I have to say that Bugaboo has an incredible selection of fun digital images. It is one of my favorite places to look for digital stamps and I have several that I have used over the past few years. I have three of their "coffee" stamps. This one is call Java Great Day ... don't you love it??!! :) I used the image of the coffee cup, but didn't use their sentiment, instead I used the same words, but printed it in a fun font that I downloaded called Celebration Time. Having fun experimenting with the different fonts that are available for free on the internet :)
I used a layout that I have seen several times over the past few months ... a partial die-cut circle surrounding the focal image - it's a great way to highlight your image. I added a line of stitching to give it even more impact. Simple paper pieced image ... I had so much fun making this Clean and Simple card. FYI, I printed off the "foam" onto white card stock, smeared it with dazzling diamonds glitter and once dry cut it out. I gave it a little shape using my stylus and mat so that it has a bit of dimension - not sure if that comes across in the photo, but it was a small effort to give it a bit more oomph!

Great card. Love the paper piecing.
Love the diamond cream!! This is a great layout. Sorry not been to see you much this week. It hopefully will get back on track!
Love this "off the edge" look Loll - I've been seeing it around quite a bit as well. Your paper piecing is magnificent as usual and I love the glittery foam.

Super perfect fit in the cut out! Another fabulous creation!
Fab card design, Loll, and I love the fun sentiment - pity I don't like coffee :)
Your cards are just so simple but always so amazing. I don't know how you come up with so many ideas with so few things.
Love Lea x
Oooooh - the "off the edge" cut-out is one of my favourite ways of displaying a sentiment!! Your paper-piecing is fab. Loll, as always.
