Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025 - May your Coffee be stronger than anything you face today

Hey guys, I'm here with card #6 for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop for 2025.  If you have never participated here is a link to find out how and a link to all of the Super Sponsors that usually have some pretty good deals going on for this hop!

Today I'm working with one of my favorite AALL & Create Stamps of Miss Dee.  This one is Stamp #704 and she comes with some pretty snarky sayings.  For this card I didn't use any of her sayings but I paired it with a Coffee Stamp set from Brass & Bliss that has a couple of snarky sentiments as well so they were a perfect fit.

I started out stamping Miss Dee and coloring her in with my Spectrum Noir markers, I was trying to match the pattern paper I used from my scraps and I think I nailed it.  I set her aside once I was done and started working on the rest of the card.

For the Base I used a paper from Craft Consortium called Metal Textures and backed it with a metallic copper card stock I had.  I cut the copper card stock to an A2 size and then the CC paper an 1/8 of an inch smaller and adhered them down.  I then took some cream color textured card stock (sadly I was out of the copper metallic paper) and cut it about a 1/2" smaller than the A2 size. I reached into my scraps and used that pattern paper I had (last piece of that) cutting it down about a 1/8" smaller than the textured card stock and adhered theme together.  I backed it on some thick foam tape and adhered it to the card base.

I forgot to stamp my card before doing all of that but it worked out because that thick foam tape really lets the stamp soak into that paper so it worked out with me stamping it after the fact.  

I added that tiny coffee cup...I have had that die for-EVER and couldn't tell you where I got it but it has a bunch of Fall icons (think pumpkin, pie, coffee, leaves) that are all on one die and so tiny.  I think it's to use for shaker cards but I don't do many of them and almost forgot I had it but glad I remembered because it was perfect for this card.

I used more paper from that Craft Consortium paper pack to line the inside of the card. I then cut 2 squares (3x3 and one slightly smaller than that) and adhered them together and then used the 2nd part of that sentiment.  I thought about putting it on the front but I thought it went better inside.  I used the last of that scrap from the front of the card to tie it all in and I am done!  I do love Miss Dee and her snarky self!

Thanks for hanging out with me during the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop!

Have a crafty day,
