The Coffee Lover's Bloghop Fall/Winter Day Four

For Day Four of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop, I used the Sizzix Impresslits, Thanks a Latte with some ink swiping, a few Nuvo drops, and a coffee button with some Copic accents from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow!

Welcome to Spring

Double Trouble Challenge #52 = One spring item using a punch or die or fussy cut, optional to add a bee or honeycomb, and finally you can share with Bitten by the Bug (no fussy cutting for them though).

My die cut is Paper Cut Bird from Sizzix. I had to use two different die cutting machines. First, I used my Big Shot and even with the Precision Base and many pass throughs, it wasn't cut all the way. So, off to my Gemini Jr. and with the added metal shim it went through. The little bee is from an Inkadoo set called Patterned Birds & Bugs. I added a bit of twine, a ribbon, and some Nuvo drops to say welcome to spring!

Thanks for stopping by!

Say Cheese and Smile

Challenge #48 on the Double Trouble Challenge blog Say Cheese. Create something that makes you smile. Well, that would be my friends!

Also, you can use the sketch from Atlantic Heart Sketches #353. The first one I did was posted on Instagram, (sometimes I'm just too lazy to blog, LOL!) but this one I will post here on my blog.

The little camera is from Courture Creations, the frames were created using Sizzix Slide Mounts, the film strip came from a free download from Pixabay, the stencil is from Clarity Stamp, laughing women from Art Impressions colored with Copics and colored pencils, and I created the sentiment on my computer. For a final touch, I added some tiny enamel hearts. Love my friends and they DO make me smile.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add:  

One of the Top Three!

 

Stay Cozy

For the last day of the Coffee Lovers Blog hop, I started with a Sizzix Alterations embossing folder that I swiped with Delicata Golden Glitz.

The coffee cup and sentiment are from Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags. That pretty ribbon is from Paper Sweeties, and the little cup is from my stash.



Thanks for stopping by, and thank you Amy and all the wonderful sponsors. And, a very special thanks to all of you who took the time to visit and leave a comment.

Day Six Coffee Lover's Bloghop

For day six of the Coffee Lover's Bloghop, I started with paper from Bo Bunny.

I topped that with the Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix folder, The cup is from From the Heart - World's Best Coffee, and I colored it with Chameleon Colored Pencils. The sentiment comes from Ranger's Letter It Greetings.

Glad you stopped by. Leave me a comment if you have the time. I always appreciate knowing that someone looked at my page :)

Day Four Coffee Lover's Bloghop

For day four of the Coffee Lover's Bloghop, I thought I'd play on Kraft and do something a bit different.

I combined the Sizzix, Tim Holtz Alterations Cityscape, the Lawn Fawn Peekaboo for the frame, Sizzix, Tim Holtz Embossing folder for the background, and Powder Puff Chalk Inks. The sentiment is from Stampabilities.

Nice to have you take the time to visit.
I hope you will leave a comment.

Day Three Coffee Lover's Bloghop

For day three of the Coffee Lover's Bloghop, I am choosing an art journal page that I did just for fun using some Tim Holtz die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by.
I love reading your comments.

Fall Leaves with Torn Edges and Twine

The optional twist this week over at The Outlawz, Twisted Thursday, is Torn Edges/Twine. Our generous sponsor this month is The Greeting Farm. Do pop over and see some of the wonderful products they have available for your crafting needs.

The paper with torn edges was created using shaving cream and Distress Inks. The leaves, from Sizzix, were cut from a printed paper and then rubbed with Distress inks and sprayed with Shimmer. The clear water droplets are Nuvo Drops.

Just for fun, here is another card that I made using those fall leaves, also with a shaving cream background. The embossed veins show up more clearly on a solid piece of paper.

Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy reading your comments!

But First, Coffee!

Another card for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. What fun to finally be able to use all of the coffee related stamps and dies I have accumulated.

I cut out the cup using a Sizzix die and ran the band through an embossing folder. Went over all with Distress inks and backed with darker paper. I popped it up over DCWV Latte stack paper that I added a tiny bit of color with Prismacolor color pencils and then Nuvo Crystal Drops. The final step was to add a pretty bow.

Also shared with Really Reasonable Ribbon
