Enough hop talk. Let me show you what I’ve got!
Just played to play when I made this card. I used the stitched circle die to make the cross stitch panel. Then I used the new Embroidery Hoop dies with it to frame the circle. I did place a solid circle of black cardstock behind it so one could see the stamped and stitched coffee cup design.
The coffee cup was stamped with the new In Stitches stamp set. Then I used embroidery floss to stitch over the pattern. Took quite awhile for me (a non-stitcher) but it was awfully fun to do!
By the way, you might be wondering about the words. I stamped those bad boys with the Cyber Cafe stamp set. Such a fun one.
Alright! That’s all I have for you for now. Be back again later, gators. Thanks, as always, for stopping by!
A bit of this. A bit of that. 
Like the pretty cross stitch cup. I have not cross stitched in a long time. You did a good job. Like the wood grain look of the hoop die.

LOL, great card, Teri! (Now i’m off to go grab another cuppa joe and get buzzed…) 😀
Love this stitching. Looking forward to this new release.
Great card! Outlining the cup adds that little bit extra. Good idea to use the black background it makes the cup pop and the pink plaid ties it all together perfectly.
Great great card, especially the stitched cup if you are a non stitcher, you’ve done it so neat no one would have known if you didn’t say, but thanks for honesty. The sentiment is cool, my boys would go with that kind of statement.
Awesome card! Love the stitching and the cup 🙂

I really love the card! Love an idea that you can stamp first and then cross stitch!
I am a cross stitcher, this would be a great set to have! 🙂
I love the hoop has grains! I used to be an avid cross stitcher, like 8 hrs a day. Background paper is a perfect match to this design on the front!
“Quite a while” was also my experience with my first stitching on a card project. But the results are fabulous. Thanks for the inspiration.
Shared on Facebook.
Wonderful stitching and fun sentiment.
I posted on FB about the hop and release!
So cute with the stitching and the gingham background.
great design!

Such a great card with happy colors and a charming image! I love how you outlined the mug in black for additional dimension and added the black behind the cardstock to make the image even more visible.
Perfect card for a cold winter day!
