VLV Sketch Challenge: Fabulous Birthday

Surprise!  A birthday sneaked up on me.  DH needs a card tomorrow.  So very thankful that the Verve sketch includes measurements and that I picked up a birthday themed paper stack at Tuesday Morning recently!  Added a favorite Verve stamp from Better Together and this quick masculine card was finished!

Thanks for taking a peek,
Christine

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Thanks a Latte

Progress on my summer project has been delayed until one of the pieces falls into place this afternoon.  Until then, stampers gotta stamp!  This card was made using two Verve Stamp sets:  Coffee and Fill My Cup.  The images were embossed on watercolor paper and topped with distress oxide inks in Worn Lipstick, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio.  The central coffee cup was also stamped on watercolor paper, and I tinted it with a very dry water brush dipped in Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  The enamel dots are hiding the adhesive behind the vellum.

Thanks so much for visiting,
Christine

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Happy, Happy Birthday!

This birthday card is for my sweet niece who has grown up to be a lovely young woman with a kind and coffee-loving heart. What fun it was to make this card!  The background is cut from Papertrey's Mix and Mat Heart Die.  The little yellow bloom is cut with MFT's Stitched Flowers die set.  The coffee cup is from Verve's Coffee stamp set, and the Happy, Happy was masked from a phrase in Verve's Poppy Birthday.

Thanks for visiting,
Christine

Atlantic Hearts Sketch 266--Happy Graduation in Pinks

 Oh, I love the Atlantic Hearts Sketch for this week and can't wait to see the challenge entries.  My wreath was created using the smaller flowers from Bloom Brighter and Sprightly Sprigs cut from a sheet of variegated green paper.  I used Pixie and Smoothie inks from Close to My Heart and a sentiment from Sparkly Dreams, finishing of with a few adhesive-backed rhinestones.

Thanks for your visit,
Christine

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Playing along with the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop was my "reward" for getting lots of things marked off my to-do list today.  I had fun using the Something Blue Prima papers and layering lots and lots of dies behind the cuppa joe from Verve's Coffee stamp set.

Thanks so much for visiting,

A little bit of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus

I am so thankful for a little time to make a card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  It is always such fun to play along.  Last year, the hop occurred when my schedule was nice and slow, but not so this year.  I am glad to get to sneak a card in!  This one was created using two Verve sets:  Happiness Is and Fill my Cup.

Thanks for visiting,
Christine
