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 2025 - Coffee Time

Hey guys, yeap, I am here with yet another coffee themed card for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025.  As always, here is a link to go over and check out all the inspiration and if you are a coffee/tea/hot cocoa lover join in and have some fun with us this year. 

I am really loving all of my new coffee themed and inspired stamps and dies this year!  My collection has really grown.

Here is another one from the Amazon stamp set I bought that I don't love but I'm not too mad at it.

I started this one off with an A2 base in the same color as her sweater (or pretty darn close to it).  I added a slightly smaller coffee themed paper from Brass and Bliss called Java Good Time.  

After adhering them together I moved on to cutting that postage frame (I got this from scrapbook . com). I used the largest and then the one that was 2 sizes smaller so I get that wide space in-between.  I adhered the large one down and then popped the smaller one up on foam tape.

I then used my stamp platform to stamp out the image.  I used my Spectrum Noir and Copic markers to color her in and then adhered her to the middle of that smaller postage die.

Using the same stamp set I stamped the sentiment "Coffee Time" along with 4 of the coffee beans.  I then reached for my Ranger Perfect Pearls and dusted the image before it dried and it gives that gold luster look to it.

Well that was a pretty easy card to make...I hope it inspired you to dig into your stamps and dies and make a card for that special someone.

Thanks for hanging out with me today,

Have a crafty card making kind of day,

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!

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2025 -Death Before Decaf

Hey guys, I'm here hopping along with the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  Lots of inspiration, prizes and Super Sponsors!  Here's a link to join in and find out more.

I'm here with Card #2 for this hop.  I'm still on the Halloween theme kick so I printed another AI card front from FreePik.com...how cool is this guy?

I grabbed that same Craft Consortium 6x6 paper pad and chose this copper looking background for my card base.  I cut it slightly smaller than an A2 base and backed it on a tan colored card stock.  I then backed the card front image onto a glossy black card stock and adhered it to my card base.  I had this cute little frozen coffee sticker from Recollections so I put it in his hand.

I then reached for my DEATH BEFORE DECAF stamp and stamped it and die cut it using one of my postage dies and adhered that to the same glossy black card stock.  Since the image was a little thick because I backed it, I ended up adding some scrap card stock to the lower have of the back of the stamp to match the hieght and glued it down just below the image.  I added the gems from Honey Bee and called it done!

I think he would definitely tell you Death Before Decaf or maybe that's what happen to him, he ordered decaf 🤣🤣

Thanks for hanging out with me for this super quick card and don't forget to hop over to the blog and catch all the fun!

Have a crafty day!

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Hop 2025 - Hang in there, Taking one day at a time.

Hey guys, I'm here participating on the 2025 Coffee Lovers FallWinter Hop.  I am always so excited this time of year because this hop is full of amazing sponsors, talented card maker and fun prizes! If you have never participated I will leave a link to all the fun, inspiration and prizes to be had (click here).

I just got some Doodlebug bits and pieces from their Happy Healing collection and OMG I just love them...I'm a sucker for Doodlebug.  

This card came together pretty quick.  I started off with some inks from CTMH (oh I so miss that company).  I started with Shortbread and then went to Sundance and then added some Twisted Citron Distressed Oxide, trying to pull in those shades of tan, yellow and green from the ephemera pieces.  

I reached into my packs of Doodlebug and pulled 5 of them...that mug and lemons with the ginger was definitely a focal point so all I had to do was add a couple more pieces...the HOME REMEDIES and the FEELING THE LOVE was perfect to add in some more of the green.  I added the banner at the top and then pulled in some yellow to balance it out with the banner at the bottom.

After adhering it all down (I used some foam tape for the focal pieces) I then adhered that to an A2 card size base that pulled in some of the brownish tan of the ginger root.  

How quick and easy was that?!  Who says a card has to be complicated to be awesome.  Thanks so much for hanging out with me and I hope you head over to the hop and find some inspiration.

Have a crafty day,

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!

Today I made a card using a flower stamp and die set from Close To My Heart (I was so sad to see them close their doors) and colored it in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  

I also used one of my fav to go cup dies from AlteNew FRIENDS FOREVER collection.  This is a great size coffee tumbler!  

I embossed the cup with a 3D Embossing folders, I cut the sleeve and lid out of paper from the JAVA GOOD TIME from Brass and Bliss and popped them up on foam tape.  

I blended the background with WILD HONEY and SQUEEZED LEMONADE distressed oxides. I also stamped the sentiment using a great coffee stamp set from Brass and Bliss called LETS MEET FOR COFFEE (a must have if you are into coffee loving cards)  I added some enamel dots that have been in my stash for a LONG time (love when I can use old stash up) and then I distressed the edges of the card, adhered it to black card stock and that's it.  Easy peasy!

Here is one of my cards I'm linking up for the hop.

I used a die from AlteNew's Friends Forever to die cut the coffee cup, lid and sleeve. I used a solid paper and this awesome coffee background paper from the same JAVAGood Time 6x6 paper pad from Brass and Bliss.  I made a shaker out of it adding some bits and pieces from my stash of sequins, popped the lid up on foam tape.  I used a stitched heart die from my stash to add to the sleeve, then I die cut the cream color card stock with a frame die I have and stamped a coffee sentiment on it from the LETS MEET FOR COFFEE stamp set from Brass and Bliss and backed the entire card on some black card stock to make it pop...easy peasy!

Speaking of linking up to the hop, here are the instructions to link up to the  Coffee Lovers FALL/WINTER blog hop 2024.  Before doing these steps please note that you have to have your card/photo in either a Blog, Pinterest, FB or IG so you can link it.  IT WILL NOT LINK STRAIGHT TO A PHOTO OFF YOUR COMPUTER.  After you have uploaded your card to one of your social media sites (I use Pinterest or my blog site because I am not on any other Social Media sites) you can link it.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ Make Today Amazing

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Card makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021!  I hope you are having as much fun hopping along as I am creating and hopping!

I'm here with my 10th card so far this hop!  I just learned on Wednesday that I won a prize from Impress Cards & Crafts!  I'm so excited and thankful for Impress Cards & Crafts for being a SUPER SPONSOR this year!

Now on to this sweet, simple cards.  I started off with an A2 card base.  I cut a white card stock down to size for the top panel and I inked it with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink in TATTERED ROSE.  I then sprayed a little water to activate it.

The side border is from my older stash...I used 4 layers and adhered it down to the side of the card.  I then reached into my NEW stash from Piececraftlove.com and pulled out a mini sticker tablet from CARPE DIEM and found these tiny coffee cups and knew I had to use one!  

I pulled a clipboard with the word TODAY on it, some black and white flowers, 2 different color hearts and a word strip that says MAKE TODAY AMAZING.  I also found this cute heart arrow.  I put 2 tiny banners below the word strip and I was done!

This was a super easy card to make!  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and checking out my 10th card for the COFFEE LOVING CARDMAKERS BLOG HOP!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ But first Coffee

 

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Card makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021!  I hope you are having as much fun hopping along as I am creating and hopping!

Wow, I think this is my 9th card now!  I'm on a roll this year!  I think the most cards I've done on the Fall/Winter Blog Hop was 4 so I'm just so excited to be doing this again this year🙌

I used 2 different stamp sets for this one.  The first one I grabbed was the one I actually one for the Coffee blog hop a couple of months ago from JOURNALS FOR LIFE.  I love their stuff!  I was so excited to get this set!

I started off with an A2 card, I reached into my 6x6 paper pads and pulled out DESIGNER PAPER ~ CARNIVAL with those really awesome checkered pattern of colors!  I then reached for a paper from WE ARE MEMORY KEEPERS called ANTIQUE CHIC.  I fussy cutter the top of the paper and adhered to to the top of the card.  I also die cut a tag from the same piece of paper (with journaling lines).  

I stamped the Sentiment from the JOURNALS FOR LIFE in Wendy Vecchi Permanent ink in FERN GREEN.  I then stamped the coffee cup with the whip cream (old stash, and I can't remember where I got it...but I do love the saying😉)  I used Tim Holtz Distressed Markers in FOSSILIZED AMBER and LUCKY GLOVER.  I added some sparkle from my glitter brush marker in CLEAR SHIMMER.

I had the calendar in my stash so I adhered it down on the card panel, added foam dots to the sentiment and added thread to the tag and adhered it all down.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop as much as I am!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ Coffee is Always a Good idea

 

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Card makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021!  I hope you are having as much fun hopping along as I am creating and hopping!

Today I am using a stamp from the JOURNALS FOR LIFE coffee stamp set called BUT FIRST COFFE.  I actually won this stamp set on the last blog hop a couple of months ago and I love it!  I must say, I'm not good with coloring my stamps but I gave it a go.

First I cut  a woodgrain background to fit my A2 card and then die cut another frame in a cream colored card stock to use as the top card.

I stamped the coffee cup and saucer with those beautiful flowers on white card stock.  I then I stamped the heart shaped "cream top" with more flowers on top to give it a fancy look like the baristas do at the coffee shops.  I fussy cut it, colored all of it in (using lots of different colors) and I popped it up on foam dots to give it a bit of dimension.

I then stamped the beans (I mean how cute are they) and the spoon on the side of the saucer.  I stamped teh COFFEE IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA sentiment above it.  I added a little heart "candy" from another stamp set beside the cup, added my Nuvo drops in AUBURN PEARL and adhered the panel to my A2 card.

I used the following Tim Holtz Distressed Inks: WORN LIPSTICK, FIRED BRICK, LUCKY CLOVER, SCATTERED STRAW, ANTIQU LINEN, TEA DYE, TATTERED ROSE and WALNUT STAIN.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!  Now it's time for some coffee ;)

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ Two Coffees are Better Than One! ~ THING 1 AND THING2

 

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Card makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021!

This will be the 4th year I'm doing it and it's always so much fun!  Amy Tsuruta is the mastermind behind this huge coffee lovers blog hop each year and does a fantastic job!  There are a ton of Super Sponsors and prizes so I hope you come join us!

Today I'm here using some these cute FREE IMAGES I found on line of Thing 1 & Thing 2.  How adorable are they!  After downloading them I fussy cut both and set them aside.

I pulled my A2 pre-scored card (because that's how I roll) and set it aside.  I cut the top panel to size using some water color paper I had in my stash that's a cream color.  I then went into my old stash and found these awesome circles with spirally lines (did I just make a word up??).  Any-WHO, I stamped them in some Catherine Pooler ROCKIN RED and some HERO ARTS inks in OMBRE BLUE.  I then added some blue lines with my ARTEZA Markers.

I printed out the title from my computer and die cut it using my thin die cut.  I adhered the sentiment down, along with Thing 1 and Thing 2 and then I reached into my stash and pulled out 2 coffee cups from JOURNALS FOR LIFE stickers and ephemera pack.  I thought the cups were the perfect size for these 2!  

Finally, I inked the edge of the top card in the same OMBRE BLUE (and forgot to mention that I inked the sentiment edges in ROCKIN' RED).

I adhered the top panel to the A2 card and BAM! Done.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the card and it inspired you to come hop along with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop!

Today I'm here using some Crafter's Companion Gemini COZY DRINKS STAMP & DIE SET.  This set is super cute and comes with 2 stamp and die sets.  I used the one with the cute coffee cups with a spoon, marshmallows, whip cream, winter scarf and a smiley face!  This set is too cute!

I started out making the A2 size card in brown heavy weight card stock paper and then cut the top layer slightly smaller, in a lighter weight cream color card stock.  I inked it in  tim Holtz Distressed Ink in TATTERED ROSE.  I pulled out some snow sequins from my Christmas stash and adhered them down to the top of the card.

I picked out a paper pattern from one of my 6x6 paper pads from G Basicgray's called WHAT'S UP.  I cut one coffee cup from it using the stamp to out line it and added that oh so cute smiley face!  I mean who can have a frown when drinking coffee?  I stamped the spoon behind it so it looks like it's in the cup.

I then stamped the other cup with Black Stayz On Ink (twice) using my Tim Holtz stamping platform.  I then added some fine embossing powder in DETAIL BLACK and he set it.  I then stamped it again with some embossing pad and embossed it with WOW fine embossing powder in SNOW and heat set that, it made a sparkly outline of the cup!   

I then stamped the whip cream in a  Distressed Ink in WALNUT STAIN and again with my embossing pad and used the same fine WOW embossing powder in SNOW.  I then stamped the winter scarf using the same pattern paper as the other cup and die cut it out and added it the cup.  

Lastly, I stamped the sentiments on the card (one on a pattern paper to give it a bit of dimension) and also, we can't forget those cute marshmallows!  I adhered all of it down (popping up the black coffee cup and whip cream on foam dots) and I was done!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ PUMPKIN SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop 2021!

This will be the 4th year I'm doing it and it's always so much fun!  Amy Tsuruta is the mastermind behind this huge coffee lovers blog hop each year and does a fantastic job!  There are a ton of Super Sponsors and prizes so I hope you come join us!

Today I'm making a Pumkin Spice and Everything Nice Card with lots of whip cream on top!  

I started with an A2 base card and added a top card in a the color of cream from my stash.  I cut a 4 1/2 x 2" strip from a piece from my stash, added some twine (it was actually green but I inked it in WALNUT STAIN from Tim Holtz Distressed Ink).  I adhered it to the strip I cut.  

I grabbed my Crafter's Companion Gemini COZY DRINKS STAMP & DIE SET.  This set is super cute and comes with 2 stamp and die sets.  I used the one with the to go cup.  I reached in my stash for another paper to use as the cup. 

I pulled out my stamp and die set from Sizzix called PUMPKIN SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE. I stamped the one that says PUMPKIN SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE on the paper along with the to go cup from the Crafter's Companion set (I love to mix and match coffee stamp and dies sets).

I also stamped the "whip cream" 2 times and then once (backwards, it was a happy accident).  I layered them all together for a big pile of whip cream!  I mean who doesn't love extra whip?!   I then stamped out the straw twice and cut them out.  I used foam adhesive on both the cup and whip cream.  I put the straws behind the whip cream. and also added some sequins from my stash on top of the whip cream for some extra toppings! 

I have a border die so I used it to punch out a small piece of the same paper I used behind the cup.  I added it on the top of the cup and added some Nuvo drops in CHAMPAGNE.

Finally, I used the circle die with stitching from the Crafters Companion set, stamped the pumpkin from the PUMPKIN & SPICE stamp set to it, popped it up on foam tape and adhered it to the card.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ Warm & Cozy memories

 

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Card makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021!

Today I'm here putting together this cute Christmas Hot Cocoa themed card using some puffy stickers from Paper Crafts.  

I started off with a pre-made A2 size card base that was already scored.  I went into my stash and found some Christmas green paper and cut it down to size.  I added a flag and a strip of burgundy colored textured card stock along with some Christmas twine that I wrapped around the green top card so that when I adhered it to the base you wouldn't be able to see the back of the twine.

I then added a sticker from PHOTOPLAY that says WARM & COZY MEMORIES to the top, which I thought was the perfect sentiment for this card!  I then chose the 2 hot cocoa puffy stickers from the pack I had, added some of the holly leaves, mistletoe and a cut puffy sticker candy cane!

This card came together super quick and is such a cute Christmas card to send for Christmas!  Just goes to show you don't have to be elaborate when making cards...sometimes simple is best.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021 ~ Coffee and Friends are the Perfect Blend

 

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by today!  Today I'm here doing a coffee themed card for the Coffee Loving Card makers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021!

This will be the 4th year I'm doing it and it's always so much fun!  Amy Tsuruta is the mastermind behind this huge coffee lovers blog hop each year and does a fantastic job!  There are a ton of Super Sponsors and prizes so I hope you come join us!

Today I'm here using some AlteNew FRIENDS FOREVER coffee stamps.  I saw this set and fell in love!  The sentiments are PERFECT for any friendship.  If you haven't seen this set head over to Piece Craft Love and check it out!

I went with a bigger card this time.  I did an A6 card which is 4 1/2 x 6 1/4".  I wanted to do a wider base card for this particular one.  

I started out making the A6 card in brown heavy weight card stock paper and then cut the top layer slightly smaller, using the Vicki Boutin water color paper.  I wanted to use something that would take the background distressed sprays I used and this paper is magical!  I used SHIMMERINGZ SPRAYS in BRONZED BOMBSHELL along with Tim Holtz Distress Spray in CRACKED PISTACHIO. 

After letting it dry I stamped it with the cool hearts that looks like steam coming up from the coffee cups!  That was from my Crafter's Companion Gemini COZY DRINKS STAMP & DIE SET. I love mixing and matching die and stamp sets!  I also inked the edges in the Catherine Pooler ink.

I then stamped the cups using StazOn Ink in Black along with the sentiments COFFEE AND FRIENDS ARE THE PERFECT BLEND and BFF.  I love using my Tim Holtz stamping platform for this!  I also stamped out the double hearts that come in the AlteNew stamp set and with the same Catherine Pooler ink in WALK IN THE PARK.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in TEA DYE to ink the cups along with the Catherine Pooler ink  in the same WALK IN THE PARK color (I just love it). I alternated coloring of the cups. 

I fussy cut everything and then adhered them down, using pop dots for the double hearts to give a bit of dimension.

Today I'm here putting together this cute Coffee themed card using some dies from Gemini Crafter's Companion.  I have 2 sets from the Coffee Sweet Like Chocolate die set.

I started off with some cranberry textured card stock and cut it to A2 size for the card base.  I went into my stash and found some brown craft paper with circles on it which reminded me of snow. I cut the coffee cup, snow flake, spoon and steam from the die set.  I used velum for the snow flake and the steam.  I had a piece of scrape paper from my Christmas stash to die cut the spoon.

I used one of my Nestibilities frame dies that was 3 x 4 1/4 and cut a frame out.  I then stamped the sentiment with STAZON ink in Black and popped it up on foam dots, along with the coffee cup to give some dimension. I added some Tim Holtz Distressed Ink in BRUSHED CORDUROY on the edges of the card Lastly, I added a Nuvo drop in the middle of the snowflake and I was done.
