Dies R Us: But first...coffee!

But first...coffee!

Good morning Dies R Us friends!

Vicki here with your Monday morning "cuppa inspiration".

Starting the day with a cup of coffee is always on my agenda. It's only that one cup that I need and if I don't have the opportunity to have it, my world is off it's axis all day long. I also drink decaf, so it's not the energy boost that I need in that cup of coffee but the quiet thinking time about the day that makes me enjoy my morning coffee...pondering what needs done while holding that cuppa hot comfort. I also have a travel mug that goes with me when I am off doing errands. This mug along with the awesome new Heartbeat die are the inspiration for my project today.

I have created sleeves for my travel mug...

Nothing like that morning cuppa to get you motivated for the day's events!

I traced three sleeves using a pattern from one I had saved in my stash of stencils.

The embellishing pieces were cut using the following dies:

EK Success Cutter Bee Borders

Frantic Stamper Heartbeat

Precious Marieke Fantastic Flowers Frame

These dies are currently in stock and available in the Dies R Us Store.

* The Spellbinders Banner die in the background is no larger available at Dies R Us.

Here's one of the finished sleeves. The edges are inked in chalk ink with the die cut embellishments layered in the center of the sleeve.

Just a fun way to brighten your day!

Thanks for stopping by to share my "cuppa inspiration". I hope I have inspired you to create with die cuts on your projects.
