Sending ....

 you a hug in a mug .... 


Hi Friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for National Coffee Day yesterday. I really enjoyed making this slimline card. I have ventured from card styles that make me comfortable. I returned to the style that I have enjoyed making for years. This card is a refection of what I enjoy about card making. It calls to me in so many ways. My mother was a wonderful decorator and loved decorating her home. She loved a little bit of country decor because she said it makes everyone feel welcome, comfortable and at home. This card reminds me of her and the comfort you feel with your hot cup of 'designer' coffee or a hot cup of cocoa! It reminds me of the warmth and comfort of my mother and of our homes. Okay enough nostalgia ... Let's get on with the making of the card.

Front ...


I started with a 3.5"x8.5" base of heavyweight Kraft Paper.
I cut a frame using the slimline scallop die from LDRS several times with cardstock and then once with patterned paper by Pink Paislee. I glue 4 layers together and then I used the cream colored insert from one of the layers. This gave the front of the card some depth. I stamped the cream paper with some snowflake stamps and then dotted it with my zig pen.
I cut the mugs from Tim Holtz Christmas Paper pad from 2019. Inked up the edges with Walnut Distress Ink. I die cut the 'whip cream' from heavyweight cream cardstock. Inked up the edges and then stamped the 'sprinkles' with VersaFine Clair ink. I then stamped the sentiments. 
I popped the mug up with very thin dimensional and then popped the whole thing up with thicker dimensionals to match the height of the frame. 

Inside ...


I cut out a background piece of patterned paper from Pink Paislee with my Gina Marie Slimline Die. I cut the scallop piece from heavyweight Kraft paper using Trinity Scallop dies. Cut another mug and 'whipped cream' same as front inked them up and glued them together and on the card. I cut a piece of plaid thin ribbon. Cut the large snowflake from an old die I owned by Lifestyle. 

Thank you so much for visiting! I have made a list of the items used below.
See you soon!

Friends for all Seasons Outside …  I started with a 4”x8.5” base out of Kraft Cardstock by MFT { https://mftstamps.com/collections/card-stock-specialty-paper/products/heavyweight-card-stock-kraft }. I love this postage die from Whimsy Stamps { https://whimsystamps.com/products/slimline-postage-die?_pos=1&_sid=0875b22ee&_ss=r } I cut one from heavy cardstock then I cut one from pattern paper. I glued them together with Art Glitter Glue { https://www.artglitter.com/collections/designerdriesclearadhesive } I save the cut outs as I like to use them later, if I do not use them now. I popped the postage cut out with low profile pop ups. I then glued the cut outs inside the windows. This gives the ‘windows’ a window shadow effect which I really like.  I stamped the Sweet Besties from My Favorite Things {retired} with Momento Ink { https://www.scrapbook.com/store/gb-tsmp900.html?utm_source=bing-shopping-feed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=bing-free-shopping-feed...

A Boo to You ~

Outside of Card .... My first Halloween Card of the season! I enjoyed using some old stuff from my stash as well as new.  Started with a 3.5"x8.5" Base card cut from Orange Zest Cardstock and layered a Anna Griffin halloween printed paper underneath my Slimline Circle Plate Die Cut, in Pineapple Cardstock from MFT. The Circle Plate die is from Gina Marie Designs. I used the I then cut another Circle Plate Die Cut in Black and used a circle punch to create the Black Moon. I cut black spiders with a shiny vinyl paper and stamped A boo to you and layered with other circle dies. I pulled out my Garden Party dies from Ink to Paper to cut a Halloween Banner out of black licorice and Anna Griffin Paper and offset just a tad. I popped two spiders at the ends instead of the 'normal' bows. I also cut a confetti banner from the same Garden Party Dies in the Orange cardstock and added some black rhinestones. Inside of Card .... I cut a rectangle piece of Anna Griffin Halloween pa...
