  • Unleash the Joy

    Unleash the Joy

    Hey everyone, a brand new month and I am excited because to me, when it is September it is fall LOL but I know some of you might feel this way about the end of summer.

    I have used this fun stamp called Coffee is Not Enough from Unity Isn’t she fun. Can. you relate to her some days?

    I paired her with the Butter My Biscuit paper pack which is also from Unity. Have you ever used their papers? They are a nice thick, cardstock. So many fun paper packs to choose from too.

    After coloring her with copics I mounted her on foam squares, but tucking some messy thread under as well, just to further the ‘foggy/messy brain’ feeling haha.

    That’s all from me today. But I am curious are you team summer or team fall? 

  • I like big mugs

    I like big mugs

    It has been so hot here that I have been making iced coffee’s at home to have something besides water. I have absolutely been making them big and in my water tumblers LOL Thus… this card is not wrong ha!

    I have used the Art Impressions Stay Hydrated Clear Stamps and Dies isn’t it fun?!

    I had created my Echo Park DT assignment using the Here Comes Fall collection and it was still out so I decided, since I haven’t paper pieced in awhile, it was time. It’s a great way to use up scraps.

    For the sentiment, it was one that I had made and printed up on my computer. I mounted both the sentiment and image on foam squares for some dimension.

    So tell me, what size is your coffee?

  • Just One More Coffee

    Just One More Coffee

    Hey everyone, happy August! I hope that you have had a great summer so far. I have been enjoying the fruits of my labor (literally) as my blueberry bushes have been producing more than they ever have!

    Anyways, it’s coffee time. LOL. I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today. I feel like this one is appropriate today as in BC we had a long weekend so yesterday was a holiday and I suspect there may be a few people needing their coffee this morning ha!

    For my card I have used my new goodies from Crafty Stamp Co. A little background, I was thinking of my youngest daughter when I made this. She loves her coffee, her cats and pink so I just may have to send this to her (all the way to Germany!)

    I just layered the papers until I liked the look then added some stitching. After coloring the image with copics I fussy cut and mounted on foam squares. I did add the zzzs using an old CTMH alphabet stamp.

  • Mom’s Kitchen

    Mom’s Kitchen

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today. I am sharing a coffee card, but it should be an iced coffee as it is so hot here this week – which does give me a good excuse to hide out in my craft room where it is cooler LOL

    For my card this week I have once again used the Spill the Coffee, Darlin’ stamp set from Unity – which, if you don’t have it yet, be sure to grab it while it is on sale! I created a project for my daughter using the Mom’s Kitchen collection by Echo Park for my daughter and while the paper was out I thought it worked well with this image.

    After layering the papers and stickers I finished it off with some stitching. I then coloured her and mounted with foam squares for dimension.

    That’s it for today, I am off to find some coolness… now be sure to grab the stamp set while it is on sale!

  • Rise & Shine

    Rise & Shine

    I’m up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog today with my second card for this month’s theme – which is sunshine

    I took a little different view of it for this card. I was thinking of having coffee and watching the sun rise.

    I love these Unity Papers Chickens & Chintz – all the elements of morning the roosters, the newsprint and then I added the coffee using die cut mugs using a Honey Bee Stamps die. The Stamped sentiment and image on the one mug are from Echo Park.

    I added a button for some interest and them mounted the mugs using foam squares. Thankfully this card went together quite easily because I didn’t have the energy or brainpower to struggle this time LOL

  • A Little Sunshine

    A Little Sunshine

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today. It is a new month so there’s a new theme up and this month it is Sunshine!

    For my card I reached for the You Are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park which is fitting don’t you think?

    The mug is a die from Honey Bee Stamps. I stencilled the sun on it using a stencil from Echo Park. I then added the shine sticker and a heart sticker and of course some staples. I mounted the mug on foam squares and added a little white heart for steam.

    I would love to see your sunshine themed coffee cards. Remember… iced coffee/ iced tea counts…

  • Coffee Date with Amy

    Coffee Date with Amy

    Hey everyone, happy Friday! I am having a coffee date with Amy today. Both of us have played along with this month’s theme at Lattes & Layers which is Bloom. To make things even more exciting…Amy is having a giveaway 😀 you’ll have to check out her Instagram for more information on that. 

    For my card, I reached for the Bailey Girl stamp set from Unity (she’s ON SALE right now), there’s just something about her… IYKYK

    So many things I love about this card. I love the fun papers from Stampin Up, paper piecing (I would totally wear that hoodie) and fussy cutting

    I mounted here on foam squares for some dimension.

    Now don’t forget to check out Amy’s card HERE

    And be sure to grab this stamp set while it is on sale.

  • Diminish All Your Troubles

    Diminish All Your Troubles

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today with a new monthly theme challenge and this one is Bloom.

    I dug into some Stampin Up Papers and paired it with an old Papertrey Ink Stamp set. This stamp set has survived many purges over the years as I am a tea drinker and couldn’t bear to get rid of it.

    I mounted the teapot and sentiment on foam squares.

    Now if this inspires you at all, would love to see how. Come on over and play

  • I find my happiness

    I find my happiness

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today with a new theme challenge for the Lattes & Layers. This month is all about rainbows.

    Looking for inspiration? You could incorporate Rainbow by using:
    • an actual rainbow in your design
    • a rainbow of layered colors or patterned papers
    • ombré or tone-on-tone color palettes
    • mugs, cups, or drink elements with colorful accents

    I have used the You Are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park. The mug is from the I Like Big Cups stamp set by Creative Worship stamps, and the sentiment is from the You Are My Sunshine: Life Is Good Stamp Set also from Echo Park

    Now come and play along and let me see those rainbows!

  • My Coffee is Strong

    My Coffee is Strong

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today with the final post for the ‘GREEN’ challenge. Since we are still scraping out windows in the morning I decided that the Emerson Girl (Angiegirl from Unity) would be a good image to use LOL. I paired here with the Hay There papers (also from Unity)

    I had fun paper piecing her, something I used to do all the time. I thought the denim paper was perfect for her pants, don’t you think? I fussy cut her out and mounted on foam squares for some dimension

    The sentiment is from the Latte Life Snippets – lots of great coffee sayings in this collection.
