Spring/Summer 2018 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop! - Day 1

The Coffee Hop is Here!  The Coffee Hop is Here!

If you visit here often, you know that the Coffee Lovers Bloghop hosted by Amy over at The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog is like a holiday for me!  The celebration starts today and runs through Friday June 1st at 11:55pm Pacific Time.  There are tons of Sponsors and lots of chances to win.  You can link up any new creation with a Spring/Summer and Coffee, Tea or Hot Cocoa theme and for each linkup you get a chance to win a prize!  Check out the Main Hop Post here for all of the details and to get a gander at all of the sponsors.  You will be amazed!  I'll be making rounds to all of the posts as always so I'll see you at some point for sure!  Also, if you're not already a member in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Facebook Group, you should join here for sure!

So here's one of my two makes for today: 

Not too long ago, Super Sponsor Kat Scrappiness had a sale and my wish list was pretty long so I took the opportunity to make a dent in it.  I LOVE these Distressed Edges Rectangle dies from her shop and discovered them when another member of the Facebook group posted a card she made using them and had to have them (that happens quite a bit in this group...lol!)

And I do believe it was the same person that made me add this Layered Coffee Cup Die to my wish list as well...I love the size and love all of the pieces to the lid... it was a great add to my coffee collection!  I have a goal to use up this paper pad from Simple Stories during this hop.  Don't get me wrong... I LOVE it, but it feels so good to use something up doesn't it?

I knew I wanted a Llama on this one... I have a few and this one was perfect for this card!  She's from Darcie's and I think she's just the sweetest!  Of course, I needed a llama to go with that Llama Latte sentiment!  Cute right?  That one is from Super Sponsor Stampin' Funn!  You should definitely check out her shop!  She has some awesome and funn (mostly sentiments) stamps!  

And I thought this sentiment from the Darcie's set was a good complement to the Llama Latte one... how else would you escape some drama?!

Hope you enjoyed your stop here today!  Come back soon and often this week!  And be sure to check out my second card for today here!

Now, get going and get something made so you can link up too!  If you don't have anything coffee, check out some of the sponsors' websites that have digis (sometimes you can even find some freebies to use during the hop).  Digis are inexpensive and you can download them right away!  Cannot wait to see what you create!  Or how about a background made with real coffee rings... coffee and a coffee cup... all you need!  I know you can think of something!  See you around the hop!
