Card 3...

Nothing says Spring like flowers and butterflies.... and coffee is always a good idea. 😁

I'm back with a 3rd coffee card to link up for the spring/summer coffee lovers blog hop.














Here's my card using the coffee cup fold it die set from The Stamps of Life, as well as butterfly dies from the popcorn box die set, and flower from this month's card kit club.  Steam dies are from the hot chocolate die set.

2nd link up coffee lovers spring/summer hop

Back with my 2nd link up for the Spring/Summer coffee lovers hop...

A week of great inspiration and prizes from amazing generous sponsors. Click HERE to check it out.

My card:







I used the Stamps of life Elegant edge drop in card die set and stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs. 

Day 1, link up 1 for the Spring/Summer Coffee lovers blog hop

 It's time!  One of the best weeks of the year: the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!



Click HERE for more information and participation.  It's so fun to see all inspiration shared, plus prizes.

Now for my card.....  I had so much fun making this card.  I used the mushroom fold it card die set, mini flowers, vine, and ant dies from The Stamps of Life.  I also used my new caffeinated ant from The Rabbit Hole Designs (it's a stamp/die set with several bugs. so cute!). I have no idea who made the paper pad, but I bought a coffee kit last year and it had a fun coffee theme paper pad in it and that's what I used here. 

Front, Inside and the back.

Two of my favorite things....

Coffee in a to go cup and coffee in a mug! LOL! 

The Stamps of Life now has two awesome fold-its.....

 The Coffee Cup Fold-it. It's an A2 sized card! I decorated this one for a warm fall look using the leaf dies with felt and stamps from the set mittens2stamp. The little hearts are from using the scallop envelope liner die set.  See previous posts of mine using this coffee cup die when I participated in the recent Coffee Loving Paper crafters blog hop. :)
AND...

The Mug fold-it!  It has a hot cocoa vibe to it since it comes with fun marshmallow dies, but... of course, "fill it up" with coffee and tea, too!  I added some gingerbread men to cocoa card, a wrapper from some hot chocolate Hershey kisses, and I made the straw or candy (I was thinking candy when I made it, but people have been asking me about my straw, so... lol!) by cutting a strip of patterned paper and rounding the edges with scissors.  For more mug cards from me, again, check out my previous posts from the blog hop.  :)

Using stamps I won from Unity, again, along with a chicken wire background stamp from Art Impressions, I created this card:

Reindeer food....

How else do they get the energy to fly Santa around all night?  Yep, COFFEE!  Linking up another card for the Coffee Loving Paper crafters fall/winter blog hop.
The Stamps of Life's October stamp club was Reindeer2stamp and Reindeer2stampdies . It is the CUTEST!  There's also morereindeer2stamp, too, which is MORE cuteness. 

I used them for this coffee cup fold it card: I put little starbucks instant packages in the top hole. 

 Also used the stitched tag die.....
