Coffee Date with Amy

I’m so excited to share about a new feature that we’ll be posting during the next couple of months, it’s called Coffee Date.  Each designer that plays along gets to invite a crafty friend to join them on the blog.

My Coffee Date today is with Renee, IG @pnwcraftgirl.  I’ve been seeing Renee a lot lately due to crafty garage sales and bumping into her at bubble tea!  I asked her to pick a coffee set and I picked a sketch.  First up, a smidge about Renee:

Hi Everyone!  My name is Renee and I’m from the Pacific Northwest.  I’ve been in the Seattle area my whole life.  My husband and I have been married for 12 years and we have a beautiful 9-year-old daughter.  Fun fact, I met my husband in 9th grade.  I started paper crafting 13 years ago.  My first project was my wedding invitations.  Talk about just jumping in to it!  I’ve been addicted to paper crafting ever since.  Aside from crafting, I am an escrow closer by day, love to travel and am a total foodie.

Okay, here’s the details about our card inspiration…

stamp set:  Altenew Coffee Love

sketch: (retired) Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try

 

Here’s Renee’s card:

Here’s how I was inspired:
