Coffee Card Collab with Deb | Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Coffee Hop

-


Hey y'all.  Today, my friend Deb and I are doing a CCC, a "Coffee Card Collab", to help spread the word about the 2025 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  There are lots of Sponsors and prizes to be won!  Deb and I are NOT affiliated or taking part in the hop - just spreading the news.  


For my card, I dug out a very old stamp set called Espress Yourself from Stampin Up. It's wood-mounted and from 2002.  Today is the first time I trimmed the images, adhered them to the wood blocks, and used them to make this slimline coffee card. WOW.  Perhaps you have stamps that you can use tif you want to make this card or one like it.    

This is how I made this slimline card.  

  • I die-cut a piece of Kraft cardstock using a 2.5" x 7.5" slimline die.
  • I used Coffee Archival Ink to blend a coffee stencil from my stash.  I also distressed the edges.   
  • I die-cut it using the Slimline Stitched Square Trio from MFT/Dienamics.  
  • I adhered this to a piece of fun foam - even the square inside pieces - and then to the card front. 


  • I stamped one of the sentiments and the large coffee cup twice, on white cardstock.  Then I die-cut them using the same Slimline Stitched Square Trio die so that each one would fit in the space.  
  • I colored the images, added a piece of fun foam to the back of each one, and adhered them to the card front.  

Make sure to go check out the card that Deb made.  You can find it either on her Facebook page or on her Instagram page.  Remember to like her card and leave her a comment!  Tell her the gringo sent you.  LOL

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  I hope you find a moment to check out all the cool cards in the 2025 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

Do You "STENDOODLE"?

A Bunch of Stendoodled Pieces I Made Have you ever gotten an idea and thought that it was going to be the next amazing thing in the paper crafting world?  The one no one else has ever thought of?  Well this happened on my recent trip back home to NYC.  I was not able to bring a lot of art materials home with me but I was able to squeeze into my luggage my tombow markers, some permanent markers, a bunch of stencils, and a Zentangle book.  I have always loved the look of Zentangling and I was determined to finish a full project by the end of this trip.   One night I traced the outline of the Blazonry stencil on some watercolor paper and then sat - for hours - trying to make many of the Zentangle designs in the book.  It did not look great.  It didn't even really look good.  I realized that this Zentangling was not as easy as it looked and that it probably takes a lot more practice than I was willing to give it on this trip.    ...
