Happy Mail Monday!

It's Happy Mail Monday!  I love sharing with you the beautiful cards I receive each week.  I cannot tell you how blessed I feel to open my mailbox and see these hand made cards.  I love reading each one.  Thanks for stopping by today :)

I have another special card that I want to share with you.  This is the very first card I ever made.  It was at a Stampin' Up! club and I was super intimidated to be making a card, much less one this detailed.  None the less, I think it turned out okay and I cannot tell you how thankful I am that I found this wonderful hobby.  I truly am grateful to be able to share the joy of stamping with all of you.

Number of Years & Counting...

I had a special card request for someone who was turning 95!!!  This is a rare occasion, so I made a special card just for them :)  I pulled out the Number of Years stamp set and Large Numbers Framelits.  The colors are Tranquil Tide, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso.

Coffee Cafe' for #GDP096

Today I am playing along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP096.  This week we are CASEing a gorgeous project by Tanja Kolar, an oh-so-talented member of the Global Design Team. Here is the project this week that you can CASE:

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit Remember that when you CASE a project you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set - the colors, the layout, the flowers, whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own. To play along, head over to the Global Design Project and see what the design team came up with this week. 

Crumb Cake

Whisper White

Soft Sky

I chose to case the layout of Tanya's card using the Coffee Café stamp set and coordinating Coffee Cups Framelits.  This was one of my absolute favorite items in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog!!!   I love how the coffee cups in the Coffee Break DS Paper cut out perfectly using the framelits dies.

This embossing folder in the background was a gift I received from someone who happens to know how much I love all things coffee.  It turned out so cute as the white on white background of this card.  It definitely makes me want to make a Starbucks run :)



Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products I used for this card.

Carols of Christmas for #tttc006

Today I played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  Make sure to head over and play along!  For this challenge, the board was created by Design Team Member Shannon Fralish.  Take some inspiration from the challenge board below, using three elements in a row of your choice. Whatever row inspires you is what you are challenged you to create! 

I chose the diagonal line across the board using the shadow, fuzzy, and wood grain trio.  The background edge was die cut in Smoky Slate using the new Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies that are on a special pre-order for demonstrators only in July, but will be available for everyone to pre-order on August 1. 

The background die cut shadows over the Bermuda Bay card stock base.  I stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay onto a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Wood Textures paper stack and then I embossed this piece with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.

Whisper White

Smoky Slate

I used the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies for the background trees that were cut out using the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  The trees look like they are covered in snow this way.  Then I added a few Pool Party Sequins from the Iridescent Sequin Assortment along with two Enamel Shape stars to the background border.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!
