2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It's my favorite season of the year--a Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Shanna Slater
designed the most perfect logo with a Spring/Summer theme. I LOVE the little
cactus in the polka dot teacup--it's just too cute!

I made a quick shaped card using the Sizzix Mug die and Altenew's wide washi tape.

The beauty of washi tape is that it sticks to card stock. I adhered a piece to white

card stock before die cutting the mug and handle.

The "coffee" inside the cup was cut and colored in with Copic markers then adhered
to the top of the mug. The sentiment was stamped on an oval piece and I added a small

pink heart. The piece was adhered to the mug.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the hop! Caffeinated hugs to Amy and

her brew crew for a job well done on another successful hop!

Sending Warm & Cozy Hugs

I managed to make another card for the Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

This time, I paired Concord & 9th and Lawn Fawn products.
 

I stamped one of the hipster girls on kraft card stock and did minimal coloring

and highlights with colored pencils and a white pigment pen. In keeping with

the coffee theme, I added a to-go cup with a mitten over the image.

I'm wondering if I can possibly squeeze in another card?

Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies used:

Concord & 9th Winter Wear Bundle

Lawn Fawn Love You a Latté Stamp and Die (coffee cup) 

Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It's time! Amy and her crew have once again put together the caffeine infused hop
that we all look forward to with an amazing sponsor list that just keeps growing!

I must have felt the vibes of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop because I made
this card in mid-October using some Lil' Inkers products for the very first time.

 I white embossed the sentiment on the cup before ink distressing it. I made a square

card and was trying to go for a chalkboard look. In hindsight, I shouldn't have spattered

it so much--it looks more like a nighttime sky.

I'm hoping to share a couple more caffeinated cards before the 7th....you, too?
Thanks for stopping by!

2018 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I may be the last (or nearly the last!) entry for the 2018 Spring/Summer 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I just couldn't miss all the caffeinated fun! 

I found a piece of alcohol ink background and cut the cover and sleeve and ran the

sleeve thru a corrugator. I assembled the cup, adhered it to a panel and stamped

the sentiment. Pink and cream confetti finished off the card.

 Thanks again, Amy, and your fantastic crew for putting together another 

successful hop!

Tag You're It #79 and (Belated) Happy National Cocoa Day

I'm squeezing in a tag Tag You're It Challenge #79 and the Winter 2017

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop for National Cocoa Day.

Here's the inspiration tag from guest designer Leigh.

Sadly, this is the last challenge for Tag You're It, after 3-1/2 years of 

wonderful tag inspiration. I just had to join the last challenge and here's my tag.

A mug was inked with Cracked Pistachio Distress ink and adhered to a tag.
I adhered a snowflake on the mug, and the "cocoa" and whipped cream.
The sentiment was stamped on the tag with brown ink and I added some
"snow" with Distress Stickles.

I'm also linking this to the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (belatedly) for
National Cocoa Day which was yesterday, December 13th.

Yep, "Hawaiian time"--that's me!

Thanks for stopping by.

2017 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Giveaway!

It's time for the winter edition of our favorite blog hop--the 2017 Winter

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I believe I missed the last hop--too much traveling!--

but I loved seeing all the coffee, tea, and cocoa inspiration and I managed

to put together a card for this season.

I colored up the Cozy Lady by Brandi Kincaid for Ellen Hutson and decided to
mask off a bunch of take out coffee cups for her to hold. Looks a little dangerous,
I agree, and when I shared a pic on Instagram, some folks offered to help her
hold some! (Thanks, Ivy!)

* * *

And in honor of the hop, I have a small giveaway of coffee related goodies
for one lucky commenter. These are duplicates that I bought and what better
time to share them than with coffee lovin' friends.

(Prize package includes: Lawn Fawn Pumpkin Spice and matching Lawn Cuts, 
Unity Stamps Fall to Go, Neat and Tangled Warm Wishes and Doodlebug Designs
  Latte Love Shape Sprinkles)

Just tell me if you're a coffee, tea, or cocoa lover--or all three! The deadline
to comment is the last day of the hop, December 15th, and I'll announce the
winner a few days after that. One comment per person, please! 😘

I just realized that my card has more of a "fall" theme than a winter one,
probably because I colored her before Thanksgiving. Oopsie!

I'm off to peruse the entries! Big thanks to Amy and her crew for another
successful hop that brings us together, one cup at a time! 🍵☕

(Note: Comments are closed, thank you for stopping by during the hop!)

Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It's time for the Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Summer is my favorite season because of all the cold beverages we consume,
 which probably helped me attain my Gold Card status at STARBUCKS® 😋

My card features three of my favorite drinks: Iced coffee, Matcha
Frappuccino, and a Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino.

Three of  MFT's Cool Cups were ink distressed and spattered with water for the
"frosty" look. I adhered a piece of patterned paper and tucked in the straws.
The sentiment was white embossed on a strip of vellum and adhered to the card.

Huge thanks to Amy and her helpers for coordinating another successful hop!
I feel a record breaking number of entries this time--you too?
Thanks for stopping by and let's enjoy all of the wonderful inspiration!

Spring 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It's that time of year--the Spring 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

I'm super excited because I'm having a giveaway! First, here's my card.

I die cut Paper Smooches take out coffee cup from watercolor card stock and
before ink distressing, taped the back side of the cup to keep the pieces intact.
The heart was die cut from the coffee sleeve portion of the cup, ink distressed,
then popped back in the space.

I paired the image with some striped patterned paper and the curved

sentiment from Simon Says Stamp. A few sprinkled coffee beans finished

off the card. Don't you just love that sentiment? It's so true.

* * *

And now for the giveaway! Do you like the Cozy Coffee die set that I used 
on my card? It's super cute and I love the coffee beans in the set.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, telling me if you are a  
coffee, tea, or cocoa lover--or all three! I'll add a few extra goodies to sweeten 
the giveaway. One comment per person, please, and international friends 
are welcome to enter.

The deadline to comment is Friday, March 31st at 11:59PM HST.

I'll announce the random winner a few days after the hop ends.

Big thanks to Amy and her helpers for coordinating another successful hop,

and thanks for stopping by!

2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with Tea

Happy International Tea Day! I couldn't let this day go by without sharing

a second card for the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, especially when it

involves tea. I had an abundance of colored teacups and teapots in my stash
of diecuts that made for a super quick card.

I stamped a Natural card base with Balloon Strings in Versamark, then

arranged five stacked teacups over it. The sentiment was white embossed

and the card was done.

 So happy to be celebrating with tea on this hop! Thanks for stopping by!
