Hello crafty friends! It's time for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I could not participate in the Spring hop because I was pregnant and unable to craft easily! SO I am delighted to be able to share a card for the Summer hop! Today I am featuring some products from SugarPea Designs. I decided to play along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I LOVED the sketch and took a different approach to it with the coffee cup and sentiments from the SugarPea Designs sets called...

A quick and simple card today...using a piece of patterned paper and a couple Simon Says Stamp dies... I got a pack of paper that has kraft and black designs(DIY Shop Kraft Patterns 6x6 by American Crafts), LOVE this floral piece!! Die cut the paper, popped up on card, and added a die cut and layered sentiment. You may not have this paper, but could easily do a background stamp with black on kraft...I'M excited at the possibilities!! Here's a close up... You could do a die cut "Thanks" , a...

Stamp first and then crimp lengthwise and widthwise - the paper does change size so allow for that when cutting. I wanted a simple B'day card -sentiment is on the inside.

Welcome I'm not sure if I am getting older and slower, or time is speeding up, but I intended to be back much sooner than this..... This was the card I made for our wee New Zealand swap group, with the eclipse background technique to be used on the background. I chose a hollyhock image from Graphics Fairy, and printed it out twice, then went to hunt for a coverdie... and 'she-who-set-the-challenge' only found one in her stash!! Oooops. But I am pleased with the result, using the Couture...

Anyone who knows me is familiar with my love of coffee and to a lesser degree tea. My husband teases me that a cup from Starbucks is the entry fee to get through the front door. It isn't quite that bad.... but it is pretty close. The Simon Says Stamp kit for the month of February is built around the "Coffee and Tea" stamp set. It also includes some pretty coffee themed patterned paper from Doodlebug "Cream & Sugar" along with some adorable shape sprinkles "Latte Love". I used my prismacolor...
