Design Space Friday Coffee Inspired Card

Today's Design Space Friday is all about COFFEE!

The coffee cup shaped card on the outside was totally created in Design Space and the heart in the center is the piece cut from the inside sentiment piece.

And remember to complete the inside and outside.

The inside sentiment is a special stamp Jeanette Lynton, Close To My Heart Founder, created for those who attended this year's Convention!

The envelope sentiment is from the Share the Joy August Special - don't miss out on this AMAZING stamp set!

Thank you for joining me today

Texture Paste and Stencils

It is Tips and Techniques Thursday and today's technique is using Texture Paste with a stencil cut from the Close To My Heart Cricut Artbooking Digital Collection and stencil sheets.

Using the Tombow Mono liquid glue, which is a two way glue, goes on white and let it dry and becomes repositionable, allows you to hold the stencil in place for easy application.
