The Paper Players #529: A CAS Challenge from LeAnne

 Hi Friends! I'm playing along over at The Paper Players where LeAnne has a CAS Challenge for us featuring felines:

Now, I'm not a cat person.  Not because I don't want to be but that is one allergy that I never outgrew.  Needless to say, I have a ton of dog stamps but only 2 stamps featuring cats!  I chose the one stamp that wouldn't start me sneezing:

My kitty coffee cup came from Catherine Pooler and the sentiment from My Favorite Things.  I used a coffee bean embossing folder on the top 2/3 of the card and stenciled little rays of sunshine around the cup. I used Stampin' Up Blends to color the hypoallergenic cat :) 

Thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you're having a good week!

Hugs,

Annie

Shopping Our Stash #432: Hot Drinks for Cold Nights

 Hi Friends! I'm playing along over at Shopping Our Stash where they are looking for Hot Drinks for Cold Nights. 

 I'm not really a Pumpkin Spice Latte gal like so many of my friends but I do love a Spiced Chai Latte, especially in the Fall and Winter.

I found this die cut oval with a Copic-colored coffee cup (Unity) in my extra die cuts stash (totally by accident) and immediately thought of this challenge.  I added some DSP and linen thread to a card base.  I popped up the oval and used Glossy Accents on the heart.  I also did some splatters and added a great sentiment from Technique Tuesday to the inside:

Cheers to all and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Annie

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #063

Hey there! I'm very excited today because I've been asked to be a Guest Designer over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!  I think this challenge is so much fun because there are so many different ways to go with their creative boards.  Check out this week's board:

I went with the first row down for my card: Rainbow, Purple, and Coffee. Why...because I LOVE COFFEE! 

I die cut the coffee cup three times - twice out of white cardstock and once from MFT's Over the Rainbow DSP - and layered them together.  The purple DSP strip is from the same paper pack.  I added steam to the cup and highlighted the steam with Gelly's Clear Star glitter pen.  Finally I stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday's Sassy Coffee stamp set - one of my faves for coffee cards.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you'll play along!  Special thanks to the DT for letting me join in the fun this week :) 

Hugs,

Annie
