More Coffee, please

But seriously, do you have some? I'd love a cup. I have to admit, I am actually a tea drinker, but since my son was born both my husband and I seem to drink a LOT more coffee than we used to. Maybe that's because Bailey's goes better with coffee than it does with tea? HA!

Kidding.

Not really. 

But, alas...I have yet another fun card for the Coffee Lovers Blog hop! I used the Picket Fence Studios Jill Girl stamp and die for this one.

I used the Picket Fence Studio Jill Girl stamp and die. I stamped her on kraft cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir colored pencils. I just love how she turned out! The background is the Simon Says Stamp Leafy Leaves stamped in Gold Brilliance ink (Tsukineko). I did heat set the ink, since it is a metallic pigment ink, to avoid smearing. The Just Because sentiment die from CZ Designs is die cut three times and layered to give it a bit more depth. I then added just a few metal dots as accents.

This is image has such a cozy feel to it! I just love it! 

Be sure to check out the Coffee Lovers Blog hop to see SO MANY PROJECTS and join us!

And with that, I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Coffee = Smiles

 

That's how math works, right? I mean, it must be. Because we all know it's true. Coffee = Smiles. And today is the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and THAT makes me smile, too! Because basically a whole bunch of talented crafty folks come together and post super fun projects showing off yummy beverages. Coffee, tea, hot cocoa... they all apply. And I am HERE for it, man!

If this is your first visit, WELCOME! I'm Jingle and you can find me on Instagram, too! 

You guys! I even pulled out my Dunkin Donuts scrunchy for this one. Because of course I have a Dunkin Donuts scrunchy. Do you not? 

I created this card with a wonderful amalgam of products from different places. That wonderful coffee cup is from the one and only Erin Lee Creative. I don't know if her coffee stamp set is available anymore, but her Harry Potter stuff CERTAINLY is, so you should just go buy that now because it's freaking amazing. The little mouse is an undeniably adorable stamp from the Simon Says Stamp and Colorado Craft Company Stamptember exclusive. Ummm.... CUTENESS! You can find all kinds of sets with these cute mice designed by Anita Jeram. They are incredibly adorable. And that sentiment. That wicked cute freaking sentiment? Yeah, that one is a wood block stamp from Simon Says Stamp so not only does it look adorable on a card, but it looks wicked cute on my shelf, too! I die cut the tiny heart from the Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts die set - this is a super useful set to have around. I highly recommend it.

I colored this one with Copics. Shadows and I aren't actually really good friends because, well, quite frankly, I have very poor spacial orientation and struggle with the entire concept of 'where is my light source', but I think this one turned out pretty cute. All in all, I had a super fun time creating this card! Now, head on over to the Coffe Loving Cardmakers Blog to check out all of the amazing creations out there! 

Coffee Helps {GIVEAWAY!}

Summer and coffee. Now, those are a couple of things that I can get excited about! I am participating in the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop while sipping my peanut butter cookie flavored iced coffee this morning! If you would like to participate, you still can! Simply create a summer AND coffee themed project and link it up on the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop post! There are LOTS of awesome sponsors and prizes for entering AND for commenting! SO much fun going on!



I recently bought these adorable flamingo dies and thought they would be a perfect fit for the summer theme! I combine them with the MFT Coffee Cup Die set to create this fun card. The sentiment is half from the Tickled Pink stamp set and half computer printed. I accented the flamingo with white colored pencil to add some dimension. The Bazzill Kraft Foil paper made the PERFECT little coffee cup sleeve! Seriously. I love that part. I really do.



I have a little giveaway to share with you today, too! Simply leave a comment on THIS BLOG POST by 12 June 2015 for your chance to win!

Coffee Lovers Bloghop & Giveaway

Today is National Coffee Day! Yes. That exists. Now, before we begin, I have a confession... I'm a tea drinker at heart. Sorry. But it's true. HOWEVER, this past summer I discovered iced coffee and sort of kind of fell in LOVE, soooo... yeah... that happens a couple of times a week now. As a matter of fact, I am currently sipping a Pumpkin Creme Brulee Iced Coffee as I type this. Yup. It's ridiculously delicious.
