Hey friends! I’m super excited that my friend Shanna invited me to be her coffee date on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today. We decided to play along with the Newton’s Nook Inky Paws Challenge, plus Twiddler’s Nook tools and embellishments. Oh boy did I have fun!
Here’s a peek at the card I created but all the details are on the Coffee Lovers blog HERE if you’d like to read more.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Hey friends! I’m stopping by today with an extra Miss Ink Stamps card to celebrate the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop! Miss Ink is a super sponsor and has a super fun array of caffeinated products to create with!
I started by stamping and coloring the gorgeous image in Coffee with copic markers. Then I fussy cut it out. Yes, you read that right. I actually fussy cut something. Then I die cut a circle and heat embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set on it.
Last week I created a rainbow card when I used the outside frame from the EIEIO Frame dies. Well, of course I kept the inner scalloped rectangle and today I’m using it on this card. I went ahead and cut a vellum stitched rectangle from the same die set.
To put everything together, I started with the coffee cup and sentiment, gluing them together with liquid glue. Then I added foam tape to the back and adhered them to the vellum. I hid adhesive behind those two things to attach the vellum to the scalloped panel. Then I tied my twine around the top before adding foam tape to the back so I could avoid that area. I attached the main panel to the card front and added some glossy accents to the flower.
Are you playing along with the Coffee Lovers Hop? There are so many sales and prizes and tons of fun! I hope you are!

Happy Wednesday friends! I’m happy to be over on the Newton’s Nook blog today with another dose of caffeinated inspiration to get you through the Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop week. I’ll be linking this card up for sure. I hope you’re playing along too. There are lots of fun prizes up for grabs, including one from Newton’s Nook!
I just adore the images and sentiments in the Sips & Stories stamp set so I pulled that out to play with today. I chose my favorite image and colored her up with copic markers. Then I used the coordinating die to cut the image out and set it aside.
After flipping through the Coffee House Stories paper pad, I chose two patterns – one for my focal panel and one for the card front. I cut the focal panel from the largest Frames & Flags die set, then also die cut a black banner while I had it out. I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on that.
As I was finalizing my layout, I wanted something subtle behind the image so I added a scalloped vellum circle cut from one of the Circle Frames dies. My polka dot panel is adhered with liquid glue, then the cups are popped up on foam tape. The image and sentiment banner are glued together and popped up on the vellum circle with foam tape as well. I hid some liquid adhesive behind the image to add the vellum circle to the card front. For finishing touches I added Touch of Gloss to the pillows and kitty nose.

It’s time for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Hop so I’m popping in with some caffeinated inspiration to share with you. I always have fun with these because I can mix and match all the companies and create whatever suits me. I love it!
A few weeks ago I shared a card for Doodlebugs that used the inlay pieces from this Mama Elephant frame, but there was no way I was wasting the frame. It turned out to be perfect for my card today!
I colored some Mama Elephant Little Agenda Snowmen and die cut them. Then snagged an extra sentiment I saved from the Mama Elephant Easy Xmas Greetings. These sets are fun because they stamp and die cut three sentiments at a time.
I inked up a background panel with the Newton’s Nook Holiday Foliage stencil, then went over the whole panel with a light layer of the same inks I used on the stencil. This gives a great glow around the images. I love it.
Then I added all of my pieces with foam strips and squares. Finished touches were just some glossy accents on the snowman noses, candy cane and holly berries.
Are you linking up with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Hop? So many fun prizes up for grabs! Come play with us!

Happy National Coffee Day friends! I’m so happy to be sponsoring the Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop once again. I have lots of fun products in my shop to fuel your love for coffee, along with others too! I invite you to take a minute to check it out. We’re even having a sale for the duration of the hop!
Today I also have a fun card to share with you for inspiration using some of our embellishments, and of course I used our handy tools while creating my card too!
I started by inking up a panel with the Newton’s Nook Mugs stencil. I used green, pink and brown for my color palette today. I trimmed it down a smidge and inserted it into a Tonic Studios full card shaker pocket, leaving one end open to fill up. I chose Pixie Dust Micro Beads and Princess Rings for my shaker bits today. Then sealed the last opening up.
I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Newton’s Nook’s Time for Coffee stamp set. I cut it out with a circle from the Frames Squared dies and then chose the larger circle from Circle Frames to cut as a mat. I used liquid glue to adhere them together and popped them up with foam squares on my card front.
Next, I stamped and colored a mug and steam from the same stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I adhered them with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares.
I used tear tape to adhere the shaker to a card base so the adhesive was nice and strong. Then I finished things off with Touch of Gloss to the dots on my coffee mug and two clay hearts to my sentiment.
