Coffee Loving Summer Hop


The girl is at it again [Amy Tsuruta] is Hostessing a Summer Coffee Hop, over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.  I am so there!

I wanted to use the Stamps of Life Coffee4two.  I love this cup [and the matching die] -- it's huge and perfect! :)  I also used some papers from the Celebrate Paper Pad.  The yellow dotted screams summer sun to me!  My trusty [and so old] label maker made the hb.

I went on to also play in Pretty Pink Posh Water Color Hop.  Since I used a coffee cup I thought it was appropriate to put it in this post too.

I used the [super] fun Stampin Up Perfect Blend set, using my new Zig Water Color Pens for the water coloring. [I totally love these pens!]

These hops are open to anyone! All you have to do is make a Summer Coffee Card and or a water color card and play along.  Did you see all the Sponsors? Both hops have an amazing list!

See you at the hops!


Thanks for stopping by~

Not one, but two fabulous cards, Vicki!! LOVE the yellow polka dots. They remind me of that song from the 'olden' days; "she wore an itsty-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polka dot bikini..." What's more summery than a bikini?! Love these. They make me smile. Bev
