Cup of Kindness for Color Hues

 The well-known song says, "we'll take a cup of kindness yet.... for Auld Lang Syne" As I am typing my first post of the year, I will wish you special gifts of health and happiness for 2024.  Welcome to our first duo at Color Hues!  Marcia has chosen Light Blue and Navy for us. 


I couldn't wait to use the new stamps and dies from Concord & 9th called Cup of Kindness that features the cutest shapes and sentiments for coffee cups. 



I love the floral mini patterns that can be printed on the cups. Neutrals are also OK to add to your projects including kraft, gray, cream, white or black.

My favorite sentiment is the Thank You checklist. Here's how it looks on the inside of my card. I grabbed a stenciled background from my already-done file that was a good fit with the colors and theme. 



Please be sure to check out the fabulous designs from the team. 


We hope you're ready to get crafting again! Please join us to play along. The challenge will last for two weeks. Thanks so very much for your visits and kind words. 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 
               Make something beautiful!  

Adding this to Darnelle's wonderful challenge at NBUS.

What a great card! I, too, love the patterns and the sentiments. I just recently purchased a couple C&9th bundles, but missed seeing this one. What I particularly like about it is its versatility. I love the stencil on the inside, too. Happy New Year!

Such a fun card Cindy, those guys at Concord and 9th have some fab sets and you've made a fab card with this set. I'm sorry but I'm a cup'o tea girl myself, coffee is definitely for after dinner. :) Here's to a happy and healthy New Year. :)

And Happy New Year and a cup o' kindness back to you, Cindy! Your lovely cuppa is a great way to start 2024 in shades of blue and patterns, too! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

I am a huge coffee lover so this card is just darling. The card is so well-balanced and I love the pop of floral. The inside sentiment is just perfect too! Awesome job with the colors and Happy New Year to you!

AWESOME card Cindy...I'm especially loving the cup with the florals on it and thinking how sweet it would be filled with some hot cocoa! (sorry, not a coffee lover...tastes like hot dirt to me! Haha) I love the inside checklist sentiment too! Sweet, sweet card my friend and a very Happy New Year to you!! Hugs. :0)

I love that you featured two cups on the front!!! And the inside is super fun as well!

I love coffee and coffee themed cards, so your card jumped right out at me! Love the flower pattern on the one cup and I couldn't agree more about that sentiment inside, it is sooo sweet! Happy New Year to you, Cindy!

I don't have your email so I'm hoping you regularly check your comments. We arrived home today to your absolutely gorgeous Christmas card! As my husband went through the cards we received, he pulled yours out for special recognition. It's so beautifully watercolored, and I love the gold die cut sentinment. It's a keeper--and will come out to be viewed again next year! Many Thanks!

Your coffee cups are absolutely delightful! I love all things Concord & 9th and, even though I have quite the collection, this set isn't among them. I may need to change that after seeing what you've done. Love it!
