These two coffee card ideas for the Latté Love stamp set have been flittin’ around my brain for nearly a year—but the idea for incorporating a hidden gift card pocket was inspired by one of Yana Smakula’s creations. Super ingenious!

These were just fun to make using a simple faux watercolor technique that I’ve always loved.

So, anyone else as anal as I am about my card matching the theme or the colors of the gift card housed inside? I seriously doubt anybody who receives a gift card gives a flyin’ fig about that, so why, why, WHY do I ponder how to make them match at least somewhat???
