Sunshine in my pocket

Take Each Day One Cup at a Time

May 18, 2018 Paper Crafting

I’m back with some more fun projects using dies! I love these Cups & Mugs Dies from Our Daily Bread Designs! Here’s my first card:

sunshine-tea-cup-perks-you-up-2

I die cut those tea cups using this die and this paper. I love the sentiment “I Hope this perks you up!” (It’s from this set here). Those tea cups look like they are precariously perched!! Lol.

That spoon is cut from silver foil paper and it looks JUST like a stainless steel spoon. *Wink*

I added some distress ink to the lower portion of this card, as well as to the cups and around the edge of the card. It might be hard to tell in this photo, but there are also some vertical score lines in the background to add some more texture to the card. It looks so cool in real life!

My next card is another pick-me-up:

sunshine-one-cup-at-a-time

That mug is just so fun and filled with hot cocoa (lol…hot cocoa for me!) Believe it or not, I used the Boho Egg die to make the steam coming out of that hot cup of cocoa!! Isn’t is just perfect for steam? I popped a couple of the steam flags up using craft foam for more dimension. Lots of ink blending on this one, and for a bit of sunshine in the background I used this die as a stencil!

For my last card I went more tropical, I just couldn’t resist turning those mini dies into tropical drinks!

sunshine-wish-you-were-here-tropical-drinks

All those colorful drinks are just delightful! I’m thinking lemonade, watermelon juice, limeaid, and orange fizz! So fun. And if I were drinking one of these on a beach somewhere I really would “Wish you were here!”

I used this paper pad for the background paper, this die for the leaves, and this set for the sentiment.

That’s all for me today…check out the ODBD website for more information about these sweet new dies. I am loving them!
