Love Coffee, but with a twist? Send this fantastic espresso martini to Dad or a Grad, or invite a friend for drinks!
Today’s fun coffee card is from our designer Amy, who runs the Coffee Loving Card Makers Blog and Hops. She has taken her love of paper craft and coffee to the next level with this beautiful espresso Martine design that is making us thirsty. Amy said, “When we went on an Alaskan Cruise last summer, they had an Espresso Martini Bar. Well, this is an Espresso Daiquiri. It’s that time for Dads and Grads, so here is a “Cheers to You”! Follow along as Amy shows us how to craft the perfect paper cocktail.
- Cut the 5708-01D Wood Plank Panel Die with an A2 kraft panel. Adhere it to a solid White A2 panel and set aside.
- Using the 5812D – Swanky Nested Ovals Die, cut a panel for the focal part of today’s project.
- Run the Oval shape through the die cutter with the 5627 – Tattered Holes Die. Set aside.
- Die cut the glass and straw shapes from the 5317-02D Margarita/Daiquiri Die. Grab the coffee bean die from the 5706D Mix and Match Coffee Cups Dies. Here are the inks I used:
- Stamp the sentiment from the 35015 – Birthday Celebration set in Clover. Cut into a strip.
- On the Swanky Nested Oval, put together the Daiquiri and adhere to the panel.
- Add the stamped sentiment to the upper left hand side of the Swanky Nested Oval.
- Trim short strips of acetate [I upcycle stamp packaging] and put a small dot of liquid adhesive. Carefully place one of the coffee bean sides on top of the dot. Glue the other side leaving a small gap between pieces. Trim the acetate around the coffee bean. Repeat for the other two coffee beans. Adhere to the Swanky Nested Oval.
