Basket Add-Ons Thinking of You by Paper Sweeties

Hi all, today I'm sharing a card that I made just for myself.  I needed a little crafty time this morning and I couldn't wait to use some new-to-me products by a company called Paper Sweeties. Have you heard of them?

I was recently inspired by a project made by Larissa Heskett, one of my teamies on the Newton's Nook Designs Team!  She also happens to design for Paper Sweeties and when I saw this card she made, I instantly went shopping!  So I'll share her card with you here (below), along with a link to her blog, and you can see where I got my inspiration!

So I went with the same type of black cup using PS Sweet Cuts Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Die.  Larissa used her roses from Basket Add-Ons Thinking of You as a base for the cup, which I LOVED, but I ended up filling my cup with them and liked that look as well!

I also added my little Hello sign and a heart that came in the Sweet Cuts Truck Add on Life is an Adventure Die Set

I used a stencil from Taylored Expressions called Blooming Beautiful  adding some ink to my background using Tea Dye Distress Ink over Kraft cardstock.

So as you can see, it's not a duplicated project, but I wanted to give credit for the inspiration.  I think it's great to borrow great ideas and then use what we have in our own craft rooms to create something wonderful!
