Colorado Craft Company May Release Blog Hop

Hey everyone! Today I am thrilled to be joining the new Colorado Craft Company Release Blog Hop with this coffee-themed card! There isn’t a day that goes by that doesn’t start with a nice cup of coffee, so when I saw this Anita Jeram stamp set I knew I had to make a card with it!

Isn’t it the cutest?

To go with the coffee vibes, I stamped my images with brown ink and then I colored them with Illustrator Markers.
Once the coloring was over, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For the background I used the ink smooshing technique and Distress Ink in Ground Espresso.

I mounted everything on some teal cardstock and finished off my card with some iridescent confetti.

To celebrate this awesome release, Colorado Craft Company put together a blog hop with giveaways! Make sure to leave a comment to be entered to win a 25$ GC to the Colorado Craft Company store! The winner will be picked on the 19th and announced on the 20th here on my blog.

Happy hopping!

    I like the coffee splattered walls. I guess it would be messy for mice to make coffee. The mice are my favorite of the stamp sets. LOVE THEM.

    I like the teal and the pop of the purple on your cute coffee drinkers prepping the French Press card! I can see why you created this fun scene. I believe that my new favorite is the home sweet home.
    PS I watch your videos a lot but never thought to see if you had a blog; so glad I found you over here! πŸ™‚

    Adorable card! I love that you tied in the background color and also stamped the mice in brown. It gives the card a very cohesive feel. By the way, recently found you on YouTube and am enjoying catching up on your videos.
