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!

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.

Uncork and Unwind! This vibrant card by Samantha features the wine images from the new Wine A Little Stamp Set. I love how she created a puddle of purple watercolor underneath the images and a teal pop of watercolor across the top! 

Tatiana created a fabulous watercolored card using the new little Coffee & Wine Stamp Set. She used all the smaller images in the set to create a fun background pattern and loosely watercolored over them. Then she used the big sentiment embossed in white on a black circle in the center! So stunning! 

Larissa created this wonderful tabletop scene using the wine glasses, bottles, corkscrew and corks from the new Wine A Little Stamp Set. She also added in the grapes and smaller wine bottle from the Coffee & Wine Stamp Set, fussy cutting out the images. For the background she created a subtle striped wallpaper using the serene Stripes Stencil. 

This fun interactive card was created by Naki. She used the bottle and cord from the new WWine A Little Stamp Set and created a slider above the bottle so you can "uncork" it. So fun! She also added in some grapes from the Coffee & Wine Stamp Set and a fun striped background using the Serene Stripes Stencil. The fun postage edged border was cut out using the Framework Die Set.

This elegant wine themed card was created by Maria. She used the big sentiment from the Coffee & Wine Stamp Set in the center, accenting it with square frames and then filled the background the smaller images from the set. The vibrant colors really makes those little images pop! 

This gorgeous wine themed card was created by Juliana. She stamped the images from the Wine A Little Stamp Set and cut them out with their coordinating die set to layer them onto a black tag. The tag was cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She also used our Bubbly Stencil to create a fun bubble background panel. 

This wine card by Holly is so stunning! She stamped the wine images from the Wine A Little Stamp Set and colored them in shades of grey for her background. The one vibrant bottle and glass of wine really pop over that grey background. 

The colors on this card by Amanda are so gorgeous and vibrant! She used the big sentiment from our little Coffee & Wine Stamp Set and surrounded it by the smaller images in the set. What a fun way to create a simple, yet stunning layout! 

This celebratory tag by Ellen would be perfect to add onto a gifted bottle of wine! She created the tag using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set (making the tag longer), and added a fun bubbly background using our Bubbly Stencil. Then she layered the wine images over the top from the new Wine A Little Stamp Set. She also added the "cheers" die cut from the Cocktail Mixer Die Set. So fun and festive!

This sweet and simple card by Jennifer lets the sentiment steal the show. She stamped the sentiment from the Coffee & Wine Stamp Set over lovely striped background that was created using the new Serene Stripes Stencil. Then she added on the little cup of coffee and bottle of wine to pair perfectly with the sentiment! So simple and fun!
