and my choice of coffee.....

I tied up the box after putting my coffee in and decorating the outside with

3 Girl Jam Crinkle ribbon in Tuxedo

from the Celebrations Collection

I attached an adorable coffee gift tag using the stamp and dies

from My Creative Time...

One of the dies in that set has the coffee wrap and I die cut  it in the ribbon to fit the cup.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock~ White, Orange~

Guest Designer for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon

Morning Bloggers!!

I am so excited to share my project with you today
and hope you like what I have made...

I am very happy to be a Guest Designer over at

Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon 

 where my friend Lisa, who's store is soooo adorable
sells Cutting Files, Digital Papers and Digital Clip Art
So for my card today I used the adorable
Monster Mash Cutting Files

and came up with this...

Isn't he just the cutest???

I put him on a Action Wobble...took a video and when loaded it it came out sideways :(

So I can not show you how cute he is when he wobbles

But I can tell you he was cut out using my Cameo and was cut at

almost 4"...pretty big but with the details in the cut I wanted to make sure he was cut clean.

Instead of using the bow in the file I added some Trendy Twine in

Orange Licorice. 

 Don't you just love the great details in this cut....Adorable for sure!

For my sentiment I used the fun sentiment set from

 Bugbites~Magic Spells

Supplies Used:

Card Stock~ PTI~

Stampers Select White, True Black, Orange Zest

Designer Paper~ My Minds Eye~

Haunted

Cut File~ Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon~

Monster Mash Cutting File

Sentiment~ Bugbites~

Magic Spells

Extra's~ Trendy Twine~

Orange Licorice

Sewing Machine

Action Wobble

So what do you think???

I love this cut and love how my card turned out!
