Good Morning Spring

Hello and welcome to Lisa's ICU! I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog today and this week is a very special week for us caffeinated cardmakers! The Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop is going on until May 29th! There are over 70 sponsors for this hop offering up amazing prizes and offering discounts and sales in their shops! It's a ton of caffeinated fun for everyone involved! You can click on this link to go the main page of the hop for all the details and to link up your projects!

Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

My card for today is full of flowers and watercolor! I recently won a gift certificate to 

Polka Dot Orchard and lucky for me they are one of the Super Sponsors of the Coffee Lover's Hop.

I used my GC to purchase the Good Morning Spring digital stamp. This stamp has the most beautiful flower on a to go coffee cup with some sweet sentiments to match.  

I printed the coffee cup image on watercolor paper and colored it with my Karin markers. I cut it out with my scan n cut and placed it on to a watercolored background. I sent the background through the printer to add my sentiment and it looks so good against the blue! I finished off my card with some Clear Droplets from Kat Scrappiness (another Coffee Lovers Hop Super Sponsor).

I am so happy with the way this card came out! The flower is so bright and pretty!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll check out the Coffee Lover's Hop if you haven't already! You have until the 29th to link up as many caffeinated projects as you want! 

I'm enjoying creating all of my caffeinated goodness this week!

Have a great day, I already am!

Just Brew It

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog with a bright and cheery coffee card! It just so happens that this week the Coffee Loving Cardmakers are celebrating their 

Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop and Kat Scrappiness is a returning Super Sponsor for this event!

I just love making coffee themed cards and Kat Scrappiness has a whole section in their shop with coffee related stamps, dies, sequins and more! They even have realistic looking 

Coffee Beans for shaker cards or embellishments! Check these out!!!

For my card today I wanted to make a bright and cheery coffee card so I grabbed some happy Doodlebug Simply Spring patterned paper and got to work! I usually gravitate toward the color pink when I'm making cards but today the blues and yellows caught my eye. I used the Layered Coffee Cup Die and cut out the cover and koozy using the cute little bumble bee/butterfly (not sure) patterned paper. For the base of the cup I used some light blue paper and embossed it with a polka dot embossing folder.  Next I matted this happy cup on to a white panel cut with the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die and another yellow plaid panel with a larger Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die. Finally I added some blue and yellow confetti around the cup using the Party Confetti Sprinkles. 

For the sentiment at the bottom I used a stamp from Jaded Blossom.

I just love how this card came out, it just makes me happy!

Head over to Kat Scrappiness to check out all of these fun coffee themed products plus so much more! Lucky for you Kat is having a Memorial Day Sale through May 29th and you can save 15% sitewide using code MEMDAY2020.

Orders of $50 and more will receive a FREE sample pack of Kat's Star Spangled Sprinkles!

I don't know about you but this whole quarantine thing has got me going a little batty so this hop will be a much needed distraction for the next week! There will be tons of inspiration not to mention over 70 super sponsors and lots and lots of prizes! The hop goes through May 29th and the winners will be drawn on participation rather than commenting this time. For all of the Super Sponsors and details please visit the CLC hop post here:

Today I'm sharing my first card as a Coffee Loving Cardmaker design team member and I've used some super cute products from Paper Sweeties!

Paper Sweeties is a returning Super Sponsor to the hop and they will be giving away a gift certificate to their shop as a prize!
Paper Sweeties also has a special sale going on this month for their dolls and outfits:

I wanted my card to have a happy and bright background so I started by stenciling some clouds and a grassy hill onto some Bristol Smooth card stock. I matted the stenciled panel on to some pretty Doodlebug patterned paper.

For the focus of my card I used the adorable Madison doll stamp and she is dressed up for summer with her pedal pushers, adorable bonnet and cute flip flops! Her outfit is from the Aloha stamp set and is stamped on some super cute Doodlebug patterned paper! Her super sized iced coffee cup is from the Coffee, Yes Please stamp set and matching Sweet Cuts! I just love how everything coordinates in the plaid pattern. My sentiment is from the Sweet Mini set called Life Begins After Coffee.

I just love how this card came together.  It has a warm summery feel and it just makes me happy!
