<p>Kicking off this blog hop&#8230; I made two caffeinated cards. First is this CAS Fall themed card for a special friend.</p>

<p>I used the <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Coffee Lovers Stamp Set (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/coffee-lovers-clear-stamps?aff=7" target="_blank">Coffee Lovers Clear Stamps</a></strong>, <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Fall Greetings Stamp Set (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.joyclair.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/fall-greetings-clear-stamps?aff=7" target="_blank">Fall Greetings Clear Stamps</a></strong>, and <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Friends and Flowers Stamp Set (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/wish-big-clear-stamps?aff=7" target="_blank">Friends and Flowers Clear Stamps</a></strong> on this card.</p>



<p>I tried the no-line watercoloring technique but I still need a practice on this technique&#8230; (wink.. wink&#8230; ) 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>



<p>I added the leaves image and cup on the card with <strong><a href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Scrapbook Adhesives (opens in a new tab)">Scrapbook Adhesives</a></strong> &#8211; EZ Grand Runner and 3D foam tape.</p>

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.</p>



<p>I stamped the sentiment from the <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Coffee Talk - Joy Clair Clear Stamps (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/coffee-talk-clear-stamps?aff=7" target="_blank">Coffee Talk &#8211; Joy Clair Clear Stamps</a></strong> on a white cardstock, then I trimmed it into sentiment banner, and I added it on top of the card with  <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Adhesives &#8211; 3D foam tape</a></strong>.</p>



<p>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  <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Adhesives &#8211; EZ Gran Runner</a></strong>.
