MCT March Release Blog Hop & Link Up

Yay, today is the My Creative Time March Release Blog Hop! Have you already ordered your stamps? If so I hope you will join us for the Linky-party that Emma will be having on her blog, if not you still have time to order and play along! You can get the full details over on Emma's Blog.

If you are coming here from Cindy's beautiful blog you are in the right spot, if not make sure to start back at Emma's blog so you don't miss a single thing.

Today I am showcasing two of Emma's newest stamp sets. I used Coffee backgrounds for the super awesome background argyle on my card and Do the Cocoa Motion for the sentiments and hot cocoa cup. I also used Emma's Stitched Oval Die, it is definitely one of my favorite go to dies for sentiments.


This card is totally simple but I just didn't want to take away from these beautiful stamps and dies. It is another 3.5" x 3.5" card. I heat embossed the background with clear embossing powder. I added some puffy paint to the cream that is overflowing from the mug and I added some red Stickles to the tiny hearts. Then I used my Gellyroll to do a little stitching and I also added just a touch of twine from Trendy Twine. 

***GIVEWAY ALERT***
For our Blog hop giveaway, each one of us will be giving away a brand new release Echo Park 6x6 pad! All you have to do is leave a comment here along with the rest of the design team's blogs AND also leave a way for me to contact you!
