Start off the New Year with Coffee

 Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the new year!!  I always like to start a new day with coffee. So why not the new year?  

The cards were made to send to my coffee loving friends and family. 

Stampin' Up stamps and dies were used.

This is a masculine version of the first card above.

Let's all be awesome today!  I usually feel awesome after a good cup of coffee.  LOL 

So glad you stopped by today. Hope your day is lovely.

Coffee as Therapy with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop

 Hello Fellow Coffee Lovers,

In fact I need another cup of Joe right now... Okay, back now and ready to blog.  

This is a great hop and I am enjoying checking out all the coffee themed projects!!

Coffee is good therapy, right?   I made this card for fun to send to my coffee drinking card loving friends.  I made four altogether.  I will share the other versions in the next post.  
                            

The owl and the sentiment are from Gina K designs: Wise Old Owl and Coffee Therapy. I used  peach and aqua for the color scheme.  The owls were stamped with archival black ink and colored with markers.  A sheer coral ribbon was added to complete the card.

Coffee Loving Blog Hop

I combined the coffee theme with another of my favorite stamp themes: owls!  I made a whole stack of owl coffee cards that I will be sharing  through out the hop.  

The owl stamp is from "Sweater Weather" from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is from Echo Park.  I fussy cut the owls and layered them onto a die cut coffee cup.  I added a pretty coral colored ribbon.

Chilly Weather, Warm Hugs

 Hello Everyone,

Oh! The chilly weather is here!  I made some cute cards to celebrate the nice chilly weather.  I used stamps from My Favorite Things.  

This card has a die cut window.  I just used a square die cut and cut into my large background piece (the green card stock).  I set aside the cut out square for some other project.   

Bear was colored with Copics and fussy cut.

Added some die cut trees on the second card.  

Both cards can be used as general greetings cards, or Christmas cards.  I have been making some gifts for all the Nov and Dec birthdays.  Just about finished with those.  I have to frame some cross stitch pieces, and have a small quit project to start.  So just busy busy here. I will try to remember to photograph some of the gifts, so I can share with you.   See you next time.  Oh, boy, I almost forgot...I haven't even photographed my Christmas cards yet.  Gosh!  Better get on the ball. 

See you next time!  Hope you day is filled with warm hugs!

You Are the Pumpkin Spice

 Hello Everyone,

Coffee Loving Card Makers is having a blog hop!  I am definitely a coffee loving card maker!! 

I made this card to send to my nephew who loves pumpkin spice coffees.  

The stamps are from My Favorite Things "Sweater Weather in the Woods".  The background dies are from Stampin Up "Home Together Dies".   

The dies were cut from white card stock to create the rolling hills with trees background.

I stamped with black dye ink and colored with Copic markers.  I fussy cut the animals and added them to the background.

They certainly are enjoying their pumpkin spice lattes.  YUM

 

So happy you stopped by today.  Hope you are enjoying your favorite coffee drink!  See again soon!

Wake Up with a Little Cup of Coffee

Hello Friends!
Let's wake up and get our coffee fix......And throw in a little Cocoa Mouse too!!

Here is a card I made for my stamping buddy, Jan.  I stamped the Cocoa Mouse with coffee cup (Sweet' n Sassy stamps)  I colored the image with copic markers. 

I fussy cut Cocoa and cup, added a die cut, and some coffee theme decorative papers.  Oh, and don't forget a few pearls.

And then so as not to waste any of that coffee themed Dp, I made some additional cards using a retired digi coffee cup.

I added some ribbon and twine to the cards.  I also filled the center oval on the cup with glitter glue. 

Just some fun coffee themed cards for all of us coffee lovers! 

So glad you stopped by today.  I will be back next week with a Age Appropriate (or not appropriate) birthday card.
