So now, I'm settling in with a nice cup of coffee and some stamping projects. Wouldn't you like to see this inviting basket when you show up at work or when you visit a friend? I put together this ensemble speedy quick thanks to some Just Rite stamps. I sewed these coffee themed fabric napkins (the blue material) this last summer and can't wait to have an actual visitor so I can use them for real. :)
Along with the coffee ensemble, I thought it would be cute to tuck in a few coffee themed stamped goodies. I used Papertrey's lined recipe cards to make some super duper simple lists. Have you ever heard Paula Deen say *it's so easy it's almost stupid easy*? That is this project!
Using JustRite Stampers set called Just A Little Caffeine Borders and Centers, I stamped some fun sentiments onto patterned paper. I stamped the border sentiments right onto the lined notecards. I then punched out my center sentiments and adhered them to the inside of my circle sentiments. Notice how the circle on one card hangs off the edge...that just adds a little quirky-ness, I love it. A little office paperclip was added....because if you're like me, one list just doesn't cut it. I always seem to add another list, and another, and another.......
So if you've got some good friends at the office or maybe you're having a friend over for coffee....try out these little notecards. You could stamp oodles in a matter of minutes. Keep it stylish, keep it simple!!
If you like the fabric I used, it's from Studio E......at www.studioefabrics.com . The brown paper napkins were in my stash from some time ago.Oh, and remember when I gave a clue that my next big Etsy kit has lots of brown? Well your guess of a chocolate theme were not correct. Any other guesses?

If it is not chocolate could it be gingerbread men or a gingerbread house. Perhaps it is a nice brown turkey. Love your coffee this morning!!!!
Hi Michelle - I am a new justright stamper and I've had some problems getting a good stamped image without smudges. Do you have any tips on how to use these stamp. It's fustrating to have to stamp it over and over. thanks for your help

My guess for the next kit with lots of brown is coffee themed.
How about Brown Snowflakes...I have seen a lot of very pretty brown ribbon with cream snowflakes this season. Loved your coffee though...As always Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day!
I'd say coffee themed, too :)
I like this stamp set, I just posted today my scrapbook recipe for coffee cake where i used them: http://zivljenje-je-lepo.blogspot.com/2009/11/coffee-coffee.html.
And I agree with Sandy, sometimes I have hard time stamping these images without smudges, too. This recipe was my firs project with JustRite stamps. Any tip would help.
I love your work. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Not chocolate??? Hmmmm....Maybe some gingerbreadmen or coffee theme. Or what about Santa's cookies? Sorry, haven't had lunch yet so all I can think of that's brown is food related. I'll try to put on my thinking cap and come up with some non food related guesses.
hmmmmm... how about a coffee or hot cocoa theme. I love your coffee ideas because I'm a coffee lover too! This is super cute and I love the quickness of it. Have a great quiet day to yourself!
Well I say coffee...otherwise, deer, lol! ;) Love you cute little coffee set up, I really need to learn to sew...it's about time!!! ;)
I'm in for the coffee idea as well, Mish...I love your things!!!
Your next kit is absolutely coffee themed!
If you are looking for a visitor to really appreciate your efforts on this coffee basket, I would be pleased to come and see you :)
I would guess the next brown would be coffee.
What a great greeting with your set for company. I am not a coffee drinker but it would work for tea also.
My guess would be cocoa! But, that might fit into the chocolate theme - hmmmmm?
As always, your post is just wonderful. Love that fabric & your cute notepads are really fun. By the way, you & your hubby are welcome for venison at our house. My DH was lucky this year. Of course, Reno is a long way for you to travel! Hugs.
Hum, coffee is brown . . . I'm guessing coffee. I love your bvasket and note pad, today.
If it's not chocolate, then that only leaves a coffeecocoagingerbread combination and we're all assuming that it will have a food theme.........which just might mean that you're going to surprise us all!!! can't wait to find out...

Something for a brown kit ... hmmm... could it be an 'earthy' theme?
hmmmm....coffee? gingerbread?
Okay my guesses are hot cocoa, coffee or gingerbread cookies.
Hi Michelle,
If it is not chocolate, then is has to do with a coffee theme.Love your project, and I wish I could sew. Alice Roushia
Very cute. I would love something like that if I showed up at someones house. I love the napkins you made. Is the big one under the cup and napkins a placemat or just like a centerpice for the display? I just started back sewing and have my nakins cut just not sewed yet. Cards keep calling my name. :)
I am not a good guesser, but how about something to do with coffee!!!? or gingerbread?
Great set. Love the fabric napkins. I would be happy to come over for coffee if I didn't live on the other side of the country!
Well, since my favorite thing to make our family is gingerbread cookies...that's my guess. Can't wait to see if it is gingerbgread something and what you might do with it. Thanks again for all the inspiration you give us eachd ay. Nancy in So Cal
My immediate thought was hot chocolate but looks like you have something else in mind.....now I'm curious! laura j
after today I'd say COFFEE!! :)
love the brown and blue color combo and that fabric is to die for! love the notecards - what lucky friends to be on the receiving end of this thoughtful gift. i'm drinking a cup of coffee right now and it's heaven. thanks for sharing your creativity and talent.
I agree I bet it is coffee and chocolate themed can hardly wait to see it....
it could be tea too????
My guesses seemed to match what everyone has guessed. First was the obvious coffee theme and then my mind turned to deer (whether that be the kind that your dh was after or the "rein" type that pull Santa's sleigh).
My dh is a hunter too and we're heading up to my stamping partners house for 10 days on Thanksgiving. Her man is a hunter too and they'll spend their days hunting while we stamp...woohoo! Can't imagine anything more fun than that...unless it also included some of those fabulous napkins and gift ensembles that you always come up with!
