Need to Venti?

Happy Saturday All!!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far!  I have to be honest here.  Last night at dinner, I was a little confused as to what day it was.  I thought it was Saturday.  I really did!!  LOL  Not sure why yesterday felt like a Saturday, but I was actually relieved to find out it was only Friday night and I still had a full Saturday ahead of me!  

In my last post, I shared one of my FAV stamp sets from the A Muse Studio Stamp and Dies catalog.  Well, today I am sharing the other set that I fell in love with the first time I glanced through their catalog.  I just LOVE coffee!!  SO I was immediately drawn to this cute little coffee cup.   BUT what made the stamp set a MUST have for me was the "punny" sayings that went along with the coffee cup.  I just LOVE a play on words, so I KNEW that this would be one of the first sets that I purchased for my "collection".  

AND so, for my first card created with this set....


I have to admit that when I finished this card, I fell in love with it!!  This photo really does not do it justice.  In person, it is very pleasing to the eyes.  The soft colors of the Pebble CS, Sky CS and Sky Mini Hexagon CS against the Sugar CS feel SO calming together.  I hope that it has the same feeling for my recipient.


I'm pretty sure I said this in an earlier post, but I just LOVE that the majority of A Muse Studio stamp sets have a coordinating die set that goes with.  What is SO GREAT about this?  Let me tell you!  LOL  For one, I would have had to stamp this cup out 3 different times, PLUS cut out each piece, just to create a layered look.  Not to mention, my cutting skills are good, but not GREAT!  lol  BUT with the coordinating dies, all I had to do was choose the 3 colors I wanted, lay them out on my Cuttlebug along with the dies and roll them through.  EASY PEASY and SO fast!!

Stamp Set: Need to Venti
Paper: Sky CS, Pebble CS, Sugar CS, Sky Mini Hexagon CS

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #469

Happy Hump Day all!!  Hope your week is going GREAT so far!!  Mine is coming along quite well, especially since I have been doing some card making over the past few days!!  I have to admit that I have been struggling a bit with my crafting mojo since I switched to A Muse Studio.  It's not that I don't LOVE it, it's just that it is different from what I am used to having to create with.  BUT I think I am over it now and am getting my creative mojo on with A Muse Studio!!  YAY ME!!


I am going to share 3 different cards with you today.  The first one is my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card.  The other two are ones that I created to go along with the first one.  After creating ALL 3, I have decided to offer these as my FIRST A Muse Studio card class!!  WOO HOO!!  I took the month of October off so I could play with my new products and figure out how I am going to run my card class with A Muse Studio.  But after making these cards, I am READY to begin again!!



SO this is my Mojo Monday Sketch challenge card!!  I just LOVE this little cow!!  Not to mention, the "punny" sentiment that goes along with it!  The stamp I used for all 3 cards is "Go Hog Wild".  It was one of the stamp sets that I fell in love with when I first discovered A Muse Studio.  SO naturally, it was one of the first sets that I ordered after I joined.  


These little pigs (hogs) are SO cute!!  Of course, the sentiment makes the card that much cuter!!  The balloons are one of the dies that go in the die set that coordinates with the stamp set.  LOVE the coordinating dies that go with most of A Muse Studio's stamp sets!!  Sure makes "cutting" things out a heck of a lot faster/easier!!


SO funny story to tell about this card.  After I create a card, I usually text a pic of it to my friend Stacey to see what she thinks about it.  Her response made me giggle, then wonder if I should still go ahead and post it!  LOL  She told me that the card was cute!!  BUT that the SHEEP looked more like a DOG that was scooting his butt across the floor!!  Of course, now I can't look at that poor little sheep without seeing a dog scoot his butt across the floor.  If you have a dog, you will know EXACTLY what I am talking about!  OH GOODNESS!
