Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello there coffee loving crafty peeps!  It’s Kerry here and I’m back with another fun Sunday Sip!  This week I’m sharing a card.I created featuring the Divinity Designs stamp/die set Hug in a Mug. 

My inspiration for this card design comes from one of the newest handmade mugs in my collection.  I spent the day yesterday wandering around at the American Craft Council show in Baltimore and did a little shopping too.  I go to this event every year specifically to see and purchase pottery (mostly coffee mugs).  This year, I discovered several new potters and had some fun chatting with them and purchasing some of their beautiful works.  This card mimics the fun exterior (and a hint of the celadon interior of this mug:

Isn’t it beautiful?!  It’s made by Philadelphia based studio potter Ryan Greenheck. I love the subtle hint of glaze trailing, the velvety matte exterior and the glossy celadon interior.  SOOO gorgeous!

It was a bit tricky to photograph the “glaze trailing” on this card as the lighting wouldn’t cooperate.  I tried my best, so I hope you can see the scoring I achieved (and highlighted with a cream Copic marker) on the cardfront.

The sentiment is just a little reminder for me to always wake up grateful…Sooo much to be grateful for!  

Thanks so much for hopping over to check out this week’s creation.  As I spend time unpacking all the rest of my treasures, I’m going to make sure to test this beauty out today…with a few tasty brews!
