Hey friends! I'm here today to share a happy card that I made for the MFT Color Challenge! When I popped over to the MFT blog and saw this beautiful color combination, I wanted to play right away! I went through my MFT stash and found some cute dies and stamps that I hadn't used yet and this is what happened! You warm my heart...just like coffee... LOL.
CLICK HERE to see the MFT Challenge blog post, and all the other entries!
Here is my shabby chic version of that gorgeous color combo! I used pretty patterned papers and got out the sewing machine and the distress tool... Full supply links at the bottom of my post. That coffee cut is entirely too fun. LOVE.
Here is the color combination for the challenge:
My coffee cup is die cut from cream cardstock and then gently inked around the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink and a sponge dauber. I about tore my entire craft room apart finding my Fiskars paper crimper!! I knew it was in here somewhere! Good thing I never get rid of anything, because it was perfect to make my coffee cozy! I added a pretty flower in some of the colors....
Here's a side shot of my layers. My sentiment is stamped in brown ink to match the feel of the card. I used die cut hears for my flower centers to match the saying. Can you see my mismatched sewing?
One of my tricks to making cards shabby chic is the fold the corners over like I did here. I use this a lot! Most of the time, there is another pretty color on the back of the paper too! My card base is kraft cardstock.
You have warmed my heart by coming by to see me today! I hope you liked my card, and maybe you will make one of your own? The challenge expires today - but there will be a new one soon! Enjoy the rest of your week everyone!

Oh my goodness - could you have matched that color combo ANY MORE Perfectly!! That gorgeous patterned paper looks like it was made for this card and this challenge - I love the stitching - even the wonky lines, gives it character!!! The use of hearts for flower centers and a doily for the background - ALL MARVELOUS and this card just thrills me and makes me smile, and Warms my HEART!!!! Hope you have a wonderful week making beautiful things!!!
