CIU 265 - Coffee

 Hello Friday, it’s  coffee time let the weekend begin!  Today’s card share was put together for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme is coffee and the challenge sponsor is STAMPlorations.

So much going on, its getting harder to find time to relax and play. I recently started drinking coffee, not a good thing!  The coffee cup is a digital image from the sponsor and the sketch inspiration came from one of the OWH sketches.  The papers are from the My Mind's Eye On the Bright Side 6x6 paper pad, the sentiment is from a CTMH set, finished the card by adding a few gems.  I had mixed feelings about the end result but I needed to get it done, may need to use a different paper for the alcohol markers.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more coffee inspired projects, create and share your own project.  You have a chance to win some crafty goodness from STAMPlorations,  the challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at noon EST. 

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend! Take care and hurry back soon.

Hello and happy cool chilly Tuesday, today's card share is another signature clean and simple card inspired by this month's card sketch over at Stick it Down.  I am trying to finish using some of my 6x6 paper pads so that I can try to use some of my scraps before tossing them.  I used papers from one of the Ki Memories pads, a dot embossing folder, some dies, a sticker for the sentiment and some enamel dot. This card is going postal later today so it won't be sitting around long!
