Coffee and Friendship

I have this friend at work who is constantly there for me at all times. When I'm feeling down, I know I can easily go to her and vent. When I'm happy I know she's the first person I can share my happy news with. And because of that, she's the only reason I look forward to seeing at work. Whenever I pull up at the parking lot and see her car, I know the day is just going to be fine.
I have had a rough week at work, and her being a good friend, she listened and offered me one of the most reassuring hugs ever. I thought I'd make her this card, to say thank you, and how I truly appreciate her presence and friendship.

I used Close to My Heart Paper Fundaments as the background for this card. I stamped coffee beans as the decorative border. We both love coffee, and just have to have it when we come in the morning.
I used Cup of Cheer for this cute border look, and  MFT's Perk Up stamp set for the coffee image and sentiment. I love how it perfectly describes my sentiments.

Here's the image of the products I used.

Hi Everyone! I'm sharing some cards today but they're not really 4th of July themed. My hand's just starting to get better, and I don't want to take advantage of it yet by coloring too much, so here are some cards I've made before.

These cards were made using Close to My Heart's Friendly Pets stamp set. I colored these cute adorable pets with Copic markers, and liquid glossed the heart balloons. Background papers used were retired paper packs from Close to My Heart too.

This is what the stamp set looks like, and you can click here if you wish to purchase it.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy and have a great 4th of July weekend!

Coffee? Tea?

I was going through my stack of cards and realized I've also done this as part of the Treats of Friendship stamp set. Thought I'd share with you what I made using the same stamp set I made the donuts card from.

Simple cards but I love coffee and tea stamp sets, and probably have 1 of every kind from all the major stamp makers out there. Anyways, for the tea card, I used gold shimmer trim and lagoon hearts washi tape to embellish, and I colored the cup of tea using Copics. The latte card is much simpler, I used Basics Paper Fundamentals for my background paper. I love the shiny/glossy side of these paper fundamentals! The designs are so pretty!

Here's the stamp set I used again.

Friends Fur-Ever

This is a sad week for me, since my very good friend is leaving and moving away. I know we will always be friends for life, but not being able to see her anytime, and have our weekly lunches, it's something that I will terribly miss. She is a dog lover, and volunteers at the Guide Dogs for the Blind. I think she will like this card a lot.

I used Close to My Heart Friendly Pets stamp set. This stamp set actually contains cute animal images. I did other cards with it too, but will post that some other time. I used Copics to color the dog and heart balloon in, and added glossy accent to the balloon. I used Cocoa pigment ink on vellum to stamp the sentiment.  I used the MFT Stitched Rectangle STAX to frame the main image.

Hope you all like it!

Donuts Donuts!

I've seen a lot of stamps out there that has coffee, tea, and candies and cupcakes, but seldom have I seen one with donuts. I can't even remember when was the last time I had donuts. Growing up we had a Dunkin Donuts nearby and I remember coming home from school and having them as snacks. I especially love the ones with chocolate and nuts covered on top, and the ones that are filled jelly, with strawberry and grape as my favorites.
But now that I'm older, donuts are a big no no, what with diet and all. So I'm venting my cravings on to this card, and whilst coloring I'm trying to suppress my cravings. Ironic huh?
Anyways, one of my closest friends at work is leaving, and this Friday will be her last day. She's been the one and only true friend at work I trust, and our friendship has spanned over a decade. She's also the last person I consider a friend left at work. And with her leaving, I really don't know what I'd do. I will miss her terribly.

I used the Treats of Friendship stamp set from Close to My Heart, Lagoon paper as background and Smoothie Striped washi tape on both sides as background borders. I colored in the donuts with our ShinHan markers.

Enjoy!

Friendship Blessings

I'm terribly missing a good friend of mine. She was a co-worker of mine who retired last year and moved to another state. Lately we haven't been in touch, so I thought I'd make a card for her to give her a nudge and say hi.

I used some scraps I have from my Lollydoodle Cardmaking WOTG, and retired stamp D1191 Friendship Blessings. I used Chocolate, Cocoa, Lagoon inks to stamp the flowers and sentiment, and to accessorize, I used Teal shimmer trim. I love CTMH's shimmer trim. I am not a big glitter fan so these shimmer tapes are just the right ones for me, not too blingy, yet the sparkle is still there.
