I've been struggling to get an idea into my head to create since getting home from our holiday travels. Then while straitening up my crafty space...several stamps were missing. I searched all the places they should have been and nothing. These things bother me...I can't stop wondering about it until I find a reasonable answer. It came to a head last night, I finally remembered I had put a stack of stamps in a box just to clear some room before we left for Ohio. So I was able to sleep. This morning I found the box. All is well.
After looking through some challenges, I chose these:
Inspired By Challenge Just Us Girls
My colors came from Inspired by, and to create dimension, I stamped the cup image colored the edges, then adheared another fully colored cup with foam tape over the image on the card panel. Stamp set is from CTMH (a teacup with some masking to make it a cup of cocoa), patterned paper from Stampin Up, Copic colors R17, 29, 59; E00,11 and some left over hearts from long ago.
Thanks for stopping by.

It's good that you found everything, otherwise we couldn't have admired this pretty card. Gundi
Darling little cup, Cat, and I love the hearts floating out of it!! Great shading too! I've done the same thing with stamps and dies - have a pile right now of "homeless" items. Oh well, I'll get to them someday....
So glad you found the missing stamps...it can be so annoying when that happens x. What a fabulous card and a great take on the inspiration photo. Wonderful design and sentiment too x.
been there done that!1 so annoying when you know you have a stamp or die and can't find it - glad the lost has been found. i'm gradually getting the inspiration back after being gone too. sweet card and wonderful coloring!
I love the color combo. The patterned paper really seems to focus attention on the cup and hearts in their bright red colors. Fab card.
Super cute! I love that patterned paper. Great layout. Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls this week.
I went crazy looking for a tiny little stamp once. I finally found it... but, alas, I can't remember which set it came from!!! LOL
So happy this beauty landed in our IB gallery!! Thanks, Cat!

It makes me crazy when I can't find something in my stamp room, and it does happen from time to time. I'm glad you found your box! This is really a cute card, Cat! Perfectly inspired by the challenges. Cute design. Love it!
Sweet! Love me some hot cocoa, and your card is awesome. So glad you found your missing items, that can be a real headache!
Hmmm ... been there, done that, Cat ... so pleased you found that box ... and were able to sleep! Scrumptious card ... the shading on that sweet cup of hot yumminess is fantastic! Hugs, Anita :)
Whew! Missing stamps would put me on red alert! So glad you found them safe and sound. I love your loving cup and how the hearts reflect the shape of the scallops. Gorgeous coloring on that cup!
Great way to add dimension to the card. I lose things all the time, I either decide to put something in a new place and then forget what that place is or things fall off my desk into the pile of stuff stored underneath it. Either way I usually have to tell myself to stop fretting and it will turn up. It usually does, when you no longer want it of course! xx
Wonderful card! Perfect for this time of year. I'm the same way when things go missing!
I can so relate to what you are saying about losing or misplacing things. Just this week I lost a small die-cut that goes with one of my absolute favorite flowers. Talk about upset! My hubby thought I was a little bit ridiculous! I am so glad you found yours and I pray that someday mine will show up too. I am not very optimistic though as I tore my room apart! LOL Anyways, I am loving your coffee card a lot! I would totally have that stamp set!! So happy youn joined us at Just Us Girls! Sorry for my rant!
Glad you found the stamps, Cat! That would drive me crazy, too! Wonderful card--love the design!
I'm glad you found everything because this is such a cute card! (and thank you for the lovely card :) )
I love your card so much, from the theme, to the design, to the colors, so perfect for the challenge and it was the card I chose this week from the gallery to be "inspired by" on my personal blog. Thank you for sharing your talents and inspiring to create the baby card I needed♥
