Coffee Anyone?

I was looking at some old photos that I haven't scrapped yet and came across these. Those two little girls are now 16! I was so excited to see these photos. When we lived in Oakland, we would go out to coffee after church on Sunday morning. The kids would have bagels and hot chocolate. My oldest always called her  hot chocolate her coffee so she could be like mom and dad. We loved our Sunday morning ritual. I guess I took pictures on this particular Sunday because my niece and nephew were with us. I'm glad I scrapped these photos and was able to document our tradition (written on a box hidden behind one of the pictures).

Supplies:
La Belle Vie paper pack (X7158B)- retiring at the end of the month
Trinity Alphabet stamp set (E1021)
Cup of Cheer stamp set (B1404)
Smokey Plum and Blush inks

Valentines

You can do so much with the Whooo's Your Valentine kit.

With the pink valentine, I used the stamp set that comes with the set. I cut the disc using the Cricut Artiste cartridge (page 50, 1 inch).  I filled the tube with valentine M&Ms.

The Cup of Cheer stamp set (B1404) was used on the coffee valentine. The tube is filled with beans.

The kit comes with a stamp set, paper, boxes and tubes. Plus the stamp set is so cute, you will use it again and again. All for just $10 with a $35 purchase.

This 3x3 card is made with the La Belle Vie paper pack and uses the stamp set from Whooo's Your Valentine.

The possibilities are endless. This kit is only available through the end of the month. Be sure to order it before they are all gone and have fun with paper today!

Coffee Anyone?

I saw the Cup of Cheer (B1404) set and I knew I must have it. I love my coffee. My good friend also loves coffee. For her birthday, I like to get her a Peet's gift card since Peet's is her favorite morning stop.

It only took me a few moments to put this card together. When I bought the gift card, I also picked up a sleeve. I used Scholastic paper, inking the edges with cocoa ink. I stamped the beans from Cup of Cheer across the bottom and attached the sleeve. I also glued the bottom of the sleeve so that the gift card would not slip out. Then I attached the paper to the card base.

Inside the card I added the sentiment and a cup of coffee. This picture is terrible! Sorry. I wish I noticed the picture was off before I signed the card and gave it to my friend at her birthday dinner. But you get the idea. This set is perfect for any coffee lover.
