National Coffee Day: Super Sponsor Joy Clair

Hello again coffee loving crafty peeps!  I hope you've been having fun getting inspired by all the gorgeous creations made featuring our Super Sponsors at Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!  Today I'm joining the National Coffee Day blog hop challenge and am sharing a few cards featuring our Super Sponsors!  I like to keep manufacturer posts separate, so I've got several blog posts today so I hope you check 'em all out!  For this post, I pulled out a favorite set from Super Sponsor Joy Clair!

I've been having a rough patch with school and my health so I created a few cards for my school peeps who have been there for me when I've been a crazy wreck.  I appreciate their listening ears and their support more than they know.  Hopefully things will become a bit more sunshiny and happy in the near future.  

I decided to use a few sets that work perfectly for my "thanks" cards to these special peeps.  I used "TEACHER" set and the paw prints from the "DOG GONE CHRISTMAS" set.  Although my school mascot is a Wildcat, I think the paw print fits nicely.  I also used our school colors to make these more customized.  

I created a couple different versions:  one design for my awesome teamies and another design for my administrators.  

Just a few copics were needed to create this fun school themed collection!  

Thanks for hopping over to check out these little cards.  I hope you make sure to head over to the Coffee Lovers National Coffee Day Hop and check out all the super sponsor posts!  Make sure to leave comments.  You'll have until Sunday, Oct. 6 at 11:59 Pacific time to have a chance to win the prizes available for this hop!  

See you soon!  

National Coffee Day: Super Sponsor Pink and Main!

Hello there coffee-loving crafters!  WOO HOO!  Today's the day!  National Coffee Day is here and I've got several projects to share with you.  I like to keep manufacturers separate (just one of my quirks) so check out my other posts today to get your coffee fix!  

For this post, I'm featuring some fun new crafty goodies I purchased from Pink and Main.  They have several inky coffee sets and of course I had to jump on the "PUMPKIN SPICE" set.  I paired it up with the fun "FOUR POINT STAR" stencil.  

I started out by using my blending brush to create a fun lime green background.  I then used my Misti to stamp the images with black ink and then fussy cut/colored them.  I used the following Copic colors to make the images come to life:  YR16, YR18, YR24, YR61, Y23, YG 25, V04, V12, E50

To finish off my card, added the sentiment and then tied some orange satin ribbon around the card.  Finally, I attached a green button with some Hemptique twine.

I also created a cute little matching tag with some of the additional pumpkin spice images in this set.  NOM NOM NOM!

 A closer peek will show the colors and the yummy detail of these fun images!
