Here it is, Monday again - I swear the weekends go by faster and faster, lol! Mine was especially busy as I had two classes to teach and some regular home items to get done (we DO need to eat and have clean clothes, heehee) It was fun although I am not quite ready to go back to work! And, losing an hour did not help either, lol. But, the one thing I do look forward to each and every morning is my coffee - it is something I truly enjoy! For those of you who know me really well, you know I don't function at 100% until that first cup has hit the bloodstream :-) So, when this stamp set called
Morning Cup came out in this catalog, I HAD to have it! This is a card we made in a recent stamp-a-stack - and there were definitely some coffee drinkers because this card and stamp set were a hit :-) It's a pretty simple card to put together, but I love these bold colors together - funny, I never really used too many of our bright colors before, but with all the new ones, I find myself reaching for them a lot! The colors used here are
Night of Navy and
Daffodil Delight on a
Whisper White base - aren't they fun together?? The fun
polka dot patterned paper is actually from the Christmas paper set called
Jolly Holiday, but to me, you can use this paper year round - nothing on this card says Christmas, right? *wink* We punched the sides using the
Eyelet Border punch, and then punched out the background to the sentiment out of
Daffodil Delight using the
Decorative Label punch from the
Occasions Mini. We stamped all over it with the same color ink using the steam stamp - isn't it cute?? Then, we layered with a piece of the
Jolly Holiday punched using the
Modern label punch, and finally, the sentiment was stamped on
Whisper White in
Early Espresso, punching that out with the
Small Oval punch. It is popped up on
dimensionals, which really makes it stand out. For the main image, we created a tag out of some
Whisper White, then stamped the coffee pot, coloring it in with
blender pens and ink pads. Super fun and easy to do! Finally, we added some
Night of Navy and
Early Espresso ribbon and some super fun
Daffodil Delight pom pom fringe, and we were done! Super fun and easy to create, I really enjoyed sharing this one! If you are in love with the products used here (come on, you know you are!) you can order them in
my online store or
email me and I will put your order in for you! Remember, we are winding down the last few weeks of
Sale-A-Bration where you can get free products with every $50 order you place - you don't want to miss out when it goes away at the end of the month! Especially with all the fabulous things in the SAB catty this year - I swear, they just keep getting better and better! So many fun products to choose from - it's hard to decide what to get, lol! Soooo, I am now off to work, but I will be back tomorrow to share the Vintage Canvas that I taught this past weekend - I have to say, it is one of my all-time favorites and I am excited to share it with you! Until then, have a wonderful Monday and I hope you have some time to stamp today :-)
