Heartfelt Creations Alumni Hop: How Ya Bean? Coffee Talk Card Tutorial
Hello, Friends! Welcome to the December 2016 Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop! I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas holidays with your families and friends! If you have any last minute cards or gifts to make, this How Ya Bean? Coffee Talk Card tutorial might come in handy!
I just love the Coffee Talk Collection! It’s playful and whimsical and lots of fun to play with. Here’s how I created this 5×7 top fold card.
How ya Bean? Coffee Talk Card Tutorial
NOTE: I ink all my cut edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink
- Create a 5×7 top fold card base from light blue cardstock.
- Cut a 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ panel of the brown text paper from Coffee Talk paper collection.
- Mat a 3.5″ x 5.75″ panel of coffee bean paper to light blue cardstock. Mat a second time on navy cardstock
- Repeat this process using the decorative panel from the paper collection.
- Glue onto card base as seen in photo.
- Cut a 5″ x 2″ strip of designer paper from dark blue pattern and mat onto light blue cardstock.
- Create a belly band by die cutting 2 looped borders (HC Border Essentials Die) from Navy Cardstock. Glue onto the back side of the prepared belly band. Glue in place in the center of the card.
- Die cut the sentiment circle from the pre-made card fronts. Glue onto a Spellbinder’s Lacy Circle Die.
- Use foam dimensionals to add the circle sentiment to the card, as seen above.
- Stamp Sun-Kissed Fleur onto light beige patterned designer paper. Heat emboss with clear powder and die cut with Sun-Kissed Fleur Die.
- Sponge Weathered Wood Distress Ink onto petals.
- Shape with Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit using large ball stylus.
- Glue layers together. Add gumdrops to center of each flower.
- Spray with Mountain Mist Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.
- Glue in place as seen in photo.
- Tie a double loop bow with Blue Mixed Confetti Dots Grosgrain Ribbon. Place a dot of hot glue under the flower petals and use the tip of your scissors to push the knot in place.
- Add Ivory Burlap String Bow.
- Tie a triple loop bow with Blue Topaz Taffeta Ribbon. Glue in place. Add button.
- Fussy Cut coffee cup from paper collection. Attach with foam dot. Add one small flower.
Checking out the details
Sun-Kissed Fleur look amazing with these fabulous ribbons!
I chose to add a pocket inside my card. Because, let’s face it…who doesn’t love a pocket card filled up with fun goodies?
The top half has been decorated with a cut out border, a card front, and a cute little sentiment tag.
The pocket inserts are cut from the paper collection and then mounted on kraft cardstock.
For extra fun, I wrote out the recipe for my favorite Sour Cream Coffee Cake. And what goes with coffee and coffee cake? Dark chocolate, of course!

This is so pretty!! Love the beautiful blue flowers. That bow is stunning!!
Thank you, Berina! I love to make flowers!
Simply gorgeous! I have this paper collection and I am going to use it in 2017.
Oh, goody, Varonica! It’s a wonderful collection and very fun to play with. Thanks for the sweet comment!
What a fabulous frilly delight! Both Inside and Out – I love the Joy cup and who doesn’t like chocolate and coffee??!! : )
Beautiful card! I just love the colors of blue and brown together. Great layering and gorgeous flowers. Thanks for sharing.
I love this card!!
(Also, I apologize if I have a duplicate post here, my computer is acting up and i can’t tell if my comment went through or not!)
Thanks for the lovely comment! When you say something twice, it means you really mean it, right?
Wow! Stunning.
Kathy, One of my resolutions for the new year is to do better keeping up with my e-mail. We’ll see how that goes. So here I am going through some of the e-mails as of late than I decided to keep and browse through once I’ve done some tidying up–my little treat for decluttering today. Well, what do I see but this beautiful card and a fabulous tutorial to boot! Another resolution is to actually follow some of these tutorials to see if I can even come close to making something as gorgeous! Now that doesn’t mean I’m running out to buy the new products, but you are certainly tempting me! This paper collection needs to get into my stash, because I am a coffee worshiper! Nothing fancy, just home brewed will do! My favorite detail on your well appointed card, of course, is your inside pocket–always a favorite of mine. But your color choices are fabulous! Love the blues against the neutrals!
A double bonus is a chance to win some of these awesome products, so here I go off to hop! I think I deserve it after a morning of decluttering, don’t you? Sending my wishes and prayers for you and your family to have a healthy, happy and for you, crafty New Year! Hugs!
Absolutely fabulous, Kathy! This is such a creative idea! I really want to try making one of these! Love the flowers and your amazing coloring!
