Hi! I’m here with a quick post for STAMPlorations’ Stencil Sunday.

and a reminder for the Mixed Media Challenge.

I have a hearty tag to share with you today.

To make this tag, I used the ARTplorations stencil Hearts All Over, embossing pastes, inks, a CUTplorations ‘hugs’ die, glitter paste, ribbon, twine and a button.

I have a fun discount code for you! Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share with you.

Hi! I’m very happy to be with you today with a third post as the January Guest Designer for Coffee Loving Cardmakers! I have an unusual sort of card to share with you today.

I combined 4 of my favorite products, from different companies, and also altered the stamped image of one of my favorite stamps.

hugs-worddie

Here’s my card, using, at least in part, one of my favorite rubber stamps.

This stamp set is one of my first, and favorite, rubber stamp sets. It is Stampin’ Up’s (discontinued) Tea Shoppe.

You can see that I used only the outline of the large cup.

I stamped the design on the cup with this stamp set from Papertrey Ink.

I also used these lovely snowflake dies.

I used the CUTplorations “hugs” word die for the sentiment.

I have a discount code for you! Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share with you.

Here’s a quick slideshow of how I altered and stamped the tea cup.

I really enjoyed making this card and I hope that you’ve been inspired to try combining some of your favorite products from different companies. I loved how the teacup turned out. Please come back next week to see my last 2 cards that I have to share with you this month.

Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace,

Melissa
