Thanks for stopping by today!!

I need to keep this short and sweet! Something that “I” have a hard time doing, but have fallen behind on my TO DO list, and really wanted to share this idea before Halloween comes, and goes!!

I decided it would be AWESOME to use some green cardstock to create a Witch from the To Go! Template, so I did!

This is the result!!

Upon creating my cup, I added some cut and crimped cardstock around the rim for my hair. I covered the hair with a ribbon, for a finished look.

I  punched out my eyes, and added some googley eyes. On he lids I  drew on the “lashes”. I  hand cut my nose, and added some “warts”, using the adhesive pearls. I then doodled my mouth, adding my rosy cheeks with some pastels.

My hat……-I just cut a large circle, with a hole in the center. This allows me to have my frosting bag (filled with Junior Mints) to stick through which makes up my actual hat!

I curved my sentiment from A Spooky Surprise to fit the rim!!

I stamped the web image from A Spooky Surprise, in white StazOn, onto my hat! I love the look, and it was SOOOOOO easy!

I hope you get inspired to try this yourself!

Thanks for letting me share 😀

What a release! Our biggest yet! Not sure I could ever do that much again, but it was a lot of fun. I figured it would be a good time considering the season, and it is the start of prime gift giving season. (My favorite thing to do is MAKE everything)

 There was SO much to share and so little time. My daughter getting hospitalized was my top priority, and it certainly set me back on what I could get done. I have yet to complete all the amazing project ideas I have had using our FABULOUS October Release Products!

Today I thought I’d share some info about a project that is featured on the My Time Made Easy ™ LLC website, for the To Go! template. This is a fabulously fun, and simple “WOW” template. While its primary design is perfect for quick and easy gifting of *any* hot beverage themed gift, is is also designed to perfectly coordinate with the Fancy a Cuppa? template.

My purpose today is to share with you how it can be fabulous, all by its lonesome. This will be he perfect packaging for your hot chocolate (snowman soup), coffee, tea’s, lattes and chai-to name a few! You would even wrap some cute warm socks, mittens or how about a gift card in here too!!

So many possibilities. Our Grab a Cup/& Sentiments, Fancy a Cuppa?/& Add On, as well as our A Spot of Tea set is just the amazing combination of images and sentiments to cover all your hot beverage gifts!

Hot beverages are always a popular, and well received gift. Even if someone doesn’t like the type or flavor, it is an acceptable re-gift!

Let’s Grab a Cup

This template doesn’t take much to make it really wonderful.

My design here is VERY simple, I just relied on my colors for that POP, when in reality this set took under 10 minutes to make! You could mass produce these for everyone this holiday season. Perfect for teacher’s, co-workers, friends, family, and everyone in between!

I love that this cup makes a super simple gift, quick and easy, yet you still get that “WOW! you made this?” look!

One of my favorite things about the Grab a Cup set, is the idea for the coffee cup to be used to create the “U” in the word “CUP”. It fits perfectly on the lid of my cup. My favorite thing about the To Go! template, is the fact that it fits with the 12 oz. lids you can purchase in the store (or recycled), and you can actually cover a 12 oz cup with it instead, should you choose to not make the cup yourself. It isn’t easy creating or covering round items, so this makes it a breeze.

Now for the front of my To Go! Cup

I made my coffee sleeve in black, keeping it super simple! I used the new cups from Fancy a Cuppa? and the Fancy a Cuppa? Add On for my circle sentiment. I was able to cover my K Cups too. Covering them allows you to coordinate every aspect of your gift. It is a simple detail that can make a world of difference.

A ll I did was stamp, and punch with a SU! scallop punch.

I filled the To Go! Cup with 2 K Cups, and some tulle, then was DONE!

Pretty Impressions Stamp Set: Grab a Cup, Fancy a Cuppa? and  Fancy a Cuppa Sentiments

Well thanks again for stopping by. I hope that I have time to complete more of what I have wanted to!!

Stay tuned for more to come.

Today I  have a spooky sweet surprise to share with you all!!

Many of you pre-ordered the A Spooky Surprise set, and now you may want some sweet ideas! I hope you will find some great inspiration from this one today!

Wicked Witch Brew: Boo Kit

Imagine seeing this hanging upon your door this Halloween season?!! This bring a whole new meaning to a SWEET spooky surprise.

I used the NEW! In Suspense template to create a fun Halloween Boo Kit!

The In Suspense template, as well as the coordinating stamps designs: A Secret Surprise, A Spooky Surprise & Thankful, were all designed to be used alone, together, or in coordination with the In Suspense template so that you can easily take the old tradition of “Boo-ing” someone, and leave a special treat upon someones door step ANY time of year! We will be adding seasonal/all occasion kits like this all year long!!

I decided I to not use the window cut out on the front, but rather just used a complete stamped panel. There are so many different design possibilities with this one.

 I thought this witch PEZ dispenser was the perfect treat to put inside my “Wicked Witch Brew”

 Here is the close-up of the  A Secret Surprise poem!

This poem is PERFECT for surprising someone on ANY occasion!!

I love the witch feet most in this set! The stars are a really cute accent to this too. I am honestly NOT a Halloween person, but I have to admit I am smitten with the cute nature of this set, as oppose to creepy/scary/evil like images. It really is then perfect treat set!

I loved the idea of her feet sticking out from my ” Fancy a Cuppa?” cup that I stamped in black, to mimic the look of a fun cauldron!! I added the swirls from Fanciful Flourishes for my hot steam, and sponged on some green “froth”, as well as added green stickles, so my Witch Brew was overflowing! I stamped my sentiment in the cup trim, which was a perfect fit.

The little spider detail was a cute touch I think too!! I LOVE combining sets!

The spider themed ribbon, and cute spooky owl are a great addition to this design!

I just punched some holes in the top for my owl to sit ON my box! There were some wires in his feet, that allowed me to do this 😀

(Sorry about this next photo :C)

Here he is on the door!

Note: If you put the candy on the right side, the weight of the owl balances perfectly to hang correctly!

Don’t forget you can cut off the hanger portion, so you have a cute treat box too!!

How about another sample using the A Spooky Surprise set?

Tricky Treat Tag

I used the tag from Tag you’re it! I used a condiment cup for this design.

My pumpkin was stamped in black StazOn, then I used Art Glitter Glue and glitter to color it from the inside of the cup. I added a cardstock layer to make it POP and keep the candy glitter free.

It holds a few gummy pumpkins, and candy corn!

A super sweet treat for any “treater”.

Tune back in tomorrow.

Welcome to our Group Post today! 

We have all shared many samples over the last week, and today we will all feature samples using the Pinch Me template! 

There is nothing better than a unique style treat box, that is versatile and EASY to assemble! This will be a template you turn to over and over again! Wait until you see all the possibilities.  

Stop by an visit: 

Since you are here, let me shaare the 2 samples I created using the NEW! Pinch Me template. I couldn’t help but make them look like something to suit the fall feeling of the season.  I LOVE the pinched version of this one.

Hand Picked Pumpkin 

Here I used this *SUPER* cute template to create a “pumpkin” that is perfect for any fall themed dinner! I can see this placed at every seat on a holiday table, can’t you?? 

4 1/2 Inches Tall 

2 3/4 Inches Deep 

4 3/4 Inches Wide ( at widest part) 

Note: 2 3/4 Inches Wide (if not pinched out) 

 It can also double as a flap top “bag”! Directions provided with purchase 😀 Talk about VERSATILE!!

Here I scored, and distressed it, to make it realistic, and added some green cardstock to the top flap, for my pumpkin stem. 

I used the pumpkin image from A Spooky Surprise  for my tag, with a sentiment from Just For You! Sentiments reads: Hand Picked Just For You. It was simply perfect! 

Now how about another idea? 

Silly Scarecrow!! Truly adorable and great for boy/girl, young and old! Just a little doodling and this was done.

Isn’t this SO cute???? Fill it with Candy Corn, fudge, maple syrup chocolates, cookies….you name it! You could leave it plain and put the supplies to decorate it inside, for a family fun craft too. It would be great for Girl/Boy Scouts and fro a school activity too!

I made sure I faux stitched all my seams to make it look like a actual scarecrow! What a cute idea for a kids harvest party, don’t you think? 

I just adhered my confetti strips to the inner fold, as seen here, to get this funky and fun look! 

I love the noted flap topper, as you can now stop hoarding all those ribbons and make them a stunning addition to this project! 

I used plaid paper from the Flutter-by collection for my “hat”. I love not having to use a lot of effort to get a real WOW!

Today I wanted to share a little Get Well care package I made using the NEW! Grab a Cup template, with the Grab a Cup & Sentiments set!! With the cold winter months, seems all to often we need such gift items!

Cup O’ Chicken Soup

I wanted to wrap up a special little get well packet, so I packaged up a Chicken Noodle Soup packet from Cup O’ Soup. I love giving a gift packet of that because you can easily mail it!!!

I kept this simple so I could whip up a bunch of these.

My soup packet is simply tied with some ribbon, then has my tag hanging from it.

I used the checkered border builder from Fancy a Cuppa? to create my cup design on the Grab a Cup template. It was SUPER easy! I love having a checkered pattern builder. I just made the Grab a Cup template in white cardstock, and stamped the border in a red ink along the edges, prior to assembly. I left  off the bottom to keep it looking like a bowl of soup. I think its SUPER cute. Sometimes simpler is better.

I also stamped/colored/cut out the spoon from the Fancy a Cuppa? set, and tied it onto my handle.So it looks like you are ready to dig into the soup bowl!

I love the little chicken from the Grab a Cup set. If you didn’t know, he fits perfectly on top of the cup, for “chicken soup”. The soup sentiment is included in Grab a Cup set. I stamped the checkered border on my little cup center, to match my template. The spoon is perfect for him to hold too!!

Now I made a card to match!!!

Cup of Get Well Wishes

I love this card! It is ALL stamping!

I used the same tag idea, and ribbon, as in my template. I utilized the Grab a Cup sentiment set to create my own background paper!! Isn’t it perfection?

The “A Cup Full of Get Well Wishes” was continued in the lower left corner. I love that you have a lot of sentiment combinations with the Grab a Cup Sentiment set!

Thanks for coming back for more ideas and inspiration!

Today I am excited to share a great stamp addition to the Shop Around © Mega Template!

 I’ve stated previously that we plan on continuing to add to this template/stamp combination to maximize the design possibilities! We already have Home Improvement, On Display 1, Sign It, and Window Shoppe, now we have a French “Cafe” like se,t to add to the collection called A Lil’ Cafe.

 Next month we will offer some holiday themed inspiration for  the Shop Around © Mega Template , but this month, with our hot beverage theme we decided to go in the “Cafe” direction.

This set makes an amazing “cafe” and it also makes some great cards/tags too!

This is an adorable set if images that were designed to coordinate with the Shop Around © Mega Template! This set was created for you to be able to create your own little French style Cafe/Bistro/Pasticceria or Flower Shoppe. The scene building possibilities have no limitations!

I used the Custom Construction Materialsfor the roof which is a Suede cardstock,  the Shop Around © Mega Template base is made from Ivory cardstok, and used a River Rock ink.

Here is the “Cafe” window! I loved creating the scene inside the Shoppe.

I used the Shoppe Window set, and stamped the table, chair and coffee cup (on the table) to set the “scene”. The “brick” pattern is part of the A Lil’ Cafe set as well! Makes a really nice random pattern, similar to a realistic cafe! 

There is also 2 sign options, a shutter for the window, flower box, brick patterns, vase, flowers, menu, bottle of wine, wine glass, coffee/tea cup, plate of biscotti, Pastry/Napkin holder/table element.

Images in the set also include: 

 A cafe table: 1 1/4 inches tall

A cafe chair: 1 1/2 inches tall 

French Door: 2 inches tall x 1 inch wide-stamp the two doors together for dual French doors

(handle image also included)

Here is the French Door image-dual stamped, with door handles! On the stairs I used the wood grain from the Home Improvement set.

Set also includes: 2 sign options, shutter for window, flower box, brick patterns, vase, flowers, menu, bottle of wine, wine glass, coffee/tea cup, plate of biscotti, Pastry/Napkin holder/table element.

I used the sign and Cafe sentiment

Around the bottom I also used the grass, and rounded “fence” like image, also from the Home Improvement set. I love the coordination of sets! I added flower Soft randomly to look like flowers/grass.

Window: 3/4 inch wide X 1 1/4 inch tall

Here I stamped 2 of the windows, and used the “flowerbox” in that set as my “curtains”. I stamped the neat lil’ French emblem “on the windows”. I took the actual flower box image from Home Improvement for under my two windows. I added some Flower Soft to it.

Here is the other window I created. I used the bottom swirl from the “sign” image (just masked the window) and I colored it in to look like a curtain/shade!! Super cute, quick and FUN!

Now we have another window……

Here is the Pop Up window, using the rectangle window, and the window box to decorate it.

No matter what combination of elements you choose to use this Lil’ Cafe is sure to be stunning!

This set is super for cards too!! So I thought I’d share a coordinating one with you.

I LOVE the table and chair image, and all the elements you can add to the table!! Its perfect for the template or on its own. You can use *just* the table or chair or stamp two chairs at the table too!

Here I chose to use the coffee cup 😀 and used a combination of sentiments from the Grab a Cup Sentiments for my card sentiment.

I created my own paper pattern using the Fancy a Cuppa set. I stamped the polka dots and daisies for my pattern. Really too fun!  Then I found a similar Prima flower to complete the look!

Well this release is SMOKIN HOT! Literally!

 I’m so happy to see that you ALL love gifting hot beverages as much as I do!

We have MUCH more to share, so be sure you pay a visit to: 

Today I’m so excited to share one of our NEWEST Pretty Pieces Cut Files: Oh-K Dokey 

But before I do that I will share a card using an image from the Grab a Cup stamp set, that suits the “theme” of our gift packaging!

Perk Up!

I love this “coffee maker”, as it is fashioned after my favorite coffee machine. I went with blue and “coffee” for my colors on this, with my ribbon being my starting point!

 I stamped the flower from the Grab a Cup set, onto the cup that is in this image. Then stamped the sentiment from the Grab a Cup Sentiment set, on a lil’ tag.

I stamped my polka dot border from the Fancy a Cuppa? set, the argyle from Argyle Amazement set, and drew in some border lines. I then used the sentiment block from the Grab a Cup set to add to my pattern.

I’m totally LOVING this release, and had so much fun with the variety of images 😀

Oh-K Dokey, let us move along to some more eye candy!

This is a super cute, and quick “wrapper” for a product favorite of mine!! 

I am a HUGE Keurig lover (those of you stumped—>Click Here) and love giving and receiving samplers of the K Cups that are used in theKeurig. 

 The K Cups are simply so cute, and giving a sampler pack-especially for the holidays, is a great gift idea! Since they are *about* 0.19 cents each, giving a set of 4 costs ONLY $0.76 cents!!  

I decorated my Oh-K Dokey wrapper to let the receiver know WHAT I packaged inside–>latte! 

On this sample I used the outline cup from the Fancy a Cuppa? set, and stamped it with my 5 block, with the 5 block of beverage choices, and used the check mark to mark what I wrapped inside. 

I used the Cherry On Top digital paper, so I used the Cherry Blossom image from the Killer Curves set to stamp it to match my paper! 

Then I added my paper flowers, and my beaded bird. 

I love this project! 

It really is a SIMPLE, and thoughtful gift for anyone, since these K Cups come in all sorts of types: Flavored coffee’s, teas, chai, mocha, latte, and cocoa! Now I have created the ultimate wrap for such treatlets! Read on!! 

Oh-K Dokey Pretty Pieces Cut File $ 2.50 

4 X 4 1/4 Inches Wide 

1 3/4 Inches Tall 

 This wrapper is the perfect gift when you want to simply “wrap” and share a little of something that you love!

!chai and latte’s © brand coffee machines. The K cups come in a variety of beverages like coffee, tea, cocoa’s, KeurigThis is an adorable “wrapper” that was designed for wrapping up 4 of those simply sweet K Cups that are sold for use with the

Just take a 2 inch circle, and adhere over your label.  

This will cover your K Cup top!! 

Here I used the Fancy a Cuppa? and the Fancy a Cuppa? Add on set for my K Cup label cover. I stamped the outline circle, and cup in cranberry, then the sentiments in a smokey shadow ink. Once done, just add atop your covered K Cup. 

Complete set of 4:  

Once your K Cups are ready, just place then face down…..and wrap! 

Decorate as desired! 

Not a hot beverage lover? Here is another idea! 

(note you saw peeks of this the other day!) 

This Oh-K Dokey wrapper can also be used with a recycled set of K Cups, a set of 4 Votive candles, tart warmer, Crystal Light 2 oz drink mix cups and even a set of 4 mini flower pots. 

Another FUN idea-when you are done using a K Cup, recycle it! 

Lookie here…. 

Simply  peel off the top, remove the filter (if there is one), wash and dry thoroughly, add adhesive to the edges, and fill with something else that is wonderful!! 

(note the sentiment “Brewed or you” is from the Grab a Cup Sentiments) 

 Here I filled my cup with Gummy Bugs! EW!! 

Use a 2 inch piece of cardstock to cover it, and you have a world of treat ideas! 

In this project I used A Spooky Surprise set, with the Killer Curves Cut File using the polka dot frame from Killer Curves set. 

Isn’t this a simply adorable treatlet cover?! So even if you don’t have Keurig, and you have an “office” or somewhere that people use these, you can recycle them! They may also work with 2 oz condiment cups. 

One simple, inexpensive cut file, so many possibilities.

It is also my husbands birthday today! So Happy Birthday Jay!

You can view ALL our NEW! Release products for October HERE!

Today the entire team and I are sharing some samples using a NEW! Template called In Suspense ©!! Together we will share teh MANY ideas and uses for this great new release.

While the template concept in itself is exciting, there are 3 NEW! Pretty Impression stamp sets to make it even more AMAZING!

Stop by an visit:

The 3 NEW! sets we have that coordinate with the  In Suspense template are: A Secret Surprise, A Spooky Surprise, and our very first Pretty Petite stamp set Thankful!

Now I had fully planned on creating a sample that utilized the A Secret Surprise frame, with the poem, for today’s group post, but obviously my daughter being hospitalized took precedence. I’m certain the team will show you the endless possibilities this template and stamp combination have to offer!

So without further delay…..

This idea of this template is to not only “suspend” it from the door knob of the recipient, but to also put them in “suspense” of what surprise could be hanging on their door! What a wonderful treat to find, no matter what the occasion.

The sentiment on the tag is from So Sentimental, embossed in gold.

As you can see on my sample, I stamped the acorn cluster in the right corner. I masked the cluster so I could stamp the pumpkin images “behind” the cluster. One pumpkin is from the A Spooky Surprise set. I stamped the swirls in a gold ink, and added gold with a glitter pen.

 

On the vellum overlay I embossed the sentiment like on my template window.

Today we are all sharing samples using the Grab a Cup template!! We have 4 hot beverage stamp/sentiment sets this month, and we have 3 other sets that will add to the ideas for gift-giving this Halloween and Fall!  

So let’s get started!! 

Today I am sharing a super cute sample using the Grab a Cup template, with Fancy a Cuppa? stamp set, Grab a Cup and Grab a Cup Sentiments. So let me get sharing! 

Grab a Cup Template $5 

 

You can fill it with a variety of gifts, or use it as the perfect party favor! A great option for place settings too. This could really dress up a table, or make the perfect addition for a “tea” party.

My cup was created using a yellow cardstock. The panels were made from white cardstock, and were stamped with the stunning Daisy border image from Fancy a Cuppa?,which I colored. The white layer was also stamped with the polka dot builder image in the set as well.  I used a scallop nestability for the bottom layer on my cup. Just an additional sweet touch.

My colored were pulled from the herbal tea that I chose to wrap up in a cello bag, which was stamped to match using the single daisy images in the set, using black StazOn, and a sharpie marker was used to color them in.The flower is a cut file from our Flutters & Flowers. I just used an embossing stylus to create the lines in it, then I sponged on some color!

My tag- I used the cup image from the Grab a Cup set, with the steam! I used another small daisy from the Fancy a Cuppa? set. The  sentiment is from the Grab a Cup Sentiment set. That set is a MUST have!!

Now you may be curious as to what the Fancy a Cuppa? set, bu Catherine Doucette is all about!

We really love the focus of “hot beverages” this month. There really are so many great gift ideas where hot beverages are the main focus, and they deserve to be properly gifted and highlighted!! We have the perfect coordination of images and sentiments for such an occasion!! 

There are two- 5 block sentiments that align perfectly with our “check boxes”, that fit on the cup itself or can be used alone.  

The two 5 block sentiments feature sentiments that can easily be used alone or when combined with the check boxes within the set, allow you to “check off” what you are giving the card. tag, or gift for!  

Sentiments Read:  

Block 1:  

Thanks so much  

Have a nice day  

Oh, happy day  

Thinking of you  

Just because  

Block 2:  

Tea  

Coffee  

Latte  

Cocoa  

Soup  

You can also see there are some great additions to the set that will allow you to further decorate your cup, which features a solid cup, or an outlined version of the cup, or create your own borders and backgrounds.

Here I stamped my solid cup onto a regal rose cardstock, in Cranberry Crisp ink. I cut it out, then used the solid rim stamped in white for my design.The cup sentiment (and my “tea tag”) is from Grab a Cup Sentiments was perfect for the inside rim, and tea tag! I also chose to stamp some white polka dots on the cup as well.

I used the daisy image from the Fancy A Cuppa? set to adorn my cup, and I used the various size daisies, with the polka dot pattern to make my own patterned paper!! Some adhesive pearls randomly placed add to the WOW of this simple card.

I made a hanging tag to look like a little tea tag, hanging from my cup. So simply sweet.

The two smaller cup images in the set fit perfectly within the center of the Fancy a Cuppa? Add On circle sentiments. Whatever you fancy in your cup, this set is certain to warm the heart of receiver for whatever you create using it.

Rest, Relax, and Rejuvenate

Hi everyone! 

 Today is Alexa’s 11th Birthday! 

Words cannot say how ever more thankful (than the usual) I am to be celebrating it this year. After our BIG Pediatric ICU scare I know I am ever thankful she is here with us. Alexa ALWAYS teaches me about how important each moment is and how precious LIFE really is. We had quite the emergency and everyone was amazed at how well (and quick) she pulled through. We were given NO guarantees and it was one of the scariest times I’ve had with her to date. THAT says a lot in itself. I was once again reminded of what is truly important in life. 

So I want to wish her a VERY Happy Birthday, with MANY, MANY more to come. I can’t get as emotional as I feel about this because I would just fall apart, so I’m trying to keep it upbeat and happy. I am so thankful to God for all he has done in her life (and my family), and allowing me to celebrate another year with her. I’ve really been able to keep life in perspective and stay grounded to my family. I’ve never ever felt more blessed and in God’s presence! He has truly blessed our family, once again. I cannot begin to list the many blessings we have been given. 

OK moving forward before I get REALLY mommy mushy! LOL!

So let me share some template info first. 

 Fancy a Cuppa? Template $5   

7 3/4 Wide 4 Inches Deep  

This is the unfinished version. Divider insert is optional. 

 This template is quite versatile. It can be used as it was designed, to coordinate with the To Go! template. But, it can also be used to hold a variety of other amazing treats too! The possibilities are truly endless. To Go! cups, or when adhered back to back, it can hold 4 of these To Go! cups.  HOW FUN?! 

Biscotti is 0.25 cents each, and the K Cups are 0.19 cents each. The cost of this gift is $1.76, but was made to seems so much more expensive 😀  

Here is the cup/carrier front close-up.  

My cup decor lets the receiver know just what to expect! I love this sentiment from the Grab a Cup Sentiment set. I love that the cup makes the “u” in the word “cup”. 

 I have to say I LOVE this template combination.  

Here I used the Fancy a Cuppa? (the cup carrier) with the Grab a Cup (the 3 D travel like cup). 

 Yes!! That pink cup is a NEW! Pretty Packaging template called Grab a Cup , designed to fit perfectly within the Fancy a Cuppa? template, or used alone. It even has a warmer wrap to go with it.  

This template makes your very own cup, or can even be used to WRAP/Cover a 12 oz. coffee cup. As I will repeat below. 

I made my template from a regal rose cardstock. Quick & easy. As I said above I used the Grab a Cup Sentiment set for my cup design. I added the steam from th Grab a Cup set. 

This is a (STURDY) 12 oz size cup, all from cardstock, and it fits the 12 oz coffee lids you can purchase!! Read on.  

To Go! Template $5   

This template fits the lids of those 12 oz. To Go! cups that you can purchase at the store, or will want to save from your latest hot beverage purchase! To Go! cup that is perfect on its own, but we stepped it up a notch by having it fit the lids. Fancy a Cuppa © Template! The template can perfectly hold 2 of these To Go! cups, or when adhered back to back, it can hold 4 of these To Go! cups. Grab a Cup ©, Grab a Cup Sentiments ©, Fancy a Cuppa ©, Fancy a Cuppa Add On © , and the A Spot of Tea © stamp sets!    

I cut my “warmer sleeve” using the polka dot patterned paper from the Shutt-erfly collection!   

 Here is a close up view of the pattern that I created using the 2 solid cup images (and cup border stamps) with the sugar jar, coffee beans from the Grab a Cup set, and the little cute coffee pot from the Sign It set!!   

Wait until you see this set. It was such a quick and cute pattern to make!! I did color in some “shadowing”. 

Now for my tag!!  

On this I combined the “A Cup Full Of”, “Thanks”, “Happiness” and “Love” sentiments from the Grab a Cup Sentiment set, with the boxes and check marks from Fancy a Cuppa? set. I used my oval nestabilities for the label, and trimed around the inside of my frame.
