Happiness ♥ Coffee ♥ Friend ~ HSS281, MTS211

Hello stampers!  We've got a new inspiration challenge for you at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This one is all about hearts.  I don't really have any good Valentines stamps...none that inspired me anyway....so I chose to use the colors in the upper left hand picture.  I went with my Coffee Cafe set and used Match the Sketch Challenge #211.  

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Coffee Cafe, Distressed Dots

Ink: Real Red, Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Versa Mark

Paper: White, Real Red, Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake

Accessories: Linen Thread, White EP, Circle Thinlits

Bright Merry Cafe ~ CCMC488, Merry Monday269

Hello friends!  It's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge time again!  Sketch week has rolled around and here's our sketch....

I've never been a fan of repeated patterns so I tried to come up with something that went together and had three different sizes.  I was first going to go with the Jar of Love set and then I spied the Coffee set.  I thought that I could do something fun with this!  It fit in with the color challenge from Merry Monday where we could choose any three colors to use in a Christmas card.  I chose Melon Mambo, Real Red, and Wild Wasabi.  

I'm interested to see what everyone else does with this sketch!  It was kind of a hard one for me!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Coffee Cup of Cheer ~ CCMC484, ATSM268

Hey there!  Today starts another Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge! 

I just placed a big order and finally got my hand on the Merry Cafe and Coffee Cafe sets, as well as the matching dies.  Honestly, I don't know what took me so long to order these!  So, they just showed up in the mail and I was eager to play with them!  I think they go so well with this festive Christmas Quilt DSP.  This DSP is chock full of fun, fun patterns!

I love all the little details that come with the Coffee Cups Framelits.  That little heart stopper is just the cutest!!!  I love the texture on the coffee sleeve as well.  It's just so fun!  I added in a punched holly from the Holly Berry Builder as well.  I like the added sparkle from the Red Glimmer paper.  

I'm also adding my card over at Addicted to Stamps and More #268...keyword Holiday. 

I hope you'll play along with us at Create with Connie and Mary.  Just hop over to the CCMC facebook page to enter your card!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
