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.

Thanks for stopping by,
