I saw a card somewhere out there on the internet that had a lack o'lantern coffee cup, but I can't remember where or who made it, so.... that's for the inspiration whomever you are. ;) :)

This pumpkin is a new Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard fold it card die set. I embossed it with a Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard die. The Coffee stamp/die set along with the donut stamps/dies are The Stamps of Life with Stephanie Barnard.  The itty bitty happy halloween stamped on the small stir stick is amuse studio.

COFFEE! 

Hey!  Here's my third entry for the Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  Click on the link for more information on how to participate.  There's so much inspiration!  There's amazing/generous sponsors.  It's so fun! 

I created this card today:

I just got that sunflower stamp set by Krumspring Stamps, which I ordered from one of our sponsor's by the way- Butterfly reflections Ink. I was eager to use it.  I also used Tim Holtz stencil, mug is from Your Next Stamp (another great sponsor), and the stitched rectangle dies are from The Stamps of Life, which is near and dear to my heart as I'm on their DT. ;) :)

For the sunflower, I stamped and embossed it with gold EP on the blue cardstock. Then I used used a paintbrush to paint it with bleach, then I colored it in; finishing it off with dimensional glaze and glitter in the middle. :) 

The Coffee die cut is a wooden piece that I received as blog candy from one of our past hops. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Let's talk!

My 2nd link up for the Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop:

See my previous post for all the information on the blog hop. I'm offering blog candy this hop, so be sure to comment on my first link up. :)

The coffee is set is by Precious Remembrance. :)  The leaf stamps, I THINK, are The Angel Company......... one bad thing about unmounted/clear stamps, if you don't have the packaging, the name is lost...

I used a stitched rectangle border die from the stamps of life, and the inks are also tsol.

Happy hopping!!  :)

The scene stamp is art impressions, and I believe it's a series called window to the world.  I bought it a few years ago and this is the first time I've used it.  I just love it.  I want to be there. ;) It says The Pleasures of life are simple.... just add water.  Of course, that means lake; however, for me, that also means coffee! haha.
