Hocus Pocus 2 - Coffee Lovers Fall BlogHop

DAY 8 PM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP  

This card was made using the freebie image of Brentwood "Hocus Pocus" at Jessical Lynn's Originals.  Brentwood was my choice for the first card for the Coffee Lovers Fall BlogHop, and Brentwood was chosen as my last card to the Fall BlogHop...I love him.  

However, my card was not made without a comedy of errors...

• The image was on stamped on daisy white cardstock and did not look good with design paper chosen 
• Image had been colored but set aside because the eyes had been messed up
• The frame was a die-cut which did not die cut all details of the frame design. 

Just needed a little tender care and cleanup...the focal panel was distressed/sponged in expresso and chocolate inks, able to fix the eyes, and used the negative of the frame. Happy with result and Brentwood was not cast away.  Brentwood says "So Long" and see you at the Holiday Coffee BlogHop.  

For the inside just added a corner strip of the same design paper used on the front of the card.

Hug In a Mug - Dare to be Artsy

DAY 7 AM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

Purchased a new Stamp Set by Dare 2B Artzy "Hug in a Mug" for the Fall Coffee Hop.  In viewing their Shop noted there was a link to their current months Challenge "Ship Shape" which required a shaped card.  I was making a K-Cup Holder as a thank you gift and thought this would fall into that category.  Previously made K-Cup holder as a gift for Christmas so I went back to the You Tube tutorial Simply Simple K-Cup By Connie Stewart to refresh my memory.  

For my cups I stamped one in second generation black, and then used a Mirror Block from Paper Smooches to do a reverse cup. Colored cups using a combination of Copic colors to match up to the design paper, fussy-cut and then adhered to background with thin foam tape for dimension.  Stamped Sentiment and put on the K-Cup finger handle behind the the K-cups.

With a latte Love

DAY 6 PM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

Back a couple weeks ago created a few backgrounds using the shaving cream technique with the thought in mind to use this particular background for the Fall Coffee Bloghop with colors to represent a latte for my Lil'inker stamp set...I think it turned out brew-tiful. 

This was the Lil' Inker stamp set I won for one of the random draws at the 2017 Summer Coffee Lovers BlogHop ... so anxious to use this stamp set in the next Coffee Lovers BlogHop.  Using the masking technique, I stamped three cups in cocoa color using the Misti to cover the background well. The latte tops were stamped with chocolate ink lightly so that the background colors showed through the design. Combined two of the stamps for the sentiment because they both fit the image so well. Used three different color sequins from the bronze sequin packet in the bottom corner. Card went together pretty fast, CAS, and turned out brew-tiful. 

Along the border of the inside stamped with cocoa ink the same latte designs.

Happiness Is a Cup of Coffee

DAY 6 AM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

Back a couple weeks ago created a few backgrounds using the shaving cream technique with the thought in mind to use this particular background for the Fall Coffee Bloghop with colors to represent an autumn day.  

Masked and stamped the background with several leaves in a variety of colors, and then to give it more texture ran it through the crackle embossing folder.   I then went through my stash of previously stamped die cuts and chose the branch and little birdies holding a cup, colored and adhered with 3D foam tape.  Found a stamp sentiment, colored, layered and adhered to background with foam sheet.  

On the inside of the card, stamped masked and stamped three leaves and acorn on the bottom corner and stamped a frame for a sentiment.

DAY 5 AM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

When we had our Crop back East, one of the girls (Donna Davis, Diary of a Scrapbook Addict) introduced us to the Mosaic Moments Photo Collage System for scrapbooking. Usually scrapbook pages to me are minimal...so I decided to make a couple of cards (a little larger than A2's) using their 12 x 12 scrapbook cardstock, and dies for the squares.    

Chose a couple of floral design sheets from a 6 x 6 Paper Pad by Jen Hadfield "Simple Life" for placing on the squares.  The sentiments were in the same paper pad.  Added flowers and foliage and placed a small wooden teacup among the flowers.  You can see my other floral card HERE.

How've You Bean - H2H Sept Wk#3

DAY 4 PM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

This is my Design Team project for Heart2Heart "Aarrgh - 9/19 Int'l Talk Like a Pirate Day".  Talk Like a Pirate Day was initiated in 1995...go HERE to read some history about how this came to be a holiday. Remember you have all month to create to be eligible for recognition as one of the Top 10 "Darlings". AND if you create a project for each challenge in the month of Sept, you will earn a badge as an H2H Addict for Perfect Attendance. 

For additional inspiration on this Challenge hop on by to see what other Design Team members have created. Hope this gives you some inspiration and enthusiasm to link your artwork as a participant ... we look forward to your creativity.

I had been wanting to use the Paper Smooches Mirror Blocks to create a reverse of a stamp...so chose our cute little Pirate. It took a couple of attempts creating a good reverse stamp of the pirate...but when happy with the stamp, both images were colored with a variety of copic pens, fussy-cut and set aside to decide on the scene. Using a design paper from Regatta for the background water and sky, stamped a small fleet of Pirate Ships, partially colors the ships, added waves, and stamped the sentiments Ahoy Matey and Happy Birthday. 

Used a die to cut out my sand...again many cuts were made but finally got a sand dune that represented sand. This card was so much fun to make and it wasn't until my Happy Birthday sentiment was added and remembered that I also wanted this to be a card for the Coffee Lovers BlogHop.

So how do I accomplish this...on one of my coffee stamp sets there was another sentiment "How've you Bean?" and then stamped a number of coffee beans on the sand to represent pebbles. The stamping of the beans were somewhat difficult working around all the stamping, but I was able to pull it off without smudging or tearing it apart. In my stash I had a sign which had been previously cut for a project never completed, cut it down a bit, changed the words and added to the bottom.

On the inside added a few more coffee beans on the border. My daughter had some really teeny-tiny die-cut cups so at the last minute, and new photos, three of them were added to my coffee card. 

This was such a fun and whimsical card to make and will be going off in the mail to a special person who has a birthday on this day, and who also enjoys Starbucks Coffee a gift card will be included.

Three dies and an embossing folder made up my card.  Pieced together the take out cup and used thin foam sheet to give the cup some dimension.  The die cut rings reminded me of coffee rings which were adhered directly to the embossed background, and placed three coffee bean embellishments.  Card came together pretty fast.

Cat-itude You're the Cream in my Coffee

DAY 3 AM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP 

Wanted to enter a card in the Guest Design Search and the September Month Challenge "Animals" at Paper Smooches, so this gave me the opportunity to use the adorable My Mind's Eye "Meow" paper pack purchased awhile ago and the Paper Smooches Cat die. 

Now to look for something to relate it to the Coffee BlogHop...Looking through my coffee sentiments "You're the Cream in my Coffee" was perfect and could use that as the sleeve to my Cozy Coffee die, added from stickers a milk bottle and the "Cat-Itude" sentiment.  

On the inside of the card used another cut of the cat and a corner cut from design paper.

First Day - You Add Color to My Life

DAY 2 PM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

My Friend just became a Disign Team Member...so this card is made for Brown Sugar Challenge #268 "Back to School" theme, combined with Try Stampin' - or not - On Tuesday Sketch Challenge #339.   

It took me a lot of thought and time on how I was going to do Back to School card to include coffee.  Since I wasn't coming up with any ideas just went to my stash and pulled an image that was already cut, colored and trimmed up the fuss-cut.  Next I had purchased a stamp set at a scrapping flea show over a year ago and never used and there was an apple on it. First and last time that stamp will be used, it just crumbled apart.  I was on my way and just cut pieces, of design paper from "Magical" paperpack, according to the sketch and it was starting to come together.  CTMH Artbooking had a "First Day" die cut.  

Thought I was finiished but remembered there was a challenge going on with an inspirational picture of a basket of apples "Paper Sweeties".  I didn't have any of their stamps on the card, but did remember I had some crayons and paint brush stamps.  So stamped, colored, and fussy-cut.  And the sentiment on the same stamp set was perfect.  

Now I had to put it all together...that was the easy part because The Outlawz asked for 3 pop-ups and these items were perfect...adhered with different thicknesses of 3D foam tape to give it a lot of dimension as you can tell from the pictures below.  

The inside of the card stamped on the border "Back to School" and added a strip of Design Paper
