2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop

 Hello! 

I finally found some time to make a coffee 

themed card for the 

2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop!

 

This is always such a fun and inspiring hop.

Even if I’m not able to participate I

still enjoy seeing all the amazing creations 

and getting tons of ideas! 

My card features my love of a coffee

that only comes around once a year

PUMPKIN SPICE! 

I look forward to it every year 

and it disappears too fast

(as does the beautiful fall weather). 

To create this card I used several products 

from Super Sponsor Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps -

 two stamp sets, stencil, enamel dots and inks. 

The background panel is made by using 

Original Olive and Pumpkin Patch

Hybrid ink refills as a spray (mixed with

water in a spray bottle) over the 

Darling Dashes stencil. After the

panel dried I sprayed a few more 

“blotches” of the olive ink on it

for more texture. 

The adorable coffee cup is from the 

Coffee and Chocolate stamp set. 

I masked off the existing pattern when 

I stamped the image. Then I stamped a 

bunch of the little pumpkin stamp from

Purr-fect Halloween to make a fun fall

pattern (inspired by 

the fun patterns you get from Starbucks). 

I made the cup cardboard band with cardstock 

And scored it to look like a cardboard sleeve. 

The sentiment is from The Greeting Farm

stamp set called Pumpkin Spice Anya. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that

 you liked my card and that I inspired 

you in some way. 

Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021 - Entry #3

 Hello again!

I'm squeaking under the wire with one last entry for the

Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021!

This card features another adorable image by 

Your Next Stamp (one of the hop sponsors)

called Coffee Characters stamp set

and coordinating dies.  I also used one of the 

YNS paper packs called Birthday Girl and the current 

sketch from Your Next Stamp Challenge #172

This time I flipped the orientation of the sketch though.

The sentiment is from another coffee set called 

Sprinkles Coffee and Tea.

Off to bed I go so I can wake up

and have a big cup of joe!

Caffeinated hugs! D

Fall Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021 - Entry #2

 Hello friends! I'm back again with a second entry in the 

Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop 2021!

One of the sponsors of this awesome event is Your Next Stamp.

I had purchased this adorable coffee related stamp set

awhile ago but hadn't had the chance to use it yet.

Until today - whoot whoot!

Here's my card using the Coffee Characters stamp set

and coordinating dies.  I also used one of the 

YNS paper packs called Birthday Girl and the current 

sketch from Your Next Stamp Challenge #172

As you can see I followed the sketch pretty closely. 

I'd love a mug of coffee so big I could sit in it

before I have to go to work lol! 

Thanks for sharing with me today.  

Caffeinated Hugs to you!

12 Krafty Days of Khristmas Wrap Up (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps) and 2017 Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Happy Tuesday friends and followers!

Congrats for making it past Monday lol!

Have you been following the 

12 Krafty Days of Khristmas
event at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps/Challenges?

Each day we've been featuring one of the 

stamp sets released each month during 2017.

You can see my posts for Day Two here 

and for Day Nine here. 

Today I'm featuring one of the stamp sets from
November 2017 called A BREW-TIFUL DAY
(with a little extra accessories from Shake it Up)
I made some special gift bags for my co-workers
and friends by stamping all over some muslin bags
(one of them I then colored in with my copic markers)
and adding a coordinating tag.  Each gift has a small bag of
ground coffee and special winter/Christmas chocolates.

I also made one special little bag for a friend who doesn't
like coffee (the horror) using cocoa mix, a peppermint
and chocolate covered cookie stick (YUM!)
and some awesome large snowflake marshmallows
(one just can't have cocoa without marshmallows!).
 

here's a couple close ups of the coffee bags
(I apologize for the poor lighting on the photos )
