Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop Day 2: Super Sponsor The Cat's Pajamas!

Hello there inky friends!  It's DAY 2 of the Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer hop and today I'm sharing a fun and festive card featuring a brand new digi set available from The Cat's Pajamas!  This set is available for FREE...so hop on over and pick it up!  It's called "Essential PJ" set and it's perfect for a pick-me-up and for that little chuckle everyone needs from time to time. 

I paired it up with an old TCP spring/summer die set of cute button-like flowers called "Flower Buttons".  Aren't they cute?

After coloring printing the image (and the sentiments on the inside and back of my card), I cut them out and colored them with Copic Markers.  I then assembled the flowers and the image onto the cardfront using foam squares.  To finish off the small flowers, I used Liquid Pearls and added some microfine glitter to make the centers sparkle.  

I don't like "naked" buttons so of course I had to tie some Hemptique twine in various coordinating colors through the holes.  :)

Thanks to The Cat's Pajamas Stamps for being such a Super Sponsor!  I'll be back again tomorrow with another fun project featuring another Super Sponsor's products!  See you in hop land!  PS...Make sure to share your creations too.  I can't wait to check out the goodies today!!!

To create my card, I cut and pasted the digi images into an MS Word document and created a background image with the cup and heart digi.  After creating the digital design to my liking, I printed the images and fussy cut the bears.  I then went to town coloring with Copic markers.

After coloring, I added a few bits of Opaque White Gelly Roll pen for highlights and then assembled my card.  As with almost all of my card, I made sure to add some ribbon with a fun button treatment.

All the Boba of the Rainbow! Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hey there inky friends!  I'm hopping in to add one more card to the pot!  Are you hopping along with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer hop?  Check it out HERE! I've got a whole week + of projects ready to share and I'm excited to be hopping along with so many of my fellow crafty peeps!  Whether you love coffee, tea, or cocoa, this hop encourages all to stamp and create using images that tug at our tastebuds!  MMM right?  

Since my other posts today focus on COFFEE, I thought I'd share a fun BOBA card!  I LOVE boba tea and I'm always trying to create my own fruity/tasty recipes.  Do you like Boba tea?  What's your favorite flavor?  I think mine are Taro Milk tea and Pineapple Mango Boba tea!  SO DEELISH.  My card today features Graciellie Design's new Boba set called Bubbly Feels.  I decided to recreate rainbow of deliciousness right on my card!  

Since Gracie's images are digital I can adjust the size of each image and manipulate the design to fit my needs.  I created this little rainbow row of cups by inserting the boba tea cup into an MSWord document then copied and pasted the image into a row.  I then placed the sentiment under the row in perfect position.  

Printing and coloring these images with Copics is a breeze.  No bleed whatsoever!  After coloring, I applied some glaze to give the cups some shine and some dimension. 

Thanks for hopping over and enjoy the rest of the hop!  Make sure to join the fun too!  There are SOOOO many inspirational projects every time, tons of fun and TONS of prizes!
