Thanks My Friend!!

Happy Sunday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!! I have a card to enter into a few challenges today. I'm so behind on entering challenges, especially ones my friends host, and I apologize. I'm having trouble finding time to get to my craft room this summer :(

The paper is from My Mind's Eye The Blink of an Eye stack, and all of the edges are inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used a corner round punch to shape the orange background paper.

I love these Spellbinder Banner Basics 3 dies...so many possibilities!! I popped the top layer up with foam tape for dimension. I used a circle punch to punch out the flowers and added gems to the centers and along the top of the banner.

The bigger label is a Spellbinders Labels Twenty One. The smaller label is a Spellbinders Labels 20, stamped with a JustRite Fleur De Lis stamp in Tangerine Memento Ink. "Thanks My Friend" is from K Andrew Designs Sew Fun stamp set:

Jessica's Craft Shaque 400 Follower Challenge!!

Happy Thursday, everyone!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! The weekend is almost here...yay!! I have a card today to enter into my dear blend Jessica of Jessica's Craft Shaque's 400 Follower Challenge!! She has a couple of different ways to win some amazing prizes!! One is to create a project inspired by one of her projects. This is so not easy!! I chose a project of hers to recreate for the Blends Join Hands Blog Hop in January (see the post HERE) and it took me forever to pick which one to copy...she has so many amazing projects!! For this Challenge, I narrowed it down to three and then decided on one because it would let me use a set of K Andrew Designs stamps that I haven't used yet (gasp!!) :)

Here is my recreated project:

And here is Jessica's gorgeous card that I hope I did justice:

You can see Jessica's original post HERE!!

For my card, I started with a Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Scalloped Rectangles base. I adhered a Grand Nestabilities Rectangle on top, embossed with a 5x7 Cuttlebug Embossing Folder that I have no idea what the name is...I've said this before, but why, why don't they print the names on there?? The red background is a Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 10, and I used Core'dinations Gemstones paper. The adorable coffee cup is from K Andrew Designs Coffee & Tea Time stamp set. I've actually never used this set yet...I'm not a coffee drinker so I never think to make coffee-themed cards. I used Kraft paper to wrap around it to look like a coffee cozy :) "Hot" is from Kristal's Coffee & Tea Tag-Along set.

The flowers are a mixture of Spellbinders dies, Flower Shoppe cuts and fabric flowers from my stash. "Love Ya a Latte" is from K Andrew Designs Coffee & Tea for You & Me stamp set.

I am just getting this in under Jessica's deadline. The challenge ends tomorrow so I hope you will join in on the fun!! Click HERE to go to Jessica's blog! There are some fabulous prizes up for grabs!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the monthly Getting Cricky Blog Hop!! Hope to see you there :)
