Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm sharing a fun layered card for the current YNS inspiration challenge.  My card features Perk Up! and the photo colors pink and grey.  I LOVE the little espresso machine in this set.  It was colored with Tombow markers and fussy cut. The designer papers are from My Mind's Eye Love Me paper pad.  A doily (recycled from use at a local restaurant) and twine were added from my stash.  The layered design was inspired by the current Mojo Monday sketch.   I would like to share my card with the following: Your Next Stamp Challenge #160 - Photo Inspiration Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #555   2021 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Simon Says Stamp Monday: Recycle (doily) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  2 or more Pattern Papers

I only recently discovered the AAA Cards clean and simple challenge.  It says "Challenge" for a reason... My CAS design skills get a workout each time I play along!!  I'm joining again to help celebrate their 6th birthday with a CAS design featuring Honey Bee Stamps Coffee Break set. The coffee image was stamped onto kraft cardstock.  I originally planned to color the entire image with Prismacolor pencils.  But I realized after it was stamped that the simple black on kraft was eye catching.  I colored the heart red then coordinated a border panel in red.  The sentiment is from a very old set by Memory Box called Flower Patch.   I'm also sharing with Day 6 of the Coffee Lovers Hop!  I hope you get a chance to join the fun.  Amy and her team offer tons of inspiration AND sponsor prizes.  You can check out the details by using the link below.

It's Day 7 of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop and this will be my final entry for the week of fun.  My card features Coffee & Love digital set from Graciellie Design.  I am completely smitten with this beautiful coffee cup image!  And what I love about digital stamping is the ability to make the image any size I need for my project.  The image was also super easy to fussy cut for this card. The image was printed onto watercolor paper then fussy cut and colored with Tim Holtz distress inks and Tombow markers.  The card was finished with a machine stitched border, seam tape ribbon, pearls and gold thread.

It's Day 5 of the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I'm trying to share at least one card a day and today I've used a fabulous digital set from Verve Stamps.   Coffee Please digital set is available through September 30th at an intro price of $3.50!  Wow! I printed the coffee cup image and sentiment onto Stampin' Up Whisper White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. Machine stitched borders, Verve sequins and cheesecloth finish the card.   Some of you may be new to my blog. I love sharing with others in the crafty blogging world.  SO much inspiration comes from others around blogland. I live in the beautiful state of Alaska with my husband and chocolate Labrador, Gingersnap.  We enjoy outdoor activities all year around.  I thought I would share a couple of photos from the weekend (not coffee related) while Ginger and I went for a walk at our local park.   I'm still amazed after living ...
