You can find this stamp set on page 105 in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. It was designed by Sandi Rule, a Million Sales Achiever. I don't drink coffee but I love the card! I would have to change the title to Tea with Friends! Enjoy this easy technique! |

Instructions
· Cut the next to the largest Stylish Shapes Dies Square in Basic White.
· Stamp the girl with the coffee cup on the above piece making it a diamond. Color her using the Azure Afternoon Blends, Bubble Bath Blends and Wild Wheat Blends.
· Adhere it to the center of the Basic White piece 5 ¼” x 4” with adhesive.

· Adhere one of the 5” x ¼” pieces of Azure Afternoon. Butt it up to the square – it will go off the end of the paper – that’s okay – you’ll be cutting it off.

· Do the same with the other three pieces, butting each one up to the previous one

· Turn over the piece and cut off the excess strips
· Add the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper to the white. You will notice two opposite sides are smaller and use the 3” x 3” on those and the larger ones on the other two “squares”

· Turn it over the cut off the excess

· Adhere this to the Azure Afternoon card base
· Add the Tinsel Gems
· Stamp the coffee/croissants to the Basic White 5 ¼” x 4” in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and adhere to the inside of the card.
