2023 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Today is the start of the 2023 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - still happy to say that I've never missed one of the hops!  I have a card using products from The Greetery today:

This is the Warm & Wonderful stamp and die set.  I love that Betsy thinks of everything - all the little bits & pieces around my mug, including the straw are part of this stamp set, and it comes with a couple of great sentiments... although this one is from a classic Verve set.

My papers are Winter Farmhouse from Simple Stories (love these!)  They have a lovely, warm fall/winter vibe.

If you get a chance - check out the hop, Amy Tsurata does a great job putting together an amazing list of sponsors and some wonderful inspiration.  You can find it here.

Winter Farmhouse Part 2

 Here are my other two cards featuring Simple Stories' Winter Farmhouse papers:

This warm gold gingham paper looks amazing with the faded aqua birch tree paper!  I added a chocolate diecut wreath, and cut my word die from a mat-gold cardstock (has more of a shimmer to it), and added some mat gold Nuvo drops.

I am a sucker for a good snowflake patterned paper!  It stayed as the focus of my card, and I used one of the preprinted sentiment squares popped up with 3D foam adhesive, with a few diecut snowflakes as the only embellishment.  Here's a look at what I got put together - happy to have 10 more Christmas cards in my stash.

Winter Farmhouse

 I adore these Simple Stories papers!!  I got the Winter Farmhouse collection a year or two ago... and have not pulled it out until now (gasp).  I love using patterned paper for Christmas cards, so I created four different designs, and will share two today, and two tomorrow.

The larger prints on today's cards are what drew me to this paper pack - I love that dusty aqua colour, and when it's paired with the wine and forest green - happy sigh.  I used a sentiment set from Reverse Confetti, stamped on some light kraft paper, and added a few die cuts.  I got 6 of these made!

I will post the other two, and a group shot here tomorrow.
