitting look for a starbucks gifty.

  5. Ok, now you made something cool with my favorite stamp set!! I always look for a reason to pull that one out of retirement. I used it in a Kwerner challenge recently on my blog. Definitely gonna try this one...
