Coffee Loving Papercrafters

In case you didn’t know, the 2018 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Wrap Up Post is up!  We had a fabulous turn out and as always, we are so grateful for all of our Super Sponsors!  We’re so excited to announce Karren Johnson as one of our December Guest Designers!

Hi, everyone!  I’m thrilled to be here guesting at Coffee Loving Cardmakers in December.  My name is Karren Johnson and I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, where we are heading into summer.  I live with Pete (partner), our two sons, Matthew (20) and William (16), and our Bichon, Dexter (7).

I got into stamping through my mother.  She has been stamping since the 90’s and I always thought it looked a bit lame (I know, right? 😲) . Anyway, when my oldest was a toddler in the late 90’s, I asked Mum if I could make some Christmas cards with her to see what the attraction was.  So I took a day off work and spent the day making cards.  I thought it was okay, but wasn’t bitten by the bug until I was on maternity leave with my youngest in 2002 and I was bored.  I borrowed some of her stamps, inks and magazines and started stamping.  And, well, that was it.  All over, Rover.  I was hooked and I haven’t stopped since😄I blog over at karrenj.blogspot.com and post photos of some of my cards over at Instagram

Anyway, enough about me.  Onto my card for today.

Stamps:  Coffee Break (Stampendous), Oh Frappe (Essentials by Ellen)
