Miss You A Latte

Great sentiment from My Pink Stamper and good mug stamp from Inkadinkadoo which I Copic'd to coordinate with the background paper.
Layout is pure Gina K inspired and papers by Echo Park. I also found my sizzix die for paper buttons. I really liked that I could bring all of the papers together with the embellies.


Two of these to add the OWH box today.

I am trying to improve my Copics skills and this sweet little stamp from My Pink Stamper seemed a good place to start.
The background paper is made with perfect pearls. That border is cut with a die set from MPS, too. I love it when the die and stamp are a perfect pair.

Cricut and a Sketch

This card came together quickly and combines some of my favorite things - a cricut die cut, a OWH Sketch, cuttlebug folder and punny stamps from My Pink Stamper.
I added some little bitty ladies on the white liner inside to cheer up the black.
The sketch called for four stripes which is more difficult than one would think. I thought the polka dot folder mimicked the lady bug 'feel' nicely.

OWH Annual Memorial Day Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog, your next stop on the annual Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop!! To learn more about why I have let this hobby be a near obsession - click here for details.
This year we are loading cards made with sketches. I asked a group of crafty friends to pick a number and 59 came up first.

I stuck pretty true to the sketch adding only a sentiment (buggy puns from My Pink Stamper) and a ribbon on the strip of crumb cake topped on some great My Mind's Eye paper. I have only just started to play with the Pearl Pen and I think the effect on the butterfly and the dots on the ribbon are nice bright touch.
The focal image is made by gluing one butterfly (shadow image from Give A Hoot Cricut cartridge) to a bright white piece and running that in an embossing folder through the cuttlebug.
The finished butterfly is on some pop dots to give a nice dimension and focus.
Here is what the sketch originally called for. If you are new to card making or low on mojo - sketches are great way to light a fire!!
