Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025

Hey guys, I'm here hopping along with this years Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog hop.  Here is a link to find all the info and how to hop along with everyone.

Here is my 3rd Coffee Card and I decided to try something I've been trying to figure out how to do for a while.  Have you ever seen a card that looks like it's popped out with the same image but in different dimensions?  I really don't know how it's done but I gave it a shot, you can tell me in the comments if you think I got it right or if I'm close.  

I started off with a paper pad from the awesome Brass & Bliss company.  I discovered them (I actually won a gift card on one the the Coffee Lover's Blog hops) and have been buying from them ever since!  

They have some of the most fabulous stamps and dies ever and their paper pads are amazing!  The one I'm using is called Java Good Time.  I used 2 different papers, one for the card front and the other to die cut.

I cut the base down to an A2 card size and then I took my new dies from Whimsy stamps (oh I really have to say this is one of my most FAVORITE stores) This die is called  STAINED GLASS WINDOW and it was on CLEARANCE for $5 so YES PLEASE!  I used ALL the dies at the same time and die cut the patterned paper.  I then adhered the first 2 to my card front, then I used foam tape strips to pop up the next two and then the last two I adhered directly to the card front.  It gives it a dimensional look but still not quite what I was going for but I'm not mad at it.

I then reached for my stamp and dies from Brass & Bliss...how cute is that sloth?  

I used some Copic and Spectrum Noir markers to color and shade in the image.  I also grabbed a coffee stamp from another stamp set from Brass & Bliss and stamped the sentiment.

I added some foam tape behind the middle of the image so it adheres to the card front as well as the pattern paper.  I added some bling to the top and some in the middle but I was going for a steamy kind of flow...not sure that really worked out but they were down and, yeap, not mad at it!

That's it, this one was pretty quick and I do like the dimension of the dies that still show the patterns where they are suppose to be.  What do you think?

Thanks for hanging out with me for this hop and I hope to see you hopping along with us!

Have a crafty day!
