Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop #3

Hi Friends and Stampers,

Two posts, One day, and they are all about the Coffee.  I love it!  This is my third submission to the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.   I hope you have time to Hop around and see all the wonderful Coffee Cards and projects out there.  Or you could make your own and submit it for a chance to win a prize!

This time I wanted to make something clean and simple.  And Summery but Masculine, lol.

So How did I do? Would you give this card to a guy?  Even though it's intended to be masculine, it is so me.  I say this nearly every day while the kids are hopping around all chipper and my husband is talking to me.....I NEED SOME COFFEE FIRST. lol.  

Again I am using my Coffee First set from Create A Smile.  I am super stoked that I have made three cards from this set so far.  All different looking and I do love these images. On top of the PTI paper I used, I placed a stencil called Mini Splats from The Crafters Workshop - it's available on Amazon.  I Sponged Two Distress Inks, Tea Dye and Brushed Corduroy over the stencil and stamped the words with MFT Colorbox Black Licorice - love the coverage this gives.  I stamped my Coffee Cup with Memento Tuxedo Black (Copic Friendly) and Colored up my Cup with Copics.  

I'm submitting to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Make it Masculine. 

Thanks for Stopping By...

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, #2

Hi Friends and Stampers,

I'm having a lot of fun making Coffee Cards this weekend, lol.   This is my Second Card I made the the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. For my second Coffee Card, I decided to have some fun with the Create A Smile - Coffee First set again. I love this set and I'm so excited I got to use it again.  

I am so addicted to Shaker Cards now, I almost want every one of my cards to be a shaker card now, lol.  I gathered some fun colored sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I made my own Coffee Mix with two sizes of Espresso, small Gold, Two sizes of Sand, small Metallic and added some Silver Metallic Pop Microbeads. I used my MFT Die-Namics Stitched Circle Stax  and MFT colorbox Black Licorice ink. I colored my Latte with my Copic Markers.  The Papers are Bo-Bunny - Barefoot & Bliss Collection. 

I'm using the MFT Card Sketch for this week.
