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!

 Happy hopping, friends!

National Craft Month Celebration Blog Hop

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the National Craft Month Celebration Blog Hop. Today, I am joining in to help celebrate a month dedicated to something we all enjoy so much... crafting. Before we get started, be sure to stop by the Right at Home blog to read all of the details on this fun hop. There are lots of amazing crafters and sponsors joining in...you won't want to miss any of the fun!

 

I'm sharing a sweet and simple card today using a few 'new to me' products that I have quickly fallen in love with. Concord & 9th is a new favorite of mine. I used their Beautiful Words stamp set mixed with the Floral & Flutter die for my card today.

I did a bit of water-coloring on the butterflies, created a border along the edges with the row of tiny hearts, and added a few Clear Droplets, from Pretty Pink Posh, along the bottom to complete my card. 

The next person in the hop today is:

Denami Design
