Its Tea Time!

Its the last day of school here and I am excited to have my children home for the summer!
I have created one last card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Summer Blog Hop but this one is not coffee, it is actually tea themed! I have a secret (ok, maybe not SO secret) obsession with Davids Tea so I thought this would be a good tribute.

The inside sentiment reads......its always there to comfort me.
The dies are from Lea'Abilities, and the stamp set is an older Close To My Heart one called
Tea-riffic. The papers are from Your Next Stamp called Hugs and Kisses.
As always, thank you for taking the time to look!
Happy Coffee crafting!
Sue

Coffee and more Coffee

Good Morning, here is another entry for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Summer Blog Hop!
I just love entering this hop and seeing everyone's amazing Coffee cards!
This card features a stamp set from Your Next Stamp called: Perk Up!
I coloured the image with Copic markers and used Versafine ink to stamp the sentiment.
I mounted everything on textures cardstock and used some paper from YNS called Crazy for Coffee.



Thank you for taking the time to look!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Sue

June Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!


Today is a great day at YNS because it is Feature Day!
We are inspired by anything and everything!

This months theme is to Combine 2 stamp sets!

For my Feature Day post I used a brand new stamp set called : Bugs and Kisses
This is such a fun set filled with bugs and some cute sayings!

I paired the stamp with the matching dies  and also used the new Flower Garden Die Set.
And for the second stamp set I used: The sentiment I used is from Aquarium Antics.
I stamped the little bee and then coloured it in with Touch Markers. Then I cut the flowers out of patterned paper and the dies as well as the flower pot and stems. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock and then assembled everything together!
Of course we had to have some embellishments so I added in some new
Tropical Paradise Gumdrops!

Here is what I used:

 Now its time to the YNS Blog, make a comment and you could win a 
stamp set of your choice!

Hope you enjoyed my card this week and wishing everyone a great weekend!

Thanks,
Sue
