I loved coloring the beautiful flowers on this stamp
Using two different pieces of cardstock, and changing up the main flower color, gave me exactly what I wanted.
The die set, comes with two word dies, too. 
Thanks, and Tea
Here's a link to  A Cup Of Thanks, Dies
I love that this die cuts the space in the handle.
It was VERY easy to line the die up, before cutting.
Plenty of room around the image too! I LOVE that!!




Studio Katia sells the most 
beautiful embellishments, too! 
I am kind of a sequins snob, 
and their sequins and jeweled crystals are so
 beautiful that I want them all!
 I used Gold sparkle crystals, and Sunny Topaz ..below is a link
and 


Both of my cards we very easy to make, and will be mailed out Monday!
That's it for me  :)

CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!!


My card this month is by...yep, Unity Stamp Co!
***SHOCKER***
It seems like I am always reaching for their stamps. Probably because they are always releasing new ones, and I am a member of their Kit of the Month..
This stamp set is not new though. But, it's seasonal, so it's like "new to me" each year
Joy To Go << Link 
I love it! Keeping this card simple, all I did was stamp the image and sentiment 
with Iridescent Ice holographic embossing powder from Stampin' UP!
Any brand will give you the same effect 
I'm pretty bummed that my snowflakes look like dirty smudges, though.. :( 
well, that's it for me this time!!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! 

Inky Hugs, Robyn


My teamie Kathy posted all her cards from the hop, and I thought I'd do the same! 
Thanks for looking. I posted these to Instagram
