This week, we had a fun sketch with a cluster of images. Check it out:<br />

<br />
My base is Early Espresso and I added a layer of Coffee Break Designer Series Paper in the wood texture. Then I stacked up a few of the coffee pot images I cut out from another piece of Coffee Break DSP.<br />
<br />
The sentiment I chose is from the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141870&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Bella and Friends Stamp Set</a></b>. The whole set is just so cute, but since this month has been all about coffee, I just used the sentiment.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the crew have been up to <b><a href="http://wp.me/p3p2Be-1Eu">HERE</a></b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And for me...nothing says "vintage" like a stovetop coffee pot! I'm pretty sure my Grampy had one on his old wood stove and I *know* we used one when I was little on our camp stove. :) Maybe that's where my whole love of enamelware started?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSset1ssy4Ky-BJequ4nTXFf5-LI3JcQolYK-u_DayYW43pecKG7Z9ffpvOIS0548HUEHdMozBsvcGmL5fMa3zV0wekJGECAAy49JMUXRBlIzKVw_y6oKkfQJ2gfM8_m-Mmv8YZxbMRw/s1600/Nov+22+-+PCC+269+-+Warm+my+heart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSset1ssy4Ky-BJequ4nTXFf5-LI3JcQolYK-u_DayYW43pecKG7Z9ffpvOIS0548HUEHdMozBsvcGmL5fMa3zV0wekJGECAAy49JMUXRBlIzKVw_y6oKkfQJ2gfM8_m-Mmv8YZxbMRw/s320/Nov+22+-+PCC+269+-+Warm+my+heart.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I started off with a base of Soft Sky and then went to town with the sponging and the scraping! Scissors and sponges and staining, oh my!! The Designer Series Paper from the Coffee Break with the coffee cup stains is just perfect for the vintage look, don't you think? The coffee pot and cup were cut from another piece of Coffee Break DSP.<br />
<br />
The sentiment is from the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=137163&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Sheltering Tree</a></b> stamp set.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT9sMLxJEuc9vFZVnt08Ze1rjzFhbv8CLDG9V4uzhRjcSKEd2cQEBPu8GRS7jjYUNCYvhxUeWILoRs1JsO2jnqKBrpR0agb_s4G1sOJ3ycxu6zySdO2lYW8KJrAy5zkKltIHosVXvBA4Q/s1600/21231741_10213885501109521_3227557259282756381_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT9sMLxJEuc9vFZVnt08Ze1rjzFhbv8CLDG9V4uzhRjcSKEd2cQEBPu8GRS7jjYUNCYvhxUeWILoRs1JsO2jnqKBrpR0agb_s4G1sOJ3ycxu6zySdO2lYW8KJrAy5zkKltIHosVXvBA4Q/s320/21231741_10213885501109521_3227557259282756381_n.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
And here's how I interpreted the sketch:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-82I2GwtMXzcCmpsHSk6SfSaVpLPICUjz309sNnBwWmhF0cJPWeW1Fg05mOZlj_bzxl2uBlGVS3aH4foI_tZG62-qw8DWZu1-r6wFPrbs5QIB-24Leukm0buXqUaM8KcljmxOwFoXdA/s1600/Nov+15+-+PCC+268+-+Side+by+Side.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-82I2GwtMXzcCmpsHSk6SfSaVpLPICUjz309sNnBwWmhF0cJPWeW1Fg05mOZlj_bzxl2uBlGVS3aH4foI_tZG62-qw8DWZu1-r6wFPrbs5QIB-24Leukm0buXqUaM8KcljmxOwFoXdA/s320/Nov+15+-+PCC+268+-+Side+by+Side.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I started off with a base of Soft Sky and added a layer of Early Espresso under the layer of Coffee Break DSP. I cut out both the circle and the scalloped circle using the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141705&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Layering Circles Framelits</a></b> and my Big Shot. The images on the circle were cut from the same sheet of Designer Series Paper that I used in <b><a href="https://handstampedfromtheheart.blogspot.com/2017/11/thanks-latte.html">this post</a></b>. You all know how much I love fussy cutting, right? :)<br />
<br />
The sentiment is from the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145297&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Beautiful Bouquet Set</a> </b>and I stamped it in Garden Green Ink. It was added to the image layer using glue dots. Rhinestones added the finishing touch!<br />
<br />
I put some little cups on the inside.<br />
<br />

No? Well...I like coffee - LOL! You could add MY name to your list. :)<br />
<br />
This week it's all about a game of Tic-Tac-Toe:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And...just like <b><a href="https://handstampedfromtheheart.blogspot.ca/2017/10/merry-christmas.html">LAST TIME</a></b>, I actually followed a line - LOL! The first column: Holiday Celebrations, Natural Elements, Favourite Stamp Set...at least it's my favourite stamp set this month - HA! It's actually TWO stamp sets - Coffee Café and Merry Café - but they go together, so that's ok, right?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1m5Jw4aWdjAjuFu_WEAfgfsREa_QouhRZUStjsbKH6u2pdsx51XXnAdtXPl24xAdSMUllrK-zFr759YLtEbtV7x8tK73_W3sSBKLwddoA7K-hCjxGXwR9L9WwxECsi6iiz2uOhhiGis/s1600/Nov+8+-+PCC+267+-+Christmas+Cheer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1m5Jw4aWdjAjuFu_WEAfgfsREa_QouhRZUStjsbKH6u2pdsx51XXnAdtXPl24xAdSMUllrK-zFr759YLtEbtV7x8tK73_W3sSBKLwddoA7K-hCjxGXwR9L9WwxECsi6iiz2uOhhiGis/s320/Nov+8+-+PCC+267+-+Christmas+Cheer.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I started off with a base of Soft Sky and added a layer of Coffee Break DSP. The little snippet that I cut off the larger piece of DSP was flipped over and adhered toward the bottom of the card front. I then wrapped Linen Thread (my very favourite natural element!) around the card.<br />
<br />
I cut out the cup elements and stamped the image on the "sleeve" before attaching it all to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals...and then...some bling!<br />
<br />

I mean...I'm pretty much ALWAYS all about the coffee, what with the Starbucks job and all that, but this month I'm all about the coffee on my blog!<br />
<br />
Here's the sketch we used this week at the Paper Craft Crew:<br />

<br />
And at my Starbucks job...you know what happens tomorrow? At the stroke of midnight...BAM! Christmas! And I can't wait! The store will be all decked out for the holiday season...new merchandise, new drinks...I can't stand it! I've been bouncing around for WEEKS since we started getting our "do not open till November 1st" boxes. SQUEEEEEEEE!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway...here's my card:<br />

<br />
I just LOVE sketches with all kinds of little "bits"! I can throw things around on the card front and really have some fun. :)<br />
<br />
For this one, I started off with a base of Soft Suede and added a layer of Soft Sky under the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper. I then added some <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144160&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Soft Sky ⅜" Classic Weave Ribbon</a></b> under my focal image. The little pieces on the focal image were hand cut from one of the sheets of paper in the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144155&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Coffee Break DSP pack</a></b>.<br />
<br />
I stamped the oval image from <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145331&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Coffee Café</a></b> and cut it out using the coordinating dies and my Big Shot.<br />
<br />
And then I just threw rhinestones around like candy!<br />
<br />
Take a look at the inside:<br />

Over the years, Stampin' UP! has donated over $1.5 million in support of Ronald McDonald Houses. How cool is that??<br />
<br />
I used the set to create the card for this week's Paper Craft Crew sketch:<br />

I started off with a base of Lemon-Lime Twist and added a layer of Tranquil Tide (because that Lemon-Lime Twist is some kind of bright! LOL!).<br />

<br />
This week over at the Paper Craft Crew we were given a colour scheme:<br />

<br />
We don't do much Halloween around here (our children are older), so I was struggling to find something to stamp that wasn't Halloween-y - enter the Merry Café Stamp Set!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started off with a base of Thick Whisper White Cardstock and added layers of Lemon-Lime Twist and Fresh Fig. Then I stamped the images from Merry Café and Coffee Café, cut them out (some with the Big Shot and some by hand) and attached them all to the front of the card.<br />

I had to get creative so the cards for my Boot Camp class wouldn't be all be white!<br />
<br />
Here's what I did:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDfeNSuus0tV21m3qZUBL1Oj9SzFOJJ04ZObrKPTj83XLOtlTSpCbM2oo34TCjKJF08MoqdeYSE9n7rRacmsfJJ93OSrZS3poTHUfVNtlIa__ogZmgusd1aDvE2F4TSi6RhSql1LiZ_U/s1600/Oct+11+-+PCC+263+-+Warm+Christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDfeNSuus0tV21m3qZUBL1Oj9SzFOJJ04ZObrKPTj83XLOtlTSpCbM2oo34TCjKJF08MoqdeYSE9n7rRacmsfJJ93OSrZS3poTHUfVNtlIa__ogZmgusd1aDvE2F4TSi6RhSql1LiZ_U/s320/Oct+11+-+PCC+263+-+Warm+Christmas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Some of the papers in the Merry Little Christmas DSP pack are just Old Olive and Basic Black, so they work great for use on a Very Vanilla base.<br />
<br />
This is one of the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144236&dbwsdemoid=2051952">note cards</a></b> (they're available in Very Vanilla now!) and I added a layer of Merry Little Christmas DSP. I punched out a circle of Old Olive and stamped the sentiment from <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142043&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Cookie Cutter Christmas</a></b> in Real Red onto Very Vanilla Cardstock.<br />
<br />
The teeny little ornament is from Carols of Christmas and the Real Red Solid Ribbon is just the right finishing touch!<br />
<br />
Here's the sketch we all used this week:<br />

When I created this card last week, it was exactly THREE months to BOXING DAY! That means that in three months from today, it'll already be NEW YEARS!<br />
<br />
Have you started your Christmas Cards yet? That's one bonus of being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator...since I'm planning for classes, I get a jump start on my Christmas Cards each year...and you're just gonna LOVE this year's line up!<br />
<br />
Anyway...this week at the Paper Craft Crew we were tasked with a Tic-Tac-Toe Board:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVLsL_Ph4DHKVnElw3wR3c_ytDiOlD0MbdtM-L3beV5W4_ApYv2GnCeaJCcELWTglDIqiePD-s16yJh4YIJwTgHabvi20M2HS5a8K0jZjPF9A6DuuA8lUvVAPgC19Nf0VmzmgZdQL9j2U/s1600/21369300_10213882337830441_9108892422638710427_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVLsL_Ph4DHKVnElw3wR3c_ytDiOlD0MbdtM-L3beV5W4_ApYv2GnCeaJCcELWTglDIqiePD-s16yJh4YIJwTgHabvi20M2HS5a8K0jZjPF9A6DuuA8lUvVAPgC19Nf0VmzmgZdQL9j2U/s320/21369300_10213882337830441_9108892422638710427_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And just to change it up a bit, I actually used a whole row...you know...instead of jumping around all over the place - LOL!<br />
<br />
I chose the top row: vintage, baker's twine and something new. Now, I realize that the two stamp sets I used aren't exactly *new* since they've been available since September 1st (August 1st for Demonstrators), but up until last week, I'd been so busy that they hadn't even seen ink! I know! CRAZY!!<br />
<br />
Here's the card I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7kv8ldNyY1YXq6RhEsVGPZ1_1iE7R1ydHjUESjhok4iGmbZqw7HmLomdg-hcBonh3qj4w7IhSn8yKTOafujahb1speFZdOVBEfSKMfFz8DidvyNC3R1vaLTr5cODnetTu1Eg49gd5eY/s1600/Oct+4+-+PCC262+-+Merry+Christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7kv8ldNyY1YXq6RhEsVGPZ1_1iE7R1ydHjUESjhok4iGmbZqw7HmLomdg-hcBonh3qj4w7IhSn8yKTOafujahb1speFZdOVBEfSKMfFz8DidvyNC3R1vaLTr5cODnetTu1Eg49gd5eY/s320/Oct+4+-+PCC262+-+Merry+Christmas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I actually started off with the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144623&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper</a></b> as my jumping off point this time and went from there. I've always thought of sheet music as "vintage" (maybe because I'm getting old and took piano lessons as a child? Who knows!), but the sheets in this DSP package are white and white is NOT vintage (IMO). So...since I had some Soft Suede Ink on the table, I went to town with my sponge...then I went nuts with my scissors distressing the edges of the DSP and even tore a piece off - GASP! I just LOVE the way it turned out!<br />
<br />
I stamped the tree from <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=146056&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Ready for Christmas</a></b> in Always Artichoke and cut that out using the accompanying dies and my Big Shot. And that got some ink around the edges too.<br />
<br />
Then I cut out a strip of Very Vanilla Cardstock for my sentiment. And that got some ink around the edges too. :) Do you see a theme here??<br />
<br />
I attached the DSP to the Soft Suede Cardstock and wrapped my Very Vanilla Bakers Twine around it before attaching it to my Always Artichoke base.<br />
<br />

At least I think it's a little more girly with the addition of pink. :) I just LOVE the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145372&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Stitched Shapes Framelits</a></b> and use them every chance I get!<br />

<br />
I started off with a base of Soft Sky and added a layer of Whisper White. Then I added a strip of DSP and a little piece ribbon. I didn't want to add just the button, so I punched a ¾" circle of Whisper White and attached the button (retired, sorry!) to that.<br />
<br />
I stamped the "hello baby" from Teeny Tiny Wishes onto a piece of DSP an attached it much like I did last week.<br />

How could you NOT? It's just so darn cute! My favourite image is the elephant.<br />
<br />
The set is on its way to me (it should be here today) so I was happy to borrow Lindsay's at our Canadian Blossoms Team Meeting last month. We created a couple of cards as a team and I had a whole bunch of leftovers to create even MORE.<br />
<br />
You can purchase this set as a BUNDLE and save 10% on your purchase. If you earned coupon codes in July, you can use them on this bundle. Don't forget that your coupon codes MUST be used in August!<br />

<br />
For today's card, I started off with a base of Pear Pizzazz and added a layer of Whisper White. A tiny strip of the Coffee Break DSP off to the left was just the perfect touch!<br />
<br />
I added a length of <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144160&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Soft Sky ⅜" Classic Weave Ribbon</a></b> and a little strip of DSP which was torn to resemble a little strip of Washi Tape. I added a little button (retired, sorry!) tied with Linen Thread for a little something "extra" and finally stamped on some more DSP using the "hello baby" sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.<br />
<br />
Next week, I'll have a more "girly" version for you.<br />

<br />
The other day, my daughter sent me one of those little quizzes that are all over the internet. It said if I had done/could check off 22/30 I had a VENTI sized Starbucks problem.<br />
<br />
Well....I think I have a TRENTA sized Starbucks problem because I got 27/30!<br />
<br />
I'm on my fourth week working at Starbucks and I totally love it! I even bought some Cold Brew Packets so I could brew my own at home - that stuff is FREAKING AWESOME!!<br />
<br />
Anyway....all that to say, this week our challenge at the Paper Craft Crew was a colour challenge!<br />
<br />
We had to choose three of these four colours:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As usual...I took some liberties. *grin*<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm calling the Designer Series Paper "Turquoise" and the Bermuda Bay is my "Teal". That works, right? *wink* The lime green is pretty obvious in the Lemon Lime Twist.<br />
<br />
I started off this card with the little coffee cups that I stamped and cut out a few weeks ago. Then I stamped the image in it using Bermuda Bay. I love having coffee with my friends! And my co-workers too...we have so much fun together. :)<br />
<br />
What do you think of that Ombré Ribbon? I love it! And I'm SO happy it comes in <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/SearchResults.aspx?dbwsdemoid=2051952">THREE colours</a></b>!<br />

<br />
It's Christmas in July...but also all the back-to-school stuff is starting to show up - LOL!<br />
<br />
I love summer, don't get me wrong...but I LOVE routine even more and CRAVE back-to-school time when everything runs "tickety-boo" and everyone has a place to be at a certain time of day.<br />
<br />
Anyway...today's card has NOTHING to do with back-to-school, but EVERYTHING to do with my "Christmas in July" class on July 29th.<br />
<br />
Here's just one of the cards we'll be creating:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you're coming to class, you'll be THRILLED to know that I have ALREADY fussy-cut all the little reindeer. :)<br />
<br />
I started off with a base of Soft Suede and added a layer of Whisper White. To that, I added a small square of Be Merry Designer Series Paper (new in the 2017-2018 annual catalogue) and a smaller square of Whisper White Cardstock. I added the little reindeer and the sentiment from the Merry Mistletoe set.<br />
<br />
The tree off to the left is from the same set and it was stamped onto more Whisper White Cardstock and cut out using the Big Shot and the smallest of the circles in the Stitched Shapes Framelits set.<br />
<br />
The finishing touch was a little bit of linen thread tied into a bow...because who doesn't love linen thread??<br />

Raise your hand! I know you've done it too. :)<br />
<br />
While I haven't had the stamp set I used today "forever", it is definitely new (available in the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue) and I have had it for about 2 months.<br />
<br />
Check it out:<br />

<br />
Super cute, right? I used the sentiment from <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145305&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Label Me Pretty</a></b> and stamped it in Bermuda Bay unto Whisper White Cardstock and punched it out using the coordinating punch which is part of the bundle.<br />
<br />
I had grand illusions of baking some cookies that I could then package up and attach the tag to, but I recently started a new job at Starbucks (I LOVE IT!!) and time has gotten away from me!<br />
<br />
After I stamped and punched the sentiment, I cut out the tag and added the layer of Bermuda Bay Cardstock which I stamped using images from Touches of Texture. I then added a length of <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144160&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Soft Sky Classic Weave Ribbon</a></b> and attached the sentiment on top using Stampin' Dimensionals.<br />
<br />
I added some <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144183&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Bermuda Bay Stitched Satin Ribbon</a></b> and tied it up with my FAVOURITE linen thread for the finishing touch.<br />

<br />
My base is Soft Sky and I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock unto which I stamped the cupcake base. Before I attached the Whisper White layer, I took my <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=134363&dbwsdemoid=2051952">1/16" hole punch</a></b> and punched two tiny holes on each side of the cupcake base through which I threaded my Whisper White Baker's Twine.<br />
<br />
I stamped the frosting in Soft Sky and added some Wink of Stella for a little bit of sparkle.<br />
<br />
I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede and added a tiny rhinestone for the finishing touch.<br />

I was working at Georgetown Yarn. And it was LOTS of fun! But I needed a few more hours, so I had to start a search and you'll never GUESS where I'll be working in a couple of weeks! I can't WAIT!<br />
<br />
Maybe my card will give you a hint?<br />

<br />
I started off with a base of Pear Pizzazz and added a layer of Whisper White Cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼". My next layer was a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Coffee Break pack.<br />
<br />
Next up was some die-cutting using the largest of the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145372&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Stitched Shapes</a></b> circles and the larger of the scalloped circles in the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141705&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Layering Circles Set</a></b>. I stamped the sentiment from the Coffee Café set using Soft Suede onto the Whisper White circle and added the two tiny cups. There's a die in the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143745&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Coffee Cups die set</a></b>, but you all know how much I LOVE fussy-cutting, so I sat down one afternoon and cut out the entire sheet of coffee cups/percolators/cups. It was SO much fun!<br />

And since it's my birthday today, you KNOW I had to create a birthday card! Check this out:<br />
<br />

<br />
I chose the colours as my inspiration and decided to go with Lemon Lime Twist and Tempting Turquoise though I also considered Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point.<br />
<br />
I started off with my base of Tempting Turquoise and added a layer of Lemon Lime Twist Fresh Florals. Then I cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the balloon strings onto it. I stamped the "birthday" from the "Happy Birthday" in Happy Birthday Gorgeous under it.<br />
<br />
I stamped balloons from the Balloon Celebration and Happy Birthday Gorgeous sets and punched them out. They were added the front of the card using both Fast Fuse and Stampin' Dimensionals.<br />
<br />
The "happy" banner was stamped in Tempting Turquoise and Lemon Lime Twist and fussy cut before adding it to the card front also using Stampin' Dimensionals.<br />
<br />
Let me know in the comments below which part of the pillow would inspire YOU and don't forget to check out what the rest of the crew have been up to <b><a href="http://wp.me/p3p2Be-1zB">HERE</a></b>. You're going to LOVE it!<br />

It's been almost 10 years since she started posting and she's decided to focus a bit more on her family these days.<br />
<br />
I haven't participated in ALL of the sketches, but I do really like the ones I've done.<br />
<br />
Here's my interpretation of the very last Mojo Monday Sketch:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOB37DDsZuW14l1HLufRD-ZlxbC8eXY3SoKsEmyXXeiautSV5yItYYhoelYuJ7sQ1kIS66R5teHAwY-uINIfvfTrwi-uVX9jXWyxQLBrVsv2mf4Sx4giDKTdgz9Sj-teuXWG6Jvm-HW4/s1600/June+12+-+Mojo+Full+Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="829" data-original-width="650" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOB37DDsZuW14l1HLufRD-ZlxbC8eXY3SoKsEmyXXeiautSV5yItYYhoelYuJ7sQ1kIS66R5teHAwY-uINIfvfTrwi-uVX9jXWyxQLBrVsv2mf4Sx4giDKTdgz9Sj-teuXWG6Jvm-HW4/s320/June+12+-+Mojo+Full+Card.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<br />
I started off with the ATC onto which I stamped the splatter from <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143251&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Touches of Texture Stamp Set</a></b> using Powder Pink Ink and the small flowers from the same set using Berry Burst Ink (stamped off).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnIZQFLkQj164EJ8XleIjqMNtIEawK3WYqnNH_yI5lpr1ng-1UUx5zTQWR03F8QybrpNNxzNySAsQl-v7BFpx8slqtl8YvTSXPfluP0KhQuTAqmqmsKQznIMF8cja5xCQ5ijgI_SBBCGA/s1600/June+12+-+Mojo+ATC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="594" data-original-width="800" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnIZQFLkQj164EJ8XleIjqMNtIEawK3WYqnNH_yI5lpr1ng-1UUx5zTQWR03F8QybrpNNxzNySAsQl-v7BFpx8slqtl8YvTSXPfluP0KhQuTAqmqmsKQznIMF8cja5xCQ5ijgI_SBBCGA/s320/June+12+-+Mojo+ATC.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next up I stamped the pot of paintbrushes from the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143955&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Crafting Forever Stamp Set</a></b> using Basic Black Archival Ink and cut it out. No. There is no die for this image (or this set for that matter). Yes. I fussy cut it...and several like it as this ATC was the make and take for my catalogue launch this past Saturday. Everyone loved it! I may or may not be one of those crazy people that enjoys fussy cutting (and by may or may not, I mean I am 100% one of those crazy people! And I'm proud of it too - LOL!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePXdjpwdYWGB5CpyiuskvE7z-flyI_aUOsMFQyyS7rMgZeDPOBRoLqduMDp1JXa1PeXJ8ToOgTdqLy_KadlS6YAsZ0gI-rNPIptDCgPcDKIt4bB7-7x2ZYZ0AYruVR-AaiHlfeFnGf4I/s1600/June+12+-+Mojo+Unpainted+Pot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="651" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePXdjpwdYWGB5CpyiuskvE7z-flyI_aUOsMFQyyS7rMgZeDPOBRoLqduMDp1JXa1PeXJ8ToOgTdqLy_KadlS6YAsZ0gI-rNPIptDCgPcDKIt4bB7-7x2ZYZ0AYruVR-AaiHlfeFnGf4I/s320/June+12+-+Mojo+Unpainted+Pot.jpg" width="294" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I coloured in the stamped pot with my <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141709&dbwsdemoid=2051952">watercolour pencils</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=103954&dbwsdemoid=2051952">aqua painters</a></b>. It was adhered to the ATC using <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=103954&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Stampin' Dimensionals</a></b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhD05xwZi4B4U8XM8mLB1b64uFZAT7Zj-hFFnNrXmaNJbXcDwS7LMocrJpkili2BW3DVEELdi85OL23e5gPmSoecTrAOUNFgY5zuGgmAPVZxUslbKrSzA1_zcjax-MKcsthWtGVstWT0/s1600/June+12+-+Mojo+ATC+Brushes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="603" data-original-width="700" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhD05xwZi4B4U8XM8mLB1b64uFZAT7Zj-hFFnNrXmaNJbXcDwS7LMocrJpkili2BW3DVEELdi85OL23e5gPmSoecTrAOUNFgY5zuGgmAPVZxUslbKrSzA1_zcjax-MKcsthWtGVstWT0/s320/June+12+-+Mojo+ATC+Brushes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After that, I set about sorting out the card base and decided I'd use ALL of the new <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144247&dbwsdemoid=2051952">In Colours</a></b> for 2017-2019! Because...well...why not!<br />
<br />
As a special treat, I'm going to give you EXACT measurements of each and every element of the card. I'm often asked about providing this information and while I sometimes do, for the number of blog posts I create, this process would become VERY tedious if I had to do it every time (and I'd probably stop creating). I'll try and do it a little more often for you though.<br />
<br />
So, here you go (from the card base up):<br />
<ul>
<li>Lemon-Lime Twist Card Base - 5 ½" x 8 ½", scored at 4 ¼"</li>
<li>Whisper White Cardstock - 4" x 5 ¼"</li>
<li>Lemon-Lime Twist Designer Series Paper - 3 ⅞" x 3 ½"</li>
<li>Powder Pink Cardstock - 3 ⅞" x 1 ½"</li>
<li>Lemon Lime Finely Woven Ribbon - 5" long</li>
<li>Tranquil Tide Cardstock - 4 ½" x 7/16"</li>
<li>Berry Burst Cardstock - 3 ¾" x ⅝"</li>
<li>Fresh Fig Cardstock - 2 ½" x 3 ½"</li>
<li>Whisper White Cardstock - 2 ¼" x 3 ¼"</li>
<li>Berry Burst Finely Woven Ribbon - 4" long</li>
<li>Whisper White Baker's Twine - about 6-8" long (enough to tie your bow)</li>
<li>Stamp Sets:</li>
<ul>
<li>Touches of Texture</li>
<li>Crafting Forever</li>
</ul>
<li>Ink:</li>
<ul>
<li>Powder Pink</li>
<li>Berry Burst (stamped off)</li>
<li>Basic Black Archival</li>
</ul>
<li>Accessories:</li>
<ul>
<li>Watercolour Pencils</li>
<li>Aqua Painters</li>
<li>Glue Dots</li>
<li>Stampin' Dimensionals</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
So there you go!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Stampin'!</div>

<br />
And I was inspired to use it with our super fun sketch:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxs_Trez5xJoyV9MLq7oMAfHwV3YXdpzeWfHTKPoCSRcy0W07MRencO8YJJ-4g_ArZxGGr30AY5uQG3aCTHZO-durCwBmv_GdGBanQfIJUl1YaFB2vTBFSi-ZyDwiAlEOKmwPi1UN2o0/s1600/18320675_10212684306760413_3594887819779440717_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1237" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxs_Trez5xJoyV9MLq7oMAfHwV3YXdpzeWfHTKPoCSRcy0W07MRencO8YJJ-4g_ArZxGGr30AY5uQG3aCTHZO-durCwBmv_GdGBanQfIJUl1YaFB2vTBFSi-ZyDwiAlEOKmwPi1UN2o0/s320/18320675_10212684306760413_3594887819779440717_o.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
The sketch is so versatile, you could use it with just about any stamp set. Here's what I did:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143251&dbws=2051952">Touches of Texture</a></b> to stamp the background and stamped the brushes in the pot on watercolour paper. I cut the image out and coloured it in using my watercolour pencils and aqua painters and then did the same with the "Made with Love" image.<br />
<br />
They were adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.<br />

Here's what I decided to do:<br />
<br />

<br />
To choose my colours, I pretty much put my hands in a box that's been holding leftovers from my last class and odds and ends from previous creations. It think it worked out! :)<br />
<br />
My base is Pool Party with a layer of Calypso Coral and then a layer of So Saffron. I then added a layer of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.<br />
<br />
I had a little strip of Calypso Coral left over from trimming the larger layer and it was just perfect to tuck under the Daisy. I added a length of Night of Navy Bakers Twine for a little bit of contrast.<br />

<br />
I stamped and punched two daisies in So Saffron and attached them with a Stampin' Dimensional. Then I stamped the Congratulations sentiment from Happy Birthday Gorgeous and then punched it out using the <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141491&dbwsdemoid=2051952">Classic Label Punch</a></b>. I trimmed the punched sentiment and tucked it under the Gold Faceted Gem.<br />
<br />
I am in LOVE with the brand new Daisy set! And it seems SO many of our demonstrators are also in love with it! Sadly, this bundle WON'T be available to order on June 1st, as it was SO popular with our demonstrators that we went through MORE than a usual years supply in the first two weeks of our pre-order.<br />
<br />
On the up shot, by the time you can order YOUR Daisy Bundle, there'll be SO many ideas on Pinterest that you'll be able to create for MONTHS with everything you've seen.<br />
