Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 5

Well!  It's Day 5 of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  I told you I'd be back with some more fun with the Paper Smooches Caffeinated set!  Here's how I was inspired:

I decided to make a man card...lol... and a man coffee cup!  I love that the to go cup dies from the Caffeinated Icons Dies that coordinate with the Caffeinated stamp set can also be used all on its own!  The main cuts the stamped image and then there are all the pieces parts that you can use with the stamped image or without!

I used some more of the papers from that great Amy Tangerine Better Together paper pad, the Mantastic Sentiment from Daddy Yo 2, and the other two sentiments are from the paper pad!  I used the Stitched Circle Die as a backdrop and love how some of the colors of the background show through the holes!  The eyes and glasses are from Daddy Yo 2 and the mustache and bow tie are from the Daddy Yo Icons Dies!

Fun!!  I love him!  Hope you enjoyed it!   Don't forget you have until tomorrow, November 6th at 11:59 pm to hop and comment for your chance to win a $25 gift code to the Paper Smooches shop!  The collaboration hop starts at this post here!

I'm playing along with Double Trouble's You Have Us In Stitches Challenge!  Just use stitches real or faux... I have them in my background die!  And I've met the twist with my Man Cup!  I mean... you don't have to make a man cup... just create something with a Coffee/Tea, Cocoa or Apple Cider theme and then you can link it up over at the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop too!

Come back again tomorrow!!  I'll have more caffeinated inspiration for you!

Ink Road - What the Frapp!

Quick post sharing a card I made this weekend... was so excited to get my order in from Ink Road I HAD to play!  I've had the Bella Flora set for some time and LOVE it and even love it more now that there are matching dies... and these dies ... this set... it is huge!  You get all of the outlines for all of the stamps in the stamp set AND a whole 'nother set of Stand Alone Dies!  14 Dies in all... so worth the price and then some!

Updated to add:  This one was a top pick over at Outlawz!!

And can we talk about the Mug Life stamp set??  As with so many of the Ink Road stamp sets.. the sentiments are SO fun and funny!!  Love that many of them fit on the coffee images in the set which are also quite awesome!

I was coloring up these flowers over the weekend, not really sure what I'd use them on, but knew I wanted to use a different color than my norm so I chose the orange and yellow... I wasn't planning on using them here, but when I laid it against that pretty plaid paper from my new Amy Tangerine Better Together paper pad that I picked up over at Our Creative Escape in Goodyear AZ.  And those floral pieces I cut off on my right bottom corner cluster... see what I did with those?  I'm not telling... you can find them I'm sure.

The pretty stitched frame is from Paper Smooches and cut from beautiful Hero Arts Woodgrain Cardstock.  And that beautiful stitched background was cut using a die from Stamplorations.  And one of my most used dies... that banner from Craftin Desert Divas.. not to mention the pretty sequins!

So I'm linking up to the Twisted Thursday over at The Outlawz which goes through tonight!  The twist is Taste of Summer... this challenge is always Anything Goes with a twist and you can use the twist or not (but if you do you get extra chances to win some great prizes!)  You should check out this Ning group for sure!

Thanks for stopping!  Be sure to checkout my Paper Sweeties post for today here and see what's going on for Release Day!
