Any Coffee Lover's Out There?

Hi friends and Happy Friday!

Kat Scrappiness is pleased to be a super sponsor for the Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop for the Fall/Winter 2022.

The design team members have joined in to show you some of the fun and coffee themed cards they made using some of the Kat Scrappiness “Coffee” related products.

We currently have over 100 Coffee themed products available here!

I have never done paper piecing before, and I thought that I would try my hand!  I thought that the Rise & Shine Coffee Background Dies would be a great way to try this technique, as it provides a great form to lay the pieces into.  No steady hands required!   I used a couple of the patterned papers from the Cuppa Love 6 x 8 Paper Pad for most of the piecing and supplemented it with some cardstock from my stash.   I used the Layered Got Coffee? Word Dies for my sentiment and added some Brown Diamond Rhinestones for some bling. 

Remember, *everything* in our “Coffee” Category is 10% off from NOV 11-18TH!!!! use coupon code: “CAFFEINE2022” for 10% off your order).

Since Kat Scrappiness is a super sponsor, we will be giving away a $25.00 gift card to the store to a lucky entry at the Coffee Lovers Hop Main Post!!!

A Yawn is a Silent Scream for Coffee!

Hello friends!  Today, I am sharing another card that I created for the Kat Scrappiness Perk Up Release and also for a coffee-themed card swap that I participated in.  

This release is full of anything and everything a coffee lover could ask for, so it was right up my alley!  I started with a base of brown heavyweight cardstock and a panel of metallic copper card stock. 

I did something that I have never done before. I stenciled over patterned paper, and I love the result.  

I used the Coffee Splatter 6 x 6 Stencil with Walnut Stain Distress Ink over the coffee bean page from the Cuppa Love 6 x 8 Paper Pad.  I love how it looks like I actually spilled my coffee on the card. 

I stamped the coffee pot from the Perk Up Stamp Set in Walnut Stain Distress Ink and embossed the sentiment using Dino Dust Embossing Powder from Kindred Stamps.   I then die-cut the image using the coordinating Perk Up Dies.

Lastly, I wrapped the card panels in bronze metallic thread, tied a loopy bow and popped the coffee pot up on foam squares.   I hope that my swap partner loves the card as much as I do!  It was tons of fun to create! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would love it if you would leave me a comment telling me if you are Team Coffee or Team Tea!

Sip Happens!

 Hi friends!  I am just popping in to share this fun shaker card that I made for the Kat Scrappiness Perk Up Release.  This release is perfect for coffee lovers like myself!  

Using the Cuppa Love Shaker Dies, I die-cut my shaker elements - the top layer was cut from the Cuppa Love 6 x 6 Paper Pack and I cut the background from holographic paper that I had in my stash, along with a spoon from the holographic paper.  I filled the shaker with some chunky glitter and the Coffee to Go Sprinkles and I set it aside.

I layered several card panels together and wrapped them with irridescent white embroidery thread.  I adhered the spoon and my shaker to the card front.  I embossed the sentiment from the Perk Up Stamp Set and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. Lastly, I added a loopy bow.

I hope that you love this card as much as I do!  Please head over to the shop and check out all of the amazing goodness!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Make Me Coffee and Tell Me I'm Pretty!

  Hello friends!  I am so excited to share my first ever project for Eyelet Outlet!  One of the things that I love most about Eyelet Outlet is all of the amazing embellishments that they carry!  There is literally something for every single project you can think of. 

Have you jumped on the Memory Dex train yet?  I am just getting started and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to use some of the fun embellishments that they have to offer in the Eyelet Outlet store.  If you know me, you know that I love everything about coffee, so this adorable image and sentiment from the Cute Girls Coffee stamp set really resonated with me!

I colored up this little cutie with Copics (colors listed below) and cut her out.  I embossed my sentiment in white and cut the strips into banners.  I die-cut three Memory Dex cards - two from solid card stock and one from patterned paper.  I trimmed the patterned paper dex card to 2" tall and adhered it to one of the solid cards.  I wrapped Sparkle Pink Glitter Washi Tape around the card and adhered the other solid card to the back.  I fun flocked the little puffs of steam, to add some texture to them and adhered the sentiment flags to the back of my main image and then adhered it to the card.  Lastly, I added some pretty pink pearls as embellishment. 

Shopping List:

Coffee, anyone?

 Hi friends!  I hope that you are having an amazing week!  I am so thankful it is Friday. Phew!  Wasn't sure I was going to make it.... 

Today, I am sharing this super fun gift card holder that I created to showcase the sweet Brew It Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm!   I seriously had SO much fun creating it.

I colored Anya with Copic markers (colors listed below), cut her out and set her aside.   Ages ago, I purchased the Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder Honey Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps and I had never used it, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to give it a go. 

This die set was so incredibly easy to put together. I die-cut the holder using 80# white card stock.  I had tried with 110# and I found it was a bit too thick once the layers were added for it to close properly.  I die-cut the outer layers from Stampin' Up Butterfly Bijou DSP.  It coordinated with Anya's outfit so well! Using the die for the coffee sleeve, I cut it out of kraft card stock and I heat embossed the "enjoy" sentiment from the Celebrate and Enjoy stamp set.   I drew the stitching on the sleeve using a white gelly roll pen.  Once I had all of the elements ready, I adhered Anya to the sleeve so that she would hold the coffee cup lid flat. 

Colors Used: 

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Hair - E29, E08, E13

Clothing - BG15, BG13, BG11, BG10, C10, C8, C6, C4, C2, C0

Cup (Lid) - C2, C1, C0

I hope that you love her as much as I do!  I think this will make a fabulous gift!  

A HUGE thank you to The Greeting Farm for providing such wonderful images to work with!  If you have not been to their store, please go check them out!
