Keep Calm and Drink COFFEE

 

I love coffee.  If I could have it in IV form I would had a continuous drip going.  These cards are actually a CASE of this one.  I changed the colors, added buttons, used a die for the word "COFFEE".  I got this stamp set and the matching dies just before I moved and this is my first time playing with them.  I just how the word "COFFEE" pops over the cup, it gives it a lot of emphasis.

Stamps:  Coffee - Verve

Paper:  Crumbcake, WW, DP, Ruby Red, Pacific Point

Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar

Accessories:  Buttons, Verve Coffee Die

Flowers for You

I think of this card as kind of retro because I used are old supplies that I have had for a few years.  Stamp is from an older SU Sale-A-Bration set.  The papers and punches I have had for a while too.  The sketch is from MFTWSC 198 from almost a year ago.

I made this card to give to give with a surprise gift to a co-worker.  This co-worker is going through the hot sticky summer while pregnant and needed more comfortable scrubs.  Everyone in the office chipped in and got her a couple of new sets maternity scrubs.  It is a blessing to work in an office where we can express kindness towards each other.  It was a blessing for me making this card as it stirred up my creative mojo and I had a lot of fun.

Wedding Congrats!

These cards were made for some people I know who got married recently.  My creative mojo is still lacking, so I went to Pinterest and found this.  It is such a beautiful card so I decided to CASE it, not only once but twice.  It is a very quick and easy design that I will probably be using again.

Your Kindness Shows

.

A very good friend of mine, and member of my Waterlilyz Table gave me a couple of stamps recently.  She is a very kind and giving lady, and a spiritual mentor to many.  I made this card card for her using one of the stamps she gave me.  

The stamp is a large background stamp by Judi Kins called Acorns and the sentiment is from Lotus Blossom by SU.  I meant to use a grey marker to color the tops of the acorns but I grabbed black by mistake.  It was until I colored about 5 of the acorns that I realized my error.  Close up the acorns look better than in the picture.  It is hard to see, but I sprayed a little Glimmer Mist on the background image to add some sparkle.
