New Happy Hanukkah dies from Kat Scrappiness

Well it's official! Halloween is over so everyone is ready for the holidays!

All the stores will turn green and red and Christmas music will take over the airways!

And with Christmas coming that means Hanukkah is not far off as well.

It is one of my most favorite holidays because growing up the holidays were

always about family! I have very fond memories of sharing Hannukah 

with my family and I always love lighting the menorah with my kids

as an adult. I have a beautiful menorah from a dear friend that she

gave me at my wedding and I take it out every year for Hannukah!

My friend Kathleen Driggers from Kat Scrappiness just came out with the most gorgeous

Happy Hanukkah die with matching shadow die as well!

She sent me one to play with because she knew I would love it!

This die is seriously one of the most gorgeous Hanukkah dies I have ever seen!

I used the shadow die for this tag and it really makes the words just pop!

If you celebrate Hanukkah and even if you don't you have to check

this die out! It really adds that special something to your Hanukkah cards!

She also has a similar die for Christmas you can check it out here.

I think that die will be the next on my wishlist!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

I already am!

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 

Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

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!
Head over there now and soak up some caffeinated inspiration!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop Day 6

Welcome back to the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

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

Welcome back to the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

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 ❤️

INTRODUCING my Pumpkin Spice Latte a la Rabbit Hole!

☕️🎃☕️🎃☕️🎃☕️🎃☕️

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.

I just love all the coffee and tea related sentiments in that 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 

Your Next Stamp

and 

Kat Scrappiness

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 

The Rabbit Hole Designs blog!

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

Kat Scrappiness called Embossed Edge Rectangle Dies. I used them to 

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???

There are 4 new stamp sets, coordinating dies and 1 stencil and if you love

Today on my blog I am featuring the stamp sets

Hoggy Holidays and Merry Pigmas

For my first card I used one of the pig images from 

Hoggy Holidays

A pig wearing reindeer antlers and dressed like Santa, gotta love it!
I did some ink blending with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and
stenciled some Gina K Glitz Glitter gel over the circle behind the window.
I'm also in love with the font that "Hoggy Holidays" is written in.


For my second card today I used one of the pig images in the other
pig themed stamp set, "Merry Pigmas"
Can you just imagine a pig up on skis!

I just love how this pig looks on this embossed sweater background!
It makes me think that this pig is heading back to the lodge for some
hot chocolate and smores by the fire!
