Caffeine Fueled Paper Play The Challenge – Grab Life By The Beans

Welcome to a new Caffeine Fueled Paper Play!  It’s a new month and we have a new challenge for you!  Create something coffee, tea or cocoa themed using at least one Coffee Loving Cardmaker Sponsor’s coffee, tea or cocoa themed product!  You can use any other products you want!   There is a list of sponsors in the files section of the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Group on Facebook.  This month I’m featuring Stampendous so if you use a coffee, tea or cocoa themed product from Stampendous you get an extra chance to win this month’s random prize.  Here’s how I was inspired:

So… this isn’t my normal at all!   Not that I don’t absolutely love the House-Mouse line from Stampendous because I do and I own a few stamps.  But I rarely make such a flat card and I NEVER mask… but I did!  And I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would!  I’ve had this one for quite a while and it’s called Coffee Crazy.  I couldn’t find it in the Stampendous shop but you might be able to find it somewhere and if not, there are plenty of adorable House-Mouse coffee and tea related stamps!

I created some wallpaper in the background… which is where the masking came in.  I used a Stampendous clear set called Mason Jar Bouquet which is also not available in the shop any more…lol… however there are also some very beautiful jar/flower sets!

I added a little dimension by coloring and cutting out an additional cup and popping it up.  I don’t know if it makes that much of a difference, but it fulfilled my pop up foam tape addiction.  And I thought this sentiment from Miss Ink Stamps Java Joe set was perfect for this crazy scene!  I think these cuties are doing just that!

I just added a few of my favorite sequins to finish it off!

I’m playing along with a challenge over at House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge which is Anything Goes (with a House-Mouse Image) with an optional theme of Better Together!!  I think these guys are definitely having more fun together! There are a few days left to play along with the current challenge!  And if you play there and use a coffee themed House-Mouse image you can link it up over here too!

So, I can’t wait to see what you create!  A few short rules… your creation must be new and not posted before the start of the challenge.  You must use at least one CLC Sponsor coffee, tea or cocoa product.  You can link up multiple times with new creations.  And please do give us a mention and link back to this post and help us spread the word!  Link up here at the bottom of this post by the last day of the month!

Now for last month’s winner of some happy mail from me:

Becca Yahrling!

Becca, PM me your snail mail please!

Thank you so much for coming and I hope you enjoyed your visit!  I hope you’ll play along with us for your chance(s) to win the random prize which is a small prize pack from me!  Of course it will be caffeinated!

Come again soon for more caffeinated inspiration!

    I have ‘bean’ a fan of the House Mouse line for about 30 years – since I started crafting! lol I used to buy note cards and memo pads from them way back. Doesn’t matter what type of card you make, Lisa – it’s always fabulous and beautiful. Thanks for the win! I’ll email you. 🙂

    I saw this on the house mouse challenge blog. It’s beautiful. I love how you masked the image and created a wallpaper effect. I’ve never done that so might have to give it a try.

    Absolutely fabulous card. I love how these poor meeces are definitely over caffeinated. That’s exactly what I’d look like. You did a super job on the coloring. Thank you for joining us at House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge.
