Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop!! Yay!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! You can start at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog, see a ton of inspiration and play along!! And of course there is a ton of great prizes too!!

My first card features some fab coffee goodies from STAMPlorations!! They are one of the sponsors, so make sure to submit your fall/winter coffee project for your chance to win the STAMPlorations prize!! Seriously, they have 98 items when you search for coffee!!! What couldn't be better?!?!!

I'm starting with my fall card (I'll be sharing more cards as the week goes on!) and pulled out STAMPlorations Zen Coffee 2 Cover Plate die. I first cut the die from some matte gold card stock, then I adhered it to a dark red card base.

Next, I picked out a fall pattern paper pad and different patterns out for different areas of the die cut. For example, I used a darker pattern for the coffee beans and the coffee inside the cup. After cutting I used liquid glue to add the different pieces inside my gold one. I did leave some of the areas not filled on purpose!

Then I stamped and white embossed the Perk Up! sentiment from the After Coffee stamp set. I cut the sentiment into a rectangle and adhered it to the die cut panel. To describe this, it sounds fast and easy, but it took away to cut and then adhere all those pieces!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure you hop along and submit your own fall/winter inspired coffee card!! I'll be back in a couple days with another I made for the hop!!
