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!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #36

Hi guys, I'm up on the blog hopping on the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #36.    The THEME is Snowman, and who doesn't love a good snowman in the middle of winter!  This is the first time I'm making a 5x7 card!  

I pulled out my STAMPENDOUS! Snowman Hugs die and the coordinating stamp set.  This Die set is sooooo cute and comes with 2 different size snowmen and some cute Christmas icons too.  I got this stamp set a few months ago and haven't even played with it yet so when I saw this challenge I had to play along.

I started off die cutting all the pieces and trying to find some Christmas paper to coordinate the hat and scarf and since I have a HUGE stash of Christmas paper that wasn't a problem.  After putting the 2 snowmen (or should I say snow adult and snow child) together with their cute hat and scarfs, I reached into my stash and got my Gemini stamp set that had the cute HOT CHOCOLATE sentiment and stamped the card.

I grabbed my Momenta die set of snowflakes and die cut 3 out, glued them on and added some red half pearls to bring some more red into the card.  I added the snowman, popping the small one up on foam tape.

The coffee cup stamp is an old stamp set I've had for years, I stamped it, added a snowflake stamp in red and then used my Copic Markers to color in the cup.

Here is the finished 5x7 card!  I do like how it turned out and so happy I bought this die set, it is so versatile with the add on dies and stamps it has.

Thanks for hanging out with me and here's the link so you can head over and join the fun!

2020 SPRING | SUMMER COFFEE LOVERS BLOG HOP!

Today marks the second year of doing this coffee lovers blog hop!  I did 2 (one in 2018 and one in 2019) Both were the Winter Blog Hops and loved it!  I was hooked on making cards after that! Who knew I could make a card nice enough to send to someone!  At first I was intimidated by the oh, so talented bunch in the Coffee Loving Cardmaking Facebook Group (I highly recommend joining this awesome group if you are into Coffee or Card Making and especially if you are into both)!  But after following, learning and Blog Hopping I was in!

Click Here for a link to all of the sponsors, the sales they are offering for this hop (act quick, this hop ends soon) and the awesome inspiration they all share!

For this hop, I wanted to make a more Spring colored card (rather than the usual coffee colors) so I dug into my Echo Park Coffee Collection sticker sheet (as you can see I love this collection) to start off and found this perfect COFFEE AND FRIENDS sticker and started my cards off with those colors!

I then grabbed some blue card stock paper (to pull out the blues in the sticker) and some bright, springy colored pattern card stock paper and a tiny piece of a cut apart with colors to die for (for the hearts and the top of the coffee cup).  This just goes to show...I'm NOT A HORDER of paper but someone who knows I will eventually use that tiny piece on some layout or card😬...all of those papers I had in my stash.

Lastly, and so super excited to finally be able to use these new dies and stamps from Crafters Companion that I purchased from HSN a few months ago...come on, coffee themed and a SALE!  Who wouldn't have???

I started off with this amazing blue card stock, cut it down to a slightly smaller size than A4 card so that the pattern paper behind it (cut to A4 size) would be seen.  I layered another cut of the pattern paper on top of the blue card stock and then added a blue strip of the same card stock down the middle to break up the pattern a bit.  I then backed the COFFEE AND FRIENDS sticker from Echo Park on to a pink/rose colored card stock (again, old stash) and used some foam adhesive to the back to give it a bit of dimension.

I then die cut the coffee mug and 3 hearts (1 out of the pink/rose colored paper and 2 out of the heart pattern paper).  The coffee die set came with its own stamps so I chose the FRIENDS KEEP YOUR HEART WARM sentiment to stick with the friends theme that was on the sticker.  I backed the 2 hearts and the coffee mug with foam adhesive to give it some dimension and added a white heart brad to the pink/rose heart cut out at the top.

Well, there you have it.  This layout came together quick for me.  It's a simple card that looks like I spent a lot of time doing.  The best layouts and cards aren't always the once that take hours or days.

Collections I used:

Echo Park Coffee Collection

Crafter's Companion Coffee Die and Stamp Collection (gemini)
