Cup of Cozy

Hello stampers,

I'm loving that I've been able to stamp after dinner lately. Keeps my blog busy, LOL.
There are two challenges going on now helping to keep my inspiration going. Its day 4 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge and day 5 of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and my card is for both.

The stamps are from Concord & 9th and I used some winter themed patterned papers from Echo Park. The sketch comes from this week's Global Design Project.

The cup is stamped on X-Press It Blending card stock and colored with Copies. I did paper piece part of it with the patterned papers. Instead of twine, I used some old SU red/white polka-dot ribbon under the SU Stitched Label dies. I love how bright and fun this turned out. I found some Doodlebug stickers to add for embellishments. 

The inside stamps are from Verv.

Hoping to get some more stamping in tonight too. Thanks for stopping by,
Colleen

You're My Cup of Tea

Hi all,

How about a tea themed card on National Coffee Day, LOL. This card just kind of came together pretty easily using the new CAS(E) this Sketch. The stamp set is from Verve and I think it's the very first coffee and tea themed set that I bought.

The images are stamped onto some fall patterned papers from American Crafts call Pumpkin Patch. I stamped the cup using Memento tuxedo black, then masked it with a post-it to stamp the tea stains.  The tea cup is paper pieced instead of colored to coordinate with paper at the top of the card. I added some black crocheted ribbon from SU and some black rhinestones for embellishment and rounded the top corners with a corner punch.

The inside sentiment is Mama Elephant.

A quick post this afternoon. Have a great Saturday evening and rest of the weekend.
Thanks for looking in,
Colleen

Hopping By To Say Hi

Hi to everyone,

My card for the March Mojo Madness Contest was among the winners chosen by random and this is the set that I picked from Verve as my prize. Julie sent it super fast, so I used it to make my card for this week's Mojo Monday Challenge.

A quick post this morning as I have some errands to run soon, but then I plan to do more stamping later this afternoon. 

Thanks for looking in,

Colleen
