Holiday coffee lover blog hop

Hello.

Its coffee lovers blog hop time. 

That doest mean you cant join in the fun if you don't drink coffee lol.

Tea and hot chocolate are good to :)

In fact National Cocoa day (Dec 13th) and international Tea (Dec 15th) are both during the hop.

There are so many fabulous sponsors you can see them all in the first part of the link up, please stop by and show them some love.

I was lucky enough to get one of the free warm wishes stamps from Waffleflower so thanks very much to them.

This is such a cute little stamp. 

I started not really knowing what i was going to make lol.

I stamped and heat embossed the image and sentiment then coloured each one with distress inks.

I then added details to the image using prisma color pencils. and also splashed some glimmer mist over the whole piece.

So shimmery that's when i got the idea to make these little pockets.

I think I might just slip these into random cards or even just send on their own if someone need a little pick me up.

Thanks for looking.

Fall coffee lovers blog hop

For my Lawnscaping blog hop please click here thanks.

Hello. 

Its coffee lovers blog hop time.

 I love these hops, so much inspiration  and i cant wait to see everyone's fall coffee projects

Not a coffee drinker? no problem tea and hot chocolate are just fine too :D 

You can link up here at the coffee lovers blog.

Dont forget to visit the sponsors who so generously offer prizes through out the hop.

For my fall themed project i used the new coffee sets from Reverse confetti.

For the love of latte and caffeinted cups.

To start i blended  yellow orange red and brown distress inks directly onto my card base.

Then flicked some water on let it sit for a short while and dried with some paper towel.

Finally i flicked some gold glimmer missed and spritzed it for lots and lots of sparkle.

The cups are die cut from water colour card and i used the same distress inks and loosened it up with some water then dried and flicked some more gold over the top before adding to my  card base.

The sentiment is stamped directly on the  card base in black archival ink.

And a close up to show the sparkle from the glimmer mist.

Thanks for looking.

Coffee lovers summer blog hop

Hello.

This is my first coffee lovers blog hop how exciting :)

I'm looking forward to hopping and seeing what everyone has made.

I went with something different rather than a card.

I used an embroidery hoop to make this.

I only have the one coffee type set and that is the awesome lawn fawn set "Love you a latte".

My first attempt failed i just heat embossed the images in neon colours and it looked truly awful.

 I am so glad i started over because I am much happier with this.

I stamped the images and coloured with derwent coloursoft pencils.

Once everything was coloured i die cut the "a latte". 

Does that make sense? Smile a latte? 

I then added another layer under the letters and placed them on top so that they are raised.

The letters were then covered in some clear wink of stella and a thick layer of glossy accents.

I finished with some clear sequins from pretty pink posh.

I love the bright sunny colours and cant wait to find somewhere to hang it.

Thanks for looking.
