Pure Bliss and Warm Heart

Hello, everyone! Today is Day 3 of the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! This hop is open to anyone so I hope to see you over there!  You can read all about it here.

Today I'm sharing two more ATCs - they each measure 2.5" x 3.5" and are the perfect size for a Pocket Letter, which I'm hoping to have completed by the end of the hop! Actually I've started a second Pocket Letter but haven't finished the first one yet. I wanted to change colour combos! Will I make enough ATCs to finish both Pocket Letters during the hop?  I don't know but I'm going to try! I'm really having fun with them!

Card #1

This dancing kitty makes me smile! He's from Poppystamps Purrfect Holiday and I coloured him with Touch Five markers and then die-cut with the coordinating die. The pumpkin cup is a digi from Verve Stamps called Latte Love and it was a freebie during last year's fall hop (thank you!). I coloured the cup with Zig markers, inked the edges with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, and fussy-cut. The patterned paper is from K and Company and I inked the edges with the same Distress Ink.  It is layered onto kraft cardstock, which I die-cut with Memory Box Pinpoint Rectangle Layers. I stamped the sentiment from Your Next Stamp - Coffee Break and finished off the card with a few brown sequins.

Card #2

This adorable chipmunk is unfortunately no longer available. It came from Deedee's Digis and I used the precoloured version.  I die-cut the image with Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rounded Squares and inked around the edges with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I die-cut the kraft cardstock with Gina Marie Stitched Rounded Rectangles and stamped a sentiment from My Favorite Things - Hug in a Mug. I finished off the card with Crafty Ribbons sheer organza ribbon and bow.

This card was inspired by the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
