Coffee Loving Cardmakers - Fall Blog Hop

I made this card for the last day of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall Blog Hop.

I won a gift certificate from Paper Sweeties in the Summer Blog Hop.  I decided on the Tea for Two stamp and die set. 

I have stamped the tea pot onto double sided designer paper from a 12x12 pad from KC Company.  I chose the polka dot side for teapot and the floral on the back side for the background. 

I embossed my table top from white card stock with a Sizzix Textured Impressions Plus - Field of Diamonds Embossing Folder.  I ripped the top edge and made it the same width of the designer paper.

I chose the mauve color from the DP and used it in the card base.   I stamped the teapot in black and die cut it.  I added several silk flowers in the bottom right hand side of the tea pot. 

I added a greeting stamped in a warm green on a Stampin Up Modern Label punch.  It was adhered to card front with 3D foam tape.

Submitting to the challenge for the hop which is to make a tea, coffee or cocoa related card.

Gender Reveal Party - Thank You Cards

I attended my first gender reveal party tonight.  Never heard of it before. Not sure if it's a trend. When everyone had arrived the cake was cut to reveal the gender of the baby.  The middle layer of the cake was blue so they are expecting a boy.  Everyone was excited!! The baby has a great great grandmother and some of great grand mothers and a couple grandmothers.  He will be well loved.

We were asked to bring something for the couple/baby. It was the gift opening before the baby shower.

I made these quick gender neutral baby thank you cards with the Stampin Up Little Additions stamp set.  The color combination of So Saffron yellow and Lovely Lilac mauve.  These are printed on store bought thank you cards.  Worked out well.

Cricut Tea Time

I made this card for a challenge at Cricut Bitten By the Bug2.  I chose a mauve card. I printed the sentiment in the top right hand corner and traced an oval with the white gel marker to hilight it. I cut the tea cup from designer paper with the Joy of the Season cartridge at 3".  I punched a bit of white lace with a Martha Stewart border punch.  I traced a Sizzix sizzlet flourish with a white gel marker to add some steam coming from my tea cup. I created a few markings near the bottom of the card with the white gel marker to ground my cup on the card. I adhered the tea cup to the card front.
