Hello friends and happy Fri-Yay!  Today I'm taking part of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog hop being sponsored by Joy Clair Designs.  On this hop you will see lots of coffee/tea/beverage inspired cards, plus have the chance to win some great prizes.  Continue reading below for all the details and to see my card.  

Here is the card I created using the Coffee Mood digital stamp set from Joy Clair Designs:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I cut a 5 1/4" x 2 1/4" piece of black and white polka dot paper and adhered this to the bottom of the card front.  I printed out 6 coffee cups from the Coffee Mood digital stamp set onto Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I colored the coffee cups in a ROYGBIV rainbow pattern and then fussy cut each coffee cup out.  I adhered the cups to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I die cut the letter C-O-F-F-E-E from cardstock in a rainbow of colors and adhered the letter to the card.  Lastly, I printed out the digital sentiment "you've been on my mind" and adhered it to the card also using 3M adhesive for added dimension.  This sentiment is from the Spring Bouquet Slimline digital stamp set.

Hello crafty readers and happy Friday!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday spent with family and friends, and I hope you are now beginning to look forward to the start of a new year.   Today I'm delighted to be a guest designer again with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers.  I'm also sharing my first ever creations using some of the beautiful digital stamps from Graciellie Designs, and, my-oh-my these stamps are simply stunning!  I initially purchased just four digital stamps (two of which I'm sharing with you today), but after working with these two, I know I'll be ordering more!

The base of this A2 sized card is made from kraft cardstock.  Using the Scalloped Stitched Nesting dies from Gina Marie Designs, I cut the first layer from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.   I printed out the coffee mug from the Fresh Start digital stamp set on Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers (colors seen below). I fussy cut the image and adhered the mug to the card using foam adhesive.  I placed some linen thread around the mug before adhering the white scalloped layer to the kraft card base.  The sentiment is from the "Words to Live By: Kindness" stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped the sentiment in indigo ink in the upper right corner.  I added a layer of Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and mug for added sparkle.  Lastly, I added a few turquoise rhinestones around the card for more dimension.

Here is the second card I created using the Christmas Cheer digital stamp set by Graciellie Designs:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangle dies by Gina Marie Designs, I cut a piece of indigo cardstock. I then cut a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of white cardstock to layer over the indigo scalloped piece.  Using the Kindness Counts stamp set by Papertrey Ink, I stamped the sentiment in indigo ink in the upper right corner. I printed the image from the Christmas Cheer stamp set onto Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock and colored it using my Copic markers (see colors below).  I then fussy cut the image and added it to the card using foam adhesive.  I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.  Lastly, I added a couple turquoise rhinestones randomly on the card for added dimension.

Here are the Copic markers I used to color both of these images:

I am still in awe of how gorgeous the stamps by Graciellie Designs are and I hope you will try them too!
Thanks again to Amy and Chaitali for having me guest design these past two weeks with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers.  I'm happy to have some new coffee loving friends!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Hello readers!  I am so excited to be a guest designer for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers today.   A big thank you to co-hosts Amy and Chaitali for having me!  Because we are still just a few days away from Christmas, I have created a seasonal inspired coffee themed card to share with you.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Kraft 80lb cardstock.  Using the Gina Marie Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangle dies, I cut the first layer from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder in the upper right hand corner of this scalloped piece.  Using both the pine leaves, berries and branches from the Papertrey Ink Holiday Greens and Papertrey Ink Spruce and Sprig stamp set and dies, I cut branches and berries in evergreen cardstock, rich cherry cardstock and gold glimmer paper. I adhered all of these die cuts directly to the white scalloped cardstock using a Mono tape runner.

I die cut the coffee mugs, cozies and lids using the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags Frame Cuts.  The lids were cut from solid cherry cardstock and the coffee cups and cozies were cut from the Echo Park Here Comes Santa Claus paper pack. I adhered the two coffee mugs to the card using foam adhesive for added height and dimension.  Lastly I added two pine cones cut from gold foil paper and a red bow die cut from red sparkle paper to the center of the coffee mugs for lots of added glitz and sparkle!

In my mind these two mugs are filled with extra chocolate-y hot cocoa or overly nutmegged chai, since I’m not a coffee drinker.  I call that my “Christmas in a cup!” 
 
I hope you have enjoyed today’s card.  And, once again, a big thank you to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers for having me as a guest designer. Thank you for visiting and happy creating! 

Hello friends, I am happy to be participating in the 2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop this week representing one of the "super sponsors" for this year's hop, RG Avenue.   It's simple and quick to participate in this blog hop - all you have to do is create a project with a caffeinated element (coffee, tea, cocoa, hot cider, etc.) and link up your project HERE.  The blog hop will run until Friday, November 8, 2019.   By linking up to the hop you are entered to win some fabulous prizes from the 81 sponsors of this year's event!  I'll list all of those great prizes at the end of this post.

My card today features two digital stamp sets from RG Avenue called Donut Worry and Seasonal Mug.  I have made Christmas even better by adding donuts and coffee thereby truly making it "the most wonderful time of the year!"

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Sweet Cane sugar stock.  Using the Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Nesting rectangle dies, I cut the first layer from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  The sentiment is from a piece of Echo Park scrapbooking paper that I cut out and adhered to the center of the card.  I printed out two the images from the two RG Avenue digital stamp sets and colored them with my Copic markers.  I added highlights to some of the images using a white Uniball gel pen.  I adhered the donuts and coffee mugs to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly, I put a layer of clear Wink of Stella on the images for added sparkle.
