Coffee Lovers Fall | Winter Blog Hop #3

 One last card for this blog hop!  I don't know if there will be anymore before it's over tonight at midnight PST, but I have neglecting housework!  LOL Better get on that!!


This one is based on a previous BYSH Cardmakers sketch (#12).  Used a Unity Stamp Co. 2020 Advent Calendar stamp (the mug) and the sentiment is from .....heart of Christmas, also Unity Stamp Co.  Papers are old....from Fancy Pants St. Nick (2011).  Twines are from Bella Creationz and the "dots" are Nuvo Vintage Drops in Postbox red.

If I'm quick about it.....I'll be entry 979!!  Wonder if we'll get to 1000?!?!?

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop (card 2)

Card #2 for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop!

For this card I used a digital design from Polka Dot Orchard called Warm Sweaters and Cocoa.   Also used some stamps from Unity Stamp Co. 2020 Advent Calendar.


Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Polka Dot Orchard and Unity Stamp Co.  Also be sure to link up your coffee/cocoa creations for the blog hop!




Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 2021

 Happy Thursday!  It was recently shared with me that there is a Coffee Lovers Card Making Group (say what?!?!?). Not only is there is a Coffee Lovers Card Making Group, they are having a Blog Hop!  I'm so in!!

I've been sort of a rut since the craft show I did a few weeks ago.  I'm calling it "Craft Show Hangover!"  We unloaded the car and everything is everywhere! LOL. Time to clean it up and get crafting!!


First card for the Blog Hop is created using some Unity Stamps!  I used the sentiment from "warm & cozy" and the coffee cup from "Joy, peace and comfort mug."

Stamped the sentiment all over with versamark and then white embossing powder.  Ink blended some walnut stain and tea dye over the embossing.  Stamped and fussy cut the cup, colored with Tombow Art Markers.  Twine from stash, gems from pink fresh.

Polka Dot Orchard DT!!



 There has been some exciting news here in my world.....I've joined the Polka Dot Orchard Design Team!!!

Polka Dot Orchard is an online store for digital images and creative crafty things! :)

I've created a few projects using a set called Calling All Reindeer.  Christmas tags were cut and the banner image was printed!  Some patterned paper and some twine and these are ready to adorn any package!


I then printed the large reindeer head.  I distressed the edges and inked with Black Soot.  The red stripe is red ribbon!  I used a sketch from {BYSH} Cardmakers Sketch Challenge #16



Thanks for checking it out!  This reindeer card was supposed to be entered into the Jingle Belles Challenge, but I missed the deadline!  Card was done this morning, but life happened!  I remembered 2 1\2 hours too late!
