Coffee Cup Card

Yesterday I was invited to a friend's house for lunch.  She and her husband had moved into a 125 farm house in the country and had restored it to its original glorious splendour - and of course wanted to show it off.
The place was gorgeous!
While I was there I saw this coffee cup card - a housewarming card.  Everyone knows her love of all things coffee and tea.   My friend kindly loaned  the card to me so that I could make a similar one.
It wasn't an easy thing to do. 
First I had to made a template, which was a chore in itself.  But I am pleased with the outcome.
Here is the card:

This is the front view.

Here is the side view showing the fold at the top. 

The back view of the card is the same except there is no sentiment.

Stamp: Friendly Phrases
Inks: Basic Black
Papers: Whisper White, Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Wild Wasabi, Everyday Enchantment designer paper (retired)
Accessories: Blossoms punch, Blossoms petal punch, glimmer brad, Square lattice embossing folder

Below is the original card.
