Guest Designer – March 23

We have the wonderful Ivy Wong back with us today…take it away Ivy!

Hi crafty coffee lovers! Right about now, I’m on a plane, on my way to spring break vacation. Any guesses as to where?

Having to pack for 2 boys & myself, and short on time, today is all about quick & easy cards! If you know me, you know I LOVE TEACHERS! I always give my boys’ teachers card sets at the beginning of the school year, during the holidays and before teacher appreciation week. These coffee-themed embossed cards were quick to make. I used Tim Holtz embossed folder and added a sentiment from a coffee set from Stampabilities.

For my next set of cards, I used a page out of Doodlebug’s “Cream & Sugar” 6×6 pad and paired it up with Lawn Fawn’s “Really Rainbow” 6×6 papers. I love using the paper with panels that you can cut out and put onto a card. Doodlebug’s images are so cute that I couldn’t resist making a few cards.

Today’s giveaway are some fun socks! I picked these up at Old Navy for the coffee pair! I’ll also include a stamp shammy (by Lawn Fawn). Answer this question in the comments: What is your favorite coffee beverage or tea flavor? I love mochas (hot & iced). When I need a cup of tea, earl grey is my go-to! Winner will be chosen from the comments on this post on or after April 22nd. I’m sorry I’m not able to send prizes outside of the US.

    Simple is best many times ~ these cards are wonderful! Enjoy your VA-CA! My favorite coffee is McDonald’s – a hot cup in the morning and an iced at noon, both black and sugar free 🙂 Can’t afford the calories in anything else 😦

    These cards are so darn cute! I am definitely a dark roast black kind of gal when it comes to hot coffee…but I do enjoy a mocha or peppermint mocha once in a while!

    Every time I see that coffee embossing folder I think to myself, “I really need to get that!”. It looks extra rich in deep dark brown and makes me crave my favorite french roast coffee.
