Quick cards with STAMPLorations Ephemera

Hello crafters, 
It's Day 3 of the Birthday celebrations at STAMPLorations and my first make is a coffee themed card:

For my background, I simply used a piece of paper (a freebie from a magazine eons ago) and added a few ephemera cut-out from the All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Outs pack. These come with a white border to help with the fussy cutting and I prefer no border so cut close to the image.

For sentiment I added a transparent sticker from the set All Things Coffee.
I refrained from adding anything as sometimes, less is more...

My second card is going for pretty and feminine with ephemera florals arranged in a frame:

The Floral Parade Ephemera Cut-Outs can be used as focal points but when I saw them I wanted to create a frame with them. My frame only uses 3 ephemera pieces (each has been cut in 2) for this make, placed on a 5.5" diameter circle card.  

The centre image is built up with stamps from the Blooming Buds set, using masks. (The stalk is bended, since one can do that with polymer stamps!).
