Coffee Blog Hop Day 2

 Today is Day 2 for the Coffee Blog Hop! I realize that I neglected to leave a link for the hop on my post from yesterday (OOPS!!) It's being hosted over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers and you will find so many amazing cards and inspiration!  For today's card I created this pretty in pink tea card.  I dug out some pattern paper I've  had for quite a long time and thought they really brought this card together!  I inked the edges of the sentiment and added Nuvo Drops as accents.  Let me know what you think!

Coffee Blog Hop

I am participating in what seemingly is an annual coffee, tea, and cocoa  blog hop.  Well I LOVE coffee, tea, cocoa and I love making cards, so this seems like a match made in heaven!  What more can a gal ask for?!  I love using vintage papers, distressing and making things look older than they are. I have always had a flair for vintage and when I came across these amazing digital vintage papers and ephemera, the cards I was able to create were pretty cool if you ask me.  This is a week long hop so each day I will  post a different card that will be themed with either coffee, tea or cocoa and today it's a tea and coffee theme!

I don't know about you but during the winter here in the states, I tend to drink more hot tea, especially in the evening. I enjoy a nice hot cup of chamomile that helps me unwind and relax just before bed.  Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog post, I would love it if you would post a comment and let me know what you think and maybe even follow!  Have a great day!

Coffee Clutch

I was recently asked to create some coffee cards to sell for a friend of mine, in her newly found home business company called Java Momma. Java Momma is a home-based business created to sell quality coffee, tea, herbal tea, tisanes and cocoa. Being a lover of both coffee and tea, I was excited to oblige! What further sparked my creativity was using a digital kit and ephemera from an online company called, Taylormadecards4u. I really love how these cards turned out and now they are for sale in my friends online coffee/tea group. I am also entering these into a challenge on Crafter's Castle Blog. Listed down below will be the items I used to create these cards.

For these cards I used Kraft paper, Neehah 80# cardstock, Hammermill 60# paper to print the digital images on, Tim Holtz distressed inks: vintage photo, gathered twigs and brushed corduroy. I also embossed a fancy paper clip to use too. The kits I used to create these cards from Taylormadecards4u were: An English Garden, Coffee and Tea Labels, Coffee Blend Paper pack, Coffee Dictionary Page, Cofee Labels 1, Coffee Labels Set, Tea and Coffees, and Coffee Large Flash Cards. As you can see, I was able to create an amazing variety of coffee/tea/cocoa cards simply using digital kits!
