Books Are Like Friends Card

Hi guys, I'm here doing another card for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog hop.  Here is a link to check out all of the amazing inspiration that is going on over there and all the info on how to join in if you want too!

I got my color and inspiration from the coffee cup that has been sitting in my stash for 3 years! 

I started off with  blending some Broken China distressed Oxide on a card base.  I used one of my die cuts that had a great border on it and I inked that in the same color oxide.  I grabbed my heart coffee stencil from Miss Ink Stamps  called Latte Love and used Hickory Smoke distressed oxide on it. 

I popped the coffee cup up on some foam tape and then die cut the spoon (you can see the handle of it sticking out of the cup) and the steam and adhered it all down.  

I have a book stamp that I stamped on 80lb card stock and colored it in using my Spectrum Noir markers (I'm still trying to get the hang of shading). and adhered that down and lastly I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of paper (because don't we all have scraps laying around so why not use them up).

Lastly, I used some distressed oxide on it as well and adhered it down and I was done!  I love the sentiment and it was such a quick and easy card and BONUS, I used up that coffee cup that was in my stash for so long!

I hope to see you all over at the hop!

Thanks for stopping by,

Wishing You Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice - Day 5 of the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024

 Hey guys, I'm up on my blog again with another card I made for day 5 of the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024.  Here is a link to the hop if you want to participate, and here is a link to the directions on how to link up to the hop just in case you need a little help with that (I know the first year I was just lost).

The card I made definitely has a lot of Fall vibes to it.  I am loving the stamp I got from Miss Ink Stamps, and they happen to be one of the SUPER SPONSORS of this blog hop!

After stamping the image, I colored it in using my Spectrum Noir markers, I am still learning but I'm not mad at it.  After I finished coloring and shading I let it dry and added some Wild Honey and Gathered Twigs Distressed Oxides to the background.  

I added some half pearls and then adhered it to the JAVA GOOD TIME 6x6 paper pad from Brass and Bliss (this is starting to become one of my fav 6x6 paper pads!

Well that wraps it up for me today, I hope to see you hopping along with the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2024!
