Even though things are wackadoodle around here, I had to play at the
Coffee Lovers Bloghop. Amy and the team are beyond wonderful for doing this, and I so look forward to this every season. I had a card made, or nearly so, but when I saw the sketch at
Less Is More, something clicked. After a couple of granddaughters left this morning, and I got DH squared away, I took the time and made a card. I didn't sweep the kitchen, I didn't do the dishes, I didn't start the laundry, and I didn't do anything else for an hour or so except craft. *sigh* Playing in the craft room was long overdue. Someone in the house, who shall not be named and is not me, has needed some extra care the last week or so. But since there was some improvement, I could escape and make a card.
Here's mine:
I used my LF border dies to create the split. The bit of fun coffee paper is from a 6x6 pad that I've been hoarding saving. It's a Pebbles Happy Day. The rectangle is an MFT die, and the stamps are PTI and Sweet Stamp Shop. I colored the 'coffee' with Copics and Ziggies, and added some clear Stickles for a bit of pizazz. If things go well tonight with DH, I hope to get to some commenting. Cross your fingers! And as always...
Okay, this is super cute and such a great way to showcase those "busy" patterned papers. Love it!

What a super fun and vibrant card. I just love that sentiment and all those pops of cheery coloured coffee cups. Great take on the sketch and Thanks for joining in at Less is More this week.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous CAS card. Love that paper. Love the curved edges design.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have been the only one not to join in this LM sketch (and it killed me not to), but I have to say I like your's best of all! Very clever to combine it with the CLBH and use that darling coffee paper in the breach with the two-part sediment as a bridge! Very clever, indeed, my friend!! Miss you! Lots of hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! I love how we see a little peek of those colorful coffee cups through the waves. I'm happy to hear you got a little crafty time in too. :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous fun card Bev
ReplyDeleteCreativity cannot wait, on the contrary, sweeping the kitchen, doing the dishes and the laundry, they can, they will unfortunately still be there when you will have finished in your craft room !! A perfect CAS card and take on our challenge Bev ! And what a fabulous combination of challenges ! It's such a clever idea to use pattern paper for this sketch and your sentiment is so great taking back the colours of the background ! Love it ! thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More !
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun design, Bev! Very creative! Love the coffee cup paper and how you've matched the colours with your COFFEE sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGlad things are a little better. Hope you have more time to craft soon! xx
Oh Bev I love the angles with the coffee patterned papers peeking through, lovely CAS design!
ReplyDeleteFantastic coffee designed card. I love the die cuts you used for the design and pattern paper too.
ReplyDeletethis is so nice card
ReplyDeletelove your design
Oh yes, let's, Bev ... get together for coffee that is! And we could throw in a little crafting ... and maybe some cake or cookies ... oh and someone to do all that sweeping, cleaning and laundry (on both sides of the pond)! Your shimmery coffee is so fun ... and fabulous with the cute background paper ... you just know how much I love all that glorious white! Thinking of you, my dear friend ... and missing you heaps! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cheery feel to your card, perfect for the sentiment. Love the colourful paper and outline lettering.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
Oh Bev this is so darn cute!! I have never acquired a taste for coffee but your adorable card makes me wanna make a cup for someone else! giggles!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Patti
Hi Bev,
ReplyDeleteJust love this coffee card. The DP is filled with rich colors. The design is perfect.
Very cool! Love the coffee paper peeking out!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to peek through the slit and see all the colored coffee cups to go.
ReplyDeleteGreat card.
LOVE how you were inspired!! Such a fun and colorful card - so inviting!!
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on a month of your posts. You surely are weathering a lot of bad days - but I am always inspired by how your faith and your love of family keeps you positive!!
I'm sorry crafting is sporadic with you, Bev, but it doesn't seem to cramp your style. This is a perfect way to use that paper for both challenges.
