PTI March 2014 Blog Hop: High Gloss

Hello, cafe friends! It is the twenty-fifth of the month, and you know what that means! No, silly,  not Christmas. The Papertrey Ink blog hop!  This month's theme: High Gloss!

It was time to root around in my cupboard and find that oft neglected bottle of Crystal Effects and put it to some good use.


I was able to use a new Memory Box stencil to make this coffee-themed background. And from the looks of those rings, it appears that I need to switch to decaff! No, really, it's supposed to look like someone has just had a double shot of espresso. Honest!


This sentiment is really perfect for me. I love the Lord, and I love His Word, and I love his people, and I love coffee. And the best part? I can often mix all of those elements that I love together!


{Today's Brew: Latte Love stamps and die (PTI), card stock and ink (PTI), Memory Box stencil, Martha Stewart hearts border punch, gingham ribbon, prisma markers, crystal effects, Distress Stains}

I think this calls for a nice Vanilla Latte! Enjoy your day!

  1. Great Card Maryrose! That sentiment is perfect for these cups and that stencil. I think I have an old bottle of Crystal effects in the reaches of my craft room - am sure it is dried up and unusable by now. Do they even still make this stuff? Wasn't it like Glossy Accents Very nice take on the challenge!
