All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.
Thank you for stopping by.

Thanks a latte

Thanks a latte
# 393-2014-11
Supplies used :
Cardstock : Fall and Halloween combo matstack, Chocolate Brown, White, Simple Stories 6x6 paper pack.
Stamp Set : Thanks a latte clear stamp set

The design layout for this card is from this weeks Mojo Monday card sketch challenge. This weeks challenge was to make a tall and skinny card that is 3.5 x 5.5. There are a few ways you can make your card this size. However, the way I did it is simply this......I took a regular size (5.5 x 4.25) blank pre-folded card, measured the 4.25 side to 3.5 and cut off the excess...making it a 3.5 x 5.5 card that opens from the left side instead of the bottom side.
You can find this card challenge at http://www/mojomonday.blogspot.com

Now, I wasn't exactly trying to use a "Fall" type background, but I thought this kind of printed cardstock was too pretty to not use as my main background and first layer. 

For my second layer, I used a brown and white striped paper from my Simple Stories paper pack.

For my third layer, I used a checkered cardstock paper from my Fall and Halloween combo matstack. The next layer is just a white square.

The latte cup and the sentiment are both from the Thanks a latte clear stamp set. Now, since I don't actually have this stamp set, I googled it on google images, saved it to a file on my computer, and then brought the saved image into my Windows Paint program where I colored it in, re-saved it, printed it, and cut it out by hand. Then I used double-sided adhesive mounting circles to put them on my card, making my card complete.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Please come back soon to see more of my hand-made greeting cards.
