More Than Coffee

I am squeezing in another card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop :-) There are so many cool prizes, sponsors, blog candy, eye candy, and inspiration so be sure to hop along!!!! You can find my post for The Ton on their blog.

Here's a card using Lil' Inker Designs coffee sets, including the one: Coffee Cozy and Coffee Talk (from their newest release). I blended the background with Cracked Pistachio and added splatters of gold, white, and shimmer mists.

I thought it would be cool to add my name to the cup like they do in many cafe/coffee shops. :)

Check out all the cool sponsors!!!

I have some blog candy! Here's what I'm offering a lucky commenter on any of my cards for this specific blog hop! Coffee-themed stationary :-) Commenting for the blog hop ends June 12th, 11:59 PM EST.

BONUS GIVEAWAY: All my blog subscribers only will be entered to win this sentiment set, which I co-designed and is from The Ton's latest release. Leave comments on any of my blog posts from June 1 to 15, and be a subscriber, for a chance to win this. I'll announce the winner on June 17 when I return from my vacation! Also, I am giving away Mama Elephant's Photobomb stamp set on my Instagram account.

Thanks for visiting!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

You > Awesome

Here's a card using Lil' Inker Designs coffee sets, including the one: Coffee Cozy and Coffee Talk (from their newest release). The top sentiment is from Avery Elle's Geek Love.

I really tried to add some specific details for the drinks, with water droplets and glossy glass look. I added gold Pic Embellisher for the caramel drizzle on the left frappuccino. Added some splatters in the back for a messy coffee look. The sentiments look like notes.

Check out all the cool sponsors!!!

My Cup of Tea + GIVEAWAYS

Hello! I whipped up a card in less than 20 minutes this morning for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop :-) There are so many cool prizes, sponsors, blog candy, eye candy, and inspiration so be sure to hop along!!!!

I used Avery Elle's Tea Time for this card and a lot of embellishments. I threw in some Macaroons from Avery Elle's Bonjour set, too. Check out the details on this card!

Here's a closer look at the details on the cups and treats! ;-) I added some touches to them... I used Copic markers to color these cups. The macaroons were stamped with Papertrey Ink ink pads. I love them!!!

Check out all the cool sponsors!!!

The Ton is a sponsor for this hop, too! Check out the card that Jessica made featuring a cool digi stamp and some of The Ton's latest release (available for preorder today!)

I should be writing my papers...but wanted an excuse to craft some more. Pictures always look better in natural daylight, but I just took these now so they aren't that great...

Coffee Blog Hop #7

Here's another project I'm linking to the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Don't forget to comment on my first post for a chance to win some blog candy and for other details about the blog hop! :) I think a coffee bookmark is perfect for those bookworms who enjoy a warm drink when reading! ;D Can you tell that I get color-happy with all my projects? You can probably see the shimmery gold look in the second picture.

And since everyone seemed to love the bookmarks, I'll throw those in with the blog candy :)
