Design Team Thursday!



Welcome to Design Team Thursday!!!

If you have not seen Joy's New Stamp Sets, you may check them out here! When I seen the sentiment "A Whole Latte Love" from You're So Punny Stamps I just knew I had to use it! As some of you may know, I just LOVE COFFEE!! Which brings me to my creation, I chose my coffee cup from Birthday Cakes cartridge and it's cut at 6.33 I used DCWV Nana's Kitchen Matstack, thought it went very well with the sentiment too! I used an EK Success punch, added a heart brad and ribbon to complete my card.

I hope you enjoyed my project and it inspires you to purchase your set of stamps for you and a friend! Oh by the way did I tell you I just LOVE COFFEE?

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Design Team Thursday!





Hi everyone,

My creation today was inspired by "You're Soda-lightful" from Joy's Yummy Puns Stamps. I created this card using the Nifty Fifties and Smiley Cards cartridges. The matting is cut at 5.28 and it's embossed with stars. The Soda is cut at 5.80 and the smile is inserted into the bottle and it's cut at 3.31 using the gypsy. I thought a tall card would be perfect and it measure 4x9 and fits into a standard size envelope. I just love how it turned out!

Don't forget to get your pre-orders in for Joy's Your So Punny and Wild Life Puns Stamps, your gonna love them, pick some up for a friend!!!!

Design Team Thursday!




Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

My card for this week is made using Simply Charmed and Gypsy Wanderings. The Pot of Gold is the perfect theme! My card base is cut at 5.00 and the Pot is cut at 4.33 welded together using the gypsy. I used Recollections and DCWV papers, added ribbon and of course my card wouldn't be complete without Joy's stamps. I used her Yummy Puns Stamps for my sentiment. Wouldn't it be sooo sweet if we could receive a pot of gold like this!
