50 stamps
Anyway, I decided that I wanted to put the coffee pot on a table so I pulled out Karen Burniston's "Lots of Pops" die and set the table using ECD "Stitched Squares and a Recollections edge punch. The embossing folder is Karen Burniston's "Coffee Bean". I used the shabby polka dot background only with coffee beans instead. I love embossing folders and tend to forget to use them. The cover looks a bit
like a napkin. It is very simple. I tried to add more to it, but everything I placed took away from the simplicity of the napkin. Once the recipient of one of these pop up cards receives them they rarely display the outside anyway. BTW: Not one new sheet of paper was used in this creation - only scraps!
I have developed a taste for coffee. My aunt who was a teacher told me that "I would be driven to it" by my students. She was correct. I have to have a cup in the morning and another after school. Now I've been retired for 4 years, but as soon as I hear the school bus at 2:50 I go turn on the Keurig.
