Spring + Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Welcome, friends! I'm so thrilled to be joining in with Honey Bee Stamps for the Spring + Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop today. Honey Bee Stamps is a super sponsor and will be giving away a $50 gift certificate and 2 flash prizes for $25 each! 

I mixed a few different products to create my card for today. I started by stamping, coloring and die-cutting my mug from Tea Time. I then die-cut a Double Stitched Frame and attached my mug to the front. Next, I stamped, colored and die-cut the flower bouquet, from Penny the Platypus, and attached that next to my mug. I also added a few white polka dots to the tag with my white gel pen.

For my sentiment I mixed the Happy Honeycuts and Simple Sentiments and attached those below my mug. And lastly, I added a few light pink sequins to complete it!

Be sure to visit the Honey Bee Stamps blog and the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for more info on how you can enter to win one of many great prizes!

2017 Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Popping on this Tuesday morning to share a card for the 2017 Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Have you been hopping along? There is so much coffee loving inspiration, as well as many wonderful sponsors and prizes. Such a fun hop to join in on!

As much as I love coffee ... and that's A LOT ... my card for today is all about TEA!

I used the Cup of Wishes set from Mama Elephant and created a pretty stack of floral tea cups, using the masking technique. The sentiment is from the Right At Home stamp set, How Have You Bean? I added a strip of chevron patterned paper along the right side and a bit of white twine before attaching it all to my card front with dimensional foam.

And last but not least came the sequins!

Thanks for visiting with me today. Happy creating!

Fall 2016 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Autumn Blessings

Happy Friday and happy fall, crafty friends! I've been so looking forward to the start of the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and am so excited that it's here. Fall + coffee + stamping...can't think of a better way to end my week! 

For my card today I used the Coffee Helps stamp set from Verve Stamps. This is the first time I inked it up and I already know this will be the first of many cards I make with it. It's so sweet and all of those coffee images and sayings are perfect for any time of year!

Working with a crisp, white card base, I started by stamping my sentiment, 'Autumn Blessings'. Next came all of those pretty floral coffee cups...my favorite cup in the set. :) I randomly stamped them around my sentiment and then began coloring them in with my Copics. 

After all of my cups were colored, I added a strip of pink card-stock along the top that was stamped using one of the stitched lines in the Sew Simple Borders Mini set from Papertrey Ink.

Along the left side of my card, I die cut two pieces of card-stock, using the First Place die collection from Papertrey Ink, and attached those along with a pretty pink button. And for the final touch, I rounded the bottom right corner with a corner rounder punch.

Thank you for taking the time to visit with me. I hope you enjoyed!

Wishing you a happy, hopping day! :)

2016 Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 

Happy Friday, crafty + coffee loving friends! I can't think of a better way to end the week than sipping on a hot cup of coffee while hopping in the 2016 Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Today, I am joining in with dozens of other crafters to share projects inspired by something most of us can't live without...coffee! I'm so excited to hop along and see all of your inspiring creations.

 For my project, I used this sweet Mama Elephant set, Cup of Wishes!

 

 

I started by stamping the mugs onto my card-stock and then added the polka dots. Who doesn't love a cute polka dot mug? I don't have the coordinating die (on my wish list), so I ended up cutting them out by hand. I knew the tiny flower in the set would be the perfect accent to the simple card set I wanted to create. After stamping them in black ink, I pulled out a few of my Copic markers and colored them in, and again cut them out by hand.

After stamping my sentiment onto white card-stock, I adhered my mugs just underneath to create a sweet and simple set of 3 cards. I know a few special ladies who would love to receive one of these! :)

 There are many wonderful sponsors participating in the hop. Here's a peek at the prize I'm offering...
 

 

A box filled with a whole lot of happy from my shop. For your chance to win this, or one of the other amazing prizes, be sure to create a coffee/tea themed project of your own and link it up on the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Post right >>>> HERE!

2015 Winter/Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello, crafty friends! Welcome to the 2015 Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I do love my coffee and am super excited to be participating in the holiday hop this year. 

Today, I am sharing a card I created using the Cool Day stamp set, from My Favorite Things. 

I started with a simple white card base and stamped the cute little mugs randomly on the front. Using the Copic markers you see in the photo, I colored each of the mugs in. It's been quite awhile since I've colored anything...probably not the best coloring job, but it sure was fun. Next, I stamped the hearts and snowflakes inside some of the mugs. To complete my card, I die cut a banner from Papertrey Ink's Double-Ended Banners die and stamped the MFT sentiment. And lastly, I added a Pure Poppy button.

I hope you have fun hopping along today. Be sure to check out all of the details on the Coffee Lover's Blog. There are so many wonderful sponsors and prizes to be won...including one from me. Someone will win a $25 gift certificate to my little shop. Have fun and happy hopping!
