Java Girl / #fall2017clh

Today's tag is my last link  - # 1035- for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I just had to use the new Java Girl stamp  from Rubber Moon that easily has to be one of my new favorites !!  For those that comment on all of my links for this Hop, you will be entered into a random drawing to win one of these Java Girl stamps .. I also have links at # 108, 357, and 697. Rubber Moon is a also sponsor of the Fall Blog Hop.. Look for some more fun coffee stamps from them in the future. 

• I started with a tag that had a musical background. 
• The Java Girl image was stamped on a scrap of  light brown ledger paper, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. It was then mounted onto a piece of brown glitter paper with turquoise staples.
• Light Pink Mosaic Thickers from American Crafts were used to spell out the word "Coffee" along the Right side of the tag. I then adhered the Java Girl image to the tag.
• I placed a strip of washi tape and a red glitter heart on a wooden coffee cup and adhered it under the word "Coffee".
• Altenew's Coffee Ring stamp was used to create the rings on the tag., using Memento Rich Cocoa ink. 
• I colored a few small areas on the Java Girl with my Distress Markers. 
• A piece of Autumn-hued ribbon completed the tag.

Thank you so much for visiting Meticulosity during this Hop to see all of my projects. This Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop already has over 1,000 links and many wonderful Sponsors, including Rubber Moon, who have all  provided great prizes..  Take some time to look at the linked projects -- they are all such fun !!

My Alone Time / #fall2017clh

I absolutely love ALL things about rubber stamping, I also have a bit of a snarky, sarcastic side. This probably isn't much of a secret to my close friends. I love bringing out that side in the cards I create and this Dark Coffee set from STAMPlorations is just perfect.  It is from the Big Grins by Becca Cruger line and I'm thinking that maybe she and I are long lost relatives -- we have the same sort of sense of humor.

My Alone Time is For Everyone's Safety

• On a  DCWV  tag, I stamped the Dark Coffee Gal in the lower Right corner and colored her with my Distress Markers and Faber-Castell PITT Artist pens . She was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and her glasses were stamped with Clearsnap ColorBox Fireberry.
• The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of fall-patterned paper and attached to the tag with a copper staple.
• I placed a bit of Fall-themed washi on the tag, then tied a bit of Maya Road twine cording to the top of the tag. .
• A turquoise rhinestone made the perfect earring for this gal and a bit of coppery tinsel glitter added a touch of shimmer to the coffee.
• The tag was popped up on the Paperlove card base with foam dimensionals.

The image of this coffee gal really reminds me of my mom. I colored her hair like my mom's and put the glasses on her like my mom  wore. I don't think I really even thought of this when I ordered the stamp set, but then when I inked it and stamped it, there SHE was !! As you can see in the picture I posted, it's pretty close !!

A { Pink } Fresh Fall Hop

I am always SO excited for another Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and this one is no exception, especially since I have several new coffee-themed stamp sets !! I have always loved using paint samples on my cards and this one from  Sherwin Williams was perfect. The colors from top to bottom are Pumpkin Curry, Copper Playa and Outgoing Orange.. I placed the paint sample on the Right side of a kraft card base. Don't you think that Kraft cardstock is absolutely perfect for Fall projects !?!?!? 2 types of washi were just the right touch for the Left side of the card. I stamped and punched 3 images from a new Pinkfresh Studio stamp set and popped them up on the paint sample with dimensionals. I did also stamp the teacup on a piece of patterned paper also and paper-pieced it to the image stamped on the square.

Supplies used :

Pumpkin Patch Gold Foil washi from Little B

My Mind's Eye Metallic Decorative Tape

Tsukineko Memento Rich Cocoa Dye Ink

"Late Nights" stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio
