A Nice Cuppa

How would you finish this sentence → “There’s nothing better than a Nice Cuppa…”

It probably will not come as a surprise to most of you, but I would say there’s nothing better than a Nice Cuppa coffee. I love the smell of it…I love the taste of it…I love collecting coffee mugs…I have multiple coffee decor items…my husband roasts our coffee beans here at home so we always have the freshest coffee in town…what else can I say? I simply love coffee.

So naturally when I saw the stamp set called A Nice Cuppa with coordinating framelits called Cups & Kettles, I squealed a little bit:) I have been looking for ways to share how this bundle can be enjoyed by tea lovers AND coffee lovers alike. Be prepared to see many samples over the coming weeks.

Today I was working on a card with a challenge to make it “Big Shot focus”. All framelits require a Big Shot in order to die cut the pieces, but I’m talking about perhaps using the framelits in a different way. Here’s what I came up with:Coffee-First-3I die-cut the outline out of the front of the card…stamped and die-cut a black coffee cup to fit inside the opening…so when you open the card…Coffee-First-4Voila! You see this. What do you think? Pretty simple, but the colors are bold. I think I know a few people who are going to love this card.

I will be teaching a class using A Nice Cuppa stamp set and the coordinating Cups & Kettle framelits dies at our Stamp Cafe on Saturday, March 19th.

Sunburst

Let the sunburst in. There ‘s nothing quite like waking up to a beautiful sunrise. This was my view from our deck a few days ago. Just one of those moments that make you stand in awe of our Creator. Sunrise-1I don’t consider myself a morning person at all, but when I witness moments like this, it makes me want to be one:)

There is a stamp set and framelit combo in the Occasions Catalogue that will definitely brighten anyone’s day. The Sunburst Sayings stamp set and Sunburst Thinlits die is the perfect die for endless creativity. I’ve just started playing with it.

On this first one, the sunburst is just randomly cut to form a sun. (Thanks Kathy House for the design.) The clouds are punched using the Tree Builder Punch, and the balloon is stamped and punched out using our new Balloon Bouquet Punch. Isn’t this a fun happy card?Sunburst-2This second one is a little bit more advanced… a little more time consuming, but not difficult. If you like building puzzles, you will love this technique:) The sunburst is cut in multiple colors and then pieced together. It’s also placed at the bottom of the card…giving it an interesting angle.Sunburst-3Finally, this one was made with the Sale-a-bration set Hello. I just can’t get enough of this set. Brighten someone’s day with this quick and easy card. The paper in the background is from the It’s My Party Designer Series Pack and the clouds were punched from White Vellum Cardstock.Sunburst-1And this is just the beginning! There are so many other possibilities. Use the Sunburst Thinlits die as a layering element, to create a mask, or even for inking.

Thanks for stopping by…
I hope you shine in your little corner of the world today!

Coordinating Envelopes

I was sitting down today to make little thank you notes with coordinating envelopes…and then I turned on my laptop to see that the Envelope Punch Board is on the Weekly Deals this week!! Yay! I have sang it’s praises to my club members for a while now, and most of them have bought it already. But if some of you have been on the fence about it…wondering how much you would use it…let me say…ALL the time!

These are my customer thank you notes for this month:
Envelopes-2The coffee cup is die-cut from the Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies and the paper is from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack. Super cute 3 x 3 cards.

The Envelope Punch Board makes TONS of different sizes of envelopes…66 to be exact!! The directions and measurements are printed right on the board, so it’s very easy to follow. It also has a wonderful corner rounder feature at the top. (I did not use it on these envelopes though.) But it’s the only corner rounder I use!
Envelopes-1It’s on sale for $18.75! Seriously…what are you waiting for?
