Amy created this beautiful slimline card featuring our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set. She used our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set and Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to create the layers on the card, filling the windows with patterns using our new Houndstooth Stencil and Mugs Stencil in soft shades of pink! The sentiment in the center and the girls on each side are from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set!

Tatiana combines all three new products today on this adorable card! She uses both the Houndstooth Stencil and the Mugs Stencil to create background pattern layers. Then she added on the image of the girl reading from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set, layering it over a tag that was cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. 

Samantha creates a cozy card featuring two of the lovely ladies with their books and coffee from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set. She colors them in gorgeous bright colors and layers them over a starry background that was created using our Cascading Stars Stencil. The girls are truly the stars of their stories!  

Zsofia created a cozy scene that any book lover would adore! She used the image of the girl reading with her coffee and kitty from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set. She then layered the image over a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set, adding more books along the bottom edge of the circle! For the background pattern she used the new Mugs Stencil and gave the panel a postage edge using our Framework Die Set. The sentiment gives the finishing touch, stamped on a banner that was cut out using the extra shape from our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set. 

This cheerful slimline card was created by Ellen! She used our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to cut out the colorful layers and then added two of the lovely ladies from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set on the outside circles. For the center circle she added in the sentiment along with some more books and coffee! Such a fun and colorful card!

If you ever thought "the book was better" then you will love this card by Amanda! She features two scenes of ladies reading books and drinking coffee from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set, framing them with scalloped edged frames and vellum using our Framework Die Set. She added in a fun coffee mug background using our new Mugs Stencil.

This sweet book themed card by Maria would be perfect to send to a friend who loves books! She features the lady dreaming of her book while drinking coffee from the new Sips & Stories Stamp Set. She adds the image onto a tag that was cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set, adding a bow from our Pines & Holly Die Set and some stars in the background using our Starfield Stencil. The card background also features some gorgeous textured mugs created with texture paste and our new Mugs Stencil.

Andrea created a lovely vertical slimline card with the fun book and coffee theme! She used our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to cut out slimline layers, adding coffee cups to the frame layer using our new Mugs Stencil. Then she added two of the ladies with their coffee and books from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set, adding the fun sentiment in the center!

The two lovely ladies on this card by Larissa are enjoying a cozy day of reading and coffee! She colored the two images from our new Sips & Stories Stamp Set in gorgeous rainbow colors and then layered them over white floorboards. Such a fun idea! She also added rainbow colored letters to the sentiment!
