Let’s check out a couple of cards I made with this collection. I made sure to use the new ink color so look closely! My first card is all about coffee, of course! LOL!  The Perfect Blend stamp set is an adorable coffee stamp set (also has coordinating dies).  Using Catherine Pooler ink on her Sand Dunes cardstock is so pretty!

I love the images in the set that you can add to the coffee cups!! 🙂

My next card features the WOO HOO stamp set!!! I stamped the sentiment in a bunch of different colors (obviously, lol) and then applied a thick coating of Glass Bead Glitter Gel over the top to create my own sparkly patterned paper….
