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:

My mojo is coming back!  I've been wanted to design my own coffee wreath.  I've seen so many variations in the hop gallery, here's how I was inspired:

I'm featuring products by Super Sponsor Reverse Confetti!  They have Three $20 Gift Cards up for grabs for this hop!  I started off my bristol panel with some distress oxide in Peacock Feathers.  The foliage is from the Reverse Confetti Christmas Candles set.  

If you didn't know, Jen of Reverse Confetti is a coffee lover and has several sets in her shop.  I used her most recent release, Drink More Coffee.  I colored them rainbow style and arranged them on the wreath. 

The sentiment is from the same set.  The Holly confetti cuts has been cut from Avocado, Brick and Premier Polar White cardstock.

I hope you all have a BREW-tiful Day!

2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day Six #2

Hello, I'm back again for project #2 for 2018 Fall  |  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I think this is my 9th card.  Today, I'm featuring New Super Sponsor Polka Dot Orchard:

I combined her Hop Freebie:  Peppermint Snowflake Mug and a sentiment from Winter Bear Digi Set.

See the foiled snowflakes from the freebie?  I sized them in two different sizes and ran them through my laminator with  Gina K Designs  |  Therm O Web - Twinkling Pink.  The sparkle is amazing, seriously.  

My pink cardstock is from Hero Arts Blush Mix.  The scalloped Circle is by Gina Marie  Designs.  Do you spy the glittery whip?  Loving the Echo Park Paper's Snowflake #3 that I picked up from The Cutting Cafe Shop.

My card was inspired by Julee Tilman's Mojo Monday Sketch #503:

I was working on a closed sketch but still very inspired by it!

Don't forget about Polka Dot Orchard's SALE:

2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day Six

Hello Hello!  Day Six of the 2018 Fall  |  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop already?  My mojo went MIA for a couple days but no worries, I had plenty of 'hop behind the scenes' to keep me busy.  My mojo is slowly returning.  Here's one card that I made earlier but ended up drastically changing things up to a design that I'm super happy with:

That girl reminds me of me...LOL.  She's by Impression Obsession and the set is called Coffee Set Valentine.  I love being able to stretch my supplies and use it for a winter design.  A big thank you to Arianna for the stamp set!  I love it!

The embossed background is by retired by Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I snuck in a foliage die that is retired by Paper Smooches.  Any ideas what it and the belly band are cut from?  A Starbucks coffee sleeve, it worked out perfectly.

I was inspired by Mojo Sketch #504 by Julee Tilman:

We hope that you join in the caffeinated fun over on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog!

25 Days of Christmas | Paper Sweeties

I'm so excited to be a part of the 25 Days of Christmas with Paper Sweeties!  I'm featuring the following sets:

But First, Coffee

Coffee, Yes Please

I combined them to create this card:

I love the look of the mixed font sentiment and the bold lines of the coffee cup.

Don't forget that Paper Sweeties is a returning Super Sponsor for the 2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop:

They're also currently having a SALE:

My card was inspired by Laurel's Saturday Sketch Challenge:

A big Thank You to Paper Sweeties for the 25 Days of Christmas invite and for being a returning Super Sponsor for the 2018 Fall |  Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop!

2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day Three

We're up to Day Three of the Fall  |  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and there is so much inspiration!  There are over 300+ projects linked up so far this morning!  

I'm sharing two projects that features Super Sponsor STAMPlorations - Zen Coffee Cup Layering CUTplorations:

Oh yes, they're gorgeous aren't they?  I decided to design two different versions so you could get a sense of all the details.

Here's one in solid black:

I teamed up the cup with the Magical Word CUTplorations.  Have you heard the saying:

Coffee:  a magical substance that turns, "Leave me alone or die" to "Good morning, Honey!"

(chuckling)

The pattern paper I used on both cards is by Echo Park Paper - Merry and Bright.

I really love how this next one turned out:

I was hoping to do a grey, silver and white combo but darn that silver glitter paper that I have...it has that plasticy layer on the back that makes it really hard to get a clean cut....no worries, I happily replaced it with a citrus green.  i love the mixed font of the Warm Winter Wishes Phrase CUTplorations.

I hope to be back this afternoon but leaving for a friend's birthday festivities soon.

Hope you have an awesome Sunday!
