Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Happy Monday Friends!  Today is a big day for me on this blog, because it is my last as a DT Member.  I will likely be back around as part of the Brew Crew, but after almost 4 years on this DT, I have decided it is time to step down.  My work, which I like (most of the time- wink) is good, but takes up more of my time and I just have to shift priorities.  But don’t worry, be frappy!   There are positives around every bend….

Point proven with this bright Cup of Positivi-Tea!  isn’t it just fabulous and bright and happy?  I have been wanting to use this image from the new Trinity Stamps release as soon as I got it, but you know… time… So, this was a good opportunity to use it.

I made this bright cut using Cup of Positivi-Tea from Trinity, stamped with Versafine on watercolor paper and colored with Zigs.  I used the coordinating Cup of Positivi-Tea dies to cut out the mug and the sentiment.  I stamped the image again on white cardstock and cut it out with my Slimline Frame and Fold.  I mounted the die cut images using foam tape.  Next, I mounted that layer on some of the yellow DP from the Rainbow Brights pack.  That in turn was mounted on a bit of black cardstock with rounded corners. On the base, I used the Trinity Quilted Cover Plate Die on the white backdrop.  I used my Blending Buddy, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide and Quilted Pattern Trio Stencil on the background. Lastly, I added these Morganite Muse Gems with glue dots.

I love the way it tured out and it makes me happy.  Like I said, lots of positivi-TEA for this final post.  I will miss being part of this fabulous team, but will continue to cheer form the sidelines, visit as often as possible and play with the team when I can.  Thank you to Amy and all the DT ladies for being fantastic!
