Today is the day!!! Coffee/Cocoa/Tea loving cardmakers and papercrafters, it is the time for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

This blog hop and link up runs from September 23rd at 6:00 AM Pacific Time until September 30th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. The theme is Fall coffee, cocoa and tea. And do you know that September 29th is the National Coffee Day?

Let’s gather your coffee/cocoa/tea crafting supplies, create and share with us by linking up your project(s) here. And….  there are 63 Super Sponsors!!! Wow!!! Check them all out at Coffee Loving Cardmakers and see the inspirations they share over there, too.

For the first day, I made this card mixing the Coffee Cup Tags stamp & frame cut die set, and Color Layering Grateful Leaves stamp & frame cut die set from Hero Arts:

I die-cut Canson watercolor paper with the Coffee cup and the foam from Coffee Tag frame cut dies and colored them with watercolor paints. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Grateful Leaves stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black. The leaves I stamped with CTMH ink pads and diecut them. I arranged them on the American Crafts woodgrain printed card and then added the cup with 3d foam tape.

That’s my card for today with stamping, diecutting and watercoloring with Hero Arts. And if you would love to get the Hero Arts supplies I used on my cards today, you can find them at a2z Scrapbooking Store.

Fall is here even the weather still warmer for Fall season here in our area. Hoping to have Fall weather soon 😀

Today, I would love to share a no-stamping Fall Card. On this card, I only use diecuts:

I watercolored the background panel and die-cut it using one of the frame from Craftin Desert Divas – Fancy Frame dies. Then I die-cut some glitter cardstocks with one of the leaves from Concord & 9th – Layering Leaves Dies. And the sentiment is one of the Craftin Desert Divas – Greeting Word Dies.

I added the die-cuts on the background panel using glue pen and then I added the finished panel on the kraft card base with some adhesive runner.

I did not add any gems or sequins on it since I have those glittered leaves 🙂

I hope you’ll like the card today and are inspired to create handmade card for Fall/Thanksgiving. THANK YOU for stopping by today 🙂 Have a fabulous blessed day.

There are many ways to say thank you to someone. But one thing we know that, words will be never enough to express our gratitude.

Sending out a handmade thank you card is one way to express our gratitude 🙂 Today, I’d love to share with you a card I made for a friend who has been a great support in my life!

I stamped the image from one of the Unity Stamp Company – Kit of the Month on Canson Watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black. Then I colored them with Spectrum Aqua markers – Floral set. These markers are watercolor markers so I used the waterbrush to spread the ink and fill in the images.

Then I added some sparkle on them using Wink Of Stella glitter brush. Just love how it turned out after I added the glitter on it.

Then I die-cut the watercolored panel with one of the Fancy Frames dies from Craftin Desert Divas. I ties around some May Arts – Natural Twine on the diecut panel.

I added the finished panel on the card base, that is one of the assortment cards from American Crafts. And I finished my card with some clear gems on it.

I made this card also for the new challenge at Addicted To Stamps and More. This week challenge is about making your mark with coloring pencils, watercolor, paints, brushes, sponges, inks, or any other coloring medium. Check out more about the challenge here.

Out sponsor this week is Happy Little Stampers. By linking up your project, you have a chance to win $15 gift certificate to the HLS Store! Come, play along, and have fun!

I hope you are inspired today and Thank You for visiting me. Have a fabulous blessed day!
