I created this card using stamps by A creative journey with Melissa. 

Coffee

Today is the last day to link up for the Fall Coffee Lover's blog hop... just a few hours left!  I hope to sneak in one more, but....

Right now, I'm linking up this card:

This was a pretty quick and easy card.  I used stamps and a coffee stencil by Create a Smile Stamps.
I used versamark ink in the corners and heat embossed fantage. I colored the coffee cup with chameleon markers. brown ink by TSOL.

COFFEE: liquid sanity

Tomorrow is the last day of the Fall Coffee Lovers blog hop!  I'm linking up another card, below.

I used the Sizzix/SB MINI happy day step up card die set, along with stamps by Stamplorations called Coffee Happy. I used papers from my stash and colored the some of the images with Chameleon  pens.

Thinking of you..

Last link up for today.  This is my 3rd card for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog hop.  See previous post for details and links.  These hops are my favorite!  So much inspiration if you love coffee/cocoa/tea!  Great sponsors and awesome crafting people.  :) 

I created this card using a a Tim Holtz set I couldn't resist.  It came with the embossing folder, stamps and dies. :) 

A pretty simple card. I inked over the embossed areas to make the images pop.  The cup layer is cut with a stitched rectangle die from TSOL.  

I need coffee right meow!

The Fall Coffee Lover's blog hop is going strong!  Sept. 23-30th. Click here for more details and to play along!  :)

This is my 2nd link up!  After my morning hike with my pup, instead of cleaning, I made cards!  Sssshhh.  Don't tell!  ;) 

Using The Stamps of Life grid 2 die set, and leaves from Sizzix/SB happy thanksgiving 3d drop in sentiment set, and sizzix/sb tags (and words), I created this card.  The Stamps are from Newton's Nook and it's a set called Newton loves coffee.  It's so cute!  I had to have it.  "I need some coffee right MEOW!" makes me laugh! Inks are TSOL and I colored Newton and the cups with my Chameleon pens.
