Coffee Lover Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025 - Brew in Hand Big Plans Ahead

Hey guys, I am still making cards for the Fall Winter Blog hop.  Wowsa, this year I am really killing it with these coffee themed cards❗️  If you haven't ever participated or you need some amazing inspiration from DT's, Super Sponsors (lots of giveaways) or just all of us who love coffee themed anything, click on the link to find out how to join us this year.  It runs from November 7th - 14th (2025).

I'm here with a new card featuring some amazing La La Land Crafts stamps and papers.  If you haven't heard about La La Land Crafts you are missing out❗️  Here is a link to all of their website. 

I started out with the La La Land Crafts 6x6 paper pack called IN THE CITY.  It is GORGEOUS and thick and did I say GORGEOUS? I love the scene on this one and the colors.  Since 2 sheets of the same scene come in each pack I used up both of them.  One I used as my base and the other one I used a fancy bracket die cut...I do like the look of a pop up on part of the paper that blends but still has a great demential effect.  I made sure to glue it to match up with the base paper.  

I then took my Marci Coffee rubber stamp (sorry guys, it's part of their monthly club and isn't offered any other time that I know of) and I stamped her with some Momento black ink before using my Copic and Spectrum Noir markers to color and blend her in.  I'm not mad at the way she turned out but can I just say that the DT over on LaLaLand Crafts are PHENOMENAL at blending and well you will just have to go check them out.  I'm blown away and not sure I will ever be at that level...but again, not mad at her.

After I finished coloring and blending I fussy cut her out and added some foam tape to half of her and the other half was adhered to the popped out part of the bracket die.

I then reached into another coffee stamp set I got from LLLC, again part of that monthly kit so not available solo, and stamped the sentiment BREW IN HAND BIG PLANS AHEAD. I stamped it on a 4x6 K & COMPANY paper pad that I am in LOVE with called SOLID MAT (scooped 2 of them up at my Ollies which bought out some of Joann's stock when they went out of business and the price is STUPID CRAZY).

Inside of the card I used a paper pad from Hobby Lobby that had the color I felt matched pretty good.  I then used the rest of that LLLC paper and glued it over top of the 6x6 paper from Hobby Lobby...guys this stuff is so beautiful that I didn't want to waste any of it.  

I then cut one of the fancy brackets (the largest one) and used some SALTWATER TAFFY distressed oxide to get the color I wanted and I glued it down.  I then had the rest of that paper left after cutting the fancy bracket for the front of the card and decided not to waste that either.  It brought the scene inside the card and I loved that look❗️ Using the smaller solid fancy bracket (why yes, yes they are a nesting die set) I stamped the sentiment that I had from Brass and Bliss called ALL YOU NEED IS COFFEE on top of the die.

Well, that's it...this is a bigger card than I usually make so I will need to make an envelope for it but I don't mind because I am definitely not mad at the way this turned out.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me for some more coffee loving cards.  Don't forget to head over to the blog and leave some love, get inspired and try hoping along with us this year.

I hope your day is fueled by coffee and love.
