Magic Potion Coffee with TPD Stamps for Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop

We're winding up the September stamp release at Two Paper Divas with a store wide sale in celebration of the Fall Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop.  A discount of 25% will be taken off at checkout so if you've got a wishlist, now's the time to stock up.

Since we're talking about coffee, I've got an unusual project today that spotlights that magic bean, that juice that gets my day jumping..... yes, indeed, coffee is a magic potion for many of us, wouldn't you say?

I wanted to create a Halloween card so I've taken a page from a used Harry Potter paperback that I picked up specifically for re-purposing.  I've paired it with Graphic 45 Rare Oddities papers to spotlight that magic potion..... coffee!  I'm using the Afternoon Tea stamp which is from the newest release.  Notice how my theme ties everything together?  Coffee sitting on books, a book shelf in the background and a page from a book.  I'm an avid reader as well so if you have a good book recommendation, I'm all ears.

It is also no coincidence that this page is from the Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets book.  The chapter title is The Polyjuice Potion.  The story line is when Professor Dumbledore's bird, Fawkes, caught on fire.  My polyjuice potion is coffee.  It turns me into a human, haha!  I've also distressed my book page and added splatters as well.  And, we have a bird in the background which ties to the story line also.   This is a large card at 5"x 7" and could easily be used as a display piece.

You can create a new project and join the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop as well.   Get the details here.   Two Paper Divas is a sponsor and is giving away prizes all week.  Details can be found on their blog.

New Halloween Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

Welcome to the newest edition of the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge!

Challenge #33 - Halloween

Oct. 14 - Oct. 20

There are so many fun and amazing Halloween paper products on the market right now.  I am such a paper addict and as you can imagine, I have several of those collections in my crafty domain at this very moment.  It was a total no-brainer deciding which paper collection I would use to feature the new Skittles release aptly titled Witches Brew; the Graphic 45 Rare Oddities collection.  It's the perfect companion for the newest Skittles colors, Frog, Witch and Pumpkin.  For goodness sake,  there's even tiny little potion bottles that say Witches Brew and Frog!

Another first for me today.... I made my first French Fry box.  I broke in my Cricut Cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 and used my Explore to cut these G45 papers.  

I fussy cut those little potion bottles and even "burned" my white tulle from The Ribbon Resource by melting it a bit with my heat embossing tool, so it would resemble cobwebs.  It looks pretty cool in person.  The Witches Brew Skittles are scattered about on my box and perfectly match the colors of my paper... or is it the other way around?  The paper matches the Skittles?  Haha.  Regardless, I'm sure there's room in this box for some spooky treats.  My teenager will love getting his favorite Halloween candy in this super cool box.

Did you know that the new Skittles release, Witches Brew is almost sold out?  Everyone is going nuts for these bubbly little gems and if you hurry, you might snag one of the few remaining sets.   Carri has 3 different price options for this set, starting at a price point of $3.75 for the 3 pk set.  That includes free USA shipping and PAYPAL accepted.  But, you better hurry.
