Woohoo! I finally used the adorable coffee break set from Waffle flower!! For my second card I used a cameo frame die from my stash because I wanted the card to look like a portrait on the wall. I used foam tape on some of the books to create some dimension and to make it look like the books were pouring out of the frame. To improve it I would have used a more contrasting color for the frame and maybe put some books within the portrait, behind the bear. I am still working on understanding color combinations, thus I think if the books had been a more saturated color, think reds and browns, it would have gone better. Still really happy with how it turned out!

Honey Bee & Tea

Main Ingredients:

Queen and Company Square Pop Up Die 

Honey Bee Coffee Break Stamp and Die set 

 I stamped out all of my images using my mini misti and colored them all in using my alcohol ink markers. I tried a few different combinations using all 4 images, but the colors didn't quite jive how I wanted them to, so I opted to make 2 cards instead. 

This is my entry for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Time Out

I used the 'Time for Tea' sentiment from a Hero Arts tea party stamp set I had.

Main Ingredients:

Gerda Steiner Coffesaurus

Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Die Set

 Lawn Fawn Mini Picture Frames Die

 This card was a blast to make! I ran into a few issues, but in the end I am very happy with how it turned out! Issue one: The glitter paper I got from the dollar store was so thin it made wrinkles when I adhered it to the card base. I fixed that by placing my circle cut out and dinosaur on those wrinkles. Issue number two: My card looked too bare! I fixed this by using the little frame die set and adding in a sentiment from the stamp set inside. The stamp set didn't have the exact phrase I wanted, so I used the 2 front and back bits of the saying and wrote in 'congratulations'. My penmanship is a little iffy but it gets the point across!

Bella's Dreams & Imagination

 Main Ingredients:

Stamping Bella Dorothy the Dreamer Stamp Set 

Echo Park Alice in Wonderland Paper Pad

 First things first, I colored my adorable image. Then fussy-cut it out. There is some bleed through on the back of the paper from a stamp I had colored before, but decided I did not like the coloring job. I figured that I could color over the bleed through and my image would still look fine. 

Next, I put together my papers on my card base and foamed my image up to give it some dimension. I really wanted this to look like the little girl's bedroom, so I chose 2 patterns that looked like a wall with pictures and then one that looked like wallpaper. I also added the word "dream" with a little doodle on a white die cut piece of paper.

Inside Sentiment:
