Edited to add. Always read the fine print! I just saw that we needed to use our favorite butterfly. I just went with the colors from the photo! The cut outs on the cups kinda look like butterfly wings, right? :(
Welcome to the Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop! I have two cards to share with you today,
one for fun and one for the hop. Actually I made two for the hop, but decided not to post the first one. I love this wonderful Fancy Tea Cup Die!
This card above was made using a Memory Box Stencil for the background , I just ran some chalk with a brush over the stencil. My cups were cut out of paint store swatches ( I asked permission to take them and the guy told me to take as much a s I wanted ) that was over a year ago and I found them when I was cleaning out stuff.
This is the card I made just for fun and I really like how it turned out!
I have been busy with grandkids taking turns spending time at our house, this week its : Emma, Delaney and Ava for a few days.
Have fun on the hop!

like how the handles go over the edge with the stacked teacups and your wonderful watercoloured & stamped scene
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Marybet, I like the cups. Love the colors Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteStacked cups are perfect! And uniquely you! Paint chips? Wonderful! Adore that sweet camper and your watercolors add so much texture and dimension. Love that you had grandkids with you. They are so blessed to have you as grandma!
ReplyDeleteI loved your comment about not reading the fine print...that would so be me most of the time too! But anyway, I love both of your cards...those coffee cups are so darn cute in those colors! And what a great way to use the paint chips! Great job on both cards Marybeth and have fun with all those grandkids! :0)
ReplyDeleteMarybeth...I was just thinking that I LOVE your take on the photo inspiration {I didn't catch the butterfly note either}....I LOVE your card.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! Using paint samples is inspirational.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. I'm a tea lover so I adore your teacup card.
ReplyDeleteLove that mountain scene!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card, Marybeth! I like the stacked tea cups and to be honest, I didn't read the fine print either. I just lucked out that I used butterflies. ;0) I love that you used paint chips too!! These cups are super sweet!
ReplyDeleteboth are very pretty cards, like the stapled cups
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards, Marybeth! Love those sweet tea cups stacked like that. The camping scene is adorable too. :-)
ReplyDeletePS: I have a shoe box full of paint chips from Home Depot and Lowes from way before I started my obsession with collecting colored cardstock ;-)
Two totally over the top amazing cards! I really love what you did with that wonderful tea cup, mine arrived yesterday, so thank you for the incredible inspiration! Love your sweet camping card, need to add that set to my cart now! So fun...have a blast with your grandkids!
ReplyDeleteHow clever Marybeth using paint chips! Awesome work...
ReplyDeleteMarybeth, I LOVE your terrific tea cup stack - -even without a butterfly! It's a really fresh, bright card! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just love those stacked teacups! Adorable scene card, too! Fantastic cards, Marybeth!
ReplyDeleteLove the card with the colorful stacked tea cups! And, the camping scene is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these cards. Brilliant idea to use paint chips. And, your card for fun is adorable. I cannot wait to pull that set out. I don't know what I am waiting for except a bit of time to stamp.
ReplyDeleteTwo pretty cards, Marybeth! Love those little teacups and your travel scene is so pretty! We've had visiting grandchildren too. Exhausting, but so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the inspiration photo, Marybeth! Fabulous card! And your watercolor card is fantastic, too!
ReplyDeleteI totally love your teacups and never in a million years would have thought to use paint swatches...brilliant!
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards, Marybeth! Love the teacups! That's such a great die. Can't tell you how often I intended to pick up some paint chips and then forget until I see someone use them again. Wonderful watercolored scene too--I thought I didn't really need that new set but after seeing your cards I'm second guessing that decision!
ReplyDeleteThat peeled paint stencil looks so great teamed with those gorgeous cups! And you know how much fun I think that caravan is! Love your watercoloured background!
ReplyDeleteBeautifqul cards Marybeth. Love the tea cups and your caravan. Hope your enjoying your grandkids. I got to cuddle up with two of mine yesterday. Very much needed hugs were given and taken.
ReplyDeletebeautiful watercolored scene! and yes I think the cut outs on the cups count!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool background with those yummy stacked tea cups, Marybeth ... love that fun camping scene ... another 'just my sort of place' card! Enjoy your latest grandkids' visit! Anita :)

ReplyDeleteWow!! Both of your cards are wonderful!! Love the paint chip cups!! Those are so fun and the colors so pretty! And your watercoloring on the little scene is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell, butterly or not, I've just pinned it! I love it, and I haven't used my tea cup die yet.
ReplyDeleteso COOL! Love how you used the paint swatches! Those teacups are delightful! And your second card is so neat - can't wait till I can get my hands on that stamp/die set. ;)
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards Marybeth. The cups are so pretty and elegant. That scene is perfect with the blue water colored background.
ReplyDelete1) I shouldn't have looked because now I need the teacup. 2) Gorgeous colours. 3) How did you manage to pile up the cups so perfectly?!! Such a great design.
ReplyDeleteLove those stacked cups in the bright paint chip colors! and your watercolored camping scene is wonderful! I just made a card using that fun Petite Places set - I'll be posting it on 8/4 - I also made a 3D camper - TOO fun!!! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteI particularly love your just for fun card. Watercolor gets me every time! You make it look so fresh and easy.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Marybeth. I really like your watercolor card.
ReplyDeleteStunning is the word! Love those pretty colors on the cups :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Marybeth! I have used paint chips a few times too. Your coffee cups are gorgeous my dear! And love the camping card too! Have fun with the grandkids!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are so nicely done!
ReplyDeleteJust think of it as sipping coffee while watching butterflies flutter about! I think it's a pretty card and it works for me. I KNOW you are enjoying the grandkids and there is NO spoiling going on!!
ReplyDeleteYour paintchip coffee cups are oodles of fun - and a reminder that I have paintchips *somehwere* in my collection, too. Your scene in your sweet camping card is what I see when I look out my kitchen window...you've captured the mountains beautifully!
