Design a gorgeous coffee tag to give to the coffee lover in your life!

Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! Katelyn Grosart here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog to share with you a fabulous coffee tag. Although I’m not a coffee drinker myself, many of my friends are, so this is a perfect tag to give to one of them. The jumping off point for my project was the new Coffee Themed Stamps by Pam Bray & Just Java Aroma Embossing Powder which are both from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. I combined the stamps and embossing powder with Distress Oxide Ink from Ranger Ink, Patterned Paper from Wild Whisper Designs, a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs, markers from Tombow USA, Superstock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, I was able to create my fabulous Life Happens…Coffee Helps! Tag. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage as I share with you how to recreate my tag at home.To start, use a blending tool with foam to blend Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink over top of a Distress Tag from Ranger Ink. Spritz the ink with a Distress Sprayer from Ranger Ink.Dry your tag with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink from Ranger Ink to the Coffee Sign Board stamp from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. Stamp the coffee sign board onto the top portion of the tag. Repeat the previous step and stamp on the bottom portion of your tag.
