When looking at craft blogs, magazines and Pinterest, you see “Keep Calm and ….” projects everywhere. The saying is so trendy and fun. Best of all it can be adapted to every occasion. When I saw my new stamps from Pumpkin Spice, I was excited to see this stamp. I thought it was the perfect sentiment now that the holidays are over and we are getting back to our normal schedules.
When making my card, I used lots of goodies from the Pumpkin Spice store - BasicGrey PB&J 6x6 paper pad, Kraft Bazzill cardstock, and Cup of Tea stamps by Darcie’s Heart & Home. If you haven’t visited the Pumpkin Spice store, go check it out. I was a customer before I applied for the DT because of the great pricing, fast shipping, and wonderful customer service.
Wishing you a Happy and Creative 2013!

Oh how true this sentiment is. Nothing calms me down like a hot cup of tea. (Except a cold glass of wine) I like the way you layered this and left the stamped design peeking out at the top. Eye Catching.
