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!
