Love from Seattle | Impress Cards + Crafts

I haven't forgotten about my Woodblock Wednesday features.  I hope to be on a more regular schedule starting in October.  Today, I'm sharing a card that uses the fun Love From Seattle stamp by Impress:

I teamed it up with the Washington Sayings Clear set by Impress.  These are definite must haves for Washingtonians!

Although the polka strip looks like washi, it's actually a label strip from the CTMH Cats + Bats 12x12 paper collection.

I also used the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies by Kat Scrappiness, another local Washingtonian based company!

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches:

Last project - 2019 Spring | Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

We just wrapped up the Friday FLASH Prize Party over in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group!  Such a fun group of caffeinated crafters!  The Spring | Summer Coffee Lover's blog hop?  A total success, there are so many gorgeous projects!

I'm popping in her quickly to share my last project for the hop.  I'm crossing my fingers that we can beat our 2018 Spring | Summer record of 1,355.  If not, we're definitely in 2nd place!

I did a mash of different companies for this card:

Avery Elle

Kat Scrappiness

Miss Ink Stamps

While editing these photos, I couldn't figure out why I had the Kat Scrappiness, Let's Get Caffeinated set in the picture.  Then I remembered...

I redid the photo with my stamped envelope.  I also included the dryer sheet I used for the Kat Scrappiness Coverplate.  Love using that technique!  My die sandwich:

Kat Scrappiness Peacock Backdrop Die (face up)

A2 panel

folded dryer sheet (unscented)

I ran it through my Spellbinders machine twice.  It compresses the dryer sheet onto the A2 panel and you carefully peel it away and voila!  So much LESS mess than having all those bits all over my workspace and floor!

Thanks to everyone for stopping by!

WHEW!  So I had soooo much designing today's product that is filled with Kat Scrappiness exclusive products and other products available in her shop:

Isn't that cup fabulous?  It's a Kat Scrappiness - Layered Coffee Cup Die.  The sentiment is Kat Scrappiness - Let's Get Caffeinated.

The pattern paper and oval coffee is by Echo Park Paper - Coffee collection.  I stamped out the background using words from Honey Bee Stamps' Perfect Blend stamp set.

I was inspired by the Paper Craft Crew Challenge:

I was thoroughly inspired by Tina's gorgeous card HERE.

I'm also going to link up to the 2018 Fall |  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

Hello and Happy Sunday!  Yesterday I left the house around 8 am and got home around 10:30 pm.  Super fun filled day, that started with a crafty day.  Here's my Make 'n Take that I brought:

Some of you recognize some of the items in my project.  I just picked up the sentiment and thin stripe border stamps are from Impress.  I used following Catherine Pooler inks for the plaid:

Tiki Torch  |  Mint To Be

The orange cardstock is a cut apart Memory Box note card combined with Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip cardstock.  The dies are Lil' Inker Designs' Coffee Talk 2 and Kat Scrappiness' Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The Spectrum Noirs are new to me.  Trying them out with the MnT.  Will generally use them for MnT of if I need any extra filler colors when copic coloring at home.

Here's my original haul photo from Impress: 

Here's a photo that was taken of our Crafty Group:

Thanks so much for our Hostess/Host with the mostess:  Toni + Allen.

Kimberly  |  Jen  |  Hadley  |  me  |  Novell  |  Katie

Lenae  |  Tonya  |  Laura  |  Toni  |  Cherrie

Such a fun group of friends!  We loved having Cherrie (center/bottom) join us for the first time.  There's always a ton of laughing, crafting, eating at these events.  I (surprisingly) managed to complete 5 make 'n takes...that wasn't even all the ones that were available.  I ran out of time!

I ended my evening with my non-crafty group of friends, having dinner and getting home late (for a girl that wakes up at 3 am!).

Today is a 3k walk benefiting pediatric brain tumor research.  I hope that you're having a great weekend!

Final Day of the 2018 Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (proj 8) Got Coffee?

Happy June!  It's the final day of the 2018 Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  It has been so fun seeing all of the wonderful projects that have linked up!  Hopefully I'll have a couple of cards to share with you today.  Here's the first one that features two Super Sponsors, first up is Kat Scrappiness:

Don't you love her Layered Coffee Cup Die and "Got Coffee" sentiment?  I don't know about you but I think strawberries scream summer.  The paper on the cups is by Pebbles and the gingham is MFT.

Check out my envelope art, those images are by Stampin Funn.

I even stamped up the back of my card, oh my, that cracks me UP.

I can't wait to hop around more today!
