Happy Saturday!

This week, it’s all about Coffee or Tea. I’m a coffeeaholic. Just the other day my husband came home with a carton of International Delight’s new Iced Coffee (mocha flavored!). Now I will be drinking coffee day and night!

Something different with the dark background on each card. Like the choice of coffee or tea. Thanks for the ideas. Edna
Beautiful! Love the kraft color on your coffee card, just like some of the cups we receive at the fancy shops. The coffee ring is too funny! The tea card is gorgeous with the soft and pretty teacup. Love that big, bold ribbon too. Wonderful inspiration today. Thanks!

Holly, both cards are great. Lots of effort put into both. Wow! I especially like the You’re My Cup of Tea card. Love gingham.
Love both of your cards…the colors, the coffee rings (LOL), …either could be used for a male receiver! Thanks for your inspiration and sharing of your awesome talent!!
Both cards are so cool. Love the brown and red in the first card. Great combination. I love anything black, and your use of that gingham black ribbon on the second card is awesome. Your cards are always so pretty and inspirational!

Both cards are fantastic, Holly! Wonderful designs!
I love a good cup of coffee too. Blog hopping goes so much better with a cup of joe. Great cards! I like how you added the steam from the cups. Cute ribbon treatment on the tea card.
Both cards are just lovely. I love the modern day relevance of the first card (paper cups).
Your cards are very nice.

your cards are good to the last drop!
Fabulous cards!
Love both cards. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Can’t decide if I feel like a cup of coffee, or a cup of tea.
Your cards are adorable! I swear every time I see people make coffee and tea themed stamps I HAVE to have a set! I drink both and not only that DH has relatives in UK (MIL is UK-born) and they always come for tea when they are stateside. These would be so great to use for gifts and cards with them in mind!
Fabulous cards Holly! The colour choices are perfect.
oh… both cards are just so gorgeous, deb!!
I love both cards and the colors just seem to say coffee and tea!
Love both of your cards. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Love both of the cards! Plus I love coffee and tea stamps! Great job.
Cute, cute cards! Both very nice. I love coffee, I love tea too!
Fab Fab Fabulous card! I love it. The way you put everything together is just perfect. Both cards are so “inviting” to make!
Love, love these cards, especially the second one. Makes me think of my favorite person in the world, my mother-in-law, good grief I miss that lady.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I think that first card is so well done. What coffee fan wouldn’t love to get a card like that ? I’m inspired now to go do a “coffee” card for a friend. Thanks !!
Both cards are very cute; awesome job!
