A Hug in a Mug ....

.... Hello again!  That title kinda tells you how I feel about my morning cup of coffee!  My family will tell you I'm addicted - maybe!  I couldn't possibly say :) :)  So I'm pleased that I finally managed to make a card to join in with the 2015 Fall - Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

Stamps: Reverse Confetti - For the Love of Latte, Caffeinated Cups; Verve - Better With You
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Baked Brown Sugar; Kaleidacolor - Creole Spice
Dies: Reverse Confetti - Caffeinated Cups
Accessories: Cream & White Lustre Card; SU Card - Baked Brown Sugar; Glitter; Copic Markers


I based my card on this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches - FMS#206.  I got my new coffee stamps earlier this week and am really pleased to be inking them up.  I've got lots of coffee sets, but you can't have too many!  I stamped the cup on white card, coloured it with Copic markers, cut it out with the matching die and added some glitter to the coffee foam.  I really like the pretty cup holder - which I stamped in autumnal colours.  I used the super coffee stains from my Verve set and added rings to the card base (well, you nearly always have stains on the desk).  I finished the front with a sentiment.  I stamped the word coffee on some scrap card, fussy cut it out and attached it with dimensional gel.  On the inside I cut a mat layer of light brown card, and on the cream panel added a fun sentiment!

I have got a huge pile of ironing waiting for me upstairs - so I suppose rather than having fun in my craft room, I'd better get it done!  That's all for now.  See you tomorrow.

Edited to add:  I've just uploaded my card to the Coffee Blog Hop - I got number 543 - good to know that I'm not the only coffee addict about !!

    Love this card, Deborah! These soft colors are just gorgeous. Love the matching colors in the sleeve and the 'coffee' die. And the glitter...Oh the glitter! I'm pretty sure that one can absolutely, positively never have too many coffee related crafting items. For realsies! Bev
