Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / February 2021

Celeste and I are back for our February Coffee & Cards post !! We all know that this is the month for Valentines and love but we chose to go with an overall Hearts theme .. Didn't have to be a Valentine .. So what better inspiration photo to use than some beautiful, delicious cookies !!

I get together with a group of paper-crafters on ZOOM a few times a month on Sundays. For our Christmas party, we played a Bingo game and I won a prize !! I received this fun Close To My Heart Operation Smile stamp set - True Love.  I had also just purchased a package of Kraft card/envelope sets at Michaels AND the cards already had a heart border. How perfect is that !?!?!?

• I lined up the stamps on my MISTI to create my card panel - the cute girl, the sentiment and the XOXO.
• I used my Mini Stamping Bug to get crisp, clear images !!
• Gina K Jet Black Amalgam Ink  was stamped for the girl and the sentiment. Lady Bug Memento Dew Drop Ink was used for the XOXO.
• The image was colored with my COPICS . 
• I trimmed the stamped panel of  to fit on the front of my card .
• At the bottom of the stamped panel, I placed a piece of Mary Engelbreit washi tape .

Over at Celeste's blog - Crafting Junky -  you can see her Heart-themed card !! Hearts have always been a favorite image of mine. My guy Brian gave me a heart-shaped sapphire ring for our first Christmas together in 2001. And today we will be celebrating Valentines Day together with dinner cooked by him and dessert made by me . There isn't anyone else I'd rather be sharing my COVID-19 bubble with ..

For my coffee today, I am drinking a Gingerbread brew with Sweet Cream creamer. I got the coffee K-cups at Aldi's and it has flavors of molasses, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla icing. Who could resist ??  And after a long day at work and being rear-ended on my way home one day this week, I came home to a delivery of a coffee cup I had bought online on clearance from Michaels. NO, I didn't need another coffee cup and YES, I get rid of an old one for each new one I get - but you will have to admit that this one is amazing !!!!
