Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Bloghop is Here!!


Yippee!!!  Today begins the Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Bloghop!  Hope you'll join this incredible week of super fun, inspiration and prizes from over 80 Super Sponsors - wow!!!



My yard has come to life over the last few weeks - lots of green and pops of color.  We also have some 'brown' around as some of our bushes didn't make it this year :(  All in all, I'm enjoy the lush greenery and gorgeous weather -- this is my most favorite time of year!!  And, of course, sitting out on the patio with my favorite brew makes it even better!


My cards for the first day of the Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Bloghop were created with the newest coffee goodies from STAMPlorations!  For the card above, I used the beautiful Zen Coffee Background 2 that I colored with copics.  The sentiment was cut from gold, shiny cardstock using the new Coffee Fix Phrase Die.

The card below features a gorgeous, new background die: Zen Coffee 1 Cover Plate Die which I used the inlaid die technique to 'color' in.  To finish, I cut red cardstock using the Coffee Word Die.
