2016 Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop - Day One

on



Today is the day!  It is the start of the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop!  Link up a newly created winter/holiday themed project that uses a coffee/tea or cocoa theme for a chance to win!

I recently picked up a bunch of new coffee stamps in the last month or so.  Decisions decisions of which to use first.  I decided to go with the new Unity Stamps Joy to Go set:


I made a trio of cards!  The paper is all from the Basic Grey Juniper Berry pad, which I hoard!  I used the same design but switched up the colors a bit for variety.  This is my version of mass production.


No surprises but this one is my favorite:


I know, I know...it's green + pink 💚💖

Here's a traditional one, from the red poinsettia to the kraft coffee sleeve.


Unity Stamp Company is one of our Super Sponsors! 


I wanted to do a shout out for their generosity!  Check out what one lucky winner will win:


The kindness of the Paper Crafting Community is beyond awesome, isn't it?!  Remember, you have until Friday, December 16th at 11:59 pm pacific to link up your winter/holiday themed project for a chance to win!

Your cards are so cute, Amy, and I love how you made the envelope to match! That is an awesome prize from Unity! Thank you for everything you do and all the time you give to organize my favorite blog hop! I was so afraid I was going to miss out this time when my computer crashed last week, but I managed to make it at the 11th hour! Yes, I stayed up until 3 a.m. making my cards but I couldn't sleep anyway so I had fun in my craftroom!
