Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025 - Coffee In Hand ready to take on the day

Hey guys I'm here with another coffee themed card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2025.  It goes through the 14th of November so you still have time to head over and participate for a chance to win some great prizes from the Super Sponsors or just to get some great inspiration!  Here is a link to all the fun.

Today I'm using on of Jesica Lynn Original digi stamps.  She is an amazing artist and this one she is giving away for free just for this hop!  Head over to check out all of her great work!

After I downloaded her image and printed it out I grabbed all of my Copic markers and went to town.   I wanted to pull the blue from her eyes and create an accent for the paper colors in her cup.

I fussy cut her out and crabbed a few dies , popped one of them up on some foam tape for some dimension and well that's it.  Easy peasy and I'm not going to lie, I do like the color combos.

Items used:

Jesica Lynn Original Digi Stamp

Postage die from Scrapbook.com

Rectangle die from Scrapbook.com

Papers from K&C Co.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me today and don't forget to head over to the hop and check out all the amazing cards.

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog hop - Brewing up good vibes

Hey guys I'm here with another card for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog hop.  Here is the link to join in and have fun or just get some great inspiration from all the ladies!  

I'm using my Marci Coffee stamp for this one but decided to do a little paper doll dress up like we did when we were kids.  I stamped her on a pattern paper for her top and then stamped her again for her pains and cut both and glued her to a full stamp of her.  I used my Copic Markers on her boots, hair and skin.

I added tom scraps from my stash, a sentiment stamp from La La Land Crafts and some fall leaves I die cut and inked up and lastly a border die for the top.

Thanks for stopping buy and hanging out with me for this hop.

Have a crafty day!

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.

Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025 - Holiday Cheer

Hey guys I'm here with a Christmas themed coffee card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  Here's a link if you want to join in on all the fun now through the 14th of November.

I used my La La Land Crafts to go coffee die set and made a shaker out of the "sleeve" of the togo cup.  I also used some Christmas Tonic Studios glossed mirror papers and my tiny Varsity alpha dies to make the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with me!  Don't forget to head over to the hop and check out all of the amazing inspiration for coffee cards this year!

Happy crafting,

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025 - You Got this Girl!

Hey guys, I'm here with another coffee inspired card for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025...here is a link to all the fun!  

I am using some chipboard pieces from the I AM collection. I just wanted to show you that cards don't have to be super challenging or technical to be cute.

I had these pieces left over from a collection that was gifted to me and thought what a cute coffee card this would make.  

I started with the A2 card base in a cream color and I inked the edge in Walnut Stain.  I then reached into my scraps and found this piece of 12x12 I had cut into previously from a Vicki Boutin paper pad and well it looks like coffee rings to me so I thought the colors were perfect and the rings were too so I adhered it to the top of the base.

I grabbed the 3 pieces that were perfect for this coffee themed card and laid them out where I wanted them.  I reached into my Brass and Bliss stamp set called LET'S MEET FOR COFFEE and used the YOU ARE BREW-TIFUL sentiment.  I stamped it on a die that I had in my stash and added the thread and DONE!

See how easy that is and a great way use up those left over pieces in a collection.  I hope you were inspired to grab a collection you are almost done with or you have no idea what to do with and make a card out of it...coffee themed or not.  But if it is a coffee themed card here is a link to join us on the hop or just go and look at all the inspiration the ladies have to offer this year.

Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope you have a crafty-card making kind of day😋

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,

Kimberly
