Coffee Loving Cardmakers - Paper Smooches Caffeinated Collaboration

 

So excited!  Today the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Paper Smooches Design Teams are hopping together to show you the awesome new Caffeinated, Caffeinated Icons Dies and Caffeinated Two sets!  I LOVE these sets... take a look:

The fun starts at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog where you will find the complete hop listing!  Hop and comment at each stop for your chances to win a $25 gift code to the Paper Smooches shop!  You have until November 6th at 11:59pm to comment at each stop.

You should have come here from my oh so talented teamie Helen's place!  Here's how I was inspired:

For this one I used papers from an Amy Tangerine paper pad that I got at Our Creative Escape which is a Paint & Wine Studio owned by Kim from Paper Smooches where you can find lots of Paper Smooches stamps and dies, along with a small supply of papercrafting items, and some adorable gifty items.  I thought those circles in the background panel were perfect for a Bubble Tea card!  (Um... did I mention there is a donut shop right next door to OCE that has bubble tea??).  When I go... I Paint & Bubble Tea... or shop and Bubble Tea... or whatever and Bubble Tea.

OMG... the glasses... and those little popping bubbles!!!  I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it!  I cut a tag using the Gift Tags 2 Dies for a backdrop for that adorable cup.  My favorite is Matcha Green Milk Tea with Blueberry Popping Bubbles.

This Speech Bubble die was PERFECT for this sentiment!  

In.  Love.

And then... this came to me when I was supposed to be sleeping:

Tee hee!!  This one made me giggle in my craft room!

I started with the background... I ink blended the background and then sprayed some water infused with Inkon3 Liquid Pixie Dust and soaked up the excess water with a paper towel.  Once it was dry, I used the same colors and the Stackers Stencil and added some triangles and circles which you can barely see here because I've covered a lot of it up, but I love the way it looks and I can't wait to do it again!

This guy... Frankenstein has long been one of my favorite monsters.  I colored my cup green and then used the Halloween Card Dies for his hair, stitches, and bolts.  It was so fun to make little Frankensteins out of my little poppers too!  Do you see that one little guy up there..... being all cannibalistic?...lol!  And I used this awesome Geo Frame Die to highlight Frankie.

Then I built my sentiment using the Boo! from the Halloween Icons Dies and part of one of the sentiments from the Caffeinated Two stamp set.

So there you have it!  I'll be sharing some more Caffeinated fun with you over the next week!  Be sure to hop and comment by the 6th for your chances to win!

I'm playing along over at Double Trouble Challenges Halloween Colors Challenge and they're partnering with Crafting Happiness where the challenge is Anything Halloween!

Now after you leave me some love here, head on over to my talented teamie Robyn's place to see what she's created for you today!

Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon!  And don't forget Friday is the start of the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Be there or be square headed... you know... like Frankenstein!
