Day 4 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with Stamplorations

Welcome to day 4 of the Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop, hosted by the ever so lovely, Amy Tsuruta.  Today's project is brought to you, courtesy of Stamplorations stamps and dies, plus a few of my other favorite crafty toys.  You'll find the full supply list below.

For my project today, I chose a monochromatic theme.  I don't have too much monochromatic in my crafty repertoire.  In fact, it was a struggle to keep from adding a little pop of red for those two little latte love birds.  I'm sure it would have looked just as adorable, but I wanted to challenge myself to stick with the theme. Aren't those coffee cup too fun?  It's designed by my crafty pal, Becca Cruger for Stamplorations and is a brand new stamp set that you simply MUST have called,

"A Cuppa Love"!  

One thing that I discovered about doing a monochromatic theme is, it takes a lot of guess work out of the equation.  This came together rather quickly which was an added bonus.  Some paint splattered snow, a little stenciling, a circle punched moon and snowy die cut hills, and that's a wrap!

Join the Winter blog hop now and link up your newly created coffee, tea or cocoa winter themed project.  There are so many wonderful sponsors giving prizes and it's a total blast!

Two Paper Divas and Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

The time has come to bid farewell to the lovely ladies at Two Paper Divas Stamps.  They are retiring!  They're closing their store by years end and everything is on a final markdown at 50% off at checkout.  However, they will continue to keep their blog open to continue to share their inspiring projects.

This is my final project today, for Two Paper Divas.  I'm using one of their retired sets for the Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop and I'm also using the Sunday Sip & Share Sketch from Kerry's feature at coffeelovingcardmakers.com.  Because Melissa and Gayla from TPD have been such wonderful sponsors in the past for the quarterly blog hops at CLC, I wanted to showcase some of their beverage stamps that are still available.  If you've been wanting to add to your coffee, cocoa or tea stamps, you won't find a better deal with the 50% off sale.  They would make excellent Christmas gifts for your crafty friends and family too!

So scroll down and check out Kerry's sketch, if you'd like to play for fun and link up to the hop below, then take a look at some stamps that I've picked out for you today, with clickable links if you'd like to purchase before they're gone for good.

Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop with Adornit and WRMK Fused Reusable Gift Card Holder

It's Day 2 of the Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop and I'm sharing an Adornit project that also features my WRMK Fuse tool.  (P.S....Everything you see is on sale!)

I've colored up the new Adornit Coffee Time Art Play Paintables with my Adornit watercolor pencils and am also using new Adornit scrapbook Christmas papers.  See the full supply list at the end of this post with affiliate shopping links, if you'd like to play with these fun "toys"!

I've put together a 30 second Flip video so you can see how this was made, including an inner bumper and a self guiding tab which allows the gift card to peek out at an angle and easily guide it in place.  Because, who doesn't love seeing a gift card peeking out?

I really wanted to preserve this and make it reusable because I'm a firm believer in paying it forward.  I plan on gifting this to someone special and I will be sure to encourage my friend to re-use this and do the same in the future.  I thought it might be cool to put a hashtag on the back and have a giant blank sticker so every time it's used, the recipient can note the date and location of where they're from, then upload a pic with the hashtag.  Remember "Where's Waldo?".  Something like that.

Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop Day 1

You all know that this chic loves her coffee, so I'll be linking up to the Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop that starts today.  It's all about papercrafters who loves cardmaking and also enjoy their hot beverages; coffee, cocoa and/or tea.  Hey, we all have our vices and mine is coffee.  And, paper,  I do have a thing for paper.

For my project today, I've done some hand lettering and designed a fun glossy paper ornament to showcase my lettering.  I've also added  my own hand drawn tiny red cup.  Who doesn't love a red cup full of coffee?!  I've included a few affiliate links below, if you'd like to get your hands on some of the same products I'm using today.

I'm keeping this project fairly simple.  Hand lettering with my Tombow calligraphy pen, (from Blitsy.com) glossy accents and sprinkled Doodlebug Designs Lily White Sugar Coating.  Just a bit around the edges, while the glossy accents are still wet.

Just find a large glass and draw a circle with a black marker and cut out the shape.  Before covering it in Glossy Accents, I ran it through my Xyron Creative Station.  It's easier to work with while adhered to sticker paper.  Once the glossy accents are dry, just lift off and stick it onto your card.

I also drew and cut the ornament top and adhered the bottom edge to the back of my sticker.  I trimmed out the inside so I could run string through my ornament top and added a bow.  For the base, I inked a woodgrain embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug. Easy peasy!
