When is the last time you made a card using just a single stamp set?! (and let's face it, when is the last time I stamped!) I had fun this morning taking my inspiration from a personal challenge to use ONE stamp set - Perfect Blend - and then use the beautiful Mojo Monday sketch for the layout.

I love the card sketch this week at Mojo Monday! Tall, narrow card and such a fun layout to play with. Of course the sketches are for inspiration, so take the sketch where it leads you.
I stayed pretty true to the sketch layout on my card and made it 3 1/2" x 5 1/2 (cut 3 1/2 x 11, scored at 5 1/2) with the Circle element set off the card front on the left. This fits perfectly into a regular A2 envelope. I used some scrap papers to paper piece some coffee cups with the Perfect Blend stamp set. To be honest, I made some paper pieced coffee cups and then when I was laying out this card, I ended up switching them out for some older ones from my stash ;)
For the Paper Piecing, I stamped the coffee cup several times onto different scraps of paper and cardstock in Early Espresso ink. These are also Heat Embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Then I trimmed out the pieces and layered the coffee sleeves and lids onto the coffee cup. The coffee cup lids are also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
