The Coffee Loving Cardmakers + The Stamps of Life Collaboration Hop!


Winner posted below!



We're so excited to be collaborating with Super Sponsor, The Stamps of Life.  We're celebrating National Cocoa Day hop style!  You should have arrived here from the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog.  If not, you'll want to start at the beginning of the festivities which is The Stamps of Life blog!

Here's how I was inspired:


Oh boy, did I have fun!  So thoroughly inspired by the fun products that I worked with.  Let's chat about my first card:


I combined the following Stamps of Life products:

patterns4hotchocolate
hotchocolate2stamp
Hot Chocolate Dies

That polka dot pattern was stamped onto the die cut mug.  Isn't it awesome.  Their images stamp like a dream!  I couldn't help diecutting the spoon in glittery silver cardstock.  The sentiment is from the hotchocolate2stamp set.

My design was inspired by CAS(E) this sketch!


This card had me chuckling:


When I saw The Stamps of Life's new corgis2stamp set, I just had to buy it.  My girl and I are simply smitten with corgis!   We work close to each other, in the heart of Amazon-zille and there are tons of people walking their dogs and quite a few Corgis.  

When I was in europe last year, we stopped into Liberty House in London and I bought THIS ornament.

This will go postal to someone with a can of cocoa.

Guess what?  I have an extra Hot Chocolate Dies set to giveaway!  A random winner will be drawn from the comments left on this post.



EDITED TO ADD:  The winner of The Stamps of Life Hot Chocolate dies, ala random.org is:

Love the dotted mug and corgi cocoa cuteness!! I know Queen Elizabeth has several corgis. I think I love them because they're "close to the ground"--like me. Happy National Cocoa Day!

OMG! Love them both, Amy! Fab designs and the corgi on the cup made me giggle. Too cute! So happy you put links and pix to the sets at the bottom. I kept seeing that marshmallow and it looked like an embossing folder on some of the cards I saw. Well, I see it WAS embossed, but with wet embossing on the stamp. xxD
