Coffee Card

Here's my second card for this week's Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  This time I'm featuring coffee.

Digital stamp is a freebie and the sentiment is from Caffeinated Christmas clear stamp set, both from blog super sponsor STAMPlorations (designed by Shery Russ).

I did a bit of digital coloring before printing the image; then used paper, markers, and pens from my stash.

Holiday Tags

Even though art is important to me, I never seem to have enough time for homemade cards at the holidays.  Here are some quick tags I was able to put together. I made 6 of these for art friends, but have photos of 4. 

I used some Julie Nutting Hancock Park patterned tags as a base for my holiday tags.  Tim Holtz' Idea-ology Christmas Paper Dolls were the inspiration for my themes.  It was great to use all the bits and bobs I've collected over the years for the finishing touches.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Final

Here is my last card for the Fall-Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I used a digital image from super sponsor JessicaLynnOriginal and a stamped sentiment from super sponsor STAMPlorations.  I watercolored the digital image and added glitter pen to the red bow and berries. 

I cut a slit to create a gift card holder before mounting onto Graphic 45 patterned paper.  Then everything was placed on a red greeting card,

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Continued

I had planned to post a card every day during the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, but the stars didn't align.  My computer crashed big time.  The great fear was that I had lost all my files.  Fortunately, my external hard drive had an old backup still on it with all the files.  Whew!

Finally I can post my second card.

This is the square version for Linky posting. 

Here is a closeup of the card for judging/commenting purposes:

The digital image is from blog hop Super Sponsor STAMPlorations.  I colored it with Derwent Intense water soluble Ink Pencils.

I created the background with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Inks in Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed and a little Bundled Sage, using the spritz and swipe method.  I also used the inks to edge the colored image paper. I placed a Darice Holly and Leaves Die Cut Embossing Folder over the orange background.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 1 Tea Card

It's that time of year again for coffee themed cards and a hop!

Here is my first entry. 

It's a simple card made from a journal card from DOODLEBUG DESIGN INC Cream and Sugar.  I added layers of card stock and touched it up with a white Signo pen and a Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Obviously the card features tea cups.  This hop includes tea and hot chocolate.
