2025 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop | KCS Designs by Kim

-

Hello everyone.  Today, I would like to share with everyone the 4th card I made for the 2025 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.   The hop runs through November 14th, there are 35 Super Sponsors, and lots of prizes to be won if you make a card of your own or even comment on the posts.  

All the information about the hop, the Super Sponsors, the prizes, and how to enter a card can be found on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters socials listed below:



Now on to how I made this card.  Links to everything I used are at the end of this post.  

  • I made a 5.5" square card base by cutting a piece of Kraft cardstock, 5.5" x 11", placed the long side at the top of my scoreboard, scoring it at 5.5", and burnished it well.  Easy Peasy.  
  • I printed, on white cardstock, one of the papers from the Brew & Blend Craft Paper digital kit from KCS Designs by Kim on Etsy.  Then I trimmed it to 5.5" x 5.5", distressed the sides with Vintage Photo distress ink, and adhered it to the card front.   
  • I stamped Mighty Mugs from Whipper Snapper Designs on white cardstock, die-cut it using a stitched square die, and colored the cups using my BIC Intensity Ultra FineTip markers. 
  • I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the card front. 
  • To finish off the card, I cut a piece of white cardstock, 5.25" x 5.25", and adhered it to the inside of the card.  Then I die-cut one of the coffee sentiments from the Coffee Lovers Sentiment Strips from Emma Lou's Shope on Etsy, layered it on a piece of Kraft cardstock, and then on the inside of the card. 

Below are links to what I used to make this card.  The background paper, Brew & Blend Craft Papers, if from KCS Designs by Kim on Etsy, and all of her coffee printables are 40% through November 14th, 2025.  Go take advantage!

QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge | Slimline Happy Easter Card

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...

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...

**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...
