It's been awhile since I posted. Do you ever get burnt out from stamping? I do sometimes, especially after a huge DT release. Ideas run through my head, but sometimes the thought of putting them to paper can be a bit overwhelming. It usually takes another commitment to get me in the groove, and the CCEE Stampers Challenge did just that. We were to include anything postage on our projects. Well, I used the new Postage Stamps dies from Spellbinders (you can find them at Stampers Dream)along the bottom of my card. For the images, I used Verve's Better with You set. LOVE the mug, and all the little extras included in this sweet coffee/tea set. See the swirls down by the hearts? Those were stamped with one of the steam images in the set. I used both "steams" above the mug too, with Latte and French Roast inks by a muse.
The paper is all from one of my favorite companies, My Mind's Eye. It's from their Rosy Lost & Found Collection. You can find this paper at Stampers Dream also, as well as the Picot Edge Circle die (Spellbinders), that I framed the mug with.
That's it for today. Thank you so very much for stopping by. Be sure to check out the CCEE Stampers Blog to see how the girls interpreted this week's postage theme!!
Happy Stamping!

ReplyDeleteYes, Tosh, I do get burn out from stamping occasionally. I actually enjoyed my two-week break from stamping due to my surgery. I think it's important to step back occasionally and rejuvenate our creativity.

ReplyDeleteI found thiscard on pinterestand loved it so much that I've spent about an hour finding your post. Everyone had pinned it to your blog, but not the actual post. My mom is going for surgery and I hope to make her a card something like this one, though I doubt it'll turn out as nice as yours. It truly is a beautiful card. Thanks so much for sharing your talents!
