A Latte of Thanks

With the cooler weather here, a terrific way to say thank you is with a gift card for coffee. Lisa M. here today with a great way to say thanks with a gift card.

I started with Flavours Gourmet Cardstock in Smoked Sea Salt (5" x 7" and 5" x 7.5", this piece was scored at 7" to create a tab to attach the back), Tangelo (4.25" x 6"), Chestnut Creme (3.5" x 5") and a piece of patterned cardstock (2.5" x 4.75") from my stash. Flavours Gourmet Cardstocks are on sale this month at CutCardStock.com.

I inked the edges of the Smoked Sea Salt with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.

Next I tore the "bottom" of the other pieces and inked all the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

I attached the patterned paper at the top. I layered the Chestnut Creme and Tanglo then added twine around the top. I attached this layer with foam tape.

Last, I die cut a bag from the A Jillian Vance Design Bag Die and the handle from the Watering Can Die Set out of Esse Cardstock Latte paper. I trimmed the rough edges of the top of the bag to make it look more like a coffee cup. The sentiment is also from A Jillian Vance Design.
