Coffee Loving Papercrafters

I hope you’re all happily hopping along in the Coffee Lovers Bloghop! The theme for the hop going on right now is summer cards, but

today I’m going to take you on a seasonal stroll and show you how coffee can be perfect for ALL seasons!

The stamps I’m showcasing today are from Super Sponsor STAMPlorations who is currently having a 25% off all coffee/tea stamps sale, plus you can get another 10% off by using the code STAMPGIRLBECCA at checkout.

SPRING:

This little number is actually a double shaker card – meaning it has a shaker inside a shaker. If you want to know how I made it, there’s a full tutorial over on my blog. The happy bright colors provide a springy pop of color.

SUMMER:

When I think about summer, I think about lazy days in my hammock with a book. The bright polka dots and red, white and blue color scheme make this a perfect summer design.

This references something I never see around here: tropical heat. Being from North Dakota, I don’t get to lounge about in the tropics of Florida. Sweet pink, summery green, and a little bit o’ dark humor.

FALL:

Fall is the time for reds and yellows, warm hues, cocoa and all things pumpkin spice. These two cards bring all the warmth and coziness of Fall.

WINTER:

Whether it’s the holiday season or Valentine’s day, winter coffee cards are some of my favorite to design. The big ol’ JOY combined with the tea kettle definitely ties in holiday cheer.

By far and away, V-day cards are my favorite to design. I love all things pink, and frilly and glittery. This card uses a mixed media background technique with gelatos and Ken Oliver color bursts, you can see the full tutorial here. It was also my very first card ever designed for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

So you see: Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall coffee is the best thing to design with after all!
