Hello & Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!

I’m back as Guest Designer for

Dare 2B Artzy during the month of January!

I’m just so Excited to be their Guest Designer

and I’m totally Lovin this Super CUTE

Cup of Cheer Stamp Set

Check out what I created with it this week —

I started out by stamping the Cup & Topping images on some

Water Color paper, using my Misti Tool & some Versafine Onyx Black ink

Then I pulled out My Zig Real Brush Pens to

color up my images – I also Pulled out my

White & Clear Wink of Stella Pens to color the

Topping images – I thought they should sparkle!

Once I got the mugs colored I thought it was time to

pick some matching Papers & Dies —

I pulled out some Doodlebug Paper and a piece of Vellum

Then I added a couple of Rectangle Stitched dies & a Doily die

I decided I wanted to use a stencil & make my own background –

So I pulled this adhesive back dotted swirl stencil from my stash and

grabbed some Distress Inks to match up with my mugs —

I did some masking off since I didn’t want the colors

all over my white cardstock piece —

Here’s a close up so you can see how I mixed the colors

together with the swirls – I tried to use different shades

of purples, blues, & grey… After I was done I

used a stitch die to cut out my cardstock –

the final size is 3 1/4 x 4 1/2

This is my card completed – I Cut the Vellum with the Doily Die

because I wanted the swirls in the background to stand out —

It adds just enough to also make the mug Pop!

I cut a strip of grey Designer Paper and Stamped the sentiment

with Versamark ink then Heat Embossed it with some

Fine White Embossing powder – then I cut the ends

to give it that banner look – I also POPPED up my

Yummy Topping for just a little extra dimension –

I had SOOOO MUCH Fun Making this card!

I can’t wait to mail it off to one of my Crafty Friends!

Thanks for stopping by today!
