Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

This is our second post today - to check out our new release blog hop winners, scroll down or click here


Today I'm playing along with the very fun Coffee Lovers blog hop.
There are going to be TONS of fun prizes too - including a chance to win our new
Newton Loves Coffee stamp set from us at Newton's Nook Designs! 
You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog for more details on how to play along! 

I thought I'd use our BRAND NEW Newton Loves Coffee stamp set! Playing along in this hop the last couple of years is one of the things that inspired me to create this stamp set. Plus, there are so many coffee lovers in my family that I knew it would be so fun to use this set to make them cards too! I'm sure many of you can relate!


Birthday Cat and Coffee Card by Jennifer Jackson  | Newton Loves Coffee stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #coffee

For my card, I stamped the kitty with the French Press onto watercolor paper and colored him using a combo of Zig Clean Color brush markers and Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Then I carefully fussy cut him out - you can tell in the close up that I need a bit more practice with this but if you don't look too close it looks pretty good! 

I created a background with an inked edge using distress inks since the white paper seemed too stark. I also stamped some of the little bold coffee mugs onto the background paper to add a bit more fun detail. I also added the "a birthday brew just for you" sentiment - since I seem to ALWAYS need birthday cards!
