Welcome to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers

Fall/Winter Blog Hop~ 2018!!! 

I sure hope everyone had a "full" Thanksgiving!!
We are so excited for our 2nd sponsored hop of the year! 

We have a few NEW Super Sponsors for this hop, 

as well as our amazing, continuing Super Sponsors!!!

For my first card of the hop, I used

Merry Girl <<link here 

From Unity Stamp Co.

 

I was inspired by Whitney Magnuson with the torn paper...

My absolute favorite color combo to use is kraft and red

You can't really tell, but I water colored Merry, 

then used oxides to highlight around her, 

flicked water over the whole image and blotted it up with a paper towel

I used a Christmas tree from a past KOM, and a big snowflake!

I love the rustic feel of this card!! 

Unity Stamp Co continues to be one of our Super Sponsors

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2018 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers~ November with Polka Dot Orchard

 

Hey there! What's brewin"? 

Welcome back to Robyn's Nest!!

Today, I have a card made from a digital set I was given by my friend 

Jessica Pickeral Burnham from 

LINK to Polka Dot Orchard ~Etsy

This is such an amazing set!

 It's called Sketchy Punpkin Spice

So many images, and sentiments for any

 Fall or Thanksgiving cards you want to make!!

LOOK, there's even a background stamp too!!

 

I just love this card!! 

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, and a cuppa! 

Doesn't get any better than that!!

First I colored all the images, and fussy cut them out

Then using kraft paper from PTI, I use the 

Brutus Monroe "Hit the Bricks" stamp 

from Unity Stamp Co.

I used Versafine,then heat embossed the bricks in white embossing powder.

This is my 3rd card using that stamp, so I highly recommend it !

My sweet friend Bobbie Sue sent me some burlap tags she made me a few months back, 

and eyelash trim. I used both on this card! 

Then I layered the images on top, and added a small pumpkin cut out, and a small leaf

The sentiment is from the other digital set Jessica offers called

Coffee Pumpkin Flourish 

I sure hope you get ba chance to check them out

I love digi's because you can resize them.

This is my first card using this set, but not the only one I've made. You'll have to wait until the end of the month when CLC has out Fall/Winter Blog Hop to see the others!!

Please join us starting Novenber 30th 

 

See you on the 30th!

Inky hugs

Friends of Unity~ November is Strength

 

Hey there, what's brewin'?? 

Welcome back to this months Hop!

Our girl Dawn suggested the cue for this month,

Strength

I think that most of Unity's sentiments are about 

strength and encouragement, it it was an easy choice for me, 

to pick the newest member of the Angie's Girl family 💖 

I used Emerson Girl

  She's on sale right now for only $10.00!! 

 

As you've figured out by now, I'm a huge coffee fan!!

So, I went with  a Not So serious take on "strength"

Without coffee in the mornings, I really do feel like a slug!

So for me, coffee inspires strength 

My friend Java Joanne from Stampin' Funn on FB sent me a stamp that says

"Be strong, I whisper to my coffee"  LOL ;) 

Here's her

Link to Stampin' Funn  

Ok, enough chit chat from me. Onto this card

I started out with a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of dark gray cardstock

I stamped it with the new Brutus Monroe Hit The Brick 

background stamp 

 using Versafine, and heat embossed it with white embossing powder

I love the result so much!

I paper pieced Emerson's outfit, and colored her face and hair with Copics

The sign "came to me" while loading the dishwasher~LOL.

So, I decided to cut out the words on the sentiment to add to the sign.

I love the "grunge" feel of this card

The "Coffee" word die is from CAS-ual Friday's .

I had no idea where this card was going...so, after many, many messages between me, and Eileen, I ended up using a cranberry colored card base, and matted the gray onto black. 

I cut a scalloped circle, then assembled the card.. 

I hope you like this months card!!
