Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Welcome to a new Caffeine Fueled Paper Play!  I’ll announce who the winner from last month’s challenge was at the bottom of this post.  But for now,  I’m excited to let you know that we’re changing the format of this feature just a bit!  From now on the first CFPP of the month will be the start of a monthly challenge right here on the CLC blog!  Each challenge will run through the end of that month!  In general, you create something new with a coffee, tea or cocoa theme that uses at least one Sponsor coffee, tea or cocoa related product!  Each linkup earns you a chance to win a small prize… sometimes from a sponsor and sometimes from me!  AND if you use a coffee, tea or cocoa themed product from the Sponsor featured in my post, you get an extra chance to win!  Don’t worry… I know sometimes I mix and match lots of products from lots of different places… so I’ll let you know each month which Sponsor that is!  So… without further ADO!  Here’s how I was inspired for July:

This month, Caffeine Fueled Paper Play is sponsored by Super Sponsor Polka Dot Orchard!  And this adorable little Camper Snail digital set has been calling my name for some time now.   I just love the adorable images… especially the ones where he’s carrying a coffee cup!  Adorable, right??  And how about that exhaust…lol!!

Eep!  I love that you can print these digital images any size you want… you can fill up a whole card.. or print them small…  you can cut them out and pop them up, or create a clean and simple mailable version!  And foil!!!  I didn’t use any for this one, but I love foiling with my digital stamps!  I just pulled my image into Word and sized it and print it on some Copic friendly paper using my Laser printer ( must be a Laser for foiling but I used an inkjet for a couple years, before I bought a Laser, to print digis to color).

The sentiment is from another Polka Dot Orchard set, Wander Often (which is a real beauty!). I fussy cut it so it wouldn’t take up too much real estate on my card.  Then I used some dies from Rubbernecker Stamps (the Deckle Rectangle and the straight edged Small Stitch Rectangle and Deckle Hills) and MFT Stamps (the Snow Capped Mountains).  Just a few pretty clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and done!

So now it’s your turn!  Create something new this month with a coffee, tea or cocoa theme and using at least one CLC Sponsor coffee, tea or cocoa themed product and link it up below for a chance to win!  AND use an image from Polka Dot Orchard and have an extra chance to win!  You can link up a maximum of 5 different projects during the month!  Don’t forget to mention our challenge and include a link back to us!

And what will you win?  Jessica from Polka Dot Orchard has offered up two digital sets from her shop!  You choose… you can get the two I used today or choose the two you love the best!  You have until July 31st at 11:55pm Pacific time to play along.  And if you aren’t sure who the sponsors are, you can check back on any of the past Blog Hop Posts like this one here  where you’ll find a whole bunch of them… all sponsors, past and current qualify!

Now!  For the winner of last month’s challenge:
