Sunshine and Happiness

Hi everyone!  I was cleaning up in my craft room a little bit last night, putting away stamps that were laying out etc...and I came across this stamp set that I've never used before.  

I don't even remember buying this, but at least I feel safe thinking I didn't pay more than a dollar!  :-)

It's so cute!  Here's my take on sunshine and happiness:

My morning coffee!!  Love it and can't be without it!

The pattern paper comes from a paper kit I bought through Oriental Trading called April Showers - all the rest came from my scrap bin.  You'd think I'd be making a dent in by now, but not so much....

The sun was cut from the Doodlecharms cartridge at 3 1/2" and popped up with one layer of foam tape.  The coffee cup came from the Love You a Latte cartridge cut at 3" - the top of the cup, over the sun is popped up with one layer of foam tape, but I used two layers for the bottom so it was level.  The mat for the sentiment is from Art Philosophy.  It is rectangle 7 on button 35.  I cut the yellow layer 1.75" and the white layer 1.5".

I stamped the sun from that cute Studio G set on the top in Buttercup yellow, and the sentiment is from a My Creative Time set called My Favorite Sayings.  I carried over the pattern paper from the front to the inside as well to dress it up a little.

This card makes me happy  :-)  Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Coffee!!

Welcome friends!  It's another beautiful day!  I'm sitting here with my windows open drinking my coffee and watching my son play before we have to leave for school in a little bit.  All is well in my world right now!  :)

Oh coffee, how I love you!  I don't know how I would survive without you!  Today's card is inspired by my love of coffee.

To create the shape card I used Damask Decor Cricut cartridge.  It's on button 30 and I used the shift feature.  I sized it at 5" and welded them together in Cricut Craft Room.  Then I used the same cut about a quarter of an inch smaller and cut 2 for the inside and outside mats.

I ran the mat through my cuddlebug using the Wicker Weave folder and lightly inked it with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  The coffee cup came from the Love You a Latte Lite Cricut cartridge.  It's coffee cup 2 on button 15 and I used Cricut Craft Room to hide the steam so I could just use the cup and sized it to 3 1/4".  I adhered it with 1 layer of foam tape to give a little dimension.  The word art stamp on the coffee cup is an Inkadinkado clear mini stamp called Friends Words.  The border stamp is a Maya Road stamp called Vintage Wallpaper and the Happy Birthday stamp is from a PaperTrey Ink set called Year-Round Puns.

I lighly inked the inside mat with the Walnut Stain distress ink again.  The sentiment is a My Creative Time set called Just a Little Note to Say...

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  This will be available in my Etsy shop for purchase.

I'll be back tomorrow with a quick home dec canvas project.  Have a wonderful day!
