Summer 2016 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop-Day 1, Card 1!!

Today is the start of the Summer 2016 Coffee Lovers BlogHop!  Woo Hoo!  If you are new to the hop, strap yourself in... it's quite a ride!  A week of fun and frolic, prizes and friendship.  And it's not JUST about coffee... you can make one or more coffee, tea, or hot cocoa related cards with a Summery theme; link up to the hop; and you might win some awesome prizes from one or more of the awesome sponsors of the Hop!  So let's get started!

 Paper Sweeties is a proud SUPER SPONSOR ($25 gift certificate) and FLASH PRIZE SPONSOR ($25 sequin prize package)!  AND, we are offering a 10% off entire full prize order June 17th - 24th using coupon code:  coffeehop  (discount not applicable on retiring soon, sale or gift certificates).

 

 

And here is the card I made using Paper Sweeties awesome products:

 

If you're looking for coffee/cocoa/tea stamps, stop on over to the Paper Sweeties website because there are quite a few to choose from as well as bunches of other really Sweet Stuff!  This card is full of it!

 

The coffee set I used here is called Coffee, Yes Please for the cup and the sentiment and the Coffee, Yes Please Sweet Cuts for the steam.

 

I stamped and embossed this adorable sentiment from Coffee, Yes Please on the tag from the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts.

 

I love the flowers from the Party Time stamp set.  Here I stamped them on white and cut them out and then sponged on some of the same color lightly.  And that beautiful heart doily is cut using the With Love Sweet Cuts.  I cut another out of vellum and used the center piece for the heart behind the cup that I then embossed.  I love that you can cut it out and use both pieces for a full doily or just use the lacy outside or the smooth inside ... of course I have two pieces left over to use on another project!

 

I decorated the cup with a flower and swirl from the Party Time set and used my very favorite Paper Sweeties Crinkly Seam Binding Ribbon in Creamsicle.  And... of course I used some of those beautiful Paper Sweeties Cupped Flower Shaped Sequins!

 

I'll be seeing you again!  For me this is a week long party... so continue on your way along the hop and we'll talk again later!
