Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop Begins NOW!

Hello there coffee loving crafters!  I'm so excited to begin the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers HOP today with everyone!  I've been gathering stamps and creating fun projects to share throughout the week and I can't wait to share them with everyone.  I can't wait to see what YOU have to share too!  

I want to say thank you to all 73 of our Super Sponsors joining in on the fun and want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY and SUPPORT!  This "little" hop is always a RAY of Sunshine for many of us stampers and creators and this season, it brings some much needed LOVE and LIGHT to  us all!  Thank you to all the hoppers too!  Without YOU, we'd be just STUCK!

For my first project, I decided to work with Super Sponsor Graciellie Design's brand new COFFEE SET.  You can check it out HERE.  

I started out by creating a RAINBOW COLLECTION of ATC cards to add to some white cardfronts. I think they turned out so HAPPY and encouraging.  The whole collection of cards will make someone smile!  

 Look at that line-up!  There's just something so happy about a rainbow!  Take a closer peek and you'll notice I added some coordinating "flicks" to each ATC and each card base so that the ATC blends seamlessly....yet makes that ATC the STAR!  Don'tcha just love it!?

 YUM!...

 Rainbows of fun!

And here you have it all wrapped up in a rainbow of Hemptique twine.  WAHOO!

Thanks for hopping over and I'll see you along the hop!  :).

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!
