~Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Store ~ Coffee, Tea or Me?~

April 21st, 2012 by

Happy Saturday!

If it’s Saturday, then it must be time for another Ribbon Inspiration post!  This week we’re sharing words of comfort.  If you’ve arrived here from Sharon Johnson’s blog, then you’re in the right spot!   I suggest you start back on Sharon Johnson’s blog in order to find out how you can be eligible for today’s blog prize.  It is a mystery blog candy, meaning that the winner can be chosen from any of the blogs involved.

This week, it’s all about Coffee or Tea.   I’m a coffeeaholic.   Just the other day my husband came home with a carton of International Delight’s new Iced Coffee (mocha flavored!).   Now I will be drinking coffee day and night!

I made two fun samples for today.   I used the new Verve set called Better With You.   Sharon has added some spectacular new Coffee/Tea items (including this set!) to her store.   You can view them all ->HERE <-.

Here is my first card…

Doesn’t that have coffee written all over it?  Even has a little coffee ring to prove it !

Here are my details:

Stamps: Verve Better With You clear stamps set, JustRite’s Classic Lace Edges One

Paper: Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler, Kaisercraft’s Nan’s Favorites

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa, Versamark, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: White embossing powder, Bronze Rhinestones, dimensionals, sponges

~*~*~

And for my second….


I love my tea, too!   A hot cup of Earl Gray or a glass of iced… either way, yum!

Here are my details:

Stamps:  Verve Better With You

Paper: GP White, Prima Almanac Collection dp (gorgeous, huh?!)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories:  7/8″ Gingham in black/ivory, brown and blush embroidery floss, Prima Almanac Wood buttons, dimensionals, sticky tape

    Love both cards. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Can’t decide if I feel like a cup of coffee, or a cup of tea.

  55. on 22 Apr 2012 at 07:3355 Caryn S.

    Your cards are adorable! I swear every time I see people make coffee and tea themed stamps I HAVE to have a set! I drink both and not only that DH has relatives in UK (MIL is UK-born) and they always come for tea when they are stateside. These would be so great to use for gifts and cards with them in mind!

  56. on 22 Apr 2012 at 07:5356 Connie MacFarlane

    Fabulous cards Holly! The colour choices are perfect.

    Love, love these cards, especially the second one. Makes me think of my favorite person in the world, my mother-in-law, good grief I miss that lady.

  70. on 23 Apr 2012 at 23:0070 Shona

    I’m not a coffee drinker, but I think that first card is so well done. What coffee fan wouldn’t love to get a card like that ? I’m inspired now to go do a “coffee” card for a friend. Thanks !!

  71. on 24 Apr 2012 at 08:0671 Debbie Juillerat

    Both cards are very cute; awesome job!
