Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Good morning, Coffee Crafters! I’m here with my Thursday Cuppa Joe post for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog! And today I am featuring a new product by A Jillian Vance Design, the gorgeous new Grandpa’s Glass: Cup of Love Die and Perk Up Stamp Set Combo! You can get them separately, too, if you prefer.

I saw this set when it was just in-the-works, and I could not wait for it to come out! I ordered it ahead of time, and I am so glad I did; it is gorgeous!

I die cut a black piece of paper, and then again with a sheet of X-Press It Blending Card Paper. I enjoyed coloring all the little pieces with my Copics while watching Friday Night TV; it really didn’t take that long.

I stamped the sentiment using my new Mini Misti, and oh my gosh, it was SO wonderful to end up with a perfectly straight and centered sentiment! I got it all glued down, and it needed a little something else, so I painted Zig Clear Wink of Stella on the light grey steam sections. That was all it needed!

I have a bit of sad news to share; this will be my last Thursday Cuppa Joe post with this wonderful and amazing team; since I started an almost full-time job, I find myself struggling more & more to get my projects done (OR, I’m pushing off my home & family responsibilities for cards!). Amy deserves so much more than a stressed out working mom – lol! I sure have enjoyed this wonderfully fun team! I am REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY going to miss it!!!!

But I want to thank all of you for your wonderul comments and support on this great team, and hopefully I’ll be guesting occassionally!

Have a wonderful day, and Happy Coffee Crafting!
