Coffee Cafe Sneak Peek

A couple weeks ago I shared the Coffee Break Suite with you.
This is my FAVORITE suite in the new Annual Catalog (at least right now).
I have my Suite Surprise class this coming week but I wanted to give everyone a little sneak peek, so we made this card at Thursday night’s Relay for Life Stamping Fundraiser.
I saw a card on Pinterest (thank you Lyssa Z) and knew that it was a perfect sneak peek.
I love the Powder Pink and Smoky Slate color combo.
Stamping all those little hearts on the cup was a bit time consuming but it is SO ADORABLE!!
It also gave me the opportunity to use the new Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon — so, so pretty.

Whisper White — 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (I stamped all cut out pieces on this)
stamp coffee cup with Powder Pink — stamp hearts inside cup
stamp dome lid with Powder Pink – stamp whip cream twirl inside dome lid with Smoky Slate ink (this twirl doesn’t get cut out)
stamp whip cream twirl again with Smoky Slate ink (this one gets cut out)
stamp straw with Powder Pink ink
stamp “HI” with Powder Pink ink
Cut out all pieces using the Coffee Cups Framelits
Smoky Slate — cut out cup wrap with framelt
Assemble all coffee cup pieces — straw attaches to whip cream twirl in the dome lid and then the cut out whip cream goes over the top of the straw
Wrap Whisper White Bakers Twine around cup wrap
Thread two pieces of Whisper White Bakers Twine through “HI” tag and tie onto the twine on wrap around

SO ADORABLE — I can’t wait for Wednesday night’s Suite Surprise class using this whole suite.

Today’s card has lots of new products.
I started with the Crafting Forever stamp set and then chose the Delightful Daisy designer paper.
Then I took my color combo from the designer paper — Wisteria Wonder and Calypso Coral.

Relay for Life Stamping Fundraiser

Last night I held a stamping fundraiser for The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
We had a great time stamping together for a wonderful cause.
My friend, Donna Johnson, has a team and she has been raising funds over the past 9 years.
Her team is called Jeanne’s Angels!!!
Donna Johnson, Relay for Life, American Cancer SocietyDonna is the one in the green Relay for Life shirt.
I am proud to help her and my customers did a FABULOUS job last night.
Relay for Life, American Cancer Society
It was hard to get everyone into the picture — a few are missing here but you can see that they are having a great time — looks at those smiles.
Relay for Life, American Cancer Society
They are busy stamping away – look at the concentration.
Relay for Life, American Cancer Society, Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Balls
I even “played” Becky Homecky!!
I made chocolate covered Rice Krispie Balls — YUMMY!!!
I even found some In Color chocolate wafers — Lemon Lime Twist and Powder Pink.
Cupcakes, Relay for Life, American Cancer Society
And of course they MUST be chocolate at every stamping event.
Donna made these fabulous cupcakes — everyone enjoyed these treats.

We had a great time together and even better we were able to give Donna a $750 check for the American Cancer Society — Jeanne’s Angels.
I want to THANK everyone who attended and donated money, placed orders and everything else.
You are all amazing.
Donna — you are a wonderful person — I’ll be thinking about you walking all night long!!!
