Happy International Coffee Day, crafty friends! 🍂☕We’re celebrating in true This Calls for Confetti style—with coffee, creativity, and community. Today marks our very first Hashtag Happenin’ Event on Instagram, and we can’t wait to see how you brew up your crafty magic with our coffee-themed products.

Celebrating International Coffee Day with style and creativity, accompanied by designs and a warm cup of coffee.

Freshly Brewed Inspiration

I’ve been busy at my craft table pulling together cards that highlight some of our favorite coffee collections. Here are a few recent projects featuring Daily Grind 6x6 Paper Pad, Daily Grind Ephemera, Windowscape Dies, Ghostly Greetings, Wicked Webs, Hello Elongated Die, and more:

Let’s Meet for Coffee – a warm café scene card layered with Daily Grind ephemera, framed in a grid for that picture-perfect invitation.
Eat, Drink & Be Scary! – a Halloween twist with a ghost, pumpkin, and webs peeking into the coffee shop through the Windowscape die.
Coffee & Friends – patterned coffee mugs in the background and cozy coffeehouse vibes framed with the Hello Elongated Die.

Want to recreate the samples? Here’s a quick guide:

“Let’s Meet for Coffee” Card

Cut a background panel from the Daily Grind 6x6 Paper Pad into 4 - 2" x 2.125".
Cut color coordinated cardstock from your stash; 4.125" x 5.375" and adhere to an A2 sized cardbase using tape or glue
Use foam adhesive add the Daily Grind grid cut in Step 1
Layer café scene ephemera in the center with a circular die.
Add sentiment strip: Let’s meet for coffee from the ephemera pack

Handmade card featuring a charming café scene, with the phrase "let's meet for coffee," from the This Calls for Confetti Daily Grind 6 x 6 Paper Pad and Ephemera collection.

“Eat, Drink & Be Scary” Card

Ink-blend a brick background using the Brick Stencil onto an A2 card base.
Take one of the 6x6 coffee shop scenes from the Daily Grind Paper Pack and cut it in half; the 3-inch section fits behind the windowscape die, requiring only some detailed cutting around the top to complete it.
Die-cut a Windowscape Die from teal cardstock and layer it over foilable acetate that has had gray alcohol ink added to it. I use my rechargeable airbrush to move and dry the ink on the acetate; adhere it to the Windowscape die with glue, and let it dry.
💡Put the inky side of the acetate facing the card.
Use mounting foam to the back of the Windowscape and adhere to your coffee shop scene, adhere to brick stenciled cardbase (A2)
Add ghost and pumpkin from Ghostly Greetings and Wicked Webs for the Halloween touch.
Finish with sentiment strip: Eat, drink, and be scary! from the Spooky Sweet Sentiments Stamp Set

“Coffee & Friends” Card

Use coffee-mug patterned paper for the background die cut using the Hello Elongated Die Set.
Frame a cozy café ephemera scene with the Hello Elongated Die.
Use This Calls for Confetti's Coffee Rub Ons for the sentiment: Life is better with coffee & friends.
Layer everything onto card base for a polished finish.

☕ From The Vault

Coffee never goes out of style—and neither do coffee cards! For this event, I dug back into The Vault (yes, that’s what we’re calling it 😍) to revisit some of my past creations.

A clean and simple, ink-blended Coffee Time Die Cut with Coffee Rub-Ons.
Shaker cards filled with our no-hole sequins.
An elegant card featuring a cozy coffee scene and coffee rub-ons.

The Vault is a reminder that your older TCFC supplies still have plenty of creative life—mix them with newer releases and watch the magic happen!
