    February 13, 2026 / 1 Comment

    Hello, crafty friend! I’m Adrienne Boese, better known online as Alice Scraps Wonderland. Today we are going to play with the Rosie’s Studio Breakfast in Bed collection.

I’m sharing three cards featuring the Happier Hour Collection with you today! We are traveling to Mexico in December, so the Sip Sip Ole’ Etched Die Set really spoke to me!

For the outline of the glass, I used matte silver cardstock from the Treasured Antique Silver cardstock pack, and for the salt, I used the glitter cardstock from the same pack. The colors of…
