Coffee Loving Papercrafters

We’re back with the Designer Picks for the 2018 Fall | Winter Hop!  We’ve asked the Design Team to pick their favs!  Here we go!

Designer:  Laurel Seabrook

#148 Henriëtte van Mierlo

So hard to choose! So many fabulous entries! I am going to go with #148 because I love that she created a package for the challenge and because well… pink… it’s my favorite color!

Designer:  Kathy Schweinfurth

#105 Autumn Clark

This was ridiculously hard! I’m choosing #105. The beautiful rustic, cozy feel and rich colors of Autumn’s card grabbed my attention. There are so many wonderful wintery/Christmas details like the white snow splatter and yummy layers yet a lovely simple design.

Designer:  Robyn Jordan

#821 Crystal Minkler 

Who can really choose just one, but we have to, so my choice has to be from Crystal Minkler~ #821 Garfield Owl from Rubbernecker Stamps is so cute! I love how Crystal colored him! It’s a great Winter card. I love the birch trees in the background, and whole color scheme. Layer upon yummy layer, this card is my favorite

Designer:  Dana Warren

#106 Mary Rose’s Cafe

This card is soooo adorable! With the snowman and his hot chocolate (there is even marshmallows!!!!) And the snow globe is genius!!! Done with various dies to look like a snow globe but it looks like it was cut with a snow globe die!! I love it!!

Designer:  Lisa Bzibziak

#418 Mayra Duran-Hernandez

I’ve always been a fan of Mayra’s beautifully colored and sweet designs! This is by far no exception… plus the fun card shapes!! Love these!!

Designer:  Erin Thiem

#188 Allie Kostiuk 

I’m going to echo the rest of the sentiment– how are we supposed to pick one? What I love about these projects is how you could really get into the holiday spirit and run with this idea– and I’m always a fan of CAS and rustic.

Designer:  Kerry Urbatch

#1022 Mona Tóth

I just adore the sweet images, the iced star cookies and the gorgeous colors! These little cards are too, too cute!

Designer:  Lori Turner

#84 Terri Burson (brew crew)

As soon as I saw Terri’s card, I fell in love! I am mad for plaid and this deep red/black buffalo plaid card is just so incredible – and a faux shaker to boot!! Those cup cozies just melt my heart! Great job Terri!

Designer:  Katie Brooks

#824 Michele Ferguson

I often go for cute, but something about this card keeps drawing me back. The design, with the angles, the textures in the cups, the red against the gray, it is all just so striking to me! And she nailed her inspiration! On the money!

Designer:  Helen Gullett

#256 Ksenija

The coloring on the cups is fantastic! And I love the adorable wreath. with gingerbread men as ornaments.

Designer:  Dana Gong

#977 Angeline Choo

It was so hard to pic just one card! My choice is #977 Angeline’s card. I couldn’t take my eyes off this beautifully sparkling background. Rainbow trees and cute critters are so pretty too!

Whew!  No easy task just picking one favorite out of the Hop Gallery that is packed with awesome projects!  I love the variety of the picks, don’t you?

I used random.org to pick one Ellen Hutson LLC $15 Gift Card Winner.  Congrats goes to:
