Let Us Drink Together

I've been a little remiss in posting lately.  Have had a lot on my plate.  My mom was in the hospital for a week and then the nursing home.  I handle all of her financial and health issues, besides being there for her when she needs help.  Thankfully I have a niece to takes her to her appointments and errands.  We live 100 miles apart.  That being said, my plate has been a little full lately.

In the midst of all this I was preparing for my open house.  I made some treats (mini chocolate cupcakes, mini lime cheesecakes, and I tried to make some mini cream puffs, but had trouble with them, I think I took them out too early, so ended up buying those.) Everyone made three different cards.  I also had  displays of the other 3D projects and some other card ideas.  We all had a lot of fun. 

Yesterday I went into my craft loft and came up with this.  I love, love, love the stamp set "A Nice Cuppa" and the matching die set "Kettles & Cups" from the 2016 Sale-a-bration catalog.

I paired "Kettles & Cups" die set (from Sale-a-bration catalog) with the sentiments from "Balloon Celebrations" stamps set.

 



The card base is some retired paper, Pretty in Pink, the base layer is Tip Top Taupe, cut to 5.25" x 4"

The white layer is 5" x 3.75"  I punched the corners with the Curvy Trio Punch (which is retiring the end of May).  (Here's a link to the retiring list make sure to check it out there are a lot of products, especially punches that are retiring)

I stamped hearts in Pink Pirouette, randomly, on this to add a little color.  The heart is also from the "A Nice Cuppa" stamp set.

I used three papers from the "Love Blossoms" DSP stack and cut the mugs out using the "Kettles & Cups" die set.  I turned one of the papers over so that I could get a mug handle going the other directions. I then cut out the spoon out of some metallic tape that I had. 

Love the sentiments on the Balloons Celebrations, Coffee, Tea & Hot Chocolate.  I stamped these on the mugs in Tip Top Taupe.  The center mug I attached a Dimensional to. 

The lace is Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace (also retiring).  I taped this to the back of the white layer.

I stamped the "Come Let Us Drink Together" from the "Balloon Celebrations" set onto Pretty In Pink in "Early Espresso" and attached that with a Dimensional. It was cut out with a retired "Just Saying" Framelit set.

I hope you like the way this turned out as much as I do.
