SPS Blog Hop - Love You A Latte! *Giveaway Alert*

Welcome to the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop! You should have gotten here from Dorcas' blog! She's a newbie to the team and we "old gals" are SOOO excited about the new gals! So please make sure you have stopped by everyone's blogs to say "hello"! :) 

I could not be MORE THRILLED to represent Shop Pumpkin Spice for another year!!! I love her prices, her product, her constant attempt to keep the shipping rates to a minimum and now....... her KITS!!! Yes, you read right, Shop Pumpkin Spice is now creating monthly kits! The first one is only  $15.95!!! Check it out below or click on the link HERE to take you directly to the buying page! woot woot! :) Am I getting one? Yes, yes I am. 

We designers can't buy them until it goes live tonight with the hop so you better not buy them all so that they are sold out when I wake up tomorrow California time! I'll be pointing fingers! ;) 

Here is the project I made for the hop. It was supposed to be "your style" and while I was tempted to do a shaped card, this is still very me. :) 

Recipe:

• Cricut Cartridge: Love You A Latte™
• D-stress tool by Imaginisce™ (plus inking tip)
• Patterned Paper:
• Bo Bunny Double Dot in Coffee™(dark brown dot)
• My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Two: Blush "Better" Blossom Paper™(light pink background paper)
• My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Two: Blush "Princess" Pintuck Paper™(white and cream polka dot)
• My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Two: Blush "Princess" Special Paper™ (kraft background for "love you a latte" and pink houndstooth (so both sides of the paper were used))
• Solid Paper: Bazzill Kraft Cardstock™
• Button: My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Two: Blush "Better" Buttons™
• Ink: Momento in Rich Cocoa™ (It will be in stock at SPS soon!!!)
• White Gel Pen
• ATG gun and tape
• Crinkled Ribbon from Kris Swain's Etsy Store in Sage
• Glue Arts Mini Adhesive Squares in Perma-Tac ™(for the button to stick)
• Colored Foam Tape from Imaginisce in White™

*Designer's Tip: It is REALLY hard to get a sponge or something else in the cracks and crevices of the letters. I used my inking tip for the d-stress tool by Imaginisce (the inking tip unfortunately ONLY comes in the carrying cases for the d-stress and SPS does not carry the cases, but they DO carry the d-stress tool. You can find the cases at your big chain scrapbook stores.) It attaches to the end of the d-stress. You turn the d-stress on so that it spins and just dip it in the ink and ink wherever you want with a spinning head! IN person the inking is a LOT more even, but because of the photo it picks up some of the darker spots and highlights them. Oh well! :) *
