YOU’RE THE BEST


Here is a bonus card I created for release night with a similar concept to those shared above.

I have another card to share using one of the new stamp sets from the release. This was not included in the video but I still wanted to share it here.
This card features the Cup of Love stamp set.

I stamped the image in copic friendly ink and colored the saucer, cup and spoon with copic markers. I didn’t have the coordinating dies so I just fussy cut them for I could pop them up later with foam squares.
For the inside of the cup, I stamped the image in Pizza Crust ink from Lawn Fawn. Then went around the edges of the image with Crunchy Leaf and stamped it again. That way the edges of my coffee were darker then the middle.
How do you take your coffee? Mine is a little coffee with a lot of creamer lol.

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration! I have an exclusive gift for you!

Hi, Mindy –
Kudos for showing how to get a lot of mileage out of one stamp! Not the first time, I know… but always appreciated!
Please do not apologize for “jumping around.” Your process is your process. You do you.
Love all of these cards. You’re just phenomenal. If we had an Olympics of papercrafting, you’d be a medalist for sure!
