Yum - Coffee!!! 

Yes, You can say I am a coffee lover. Since, the age of 6 I have been drinking coffee. Some of the best conversations have been with a cup of coffee in my hand. So, this hop is just perfect. 

I created this card using Coffee Volume # 2 which can be found in the Skipping Stones Design Store I kept it simple for this card.


I stamped the image of the to go cup with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers. The coffee ring and bean I used colorbox Chocolate brown ink. I then used a postage stamp frame die for my background from cream and kraft cardstock. Then, I layered it onto coffee brown cardstock base.

Birthday Donuts with Skipping Stones Designs

Today, I am using the Donuts #5153 stamp set from Skipping Stones Design to create this cute birthday card.


I did some masking to create the stacked donut cake. I then colored it with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. Then, placed the donuts on the cake stand and embellishment it with Nuvo drops - to add dimension to the sprinkles. I also added a doily to create my table. Stamped the sentiment onto vellum and adhered it.

Thank you for stopping by I can't wait to see your cards using the Donuts # 5153 Stamp Set.
