Cup of Thanks

I started with the cup.  I cut it with the Cricut and the Joy of the Season cartridge.  I chose some bright spring paper and cut the cup at 2.25 inches.  I added a narrow strip of blue card stock along the top and bottom of the cup.  I added 3 tiny yellow handmade paper flowers along the blue held in place with 2 tiny brads. The sentiment layer was created with a greeting from the Stampin up Tea Shoppe digital set.  Printed in Island Indigo and clear embossed.  The banner is 2.75 wide and 4.25 tall.  The tail was cut by hand.  The cup was adhered to the vellum with 3D foam tape.  The watercolor background was created by smooshing 3 colors of Tim Holtz Distress stains onto a waterproof mat. I used Crushed Olive, Mustard Seed, and Peacock Feathers.  I spritz the ink and then laid my glossy white card stock into it to capture the color.  Once dry, the layer was cut to 3.75 wide by 5 inches tall.  It is adhered to a card of Bazzil textured card stock in a bright warm yellow.

Card - A Christmas Wish

I created this card with several challenges in mind.
I started with a Stampin Up Whisper White card on which I printed a thin border on the card front in Pool Party.  I cut 3 pieces of Winter Frost DSP then applied them to non SU glossy card stock in an aqua which matches Pool Party leaving a small border. I glued them evenly spaced on the card front. I stamped the greeting "A Christmas Wish" from the Home for Christmas stamp set in Baja Breeze and clear embossed it.  I used a square punch to flag both ends of the greeting.  I cut 2 snowflakes with the Snow Flurry Bigz die.  The larger one in the glossy aqua card stock and the smaller in white pearl card stock.  The greeting was placed over the 3 panels and the snowflakes layered and placed to the left of the greeting.
