One Sip At A Time

Hello! Thanks for stopping by today! I am taking advantage of a rainy yucky day to get some stamping done! The card I am showing today, I made for a friend who recently broke her wrist in a fall! She is going to be off work for a couple of weeks, so I thought I would try and cheer her up with a card!
I found a nice sketch on the Taylored Expressions blog and got started!



The papers are from Basic Grey's Sweet Threads line. I used the coffee cozy stamp and die set from Lil' Inkers Designs.
The border punch is from stampin' up.
Mmmmm makes me think I should make a trip to Caribou coffee!
Thanks for dropping by today! Hope to see you back here soon!
