As summer is coming to an end, Celeste and I are back with some new cards to inspire you !! And I have a new ( to me ) coffee shop to tell you about !! For our theme this month, we went back to an old favorite .. And the reason that Celeste and I started these blog posts - our love of COFFEE !!
This month, I used a fabulous stamp set from Unity Stamp Company - Take a Break . It's been a rough year for me and the sentiment I used reflects how I feel most days . Creating cards has been almost like therapy for me and my crafty friends are a Godsend.
- I stamped the sentiment and coffee girl on white cardstock with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink .
- The heart was stamped with a Lady Bug Memento Dew Drop ink pad .
- I colored the image with my COPICS .
- The completed panel was adhered to a turquoise card base.
- Icicle Stickles Glitter Glue was used on some of the coffee steam.
I'm sure that Celeste has created an amazing coffee-themed card . You can take a look over at her blog - Crafting Junky . Are you a coffee drinker ?? Do you create coffee - or tea - cards ?? Leave a comment here on my blog telling me your drink of choice and I will choose someone to get a bit of coffee blog candy.
For my drink this month, I tried a new-to-me local coffee shop - 17 Hands Coffee . They have a wide variety of flavors, but this time I chose a Toasted Marshmallow Latte. It was really delicious .. I paired it with a piece of Sausage / Potato quiche. I will definitely be returning to this new favorite ..

Love this card! (I'm imagining tea, not coffee) ☺️ The sentiment is PERFECT! Sending hugs across the miles...for the strength to endure year(s) of painful but meaningful growth...
ReplyDeleteDeb, your card is amazing and the sentiment is perfect!! The toasted marshmallow latte and quiche sound so yummy. Your new place sounds like a perfect find!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork! Love your coffee theme!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for a better year ahead. I know it's been a rough one. Sending you a hug!
I'm not a coffee drinker unless it's something like a mocha! I love iced tea. Trying to acquire a taste for green iced tea since I'm supposed to avoid black tea these days.... and several other things I like too. Ugh!
