2014 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello!  I know I normally do a fashion post on Friday, but that will have to wait until tomorrow because I really want to play the 2014 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I don't normally play challenges because I don't have the time, but hey, I LOVE coffee and there are a lot of great prizes to be won by everyone who participates.  To read all about it, go HERE.
My coffee card actually started out as a birthday card for a guy.  But I made a stamping mistake and had to cover up it up, and well, one thing led to another and it ended up being a Christmas card.  Oh well, I was about five short this year anyway.

I started by stamping my image directly on the card.  The stamp is retired Stampin Up!  I added a felt heart button and a little bow for embellishment, then I stamped the steam and the coffee beans.

 I put some DCWV Christmas paper on the boo-boo I wanted to cover up.  I then cut a banner out of coordinating green paper using an MFT die and stamped the sentiment there.  The Ho-Ho-Ho sentiment and the Santa Claus were fussy cut out of another sheet of designer paper from the same DCWV Mat Pad.


Enjoy your coffee today, and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Have a great day!  Amy
