It's Coffee Time!!!

I don't find a lot of time to enter challenges but two things I like are Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge and ATCs.  I like most of the HLS challenges but just can't fit them all in.  For July the ATC challenge is coffee and I "broke in" a set by Karen Berniston, they are little mini coffee themed dies, can be used as charms.  I was having so much fun cutting I had to make more than one ATC. oh btw ATC stands for Artist Trading Card 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches and they can be traded or given never sold. The work great as the focal point of a larger card too.

 Background paper is from Stampin'up, Almost everything was made with scraps that's why ATCs are great. The coffee stamp and coffee bean stamp are from Verve (won them in a blog hop)

are these not the most adorable little take out cups, this set from Karen is just so cute an many pieces.

I can't tell you what company this stamp is from (it is at the cottage) I'm not even sure I looked to see who made it when I bought it. (we used it at a class) The cup and whipped cream is also from the set. as are the hearts.

Another part of the set is the straw and the dome which I cut from some acetate. I layered it on a brown oval as it wouldn't show up on the background.

I'm entering this in:

Happy Little Stampers ~~ July ATC challenge

Thanks for checking in again today and have a crafty week.

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #267

Another two weeks has flown by again, I'm glad I still have a couple of challenges left as Guest Designer at House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.  As always the challenge is Anything Goes with an option to use dies, now I'd say that's an easy challenge for sure. Just remember to use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or a Gruffie on your project. I went with the Die Cut route and used a Karen Burniston Oval Landscape Accordion Die set.

Make a Wish 02 with Amanda and Monica is the stamp I used, it fits perfect in the oval. 

This is the card closed. The die set comes with frame, ovals and the corner pieces too.

Open card I used a Stampworks sentiment.

Closer look at the sentiment.

Here is the back of the opened card. Both sentiments are from Stampworks.

Thanks for stopping by today if you haven't checked out the MAIN BLOG head over and see what the design team have made and see the awesome prizes you can win if you enter the challenge.
