Thanks a latte!

I finally had an hour to myself in my stamp room last night. I have had this new set from Market Street Stamps called Daily Grind and have been dying to get inky. I stamped the coffee cup in brown ink and colored it real quick with copics. I cut the image out with an EK Success label punch and then layered onto a circle. The patterned paper is Echo Park's This and That. In keeping with the coffee theme, I ran the green card stock through my crimper. I finished it off with some pearls (colored matching brown with copics) and a sentiment banner cut with a MFT die.
Note: the kraft card base is some new kraft card stock from MFT--love it! Highly recommend it!
Feels so good to have ink on my fingers.
Thanks for stopping by!

Bless Our Home With Lots of Love

My oldest daughter and her family moved into a new apartment the first week of March. Gracie has a back yard that she loves and it is really close to my daughter's work. It is still way too far from Mimi and Poppy, but they are very happy.
I knew as soon as I saw the Home Sweet Home stamp set from Market Street Stamps that it would perfect for a housewarming gift. I used a Nestabilities die to cut the opening in the frame, love the corners.
I colored the house and tree (complete with tire swing) with copics and then cut them out. I found the sentiment and sun in the Day or Night stamp set from There She Goes Clear Stamps. Love it when it all comes together. I cut some cloud patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Fly a Kite pad and then tore strips of green card stock. I layered the strips to give a little dimension.
I stamped the sentiment (little angels up above; bless our home with lots of love) and cut it out with a MFT first place award die-namic. I finished it off with a couple of green rhinestones.
Can't wait to get it in the mail!
