Just Coffee & Some Blog Candy

This will be my third card for the  Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop and I've saved the best for last !! If you comment on this post, you could be the lucky winner of a fun Java Sok for your Iced Coffee.. I love mine and use it all the time and even got a new design recently .. I'm giving away 1 Lively Lavender Floral sleeve that will fit a Medium Dunkin, Venti Starbucks or Large McCafe. 

My card uses a freebie from the fabulous Artsyville -  Coffee Love coloring page. They are so much fun to print and color !! And the image is so large that you can make several cards  from the image by cutting it !!

• I printed the Coffee Love Coloring page on Neenah Stardust White cardstock.
• I cut a section of the coloring page - a square piece  of 3 rows across and down - leaving the decorative border on the bottom and left side of the square.
• The image was colored with a variety of my favorite markers - Brea Reese, Sharpies, Flair pens and Faber- Castell.
• I mounted the finished piece onto a white card base.
• The right edge of the front of the card was cut to leave a small strip of the inside  of the card showing .
• I placed a piece of metallic blue washi down down the right side of the inside of the card - it can be seen on the edge when the card is closed.
• I also cut another square - with the decorative edge at the top - and placed it in the inside of the card towards the bottom right side near the washi strip .

This was such a fun and easy card to make !! I hope that you like it .. Please leave a comment on this blog post for a chance to win the Java Sox sleeve .If you're an iced coffee lover like I am, you will love this sleeve !! I will choose a winner randomly on Monday evening June 1. 

Than you for stopping by for another of my coffee cards .. I always have fun with the Coffee Lovers Hop and find lots of inspiration there !!

GIU Day 4 - Things Work Out

Cannot believe it is Day 4 for me as the GIU gal. Today's card was made with a stamp designed by Stephanie Ackerman. She has the greatest sayings paired with fabulous designs that are a dream to color. Today's project uses the stamped image Ultimately ...Things Work Out. Sounds like something my mom would have said... Attitude can make or break you.. I wanted this to be a bright, cheery card so my amazing washi from Artsyville was the perfect way to border the entire design. And who could resist those fun ribbons at the top of the card. I took the picture of this card with the supplies surrounding it on my desk to depict "messy".. Because life IS messy. And all we can do to get through it sometimes - in order to keep our sanity - is to make the best of the messy parts. This card will hang in my Creative Space to help me deal with some recent issues.. It will also remind me to reach out to friends to help them make the best of theirs...

Supplies that I used for this card are :

1. Artsyville washi tape ( currently not available but she'll be back !! )

2. Stabilo pens ( regular & neon )

3. Tim Holtz Distress markers ( can you tell these are one of my favorite supplies?? )

4. Faber Castell Neon Brush pens
5. Stampin' Up Flirty ribbon
6. American Crafts Dear Lizzy "Lively" ribbon
