"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous!"

(Coco Chanel)

My best friend bought me a coffee mug last year for my birthday that says, "I'm not a shopaholic. I'm just really into stimulating the economy." Let's just say, that is so true! So when I came across this stamp set from Close to My Heart, I just had to have it.

This is my first card with the stamp set, inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I remembered I had bought square cards from CTMH so, I got to work, and produced this. I'm really happy with the outcome. And I LOVE that stamp set just as much as I thought I would. Also, the plastic card was really fun (and super easy) to work with too.

I don't usually like stamping with acrylic stamps...but CTMH produces an excellent product and I have absolutely no complaints!

Supplies:
Paper, Recollections paper (all)
Stamp, Fashionista (CTMH)
Clear square card, CTMH
Embossing folder, Spots & Dots
Spellbinders, Standard Circle and Lacey Circle
Rub-on, Bazzill Basics Paper

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU!

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU!
