I made another version of Wednesday’s coffee cup/coffee beans card AND another version of my Bird’s Eye View Birthday Card that I shared back on June 12th. Below I’ve included a few tips and pointers for these other versions, but you can find the main details for these cards on the two original posts.
Products I used… See below each card for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I actually had this second version of the coffee card ready to share on Wednesday… but forgot! It’s a side view instead of an aerial view of the cup.
In fact my supply lists that day originally included the two extra punches needed for this version. And when I finished my Live video I slapped my forehead and sighed. And then I got right to work updating the supply lists on my videos (YouTube & Facebook), my PDF, and my blog post. My apologies to you if you got the first supply list and were confused by the Ladybug Builder Punch and Cloud Punch.
Measurements for this version…
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
- 4” x 5-1/4”
- Scraps for stamping and punching leaves and coffee beans
- Early Espresso Cardstock
- 3/4″ x 4″
- 2″ circle
- Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
- ½” x 1”
- 2″ x 4″ for punching side-facing cup
- 2-3/8″ circle
- Scrap for punching handle
The only thing different from the card I shared on Wednesday is the cup on the front that is side-facing. To make this use the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch and punch from the 2″ tall Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. This will give you a flat top and bottom. For the handle punch the narrowest part of the Cloud Punch about 3/4″ into the edge of a scrap of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. Then insert the abdomen of the Ladybug Builder Punch so it surrounds the punched out area from the Cloud Punch and punch to form the cup handle. Stamp and emboss the sentiment onto the Early Espresso strip. Punch it out with the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. Assemble the cup as shown and add to the card front with Dimensionals.
(On the inside is the same size aerial view cup as my original card.)
So now the question…
Which of the cards do you prefer: the one with the side view I shared today or the one with the aerial view I shared on Wednesday? I’m leaning towards the side view. (Here they are side by side.)
Product List…
- small medicine cup
- paper towel
- water
Here is the 2nd version of my Bird’s Eye View Birthday Card that I shared back on June 12th
I needed more birthday cards. And I needed them quickly. So instead of creating something completely new, I just made more of a card I already loved. I ran out of the designer paper I used on the first version though, so I changed that out which lead to me changing the card base color, balloon color, and embellishment color. The directions from the June 12th card remain the same though.
Measurements for this version…
- Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
- 5-1/2″ x 6-5/8″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
- Basic White Cardstock
- 4” x 5-1/2”
- 1-1/4″ x 2-1/2″
- White Center 12×12 Specialty Paper (Lemon Lime Twist)
- 1″ x 5-1/5″
- Masterfully Made Designer Paper
- 2” x 5-1/2”
I used Lost Lagoon Blends Markers to color the balloon and a Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker to color the beak. The Pretty Peacock Sequins are the embellishment on the front.
Here is my new stack of birthday cards.
You know I’m gonna ask…
Which version of the card do you prefer: the one with the Lemon Lime Twist colored base I shared today or the one with the Azure Afternoon colored base I shared on June 12th? Though I DO love greens, I’m thinking that I’m still leaning towards the blue version. (Here they are side by side.)

I love both coffee cup views but lean toward the side view. That’s one I’m going to make my coffee-loving sister-in-law. Thank you for sharing, Rachel.
