Card Clubhouse IG Hop - Week 7

Hello lovely friends; I'm back to share my card for the new Card Clubhouse IG hop organised by my sweet friend Kelly. We are on Week 7 and as it's 'April Fool's Day' our theme is 'just for laughs'. I'm sure we all have some funny or punny sentiment stamps or images in our stash so grab them and join in the fun! We can't wait to see what everyone makes. There are going to be so many awesome creations along the hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.
I was searching through my stash and found this fun coffee themed sentiment stamp, which I'm not sure if I have ever used (and the store closed a very long time ago so shame on me!).  I paired it with a to-go coffee cup and I think it turned out super fun.  I hope you like it too.  
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using a coffee ring stamp created my background; I also ink blended around the edges for a softer look using the same brown ink pad.  I die cut the to-go coffee cup and adhered the pieces together with liquid glue and added some white highlights with a gelly roll pen.  I stamped and heat embossed both the sentiments using kraft card and gold embossing powder and fussy cut the coffee word and used my trimmer to cut down the other sentiment.  I adhered everything onto the background with foam squares.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and adhered it to the card base with double sided tape.  I finished off with a few red sequins. For the inside I cut another white panel and stamped and ink blended along the bottom to match the front.  I die cut another cup and adhered it to the bottom right corner with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with brown ink and adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

As You Like It challenge - favourite embellishments (I really like these smooth sequins without the hole as they are pretty and suitable for all types of cards)

What a fantastic card! And that funny surprise with the finished sentiment inside! I really laughed at that sentence too. There's definitely some truth to it. And there is no chance without coffee.
A beautiful design. Your repeated stamping looks like a great frame for the wonderful "coffee to go." Simply perfect! The colors are fantastic too. It goes perfectly with the coffeetheme.
Thank you so much for sharing this great card in the current Do-Al(l) Kreatives Challenge!
Hugs and Happy Easter! Uschi

Thanks so much for sharing your coffee themed card at FQ Grocery Game Challenges for our anything food/drink theme!!! I love the coffee rings border frame for the cup! And the dark brown ''blobs" are reminding me of coffee beans!! Well done!

I agree with you on the sequins. These days the flatter and lighter the better as far as posting goes, right. And they add such a nice way to lead your eye around this wonderful card. Thanks so much for sharing with us over at As You Like It Challenge, hope to see you again next time!
