Today I’m sharing another fabulous sentiment from Quietfire Design called Find Yourself a Cup. I have to admit it, I love images and pretty things, but probably spend the most time searching for the words that go on the card. It’s all about the words and hoping they will hit a home run with the recipient – why else would we stand in the card section for hours reading the insides of cards. (That was in the days that we sent store bought cards, right?) Sentiments used to be relegated to the inside of the card but I always thought that if you have something beautiful to say, flash it on the outside. Most of the cards that I make are blank on the inside and I love having something thoughtful on the outside to grab your attention.
How about that fine line of gold leaf that follows the rim of the Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large paired with the Spellbinders Petite Ovals Small? It’s my favorite element du jour! Rather than describe how I put this together, there is a step by step tutorial on how I did this card HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today. What’s in store? A mega Christmas blog hop is going on with JustRite Stamps that kicks off on Monday, August 17th at 8:00am. Come see the newest releases!
Just beautiful Becca, I leave my cards blank on the inside too. I write my note on the inside. So I agree that the message should really grab the persons interest. I have my coffee ready and I’m going to check out your tutorial. TFS!!!
Gorgeous!
What a wonderful card. It is so stylish and I adore the sentinment
Love your tea cup card-like the tea cups in the background and your sentiment-neat card.
Becca,
Stunning card. Love your tutorial as well.

You always make such beautiful cards, Becca and the tutorial is great, too. Thanks so much for always sharing with us!
Beautiful! And wonderful tutorial as well. You have such a way with words, it is not at all surprising that you are drawn to such beautiful sentiment stamps.

This is lovely, right to left, top to bottom — beautiful!
This is just beautiful Becca. It perfectly reflects the the gentle thought of sharing a cup with someone, who cares enough to want to hear your hundreds of things.
Good evening, Becca- such a beautiful card and thank you for the tutorial. I have used gold leaf in the past but it has been gathering a little dust. Perhaps I will dust it down and use it again, thanks to you.
Becca,
What a pretty card! So elegant, I love teacups on cards. Short and sweet today, I am so tired. School starts tomorrow…Yeah!!!!
