Well I am back again with my 8th card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop. I made this card this evening after working and thinking about what I was going to make all day. I do not always like all my cards (I am my own worse critic) but I am happy with this one.
I saw a new challenge today at Tuesday Throwdown to use a creative border. I thought on it awhile and decided to make my own border with the negative space after I die cut the word "coffee" from along the bottom od my yellow cardstock. I then backed it up with navy blue cardstock so the border would really pop.
I used this sketch from Newton's Nook and I am entering this card in their Inky Paws Challenge #49:
I used a sweet little stamp that I won in a previous Coffee Lovers Bloghop from Stamplorations called Coffee For All Seasons. I embellished one of the coffee cups with a sweet little hibiscus puffy sticker to make it that much more summery. I am entering this card in the Stamplorations Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge
But....getting back to the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop -- I am really excited about this bloghop...there are 77 sponsors and TONS of prizes, inspiration and freebies.

Sweet card and so fun that you won the stamp, too!! Love the extra detail of the hibiscus!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sandi! Wow, you are making some great cards for this hop, how fun! I love the stamp you won, a very cool image, and your card is so colorful and cheerful! I added a card to the hop, too -- but I don't ewant to tell you the number because it is the card I just mailed to you for our Coffee Lover's Card exchange in June!
