Caffeinated Happiness Card

Happy Friday! Sometimes life doesn't go as planned and sometimes it's for the best. It's been a crazy week for me but I finally had time to make a card for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. The image is by Jessica Lynn Original and I paper pieced the coffee/tea cup and then colored the cactus with Stampin' Blends markers in Green Apple with a touch of Lovely Lipstick for the little flowers. I debated about a sentiment and finally came up with Caffeinated Happiness which I made using the computer. The scalloped frame around the image was made using a die cut by Taylored Expressions. All the papers were found in my scrap bin and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Cuppa Cactus Card

Happy Sunday! After working seven Sundays in a row, I finally had today off. It was nice to relax and get a few errands accomplished. While out shopping I bought a fun paper pad called Well, Hello by My Mind's Eye. It's full of bright colors and trendy images. The cactus paper worked perfectly with the Cuppa Cactus stamp set by Newton's Nook. The layout for this Cuppa Cactus Card comes from the sketch at the Krafty Chicks Challenge. The cactus image was colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating dies. White embossing powder was used on the sentiment with a blue cardstock. That's it, simple and easy! Thanks for stopping by.
