Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Card 5

 Hello!

Only a few more days left of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop! Make sure to get your project linked up by Friday for your chance at some wonderful prizes from our sponsors!!

Todays card features Newton's Nook and embellishments from Twiddlers Nook!  I've been eying this Newton's Nook Lovable Llamas for awhile and while think about my next card to make, I though I could have the llama's carrying coffee ups on their backs. That is if it works out how I think it!!

I used a couple cups from Newton Loves Coffee stamp set, stamped them, the llamas and a couple blankets. I colored everything up with Copic markers and added a little gold with Wow Embossing Powder.

Then I fussy cut everything out and arranged the blankets and cups on the llama's. I liked how it turned out! So I moved on to make a shaker card. 

To make my shaker I picked out some purple polka dot pattern paper and used a rounded rectangle to cut a window. I covered the window with acetate and then added foam tape around the window's edge. Then I added my fun embellishments!! These came from a new to me shop and fellow Coffee Loving Cardmaker Design Team Member, Amanda Wilcox! Her etsy shop is called Twiddlers Nook! Her shop features fun embellishments and craft tools (more on that in a minute!). 

So I used the Burning Embers embellishments and added a pile to the center of my acetate window, then adhered the card base to the foam tape. And wa-la a shaker card!! I added the llamas and the sentiment to the card last!

You might have noticed in my pictures two orange objects, one with some embellishments another with a die and a rabbit paper clip. These are just some of the caft tools from Twiddlers Nook that I mentioned above! 

New just in time for the hop is a Magnetic Die Cut Stand! Mine is a coffee cup and in orange!! (orange is my favorite color, and I LOOOOVE the color, its a perfect orange!!!) Amanda has several more colors to pick from, purple, blue, black just to name a few. Plus, there are other shaped stands to choose from!!

The stand is magnetic so you can place the small dies that you use most often or are working with at that moment! Plus the stand sits in a small little tray and you can use that too!!

Another crafty tool Amanda has are little trays in a few different shapes. Mine is a Donut Tray how fun is that!?!?!! Goes great with coffee!! hehe!! Works great with embellishments or those tiny bits!!

Last here is a picture of them both on my desk. I cleaned off my desk before starting my Coffee crafting and of course it got a little messy, though not as bad as it was!! When I'm not using the tray to corral embellishments, it's holding my embellishments that are waiting to be put away!! 

The Magnetic stand is holding an die that has to home yet, the stray bunny paper click and I use the stand it sits in to hold the only clear block I use any more! (I use the MISTI for 99% of my stamping!)

Wow, a long post I know, but so worth it!! Make sure to get your project linked up before Friday for your chance to win a gift card to Twiddlers Nook!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
