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!

Memory Box Day

I'm back today with a new release for Memory Box, !  While it's a small release, it's pretty awesome!

For my card today, I used almost the entire release.  Don't worry, there still is another surprise you will see next week.  That said, let's get to today's card:

I used the following [new] products to make this card; Cinched Frames, Wild Leaves Dies, Rustic Watering Can Die.  I used the 6x6 Greenery Solid Colored Cardstock Pad for the leaves, and Birthday Greetings for the sentiment.

I'm kinda loving the bright green colors with the neutral background too.

I'll be back with the last of the new release next week~

We are off for another CutCardStock Saturday!  I needed a masculine card, so graphic it is!

I used the following CCS card stocks; Textured Peach, Textured Adobo Orange, Textured Rubber Ducky, and Black Eclipse.  Of course, the card base is my standard, 130# White Heavy.

I'm hoping my son likes this card!

See you next week~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #308 - Travel

I thought about creating a card with a plane for this challenge.  However, I always use a plane for this type of challenge.  So, I went a digging into some really older stamps I have.  I found one from Innovative Stamp Creations.  [I was on the Design Team back in 2010!]. I was happy to see she is still in business!

This image is called Summer Vacation, and is perfect for this "travel" challenge (IMO).  I also used a butterfly from Clearly Besotted, and a sentiment from Tim Holtz.

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to ATCAS #308, and show us how you use travel with your card.

This had perfect timing for me!

I won this pretty stencil over on Instagram and, I couldn't wait to use it!  This challenge is perfect!

STAMPlorations Spring Fling

STAMPlorations is having a fun Spring Fling!  There is lots of beautiful products showcased by the Team.  I have 3 of them for you!

I am starting with the [stunning] Color Me Spring ATCs.  They can be used as an actual ATC, but I also like using them on a card base.  I also used the Hugs Word Die.

The designs are so stunning, I love showing them off!

----------------------

Another set; Whimsical Houses ATCs, with the background of Botanical Beats.  I adore this!  I also used the Skinny Sentiments.

Just keep in mind, I am only using 1 image - there are 6 awesome houses in this set!

--------------------------------

This last one, just be still my heart!  I circle cut one image from Retro Femme [pack of 6 images also], and added one of the Powerful Women ATCs.  [I loved how this card turned out!] There are 18 pieces, 2 of each design in this set.  I also used the Patches Stencil for the background.

Okay, that's it for my projects!  You gotta pop on over and see what the Team have created over on the STAMPlorations Blog.  You will be happy you did!

I do use affiliate links - no extra charge to you.  Thanks for your support~
