The <a href="http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/2019/11/2019-fall-winter-coffee-lovers-blog-hop/">Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop</a> is in full swing. I made some coffee calendars for the craft fair season using the Taylored Expressions mini calendars - love them! And, the Rabbit Hole Designs stamps made it easy to make some funny desktop calendars to bring a smile to your face all year long!<br />

I'm so excited to share a card featuring <span style="background-color: #d8dfea;">InkyStamper</span> 's newest stamp set, TP! It has some super fun sentiments and check out Ralph! How cute is this sweet mouse!! He's tucked into a roll of toilet paper and comes with a pile of poo and a plunger. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
How did this card come to life? I cut a frame and then picked out a wall-papery (it's a word....kind of-lol) looking DP. I colored Ralph up with copics, cut him out and popped him up on the frame. I also colored and cut the plunger and kept moving it around the card to find the perfect spot for it. I kept going back to using it on his head for a cute and silly hat. It fits perfectly between his ears and just makes me giggle. Isn't it awesome?!! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
And, as soon as I saw this set, I knew I would be using "Can you spare a square?" as I loved Seinfeld and that episode and phrase was a hoot! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The card was finished by adding the pile of poo to the other corner and creating a bit of texture on the "wallpaper" with some pearl stickers. It's fun to have the sweet mixed with the ornery. :)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
And, check out how this clear stamp is packaged! It's in a re-sealable package (yes!!) and, is indexed on the back!! Fabulous!!</div>

It's the last day of the hop which is super sad as I love seeing all the great cards and stamps and digis in this hop. Here is a digi I've had for almost two years and am just getting her colored up. It's Meet Fluffy Frannie from the Fluffy Besties by Sherri Baldy. Isn't she sweet?! And, the sentiment is from The Rabbit Hole Designs. :)<br />
<br />
Don't know if this will be my last card of the hop or if I'll sneak one more in before it ends. Either way, Thank You for popping by my blog and for all the kind comments.<br />

Isn't this a darling image. It's from Polkadoodles - Time for Tea!<br />
<br />
This is definitely my kind of tea party! A pot of tea and a good book! (or coffee or cocoa!) What could be better? Had fun coloring her up with copics and thought she needed bright colors. The color choices might have also been motivated by the non-stop rain that we've been having here in Kansas. We're trying not to blow away or float away... It's always an adventure in the spring.<br />

LOL *wink* It's Day 4 of the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop and thought I'd branch out a bit and build a scene with a variety of stamps. This card features Art Impressions (fence and neighbor lady), The Rabbit Hole Designs (bee and sentiments - *giggle*), A Muse Studio (clouds, grass and flower die cuts) and a to go coffee cup stamp from Planner Addict.<br />

To celebrate I brewed some hazelnut coffee (a hug in a cup!!), made some amazing scrambled eggs with asparagus, onions, mushrooms and spinach and paired them with fresh strawberries and bananas over cottage cheese. I'm not a morning person, so love mornings when there's no place to be so there's time to cook and ease into the day.

Day 2 of the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is underway and today's card features another fun stamp from The Rabbit Hole Designs. This unicorn just makes me giggle. It has some great sentiments too. It's perfect for the hop and more cards featuring stamps from this great company will be showing up soon on my blog, instagram and Facebook pages. </div>

It's back!!! It's time for the <a href="http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/2019/05/2019-spring-summer-coffee-lovers-blog-hop-2/">Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop</a>!! It just started today so jump in and play! There are always sooooo many amazing projects in this hop and super friendly people in the Facebook group and hopping along. There are awesome Super Sponsor companies who give prizes and deals through the hop and it's just all wonderful! </div>

A new stamp company who sponsors the hop is <a href="https://www.therabbitholedesigns.com/">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a> and I just ADORE their stamps! They are funny, snarky and cute!!! I've got some of their just released stamps coming in the mail today or tomorrow. Can't wait!!! Here's one I got a couple of months ago, colored up and then never made a card. Guess I was saving it for the hop! </div>

This card has a bit of distress ink, a not quite awake kitty (check out the mouse in the pocket and the bunny slippers - eek! *big grin*) and a few sequins to highlight the fun. Isn't that an adorable stamp - <a href="https://www.therabbitholedesigns.com/shop">Caffeinated: Cat</a>!! </div>

I had a little "help" with this project as my sweet kitty did NOT want me to do anything but focus on her. I reached over to pet her and she laid on my hand to try to keep me from finishing. Silly girl.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Eventually I got my hand back and was able to get back to crafting. Check out this happy chick all colored up with copics and sure to bring a smile to the recipient!<br />

And, who says you have to keep all your chicks in traditional colors?!! I love to play with bright cheery colors for bright cheery cards.<br />

And, a third card made with this same set, using the same colors as the other single chick card. Using dies to make cut-out windows, you can add some visual interest to the card by having the image overlap the window.<br />

Pickled Potpourri Designs has these awesome *1-step* digi stamps that you can print and all the "putting together" is done for you. They are only $1.49 and all you have to do is print and color. How sweet is that! I adore this image - Window Hugs. I used prismacolor pencils to color it up (see below for the colors) and added some distress oxide ink around the image to bring the "house" to life. I also used a distress ink subtly in the window to show the "paint" in the room behind the cute pup.<br />

Check it out! The posts may be few and far between but I'm still here! I did a blast from the past on this card. I pulled out the dove blender pen and chalks and colored up this sweet digital image from Pickled Potpourri Designs. Isn't it darling?! And, you can change out the sentiment on the sign to fit whatever need you want the card to fit. It just makes me happy and the chalks gave it a fun feel. I used distress ink around the image to finish it off. Love how it turned out and know that it would make someone's day to get it in the mail.<br />

Happy New Year!! It's a snowy weekend so I'm enjoying a hot cup of coffee and easing into the day before I get back to organizing my crafty space. It seems like a never ending project but hopefully am making progress.<br />
<br />
As I procrastinate, let me share this pretty thinking of you card. It uses a Penny Black stamp that has been watercolored with Peerless Watercolors and layered behind a mint green cardstock that's had an oval cut out and has been dry embossed. Isn't that a lovely accent with the dotted texture?<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!<br />

My final card for the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop features this cute stamp from Your Next Stamp's Warm Christmas Wishes stamp set. Isn't it sweet! It's popped up on a piece of kraft cardstock embossed with a Sissix embossing folder. I love the texture behind this sweet image.<br />
<br />
If you have some time today, you can still play along in this final day of the hop!<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the kind comments on my hop cards! Have a wonderful day!<br />

Oh my gosh! Look at these cute cups of cocoa!! They are part of the Lawn Fawn Love You a Latte stamp set. I stamped the cups and added the three different faces to make the trio. Quick copic coloring and popped them up in a trio of circles cut with the My Favorite Things circle trio shaker window and frame. A bit of marshmallow splash and some black twine finishes off the look. The sentiment is from the Warm Christmas Wishes stamp set by Your Next Stamp.<br />
<br />
This card makes me happy and hope you enjoyed it too!<br />
<br />
Am sad that the coffee lover's blog hop is almost over. This week has flown by!<br />
<br />
Happy hopping!<br />

It's a holly jolly Christmas with a Tea-Rex in the house... *wink* This cute Newton's Nook Tea-Rex stamp is colored up in festive Christmas colors and layered with some festive Christmas papers. Isn't this fun and silly! The warm wishes sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Love You a Latte stamp set.<br />
<br />
This card would be fun to give with a gift of tea. I was contacted recently by the Republic of Tea to share my thoughts on a tea of my choice that they would provide. I love tea so said, "heck yeah!" I decided to try the Dream by the Fire tea that is a Rooibos Tea with cinnamon and vanilla notes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I picked it because I adore cinnamon teas. Last night, I got out a pretty tea cup and brewed up a cup of this tea. Sadly, I didn't love this. I was looking for warm cinnamon notes with a touch of vanilla but another flavor overpowered the cup. I couldn't figure out the exact flavor but it was strong. I'm sure it's a lovely tea, just not a lovely tea for me. <i>**note - I shared this tea with one of my co-workers and she LOVES it!! It's definitely a wonderful tea. and, I can highly recommend Republic of Tea's Ginger Peach. It's one of my faves!**</i> I'm going to try another cup and may try this recipe:<br />

How darling is this Unity stamp - Joy to Go! I diecut the oval and colored the image with copics and added some spectrum noir glitter pen accents. Wish you could see the soft shimmer. Isn't it a pretty cup?! I think the next version, I'll color the centers of the purple poinsettias a light grey as the dark color overwhelms the flower a bit, don't you think? Or, does it look okay? A bit of marshmallow splash adds a bit of dimension to the purple dot frame die cut layer. Festive and fun!<br />
<br />
I was fortunate to win this stamp in a prize pack from Unity in a previous coffee lover's blog hop. It was soooo awesome! I have used those stamps so much and they are sooo cool! This hop has such amazingly generous super sponsors and I was thrilled to be a recipient!<br />
<br />
Happy hopping!<br />

It's the final day of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I had planned to post more earlier in the week but had some special orders to finish from the craft fairs and was on aunt duty to help my sister for a day and a half. So, as a result, I'm going to do multiple posts today as I finally had time to play last night. :)</div>

This darling stamp is from Your Next Stamp and the set is Warm Christmas Wishes. The winter joy sentiment is from A Muse Studio. How cute is this!! I just got a new doily die from Sissix that I wanted to use. How pretty is that detail and I love how green pops on purple! (Okay - confession time...I might have treated myself with an early Christmas present by getting a Big Shot Plus but hey - it came with this die so saved money there...LOL).<br />
<br />
Check back as there are four more blog hop posts coming today! Fun stuff!!<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping!<br />

This SVGCuts file is so cute and fun! And, makes the most adorable k-cup holder! I used big ole googly eyes and spritzed it with shimmer spray to add character. A red lid k-cup cocoa was the perfect finishing touch for the project. :) Fun stuff!<br />

Okay - to be fair, all year long is hot drink season for me but I do love cozy, hot drinks in the winter. A good book, a fire, a soft blankie, a kitty on my lap, a cup of coffee or hot tea or cider or cocoa - sign me up!<br />
<br />
I figure other people might like to share hot drink gifts at the holidays so I do a lot of those kinds of things as inexpensive stocking stuffers or co-worker gifts at the craft fairs that I do. This year I made a new version of my tea and chocolate pockets. Each pocket contained a Dove Chocolate and a tea packet. So fun to use my Stamps of Life teapot die along with sentiments from a variety of companies. What do you think?<br />

Here's my first card. It features the Lawn Fawn Winter Fox stamp and sentiment in the Taylored Expression Snow Globe and matching die. The images are colored with prismacolor pencils. The background is bundled sage distress oxide ink over the Newton's Nook Petite Snow Stencil. Fun stuff!<br />
<br />
Thanks for hopping by!<br />

Happy Stamping!<br />

Here's another Penny Black stamp that I just adore! Isn't it lovely popping through the oval cut-out?! I've used this stamp for sympathy, birthday, get well and notecards. Floral images are so versatile, don't you think?<br />
<br />
Happy stamping!<br />
