Coffee Lovers Blog Hop- Final Day!

Well, another year and another Coffee Lover's Blog Hop is coming to a close!  Did you enjoy it?  I did! I always do. 

Here is my grand finale card for the hop:  

SQUEAL!  I love me some Hello Bluebird and a Box die from Super Sponsor Lawn Fawn Box card.  And you probably noticed Ms. Claus has a cup of coffee in her hand.... of course.

This card is pretty self explanatory, the Lawn Fawn Die dies most of the work.  Aside from that, I stamped and colored the HB images with my copics.  The glittery paper is from Crafter's Companion.  The sky DP is from Lawn Fawn and the striped paper (red and white at the bottom) is from Bella Blvd.  For the trees, I only partially colored them and used a blender pen, ten I came back in with some stickles to create a snowy-like shimmer. Oh, and I used distress ink on the special delivery sentiment on the front. 

The best part of this card is that I gave this card to one of my co-workers so she could give it to her 3 year old grandson.  I think he will absolutely love it!  It is perfect for a little one!

Here is the final view where you get a close up of Ms. Claus.  I imagine she is thrilled to have her hubby out spreading joy to the children AND looking forward to enjoying a little quiet time. 

I hope you enjoyed this last hop card and the CLC Winter Hop!

More Coffee!

Good Morning Friends!  

Trinity Stamps is participating in the Kat Scrappiness Blog Hop to support The Coffee Oasis and I am participating with them.  I created a card for the hop and you can see it on the Trinity Blog, but I also wanted to show it here.  And of course I am still participating in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Fall/Winter Blog Hop so why not a two-fer?!

I love this Seasonal Sweetheart set from Trinity! You'll notice that her arms and hands are movable so you can put something under them.  That is compliments of the accompanying die set.  So cool!

What actually started this card was this fun mitten DP from photoplay.  I  loved the mittens and I knew I wanted to use them.  So I die cut them using an Avery Elle die.  Next I decided to put a layer of  vellum on top.  I set that aside and stamped and colored my image.  I paper pieced the scarf.  The coffee cup that comes with the set is perfect and I stamped the tiny little candy cane. Next I decided she needed to stand in a snow drift, so I die cut this glitter paper using the Castle Scene Builder Die landscape piece.  I added this button with twine and then wanted to add some snowflakes so pulled out my Vanilla Sugar Snowflakes Embellishment mix.  

Here is a close up shot, isn't she cute!  I love the brights, they just make this so atypical and so cute!  Oh, and I added the sentiment, I forgot to say that.  On the inside I stamped "Warm & Cozy."

She reminds me a bit of my kiddo, after going to hunt for a Christmas Tree.  We stop and get the cutie some Cocoa. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and will check out both hops and stop and donate  to The Oasis Coffee as they do such amazing deeds for youth!  You can learn more about them here  https://thecoffeeoasis.com/youth-programs/. 

Thank you for your visit today!  

Coffee Hop Day 7- Let it Snow

Happy Hop Day 7!  Tomorrow is the last day of this 2018 fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop, sniffle.  I don't know about you but it has been fun and I don't want it to end.  

Before the final day however, how about another card: 

This card features and image from Love Cynthia.  I stamped and colored with my Copics.  I paired that with this fun ornament from Pebbles Inc., meant to hold a picture.  I cut the back off and wanted to put it on this card.  Inside of that is a die cut from Super Sponsor Waffle Flower Crafts that was cut using Super Sponsor Lawn Fawn Paper.  I tied some twine on my ornament and mounted it on my white cardstock that I embossed using a Stampin' Up! embossing folder. Lastly, I used this X-cut die sentiment and cut it into some sparkle foam and added on top. 

Here is a close up of my little sweetie. 

I hope you enjoyed this card.  I will be back tomorrow for a final CLC hop post.  Thanks for the visit!

Coffee Hop Day 6- Gift Card Holder

 Happy Day 6! I am mixing it up for the Coffee Lovers Hop today with a gift card holder.  Here goes:

Do you love it?  I sure do and so does my friend who I gave it to (complete with a Starbuck's Card)  There are so many fabulous elements on this card.  First the images are from Gerda Steiner Designs.  I colored and cut them out with my Scan n' Cut.  I even added some chocolate drizzle complements of my Copics.  Underneath my cookies are the little doily from MFT Stamps.  The DP is from Pinkfresh Studio.  And last, but very not least is the die from Super Sponsor Lawn Fawn that made it all happen.  Such a fun die, I can't get enough of it!  

Here is another shot:

Whew, this hop is keeping me hoppin!  Head on over to the original post on the CLC blog for more inspiration.

Thanks for your visit.

Coffee Hop Day 5- Holly Jolly Christmas

Happy Coffee Lover's Hop Day 5!  Are you linking cards?  More importantly, are you having fun? Here is my card for Day 5. 

This card was easier to make than most of my cards!  No coloring today... though I don't complain when I do color because I love it.  This card features a whole lotta Pebbles Inc. product, almost all the ephemera and the paper.  The coffee cup is from Super Sponsor Fun Stamper's Journey.  It really was just a matter of putting all the pieces together. 

Don't you just love the bits and pieces?  The gingerbread and poinsettia... I especially love the cut and you'll notice I created some of my own lines on the lid and the lovely cup cozy in that pretty red. 

This is my super quick post for today.  

Coffee Hop Day 3- December Delights

Happy Hop Day 3!  I don't know about you, but it has been a busy weekend so far.  But we got a Christmas Tree yesterday, so that was awesome!

So let's get to it, here is my card for today:

This card features an image from Unity Stamps.  I stamped it on watercolor paper and used my Zigs to color it.  I really love the blue Poinsettias, so pretty.  After the watercolors dried, I used my Gina Marie scallop rectangle die to cut it.  I cut another white layer with a larger die.  I mounted all of these in layers with dimensional tape and then put some Martha Stewart paper behind.  Next I came in with my twine and added this chipboard bit from Pinkfresh Studio.  

Here is another shot. 

I feel pretty happy with this card, love the watercolors and the non-traditional colors.  

Well I am making this one a quick one today.  Of course linking this up to the CLC Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Coffee Hop Day 2- Merry

Happy Day 2 of the hop!  Are you having fun yet?  I haven't yet gotten to visit any blogs yet and may not today either since we are going to go look for a Christmas Tree!  Yay!  I love decorating for the holidays!

 Before that though, I want to share today's hop card.  

She is absolutely darling!  As are many of the characters from The Greeting Farm.  100% cuteness. 

For this card, I stamped my imaged and colored her with my Copics.  I love her dark hair in contrast to the red bow.  I cut her out and set her aside.  Then I pulled out this fun paper from a Recollection's paper Pad and cut it with my Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die.  Next, I put a plain white strip in and then used some of the Doodlebugs Paper and cut it with a Pretty Pink Posh die to give it the scalloped edge.  I put all that together and put it down on my base.  I added my cutie and then added the Merry sentiment from Hello Bluebird. 

Here is a close up: 

Be sure to head to the CLC blog to check out the amazing projects and join the hop! 

Enjoy your Saturday!
