National Coffee Day Blog Hop 2024

 

Hi Everyone - welcome to our National Coffee Day 2024 - Blog Hop!  This is a hop that is near and dear to my heart - because any of you who know me know I have a coffee addiction.  So, let's celebrate that addiction together.  Be sure to scroll down through the entire post for information on how you can win a fun prize in my giveaway. 

So, I'm excited to share some fun "coffee" themed creations with you - my first uses Stampin' Up!'s super fun "More than Autumn" stamp/die bundle.

Item #164076 More than Autumn bundle $47.50

It has fast become a favorite - and I can't wait to continue to find more cute ways to use it.  For this card I chose to blend some Cajun Craze ink onto a layer of Crushed Curry cardstock, and scatter the spice and pumpkin words for a cute background.

Next I stamped the adorable to go cup in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored using our Stampin' Up! blends - 

Then put it all together with a Cajun Craze CS layer on a Basic White base; popped up the coffee cup; added some hearts and gems; and finished with a double bow of linen thread - a card after my own heart lol!

I also finished the inside of the card - making it ready to send out to some fabulous person in my life.

 

And if you know me - I disdain naked envelopes - so had to finish that off too - 

Made a second card but with the addition of the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and the Autumn Leaves dies.  Mixing this all up made this beautiful card.  NOTE: if you like those background leaves, be sure to check out my giveaway below.

This embossing folder is beautiful, and I embossed just a portion of the inside to tie it together.

The final touch was embossing the flap on the envelope - just love this look - hope you like it too!
