Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 1

Hi friends! It's that special time of year when all the blogs are decked out in coffee, tea and cocoa finery! The Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop kicks off today and I have a bunch of fun projects I can't wait to share with you over the coming week!

For today's post, I'm sharing a couple of cards made with Sweet 'n Sassy stamps. They're one of the fabulous Super Sponsors along the hop. At last count I think there were 87 super sponsors this go round and that means tons of AMAZING prizes for participating. Link up your hot beverage fall or winter themed projects over on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker Blog now through December 7 for a chance to win!

Okay, so this first card might just be my most mailable card yet! Can you believe an almost one layer card from yours truly? You know I'm all about the jingle bells and fluffy bows, but I do have a few international friends and filling out a customs form to send a Christmas card seems a little silly.  Haha! I started by stamping the three cups from Jesus & Coffee on white cardstock. I then masked them off to add a little antique linen glow behind the cups.  I colored them with Copic markers, adding some snowflake accents with a white gel pen. The joy sentiment is from the Christmas Topiaries set, and I added the sweet little bow from the set below my cups and colored with Copics. I finished off with a sentiment from We Three Kings and a simple black mat on a white A2 card base. Simple, yet striking.

My second card today is one you may have seen on social media, but I realized it's the end of the month and I never shared it here! So hard to keep up sometimes, ya know? Anyhow, I used the sweet 11th birthday throwback set, Cocoa's Cups, for this one. Some fun kraft papers and an old border punch make up the layout.  Cocoa and his sweet little peppermint hot chocolate are peeking out at you sending some warm wishes and I tucked in a couple holly leaves from the Christmas Botanicals set to finish things off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you're having a great day and find some caffeinated inspiration along the hop!
