Happy Friday....just a quick post for the new Spring 2016 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I know the theme is spring and spring time is the perfect time to spend having coffee with a friend. The lower portion of my card is made from coffee Washi Tape, so much fun to use. 

I have some blog candy too for one lucky commenter...a bowl cozy (more info on what this is here) made from coffee themed fabric. I don't have the fabric yet but I have added a photo of what one looks like that I made using ice cream cone fabric.

Papertrey Ink - Make It Monday #73 - Stamping on Patterned Paper and CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #60 - Text Me

I know my card is a bit late for this weeks MIM challenge,but not too late to play along . With doing all the planning and organizing for summer school my brain has run dry on creativity.  I was really looking forward to this weekend to play check up on a bunch of challenges...so happy I have no other plans.  On this card the paper I used to stamp is PTI's Fall Prints and Patterns, I decided to use a piece of paper that was lighter in color and stamped with PTI's Linen Ink and I was very happy with the way it turned out. I used the Background Basics Newsprint for the first time and was so amazed at how each paper section just lined up so perfectly, note to self, use this set more often. After finishing up my card I realized that it worked for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge too, love it when this happens! So here is my card...thanks for taking a peek!

One Card and Three Challenges

Don't your love it when you can use one card for a few fabulous challenges.  The first two are fairly new and the last one has been around for a bit...I just love to play along on all of them, too much fun.  Retro Sketches is so amazing and reminds me of some of my favorite TV shows, like I Love Lucy and the Dick Van Dyke show, then Dynamic Duos is fabulous and they put two great colors together that I usually would not pair up.  It is nice to think a bit outside the box and CAS-ual Fridays is for cards that have clean and simple look. For Dynamic Duos this week one of the colors is gray and at first I was a bit bummed, I don't use gray paper very often and just knew I did not have any.  I remembered that I did have my stash of Bazzil that I would use for scrapbooking and there it was a nice big piece of gray, enough to use to make my card.  My inspiration for this card not only comes for the two challenge blogs I have already listed, but also from Tracey McNeely.  When I saw her card today I fell in love with the big polka dots embossing for the background, it just screamed Retro to me. Here is my card and thanks for taking a peek!

Make It Monday #56 - Die Cutting Partial Images

I finally got around to getting my MIM card made and what a fabulous technique to try out.  I tried Betsy's version several times but I guess I just don't have her magic touch, I could not get it to work.  I tried a few other ways to get the partial image cut and finally had success.  I have to say I would do this again, I really love the look of the finished card.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Make It Monday #51 Dimensional Sentiment Banner

This weeks card was learning how to make a dimensional banner and I love how quick and easy this was and gives your card a wonderful element.  I used printed paper for my background instead of stamping my own (only so much time in the day) and my new stamp set, Warm Happiness for the cup of coffee and sentiment.  I have been wanting this set for a while but always seems to get bumped off my wish list but then I saw another forum member was selling both Warm Happiness sets and the die, too good of a deal to pass up! Thanks for taking a peek!
