Hello hello hello Coffee Loving Friends… Today is the day that we all have been waiting for!!! The 2019 Fall – Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop starts today!
This Fall – Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop starts from Friday, November 1, 2019 until Friday, November 8, 2019. You can link up your projects anything goes, caffeinated projects [coffee, tea, cocoa, hot apple cider] but your projects should be new, not previously posted, please no back linking.
And please check out all of the AMAZING Super Sponsors and give them some love for their generous sponsors to our coffee loving community!
Kicking off this blog hop… I made two caffeinated cards. First is this CAS Fall themed card for a special friend.
I used the Coffee Lovers Clear Stamps, Fall Greetings Clear Stamps, and Friends and Flowers Clear Stamps on this card.
I tried the no-line watercoloring technique but I still need a practice on this technique… (wink.. wink… ) I stamped the image with Cheerful VersaFine Clair ink pad and then colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pens. After that, I dried the image and then fussy cut it with scissors.
I stamped the cup with Pinecone Versafine Clair ink pad and Tulip Red, then I colored them with Arteza Real Brush Pens and waterbrush. For the steam and sentiment, I stamped them with the same ink pad.
I added the leaves image and cup on the card with Scrapbook Adhesives – EZ Grand Runner and 3D foam tape.
My second card is a mixed media card. I created the mixed media background with gelli printing technique using Helen G. Designs ARTplorations Stencils.
I stamped the cups from the Christmas Cocoa – Joy Clair Clear Stamps on the red printed paper with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad, dried it with craft heater. Then I fussy cut them and I colored them with Faber Castell Big Brush Pens. I added extra highlight on the cups with permanent marker.
I stamped the sentiment from the Coffee Talk – Joy Clair Clear Stamps on a white cardstock, then I trimmed it into sentiment banner, and I added it on top of the card with Scrapbook Adhesives – 3D foam tape.
I added a half-piece of the paper doily on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue and then I added both cups on top of it with Scrapbook Adhesives – EZ Gran Runner. I finished this card with some sequins.
