CutCardStock Day

For today's card I used CutCardStock papers; 130# White Heavy [tag base] and Textured Caribbean Blue.

I started by cutting a bookmark, and stenciling it with Newtons Nook Mug Stencil. I then stamped, cut, and colored [Copics] the stack of coffee cups from Newtons Nook Coffee Delights, and adhering them onto the bookmark.  These Newton nook products were my prize from the last CLH.  

For an added "gift", I adhered the bookmark onto a stenciled card base.

And, that my friends is it for today.  See you next week~

2026 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop Sponsors

Hey All, it's that fun time of year for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop for Sponsors!  I am starting out with a card made with STAMPlorations products, as they are one of the Sponsors for this event. Let's get to my card, and more information will follow at the end of this post.

To make this card, I used the following STAMPlorations products;  The Coffee House Collage Paper, 

and the [so fun] Anywhere There's Coffee Stamp Set.  For added interest, I made it a shaker card cup.

There is a $20 prize code randomly picked from comments over on the STAMPlorations Blog post.

There will also be 3 randomly picked commenters for a $10 prize code from the STAMP Designer's blogs! [You can see those over on the STAMP blog.] The prize codes will be drawn after this hop ends.

Have fun checking out all the Sponsors and prize potential.

Yep, this totally inspired me!!

I started by pulling out the 3 colors from my CutCardStock papers, and then using some Elizabeth Craft Designs products to cut out those images.  

So easy, but I am loving this end result!

Instagram May Patterned Paper Party Hop

  

I'm really enjoying playing along with these hops.  I was sad to miss a couple of them [last month].  That said, I'm playing in today's Patterned Paper Party Hop.  The side theme; distress.

I used one of the retired Elizabeth Craft Designer Paper Pads.  I am loving the mix of colors in this pad.

Add a geometric die, and yep, I'm loving this card.

As you can see I distressed the edges of both the panel, and the card base.  

Do you have a lot of DP hanging around?  Want to see more ways to use it?  Pop on over to the Patterned Paper Party Hop and check out the designers creations in the hop HERE.

Instagram May ATC Hop

This challenge/hop is so fun for me!  I went a digging and found these feathers I had pre-cut and then never used.  Well, I get to today!  I also went into my paper box and found scraps to use for the background, and the sentiments were in my extra sentiment box.  There's a complete win for this hop.

Once again, I am thrilled with these tiny works of art!
