Sticker Tips

Tip of the day ........

When designing a layout cut the stickers close to their line and then you can arrange and rearrange them until you have their correct placement and then peel off the backing and attach them 😊

I love this card with it’s pretty flowers. Change the color of the ink and you get a totally different look 😍. Which color is your favorite ?

Coffee??? Yes please !! Fun shaker card

Yes those are coffee grounds in the card!  I had this idea in my head when i first got my hands on this set and a friend had the same idea and created a card a couple of weeks ago - this is my version.
The band around the cup is one of the stickers from the paper suite and I stamped the cup rings in pairs.
And yes - it smells amazing 😉 #ctmh #legaciesoflove #createalifeyoulove #coffee #girlboss #cardmaking #hawthorne #joinmyteam #perkup #bestsmellever
