Warm Wishes!

Hi My Stamping Friends!

This month the Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge is "Anything Goes", so I have put together

this Christmas card.

I love kraft card stock, so I started with that as my base card and then layered this cute snowflake paper on top which for some reason reminds me of Christmas cookies.  I wanted to use stamps from the new coffee set, Coffee Faces, so I chose the coffee pot and the cup.  Since I wanted this to be a Christmas card, I used the small holly stamp from the Dear Santa set which fit just perfectly on the front of the cup.  I masked the cup before stamping the coffee pot so that it could be positioned  behind the cup, and then I colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers.  There is a little sparkle on the holly from Wink of Stella.  I found the perfect greeting to use from the Sip Enjoy Relax set.  I trimmed the edges of the stamped piece with decorative scissors and sponged on some ink.  Using some foam dots, I popped up the stamped piece for a little dimension.

Inside, a simple, but heartfelt sentiment also from the Dear Santa set...

I hope you will join us in this month's challenge, you can find all of the details here.

There will be a random drawing from the entries with the winner receiving a $15.00 gift certificate to the Pretty Cute Stamps Store!

The stamp sets that I used for this project are all shown below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Holidays, and

Happy Stamping!

Quick Gift Idea

Hi My Stamping Friends!

Do you need an idea for a quick and easy gift??  Here you go!

You can make several of these up in nothing flat!

I used the Sip Enjoy Relax set from Pretty Cute Stamps to make this cute note pad cover.

I found this idea on Pinterest, and you can find the instructions/template here.

I started with the red card stock base and then layered the fun backgound paper from my stash.

I paper pieced the mug of cocoa using the same red card stock for the mug.  I added some Wink of Stella to the whipped cream for some shimmer and some Stickles to the "steam".  I  put a punched out circle of white card stock behind the cup of cocoa and then popped up the cup with foam dots.  The cute twine and bow are die cut using a set from Pretty Pink Posh.

Now for the fun of this note pad cover.....

It stands up!  Wouldn't this be cute sitting on a desk or by your phone?

In the hustle and bustle of this time of year, take some time to Sip Enjoy Relax!

Happy Stamping!
