Hello! Today is Day Six of the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I’m so thrilled to be a part of this hop and hope you enjoy all the inspiration!
I managed to create this yesterday afternoon. It’s been quite warm here in Washington so my Craft Studio gets hit with the afternoon sun = too hot to craft too long….whew!
cardstock: recollections/110, stampin’ up basic black stamps: sweet stamp shop/cuppa coffee, kellie stamps set ink: ranger archival black other: top dog dies/mini coffee, stampin’ up embossing folder, starbucks coffee sleeve
For you challenge junkies, can you guess what inspired my card? This is actually the 2nd version of the card. The first one wasn’t hitting me but I’m keeping the pieces for another day. Did I mention how HOT it gets in my studio…
White is so fun to photog {so not serious}….Do you see the embossed coffee cups? I used a Starbucks coffee sleeve to die cut the sweet scalloped sleeves from the Top Dog Dies Mini Coffee Die Set. Yes, they’re on SALE people…until June 15th. It’s the coffee sleeve that gets me…do you see the piercings along the scallops? sooooooo SWEET. Top Dog Dies is one of our NEW Super Sponsors for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop <– they’re giving away
Top Dog Dies Coffee Cup and Finishers Die Set!!
The ‘coffee’ stamp is from Sweet Stamp Shop’s new sets, Cuppa Coffee.
Sweet Stamp Shop is another NEW Super Sponsor for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Check out all the sets they are doing as a giveaway for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:
So back to my card, I was thoroughly inspired by the wonderful Michele Ferguson via Muse:
Inspired by:
White space ✔
Trio of elements✔
Botanical dry embossing✔
Pops of black✔
Check out the awesome Field Notebook I picked up at the Seattle Roastery:
Yes, I even picked up the menu’s because, hey, we crafters can work magic with anything (wink). The cover of the notebook is birch wood veneer…very coolio.
All you have to do is leave me a comment and a way to reach out to you in case you’re the lucky duck! Commenting will be open until Saturday, June 13th @ 11:59 pm pacific. Winner to be posted sometime on my blog Sunday, June 14th!
PLEASE check THIS out to fix it if you are….there are a ton of people that don’t realize that they are indeed a no-reply blogger.
Have tons of fun hoppin’….I know I will♡

Would you believe I guessed, amy? I saw the embossing right off, and thought hmmmm… that's the same e.f. I used on my Muse card!!! You are the best and brightest, my friend! LOve the die, by the by… and the stamps … would love any of these in my stash! Thanks, sweet one, for playing cards with me at Muse!

Beautiful cards! I really love the coffee one and I can see the embossing on the cup and it is awesome (what embossing folder did you use?) and I love that you recycled a starbucks sleeve! Love the CAS look of your Quick note card!
I LOVE this! Those little cups are just ADORABLE! Super sweet card!
And you crack me up with how HOT it is for you! LOL Now, would not be the time for you to come visit me! We have been in the 90's and that's not even including the humidity!…Though, I on the other hand LOVE it. 😉 Hope you stay nice and cool…remember, it could be worse. lol 😉
Totally awesome, Amy, Love your card, love the die and stamps, love the little field notebook! Yet another fun coffee card! Have a wonderful Wednesday…cool or warm, everyone still loves their coffee!

You are so creative, Amy! LOVE the white on white and embossed to-go cups a latte 😉
Hot doesn't even begin to cover it. My hobby room is in the garage, so I can only create in the mornings with the garage door open. I completely understand. Love what you have done with the white on white embossing. The sleeve die cuts are so sweet. <3 Thanks for all the enabling you are doing this week. 🙂
AWESOME! The row of cups looks amazing!
It's going to be a glorious 70 here today, though later we're getting more rain. (I hate low pressure centers…) Hope you get some cooler weather so you can spend days and days in the craft room creating more beauties like this. Love this sweet trio of cups, and the embossing, and the sleeves…oh heck…this whole card rocks! As per usual. Thanks for making this hop as wonderful as it is. This is so much fun. Bev
lovely projects!! 🙂
I love this card! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing! ~Annie

Great card! I love how you incorporated the Starbucks logo 🙂
Aww such a cute card!
Amy, another beautiful card from you. You are very creative. 😀
I so hear you about photographing white! Sometimes I find myself designing my cards so they'll be easier to photograph! lol! I love your coffee-themed take on this week's Muse – so glad you joined us Amy!
So cute. I like the embossed cups.

OMGosh this is so super cute and so are the stamps you showed, love it all. Thanks for the chance to win. hollysilva911@hotmail.com
Huh. I coulda sworn I already commented on this, LOL. I'm losing my ever loving mind! But…it is pretty darn awesome, regardless.
These are the most darling mugs! LOVE these cards ♥
The embossing on the cups are great. The dies are super sweet. Love all the details. Have a great weekend.
Sounds like you need an air conditioner because you can't let hot weather get in the way of crafting! ha! The first design is CAS perfection and the retro mod feel of the second card is divine!
more awesomeness! love it!
Love your elegant white card. The embossed cups looks fabulous, and I love the coffee sleeve die cut. Too cute.
Too much creativity in your creations Amy!!!! Amazing results!! TFS!!!
AWESOME!!
