Freshly Brewed Designs SWEET BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the Fresh Brewed Designs New Digi Blog Hop for July!!!

If you are just arriving, please go back to the start of the hop at Kelly's blog.
If you are arriving here from Stacie's blog then you are right on track!
What is this hop all about you ask???

Sweet Talking!!!
Rich, creamy, chocolaty, fruity, thick, airy, light, sweet and delicious! Dessert. Something we all LOVE and crave!
Fresh Brewed Designs has their own special recipe for SWEET things and added a few new ingredients to their already darling Angel Cakes for this image release. Angel Cake loves summer and ice cream and hanging out with her new best friend Huckleberry Pie.
Along this hop you will see Angel, Huck, and some too sweet for words images that have been added to the Fresh Brewed Designs shop.

For my card I am featuring the image Huckleberry Pie!
Isn't he adorable?
I colored little Huckleberry Pie with my copic markers and paper pieced his little shirt.
The background designer paper is from DCWV "the Mademaiselle Stack"
The slice of pie is Martha Stewart
I printed out a recipe, added a big blue gingham bow and made a stick pin out of the pins and beads that my mother gave to me. Thank you, Mom!

My second card is Angel Cake Kite!

I had a lot of fun making little Angel Cake soar through the clouds as she hung onto to her kite! Who is coming up behind her at the end of the other kite? Her new friend, Huckleberry Pie, of course!
To make this card, I paper pieced little Angel Cake and her kite with Martha Stewart designer paper.
The decorative kite is Martha Stewart also.
The guazy ribbon is from Stampin Up.
I also used silver ribbon from my scraps, but you can't see it in the picture.
I tied a light and airy bow with wide pink sheer ribbon and added a stick pin that I made with beads that my mother gave me.
The cupcake is Jolee's Boutique
If you know a little girl, I guarantee you that she will love getting a sweet Angel Cake card!

Coffee Take Me Away!


Hello!
This is my second card as guest designer on Freshly Brewed Challenges!
Today I'm sharing this pretty card that I made with the "Coffee Take Me Away" stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs!
The monthly challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges for the month of July is the following recipe! 2 papers - 2 embellishments - 2 shapes
I love this stamped image!  I think that she sends the perfect message to RELAX and ENJOY  YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

As you can see from my pictures, I made a window card with the pretty, "Coffee Take Me Away" stamp on the inside!
I used my Nestabilities large scallop die to cut the window. (I don't own the plain circle nestabilities yet)
Then I used my Marianne die to cut out the pretty Lacy doily circles that I used to frame the image on both the inside and the outside.
I used K&Company designer paper I paper pieced the pretty tea cup bathtub and the towel. Using this rubber stamp made it so fun and easy to do paper piecing!
Paper roses and corner embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts
I used my Stampin Up oval punch and oval scallop punch for my sentiment.
The inside corner triangles were made with my Stampin Up ticket punch.
I colored the image with my copic markers.

Thank you so much for looking!

The background designer paper and coordinating star paper is DCWV "The Guy Stack".
The ribbon is SU Certainly Celery and the button is from my grandmothers button tin!
I used a SU clear brad on the cowboy boots and colored it with my copic marker.
