Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 8


Raise your hand if you need a 
Cafe'-Mocha-Vodka-Valium-Latte'


Welcome to the final day of the 


I have loved being a part of this fun hop as I'm sure you all have been too!
Amy has done an amazing job putting it all together and the 
Super Sponsors have been incredibly generous!


I wanted to wrap up the hop with a funny card showcasing the
Caffeinated Owl from Super Sponsor, The Rabbit Hole Designs
That hilarious sentiment on the card was computer generated and cut
out with the Zig Zag Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness.
It's a sentiment that I have seen over the years floating around the internet
that I thought was absolutely perfect to pair with these wide
eyed caffeinated critters!
I just love the Gina Marie Coffee Stencil for backgrounds
and I thought it was the perfect detail for this card!


Here is a closeup at that crazy sentiment that just makes me laugh!
Feel free to order one at your favorite coffee shop today!




Happy Friday everyone and I'll see you back soon with some
more caffeinated craftiness here on the blog!

Enjoy your day, I already am!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 7


Bring on day 7 of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! 
Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop
Today I’m combining 2 stamp sets from Super Sponsor Paper Smooches for this 
flirty floral card! I’m just in love with this patterned paper!

The sentiment is from the Caffeinated Two stamp set and the

tea cup is from the Healty Vibes stamp set with matching dies.
☕️🌼☕️💙☕️💚
I finished the card off with some beautiful Yellow Jewels from Kat Scrappiness!

Have you hopped along yet and more importantly have you linked up a 
project yet? So many generous sponsors and so much fun!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop Day 6


Are you enjoying the hop so far? So much inspiration and so many 
Super Sponsors! Kudos to Amy for hosting such a successful hop once again!

Today I have a clean and simple card to share with you that was actually
inspired by a paper pack. I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and I 
picked up a paper pack by The Paper Studio that was Christmas 
themed called Have a Cozy Christmas.


When I got home and really looked through the pack I found the 
most wonderful piece of paper that I fell in love with!
It had this rustic circular design that said Have a Cozy Christmas.
I immediately thought it would go great on a coffee themed card for the hop.

I included a sweet cup of coffee from an old Fiskars stamp set called Latte Love.
I didn't stamp the heart in the middle of the cup, instead I replaced it with
a holly berry stamp to make it holiday themed.
Although the holly berry image isn't that clear, I thought it 
was the perfect touch to this simple cup.

For an extra cozy feel I laid out my design on a cozy sweater 
embossed background.
Cable knit sweaters hold a special place in my heart because
my Mom has been knitting them for years.
Every winter she makes my Dad an Irish Fisherman's sweater
with that pattern.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Enjoy your day, I already am!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 5


There are over 600 entries to date so it looks like everyone is 
well caffeinated and getting crafty this week!

For today's project I have a tag to share with you.
I was browsing YouTube looking for inspiration and I came across
a video from last year by Nichol Spohr. She made the cutest coffee cup birthday cards
and they looked so realistic so I wanted to give it a try.
You can see her awesome video here.

She made very large birthday cards with faux foam on top but
since I wanted to make a tag I chose smaller dies and scaled the
project down a bit.

I started with the Sugar Pea Designs Coffee To Go Cup dies.
I used Bristol Smooth Cardstock so I could do some ink blending
on the cup base. I used Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Inks
and then spritzed with water for a more realistic look.
For the dome piece of the cup I sponged on a little Tumbled Glass Distress ink
to give a very slight appearance of glass.
For the foam on top I used a super cool product called a Snow Marker.
You just apply the white liquid and then blast it with your heat tool
and like magic you have faux snow (or in this case.... foam)!
How cool is that? I also loved Nichol's idea to add little Coffee Tiny Bubbles
from Honey Bee Stamps for that little extra something on the foam.

Here is a closeup of all that foam and coffee bubble goodness:



For the word "latte" on top of the cup I used the Coffee Words Sugarcuts dies
from Sugar Pea Designs cut from gold foil.
I added a red foil heart under the word because as Nichol said,
a little bit of red just pops out and I couldn't agree more!

For the base of my tag I cut out some vellum using the Stitched Duo 3 dies 
from Pretty Pink Posh. I've always loved the rounded top of that die!
I took  Gathered Twigs Distress ink and sponged it over a 
Gina Marie Coffee Bean Stencil to give the tag some detail.

And last but not least is my cute little heart charm hanging from the twine.
I used the same heart from the tag in red foil and I 
sandwiched my twine in between two of them to look like a charm.
I just love that extra added touch!

I'm not gonna lie, this is probably my most favorite 
project yet for this hop!
Thank you Nichol for the inspiration and I'll see you soon
with another entry for the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Have a great day, I already am!
☕️Lisa ❤️

For day 4 of the hop I decided to use the stamp set Pumpkin Friends.
Now I know these pumpkins are not from a caffeinated critter set
but this is pumpkin season and they were the perfect addition to my
Pumpkin Spice Latte!
I used the Coffee Cup Fold It Die from The Stamps of Life and decorated
it with fun orange polka dotted paper and this super cute Rabbit Hole pumpkin!
The #pumpkineverything sentiment is from the Pumpkin Friends stamp set
and the sentiment at the top of the cup is from the Perfectly Blended stamp set.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 3


Welcome to day 3 of the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
I am having so much fun making coffee themed cards for the hop.
I have a whole basket full of coffee themed stamps and dies and the 
possibilities are endless!

2 of the Super Sponsors for this hop are 
and 

Today I decided to use the stamp set called Latte Happy Vibes
from Your Next Stamp. The first time I saw that fun coffee cup and donut
on that skateboard I knew I had to have them! They are having so 
much fun and I couldn't wait to get them on to a card!

I colored them up with my Copic markers and used the 
matching dies to cut them out.
Next I took the largest die from the Kat Scrappiness Zig Zag Rectangle dies
and cut out a panel using the Your Next Stamp Crazy For Coffee 
patterned paper pack.  That coffee bean pattern was perfect for this card!
I used a smaller die from the Zig Zag Rectangle dies to cut a piece of kraft
paper and pop my image up on and also
stamp my sentiment from the Latte Happy Vibes set as well.
I tilted that panel diagonally to match the fun motion of the skateboard.

Last but not least I decorated the front panel with some 
Kat Scrappiness Teal Jewels!

Thank so much for stopping by today
and enjoy the rest of the hop!
I'll be back tomorrow with a card for 

Have a great day, I already am!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 2



Welcome to day 2 of the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
Are you hopping along to see all of the wonderful creations?
That's my plan today! Today I am using a gorgeous image from Super Sponsor
 Gracielle Designs for my card. It is called Stay Strong and can really be colored
to fit any holiday or theme. Gracielle's images are gorgeous and they really
lend themselves to beautiful watercoloring. 
I used my Zig Clean ColorMarkers to color up this beauty.

I also used a die set from Super Sponsor
cut out the burlap behind the main image and the rectangle that
I stamped the sentiment on. These dies are unique in that they leave a raised
edge on the border of the paper. It's easier to see on the sentiment panel in
person, a little more difficult in pictures. I also included lots of Kat Scrappiness
Orange Jewels around my card to give it lots of shine!

And finally for the sentiment I used another stamp set from Super Sponsor
Paper Sweeties. They are releasing a stamp set on the 14th of this month
called Truck Add-on: Occasions. This set has holiday themed images
and some wonderful sentiments including the Pumpkin Spice one on my card.

My goal is to try and make at least one card every day during the hop but
life doesn't always go as planned......... have you noticed that???
🤪☕️🤪☕️🤪☕️🤪

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Enjoy your day, I already am!

2018 Fall / Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop


Welcome CRAFTY COFFEE lovers to the 2018 Fall / Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!
 Kat Scrappiness is participating in the hop once again and I have created a 
coffee themed shaker card to join in the fun!


My card features the Kat Scrappiness  Layered Coffee Cup Die front and center and I cut the coffee cup directly out of the front panel so I could back it with acetate and make a shaker card out of it.
I filled the shaker well with Caramel Latte and Espresso sequin mixes, 
both of which are available in the Kat Scrappiness store.
For the adorable focal point I chose the adorable Gerda Steiner stamp 
called Warm fuzzies! I just love that fuzzy little bear holding his coffee / cocoa mug!
The sentiment on top of the card is from the same stamp set.
I think shaker cards just might be my favorite type of card to make.
It's so much fun picking out just the right shaker bits to go in the card.


Kat Scrappiness is giving away a gift pack of products including (stamps, dies, sequins, etc.)
with a minimum value of $35.00 to one lucky hopper!
