Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Sweet n Sassy Stamps Collaboration Hop

 Hello and Welcome to a Collaboration Blog Hop with Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Sweet n Sassy Stamps! We are so excited to be teaming up with Coffee Loving Cardmakers Design Team to bring you some caffeinated inspiration...and a PRIZE!  Comment on each blog post on the hop for a chance to win a $25 gift voucher to the Sweet n Sassy Stamps Store! 

If you have been hopping along, you should have come from Lyn Tomlin's blog.  To start from the beginning,  head over the the Sweet n Sassy Stamps blog.  You can find a complete hop list on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.  

I have had a thing for filling coffee cups with things besides coffee lately.  This fabulous large cup and saucer from the Sweet n Sassy Stamps I Like Big Cups Stamp Set was calling out to be filled with these morning glories from the Sympathy Morning Glories Stamp Set. A bit of masking on some Arches Watercolor Paper and I was set to go.  The images were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then the images were painted with my all time paint go-to, Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  Once the panel was dry, a sentiment was stamped from the Birthday Wordfetti Stamp Set. 

Check out this fabulous I Like Big Cups Stamp Set!

To finish the card I used a few of my favorite sequins, SSS Moonshine sequins.  

Head over to Ceal's blog for more fantastic inspiration, java style!

Jolly Christmas Cup

 Hello!  

I am thrilled to be participating in the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  A HUGE thanks to Amy Tsuruta for organizing this biannual hop.  

I had so much fun with this card!  I combined a couple of stamp sets to get my gnome in a cup.   

I started with the In This Together Stamp Set from Sweet  n Sassy Stamps.  I masked out the flowers in the cup and stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Once the cup was stamped, I masked it off and stamped the jolly, light untangling gnome from the Christmas Gnomes Stamp Set inside the cup.  Everything was colored with Copics.  

I am linking up to Festive Friday; I used a sentiment, stencil, patterned paper and baker's twine (ribbon).  Also linking up to Krafty Chicks Challenge.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the hop!

Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!

Hello, Hello!

I love the biannual Coffee Lover's Blog Hop Tradition!
Thanks to Amy Tsuruta for her time and the dedication she puts into these hops and the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's  Blog.

My card features the In This Together Stamp Set by Sweet n Sassy Stamps.  The image was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I had the sun ray panel in a pile of backgrounds (yeah for using stuff I already had)!  The blue portion was done with the smoothing technique and distress inks.
The sentiment makes the card, imo, and is from the Tea for Two Stamp Set.  I used my MISTI to stamp it so I got perfect placement around my main image.
I finished it off with Sakura white gelly roll pen for the flower centers and my favorite sequins, Moonshine, from Simon Says Stamp.
That's it for me!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Hello!
It is that time of year when we celebrate coffee (or tea or hot chocolate) with the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!  A huge thanks to Amy Tsuruta for her work in putting this hop together.

I fell in love with this fabulous die from Impression Obsession, Tea Cocoa.  I decided to make it look like old fashioned milk glass by embossing it with a polka dot embossing folder.

I kept it simple, with some patterned paper and some glitter.  YES, glitter.  I never use it as frankly, I hate it!  But, it was perfect to jazz up the whipped cream.  While I had it out, I put down a length of Score Tape and burnished some glitter into it.
The wonderful sentiment is also Impression Obsession- I am obsessed with the font- and is called Warmest Wishes.

Super simple!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!

Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Hello, Hello!

I am a bit late to the Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, but I finally got to craft yesterday evening and played with some new toys.  I really need to stop trying to get fancy with every thing and K.I.S.S!  This card was fraught with errors as I did LOTS of masking, but in the end I think it turned out OK.

I used two W Plus 9 stamp sets, a Christmas set from last year- Holiday Trimmings- and a new set,  Hello and Thanks.  I used the matching die on the sentiment, which I adore!
I created masks for all of the images, then put the mask down where the cup would go and stamped my ornaments masking them as well.  Once the ornaments were stamped, I folded back the cup mask and stamped the floral spray.  Next, I masked the floral spray and lined up the cup image with the cup mask that was still in place.  Once the stamp was ready to go, I removed the cup mask and stamped the cup.  lastly, I masked the cup and flowers and stamped the saucer.
I have all of my oopsies hidden behind various components.  Hopefully next time execution will be better!~
My background was one of those in a pile waiting to be used.  It was the perfect shade of red- made with Ken Oliver Color Bursts.
