2018 National Coffee Day Blog Hop

Today we are excited to be a super sponsor for the National Coffee Day Blog hop! 
To see the complete hop list of super sponsors head over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers for the whole list of stops! Many of the sponsors are giving away prizes too!

PLUS - We're doing a mini blog hop today too with our Design Team! Scroll down to see the hop list at the end of this post and leave comments on their blogs for a chance to win a prize!

Here's what I created:

For my first card I used our Coffee & Wine Stamp Set to create this fun watercolor card. I splashed some purple and brown distress inks on a watercolor panel to represent coffee and wine splatters. Then I stamped the big sentiment in black and added the little mug and wine bottle at the bottom. I used a paint brush and some distress inks to color in the images. Then I used the fishtail border from our Fancy Edges Tag Die to cut the bottom. 

For the background I stamped all the small images from the set onto a piece of kraft cardstock in a random pattern with brown ink to create a nice tonal background. I added a little strip of washi tape up the side and mounted the whole thing on a dark brown card base. 

For my second card I used that cute sloth from our Slothy Coffee Stamp Set. I stamped and colored him with copics and cut him out using the coordinating Slothy Coffee Die Set. Then I decided he needed more coffee so I pulled out our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set and stamped a few coffee mugs from that set. I colored those with copics too and cut them out using the coordinating Newton Loves Coffee Die Set. 

Then I assembled my card, adding the sentiment from the Slothy Coffee Stamp Set, embossed in white on brown circle. I added a teal scalloped border using our Sky Borders Die Set. I also added some coffee beans in the background panel from our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set. A bit of twine gives it a finishing touch! 

I hope you enjoyed these two fun coffee cards today!

If you are new to us, you might not know that Newton is our real kitty! You can follow us on facebook or instagram to see lots of photos of him! By the way - Newton would be a big fan of this blog hop since he really DOES LOVE COFFEE! I can't leave it unguarded or he will come stick his paw into the mug and then lick it! Silly kitty!

Hope you enjoyed this coffee card today! Remember, you can find more super sponsor links over at the Coffee Lover's Blog.
