Cuppa Joe…

CLCSip 1.21 Card

Hello there coffee loving crafters!  It’s Kerry here and I’m back with another Sunday Sip and Share.  While many are enjoying the sneak peeks and shares from Creativation, I’m sitting here pulling out oldies but goodies and wishing I was there!  I pulled out this Tim Holtz Sizzix On The Go embossing folder that one of my crafty friends sent me for my birthday quite a while back.  I hadn’t used it yet and decided it was high time to test her out!  I paired it with a bit of Copic coloring to mimic that familiar coffee shop we love so much.  I also selected a fun stamp set from my stash from Simon Says Stamp called Coffee and Tea.  CLCSip 1.21 Corner

Just coloring the straws and the coffee sleeve elements helped bring the background to life. CLCSip 1.21 corner2

And yeah, I had to add a little coffee bean to finish it off!

Notice my new mug?  I’ve got a BIG crush on this handmade mug by Ben Gaboury of Scrimshaw Pottery.  He makes some pretty amazing nautical themed hand painted mugs and I am thrilled to add this Kracken mug to my collection. Check out his work in his Etsy shop (or check him out on Instagram!)

This week’s sketch is a pretty simple CAS layout!  I hope you find some time to play along!  If you do, please add a link to your project in our inlinkz below!  One lucky participant will receive something crafty at the end of the month!

      Thanks Amy! His me narwhals look like unicorns and are very playful! His older (drawn) narwhals are my favorite. There’s something about his drawing that just gets me!

      Thank you Robyn. I think the key for me with this folder is to let it shine on its own…Nothing else needed (except for a sentiment. 🙂
