I hate you ... the Fine Print

Greetings! Today's card uses a very cute set from
 Lil' Inker Designs called The Fine Print.
I used my die cut set from Mama Elephant and stamped the words on the tag. I used the eyeglasses stamp for my background. I used Versamark ink for the background.


Papers are from Stamping' Up. 
Kind of a cute way to tell someone how much
 you care about them!

With Sympathy

Hello! Today I am sharing a sympathy card I made for a friend. 
This card uses some new paper I got from Lil Inkers -
 Dyed Ombre Chevron paper. So pretty! 


I used the Border Builders Die set from Lil Inkers for the top of card. I cut the cloud border out three times from the ombre paper, and layered them on the top of the card.
I had some Stamping' Up paper that matched perfectly!

Then word stamp is from PrintWorks. 
I also used the stitched mats dies from Lil' Inkers.
 I added three rhinestones to the left edge of the card.

Thanks for visiting today!
Stop by again!

Ode to Caribou Coffee - featuring Lil Inker Designs

Hello there! I am back with a cute card I made with my newest die set from Lil Inker Designs! They updated their Coffee Cozy Die set and I just had to add it to my collection! 

I love my Caribou Coffee!
Here is my card:


I am all about anything that has stitching on it! When I saw Lil Inkers updated this set with stitching on the cozy, score lines on the lid (that adds such dimension!) and also the adorable steam,
I had to have this set! 

I took a real Caribou coffee cozy and used the die cut to cut out the Caribou logo. The large heart is a Memory Box die, the small hearts and the stitched mats are Lil Inkers. 
Paper is from Stampin' up.
Words are from Lil Inker Designs Coffee talk stamp set.

Life is short - stay awake for it!
Thank for visiting today!
See you next time!

Unity Stamps Weekly Challenge card

Hello! Today I am sharing a card I made for the 
weekly challenge with Unity stamps! 

The challenge this week was to take inspiration
 from this photo:


I took my inspiration from the color theme. 
Here is my card:


The stamp is a Unity Stamp of the week stamp called Travel wagon. I used colored pencils to color the image after stamping the image in black versafine ink. The cord is from Stamping' Up.

Thanks for stopping by today! I'd love it if you left a comment for me! See you soon!
