Happiness is...Coffee and So Suzy Stamps

Hey everyone - it's the first of the month, which means a new challenge at So Suzy Stamps! This month we're showcasing the Happiness is... line of stamps. I love how versatile they are, and I, of course, had to start with my favorites:

Anyone surprised? No? Didn't think so...LOL I created the card background by stamping the Coffee sentiment with the Hero Arts Brown Ombre ink - totally looks like coffee! And on the inside:

After all, the best stories happen when there's coffee involved. ;) I added the Liquid Pearls to tie in my ink colors and to jazz up the ivory cardstock a bit. On the front I heat embossed the Happiness is... in white ink and made a little thread nest. A small scattering of some Glossy Accents and this card was done.

I can't wait to see what you make with the Happiness is... stamps! Be sure to head on over to the So Suzy Stamps blog to see what the rest of the team came up with.

May All Your Fishes Come True

I'm linking my Holiday Wishes card up to - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Get in Shape and the Monday Challenge, Anything Goes (the penguin card was from over a week ago, I just forgot to share it here!)

I'm also in the process of editing a video tutorial for the Holiday Wishes card, so be sure you're subscribed to my YouTube channel.

I've added some new items to my Etsy shop as well. As you may have seen on Instagram and/or Facebook, I'm really struggling with it lately and welcome any ideas, constructive criticism, and, well, customers! LOL
