Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card is a prototype for the one I plan to send this year. I know I will get at lease one coffee mug because my family knows that I collect them. I pulled out my Christmas mugs (each one of a kind) at Thanksgiving so we could start enjoying them together. Five of us are big coffee drinkers so I have to make at least two pots of coffee when they are all here!
What I usually do is write exactly what was in the gift on the tag. I then tack those to my bulletin board above my computer as a reminder until the Thank You is sent. I have substituted tiny post it notes in this design!!
I used the following Kitchen Sink Stamps' Sets to complete this design:
Holly & Mistletoe Multi Step Clear Stamps
These are the color recipes I used to create this coffee cup. I stamped the holly first.
Holly Color Recipe
Layer 1 Stampin' Up Lemon Lime Twist
Layer 2 Stampin' Up Emerald Enby
Layer 3 - Memento Northern Pine
Berries Color Recipe
Layer 1 Memento Lady Bug
Layer 2 Memento Love Letter
Layer 3 Memento Elderberry
After masking the leaves and berries, I added the mug on top using this recipe:
Coffee Mug Color Recipe
Layer 1 Memento Lady Bug
Layer Memento Love Letter
Layer 3 Stampin' Up Lovely Lipstick
Layer 4 Memento Rhubarb Stalk
The sentiment was stamped using Stampin' Up Early Espresso.
Embellishments for this card include the adhesive backed cork board and the silver nailheads.
