SNSS Friday ~ Cuppa love!



Blessings on this Friday morning! Dh has the long 3 day weekend off (major curve ball to my stamping time, tee hee!) but I'm blessed! I'm already hearing the words "Breakfast" so I should appropriately show you this cup - not of coffee, but Eskimo love!
This is from the SNSS stamps called Eskimo Love. Awhile back, I found a site with templates on it and I knew I wanted to use the coffee mug for this card - it just has a wintery, warm you up, good feeling to it :) (I cannot find the site! I'm sorry! I'm still looking!) I printed out the template onto cardstock, cut it and then layered some DSP and covered it, like paper-piecing :) I added the line of pearls as an after thought - not too many cups with pearls, but it made for a wonderful addition to the card! I closed off the card with a small brad so I could slide a card tag inside :)
For the tag, I ran my vanilla cardstock through the cuttlebug using the snowflake folder & colored the Eskimo friends with prismacolor markers. Added some borders & sewn ribbon & button and it's ready to go! You can easily add in here a Gift Card as well - they both fit nicely together.
Make sure to head on over to SNSS - they have wonderful stamps for you to chose from and many are on sale ~ take a peek! TFL and have a terrific weekend!

  5. OMGosh! GF hook me up! Copy of template, please :D :D :D :D

    This is beyond adorable! Love the papers and the image you used - so cute! And I can attest that some mug/tea cups have pearl-like texture around the rims, so those are right on no matter how you look at it! :D {{{{HUGS}}}
