It's the 3rd Monday of the month, so that means a new hop for the Stamp Review Crew! This time we are featuring a favorite set of mine, Perfect Blend. I'm totally addicted to both coffee and coffee stamps, so of course I had to have this one. It's such a fun set! You should totally get it if you have any coffee lovers on your card list.
If you came here from Kerry Willard Bray's blog, I'm sure you were treated to a special project. Be sure you've went through the entire hop! I'm the caboose of the group, but you can start all over with Heidi Baks and her amazing blog.
Yeah, yeah... Starbucks red cup addiction. I have it in both drink and craft form. :) I just couldn't resist! I love the red, green, kraft combination too. Another current addiction I guess. lol Isn't it so fun and festive?! You could totally add a gift card and make it a gift for that coffee lover on your list...or me. I'd take it for sure!

ReplyDeleteLove these, Rita! Even though I am so NOT a coffee lover, I think these cards are beautiful. I especially love the paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteLots of dots on these cards, and it is a wonderful thing! I agree with Shana, that little tree in the first card is soooo adorable! And you Valentine's card is lovely also. You know, sometimes I am tempted to make a card for my hubby to give to me too, lol!
