Fall 2017 Coffee Lovers Bloghop

I'm quite late to the Fall Coffer Lovers Bloghop!

Here's my first entry- which will be in the high 800's! WOW!

 

 

Altenew & Concord & 9th stamps using the current The Heart Desires challenge!

I used some watercolor for the colors & anchored the panel with some glitter washi- it looks very fall-ish to me!
A big shout-out to ~amy~ & the Coffee Loving Crew- what fabulous inspiration!

 

Don't miss the Challenge or the sale at The Heart Desires!

 

Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop Take 2

 Sneaking one more in for the Summer Coffee Lovers Hop! I had high hopes of making more, but packing my house has trumped creative time- boo!

I was SO lucky to be the winner of the AMAZING Unity prize during the spring hop, so I HAD to put an image to work! These images are truly beautiful! This is colored with zigs & cut with a Gina Marie die. The pp is old echo park.

Hoping to find some time to check out the wonderful coffee creations this weekend!

Thanks to Amy & the Coffee Loving Cardmaker Crew for keeping us inspired (and caffeinated!)

Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop

The Coffee Hop is here! The Coffee Hop is here!

Always so much fun (and dangerous for the wallet!) to see all the coffee inspired fun!

Thank you to Amy & the Coffee Crew for all of the work that goes into these hops!

Here's my first entry:

I've put Altenew's Coffee Love stamps to work- using The Heart Desires Challenge #13 inspiration & my trustee zigs! A Gina Marie Die Scallop Stitched Frame highlights the image.

Spring Coffee Lover's Hop Take 2

 Sneaking in another card for the Spring Coffee Lover's Bloghop!

I've used more Lil' Inker goodies today- Love this die set! The panel is cut with a Gina Marie die, and nested back into the back side of the paper. I stamped flowers from Altenew's Wildflower set onto the sleeve (colored with prisma pencils) and onto the solid panel then dusted with perfect pearls.

Very springy indeed!

I'm in awe of the number of fabulous coffee projects!!

Spring 2017 Coffee Lovers Bloghop

It's time!! The spring coffee lovers bloghop is here!

These hops are so much fun- cool to see all the inspiration! I know it's a ton of work, so a huge thanks to ~amy~ and crew!

I'm hoping to get more done, but my daughter's birthday is this week, we've been helping my parents move, and we are getting ready to move too.... I am so tired, coffee isn't even enough these days!!

I can't even tell you how lucky I felt to have won the Lil' Inkers Latte Love stamps & dies during the last hop- I remember seeing them & thinking they were perfect!! They are a super sponsor, so be sure to check them out!

I think the paper is authentique. The mug is stamped on bristol paper & colored with zigs. The sentiment is heat embossed, a bit of burlap string & some acrylic paint spatters finish it off.

I know I'm late to the party- and I also know I've got no delusions of catching up to Erin's number of entries- but hopefully I will be back!

Happy Hopping!

Winter Coffee Lovers Hop & The Heart Desires Challenge #7

I'm back with another card for the Coffee Lovers Hop using The Heart Desires Challenge #7 as my inspiration!

Can you tell I'm smitten with that bear? And the Santa mug! I LOVE this set! I colored them with my Zigs!

I embossed the front of the card panel with the Richard Garay knit pattern folder (I saw Michele using it too many fun ways and could not resist!)

I used Gina Marie Dies to cut the Scallop frame & circle from DCWV patterned paper.

Don't forget to stop by the Super Sponsor The Heart Desires Store- She's offering 10% off your order during the hop by using code 2016WCLBH

Don't forget that I'm drawing 3 names Sunday from my coffee posts this week to win the above bundle of ribbon ( I have 2 bundles) or a Starbucks gift card!

ETA: Random.org chose 3 winners! (15, 56, 3)

Shelly, Redhead & Helen F!

Wrapping Up the Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

Sneaking in one last entry for the Coffee Lovers Bloghop as well as the Altenew Challenge!

Here's what I came up with:

I put the Altenew Coffee Love set to work with some zig coloring. I fussy cut the pot and mugs and attached to die cut panel with the sentiment. The background is embossed with a woodgrain plate to capture a bit of a fall feel!

 

Excited to check out the inspiration- the Coffee Lovers Hop is up to 810 as of this writing- looks like another record could be in the works!! 

I know this hop is a ton of work to coordinate but it's always filled with so much fun and sweet crafters! Thank you to Amy & all the sponsors!

More Coffee!

Since I had that cute fall paper out I used the Lil Inkers dies & stamps to make this fun tag!

Coffee ribbon is a fun way to finish it off!

Coffee Lover's Hop!

Popping in with one more post for the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

I've used some Cosmo Cricket paper from my stash along with this adorable Newton Nook image- Lil Inker sentiment...

I'm looking forward to spending some quality time hopping through the amazing inspiration on this hop!

Thank you to Amy and all the sponsors for making this so much fun- I know it is a ton of work!!

The Heart Desires September guest post- take 2!

I am back today with my second post with The Heart Desires!

I've used Lawn Fawn Frosty Fairy Friends and Love You a Latte stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink (the warm wishes is heat embossed in clear since it's on vellum!).

The vellum panel is machine stitched in place and holds some star glitter and iridescent sequins!

There is still a bit of time to play along with the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

I have so enjoyed being a guest designer this month- I had the chance to meet many of the members of The Heart Desires over the weekend- and I can't even express how fun, welcoming and talented they all are!

Speaking of that awesome group- did you see this news? SQUEAL!!!

I Love to see all the amazing creativity this hop brings out!

Here's what I've come up with:

I was inspired by the colors, sunflowers, stripes & chalkboard from The Heart Desires Challenge #4. There's still time to play!

I've used Lawn Fawn Love You a Latte stamps & dies. The Coffee image is stamped on Strathmore Bristol cardstock with black onyx versafine ink. The card base is DCWV, the sunflower paper is g45. Bits of ribbon finish it off!
