I created this interactive Halloween card featuring the Merry Cafe stamp set for my nephew. I thought he would find it humorous that the coffee cup was filled with bats instead of coffee.
Pull the heart tab on the coffee cup lid to reveal the cup's contents.
I'm sure you are thinking how did you make the cup narrow enough and short enough to fit inside the regular cup, be removable, and not interfere with the adhesive foam strips. I used the largest coffee cup framelit from the Coffee Cups Framelits set.. I cut 1 large cup from Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I placed the cup back onto the Big Shot Platform but a little to the right and a little upwards to die cut a smaller, narrower cup. I only cut part of the cup the second time. This is also called partial die cutting.
Partially die cutting the cup insert took a few tries, so once I got the size I was satisfied with, I made a template. That way next time I can go right to my template and know exactly where to cut.
After I attached the insert to the lid, I bent the bottom of the lid upwards to form a lip to catch the outer cup on.
I used the same layout and similar measurements to make a second Halloween card for my niece.
I love the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, especially the witch's hat and mosaic shaped patterns!
I wrote down my measurements. However, I made this card awhile ago and cannot find them. I have already mailed the card and cannot remeasure. I will keep looking for my notes and update if I locate them.
How have you used the Merry Cafe and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper? I would love to see what you create!
Thanks for stopping by!
