Daily Cup

Hey guys, thanks so much for joining me today.  I'm up on the blog doing another card for Day 6 of the Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024.

I'm so happy to say most of this was from my, laying on my table for months stash!  I LOVE when I can use up stuff that has been laying around for months...that being said I really need to start putting stuff away more.

I started out with a black card stock for the mat and then grabbed a cream colored textured piece of card stock out of my scraps stash to use as the base and the coffee sleeve.

I found this doily that has been sitting on my desk for months and used some walnut stain distressed oxide on it.  I also found those flowers I cut last year and thought they would be great to layer on to the doily.  I added some 1/2 pearls from Kat Scrappiness to complete them.  

I used my favorite coffee die from AlteNew (boy that thing is getting a work out this month) and die cut a paper from, yeap, my favorite 6x6 paper pad from Brass and Bliss called JAVE GOOD DAY!  At this rate I will have gone through that entire pack...good thing I bought 2 of them!  I also die cut the straw from the same die set as the to go cup from AlteNew (FRIENDS FOREVER) and I popped both the straw and the to go cup on foam to give them some dimension.

I had this whip cream die from one of my coffee die sets and well it wasn't quite big enough to cover the entire cup so I die cut 2 of them, used some cloud whip with a few drops from my glitter pen from SBC and once it dried I added some more of the glitter pen for some added sparkle.

I stamped the sleeve with the sentiment and then inked the sleeve, adhered it to the cup, added a strip of news print paper that was in my trash bin...I mean we really don't throw scraps away do we...and called it done.

Well, that completes my card for the Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter blog hop 2024.  I here is a link if you want to hop along and for those of you who don't know how to link up, here is a link to one of my blogs explaining how.

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024 ~ Friends Keep Your Heart Warm

 Hey guys, I'm here on Day 6 of the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024 with FRIENDS KEEP YOUR HEART WARM...I just love that sentiment don't you?  I started off with some fabulous paper from Brass and Bliss called JAVA GOOD TIME, it's a must have paper pack if you are into coffee themed cards!

I backed one of the papers behind this really cute heart pattern paper to frame it, then I took a light brown textured card stock ran it through my die cutting machine with a super cute 3D heart embossing folder and backed it in black to give it a bit of a frame.  I used my AlteNew die for the to go cup from the Friends Forever collection and used more of the papers from that awesome JAVA GOOD TIME paper pad for the lid and the coffee cup itself...it's that paper gorgeous!  I also used the dies to make the "steam" coming from the coffee lid (still using some of that paper from that JAVA paper pad).  Before adhering it down I took my VERSA MAGIC archival chalk ink pad (in Cloud White) and skimmed it across the hearts so it gives it a bit of dimension.

I popped the to go cup up on foam adhesive, stamped the sentiment (Crafter's Companion - SWEET LIKE CHOCOLATE) and cut it out with one of my stitched circle dies and done!  This would be a great card to send out to a friend in February I think, what about you?

If you want to join in the hop here is the link along with a link to my other blog showing how to Link Up.  There are lots of GREAT inspiration AND lots of prizes to be had!  Hope to see you over there.

Wishing You Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice - Day 5 of the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024

 Hey guys, I'm up on my blog again with another card I made for day 5 of the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024.  Here is a link to the hop if you want to participate, and here is a link to the directions on how to link up to the hop just in case you need a little help with that (I know the first year I was just lost).

The card I made definitely has a lot of Fall vibes to it.  I am loving the stamp I got from Miss Ink Stamps, and they happen to be one of the SUPER SPONSORS of this blog hop!

After stamping the image, I colored it in using my Spectrum Noir markers, I am still learning but I'm not mad at it.  After I finished coloring and shading I let it dry and added some Wild Honey and Gathered Twigs Distressed Oxides to the background.  

I added some half pearls and then adhered it to the JAVA GOOD TIME 6x6 paper pad from Brass and Bliss (this is starting to become one of my fav 6x6 paper pads!

Well that wraps it up for me today, I hope to see you hopping along with the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024!

Day 5 of the Coffee Lovers FALL/WINTER Blog Hop 2024 - YOU ARE BREW-TIFUL

Hey guys, I'm up on my blog on day 5 of the  Coffee Lovers FALL/WINTER Blog Hop 2024 and a new card.  This hop is so fun and has been going for 10 YEARS!!  There are all kinds of sponsors with lots of prizes, so I hope you join in on the fun!

Today I made a card using a flower stamp and die set from Close To My Heart (I was so sad to see them close their doors) and colored it in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  

I also used one of my fav to go cup dies from AlteNew FRIENDS FOREVER collection.  This is a great size coffee tumbler!  

I embossed the cup with a 3D Embossing folders, I cut the sleeve and lid out of paper from the JAVA GOOD TIME from Brass and Bliss and popped them up on foam tape.  

I blended the background with WILD HONEY and SQUEEZED LEMONADE distressed oxides. I also stamped the sentiment using a great coffee stamp set from Brass and Bliss called LETS MEET FOR COFFEE (a must have if you are into coffee loving cards)  I added some enamel dots that have been in my stash for a LONG time (love when I can use old stash up) and then I distressed the edges of the card, adhered it to black card stock and that's it.  Easy peasy!

If you need directions on how to LINK UP here is my blog about that.  I hope you can join in on the fun this year and help celebrate 10 YEARS of coffee tea or hot cocoa themed card goodness, I mean there is SO much inspiration!

Thanks for joining me!
