The hop is from November 12-November 19, 2021.   LINK UP your Fall/Winter COFFEE, TEA or HOT COCOA projects for a chance to win (pssst...there are TONS of prizes to be won from our fabulous Super Sponsors!! Winners are randomly selected from entries)!  Enter as many projects as you'd like!  This hop is SO much fun and filled with incredible inspiration, too -- see you on the hop!

 I usually do not use digital images -- but when I do they are from Graciellie Designs!  Her designs are just gorgeous and sets come with fabulous sentiments - even digital papers!

For my cards, I used the Cup of Cheer Mega Set!  It just makes me think of enjoying a festive - and delicious - Christmastime treat!

For my next card, I actually combined one of the images from the Cup of Cheer set with Christmas Cheer set!

Prize: $10 Gift Card to Graciellie Design – Commenting open through August 30th with the winner announced on Saturday, September 1st. Winner selected from the comments across all of the participating blogs.

Gracie's digital designs are so beautiful and easy to create with such as the set featured today:  Stay Strong.

For my first card, I layered a soft blue/green dotted pattern paper to the cardbase.  Then, I created a background using Tim Holtz Clockwork Brick Stencil and distressed oxide ink.  I then colored in the coffee cup and flower; placing the flower in the center and finishing by adding the sentiment.

I'm not much of a digital stamper, but Graciellie Designs are so simple to color, cut, and create making cardmaking a breeze!  I also like that you can easily resize images! But if you like stamps, this beautiful set is now available at Unity Stamps!!

For my second card, I layered orange and green dotted pattern paper to the base.  I then colored and cut the coffee cups and flowers; arranging them on the card using 3D dots.  I cut the sentiment using a tag by Reverse Confetti and added the bow.  To finish, I added some dark peach pearl embellishments to the card and coffee-colored liquid pearls to the flower centers and 'chocolate pieces' in the whipped cream image.

Be sure to stop by the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog and hop along to see the amazing creations made with Graciellie Designs Stay Strong set!

Coffee & Flowers

I definitely love coffee and flowers...and I also love this new digital stamp set from Graciellie Design!

 For my card, I layered gray dotted pattern paper onto the base then added a gold check pattern paper.  The gorgeous image was copic colored then fussy cut.  To finish, I added the layered sentiment and black/white tie. 

 Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
