Finally I get a chance to join in all the fun with all the crazy coffee obsessed crafters out there!! So many entries already and all so creative. You really must have a look, they are quite spectacular!!
Congratulations to Amy and Chaitali for creating yet another incredible hop. Must be wonderful for them to see so many people joining in again and again..and again!
So, here is my first entry to the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I must let you know something firstly. I don't actually drink coffee...or tea...or water. Strange I know but I do love the smell of brewing coffee, its just the taste that gets me. Maybe I just haven't tried the right brand or type of coffee yet I hear you say.......
I have a fantastic Paper Smooches stamp set ('Cyber Cafe') which is packed with gorgeous coffee related goodies. There is a tiny coffee mug that I fell in love with and just knew I had to use it more than once:
I made a smaller than normal card base (3.5 x 3.5) and used the coffee mug stamp and matching steam to create the background. I stamped the sentiment on a small square of white CS and cut out another square in black, slightly larger. These were glued together and then popped up on foam tape. Nice and simple!
Since I made a small card (to go with the tiny coffee mug stamp), I'm going to link this to the CASology Challenge - Week # 135 where their theme is:
And for the first time, I'm going to enter the Paper Smooches - Spark Challenge - Anything Goes (Wk 1). They require you to use at least one Paper Smooches product on your project. Lucky my card is ALL Paper Smooches!!
One more card to post tonight. Have so many tv programmes to catch up on. The Walking Dead and Fortitude are on tonight, might have to squeeze them in before I jump into bed, although I may find it hard to sleep.....
Take care
Shona

ReplyDeleteShona, I love this Paper Smooches set and your mini coffee card is perfect for all the challenges you entered! I think coffee is an acquired taste...I really like the way it wakes me up more than I like the taste, to be honest! I put in so much milk and sugar it is almost like chocolate ,ilk, too -- that helps! :) Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!

ReplyDeletegreat idea to making the DP
I love the pop color of that mug and nice sentiment in the middle of your card...
Sweet coffe card Shona (my card is number 151 and 301 maybe you like to visiting me back?)
I think we have a bit similar idea to put the sentiment in the middle and cover with black paper under the main sentiment...LOL
