Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / August 2024

It's time for my August collaboration with Celeste .. Each month we choose a theme and make a card .. We also talk about our latest coffee favorite - and often share a new cup !!  This time our theme is TWINE.  I have several rolls of Baker's Twine that I've been using for years . All I had to do was come up with a card idea !!

I am not a big Taylor Swift fan but do love one of her songs and especially 1 line in that song . I saw it in a stamp set by Erin Lee Creative - Me and Karma - and just had to have it !! Then I just had to find the perfect image for it . I think that I hit the jackpot with a set of stamps by Technique Junkie - Vamps and Vixens . This set is retired but there are many fun images that could be used with this sentiment.

• I stamped the Woman image on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink .
• Below the woman I stamped the sentiment with Cranberry Fizz ink from Catherine Pooler .
• I wrapped a piece of Pink Lemonade twine around the stamped panel .
• The stamped panel was trimmed and mounted on a piece of turquoise cardstock.
• I adhered the completed panel to a multi-color plaid card base .

I'm looking forward to seeing what Celeste comes up with for this twine theme. Check out her blog - Crafting Junky  - for her card .  I was lucky enough to get a new coffee cup for my birthday from a dear friend . And I absolutely love it - my friend Donna knows me well !! I am drinking IHOP Buttery Syrup coffee as I write this post and admire my new cup . We are finally cooling down here a bit and by that I mean we are only in the high 80's, instead of the high 90's . I am very much looking forward to Fall weather - sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes and autumn colors .. 

Thank you for visiting Meticulosity again !! Celeste and I will be back to help you with some Autumn inspiration next month. Until then, Stay Creative !!
