Anyone for a Coffee Break at the Craft Spa Cafe?

Coffee with friends what can be better... apart from crafting and coffee with friends!!!

And yes... they loved this new Bench Fold Card.... though I was told off by Karen for not adding a cake!!! Oh these master bakers with a sweet tooth!!

Click HERE to go and order the tutorial (s)... though please note there isn't a specific Kitchen Table one...

Products from the wonderful Coffee Break suite... apart from the Wood Textures papers used for the kitchen cabinets... and the cabinet doors and windows care of At Home With You... for which my Class in the Mail details will be released very soon...

My favourite Coffee Break papers.... right up my colour street... the decorative coffee cups, cafetieres and jug all being cut out from these too (images roughly cut from the paper sheet, stuck onto some card and then fussy cut)

Greetings care of Coffee Cafe... available separately ... or as a bundle with the fabulous Coffee Cups dies...

And World's Best Trophy for the greetings on the blinds... and who can spot why I had got this stamp set out already!!!? Call it an AHA moment!!!

Happy Valentines Day... and as only a mother can....

Happy Valentines Day to you all... may you feel loved today.... you all deserve it...

And popping onto share what will greet my son, Joe this morning... made with love!!! And some sniggering and experimentation on the way.... 

A small and simple card on the outside... and a Large White Gift box topped off with a lollipop and full of lots of chocolate (which is the only thing he will care about!!!!)

So the card started off with a simple Happy Valentines Day stamped at the centre... and then I made up an Explosion Card insert (as first shared here) 

Then I thought could I add some die cut letters spelling LOVE?  And yes... but of course the stamping was a bit in the way!!

So then I needed to add something to the bottom... and then the top to balance it off!! Ending up with something wonderfully OTT!!

And yes I admit that a new make would end up in a different order!!  But I am sure you get the idea... 

So ... here is a step by step opening for you!!

And yes you do need to carefully pack the letters in as you fold up the card... but worth it! It all pops out just fine...

And here is a slightly better photo of the box... the new Lace Doilies made this lollipop decoration a breeze...
