Hello Coffee LOVIN' Friends!!  

Today the Paper Sweeties teamies are hopping with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers teamies to share a whole lot of Coffee Inspiration in honor of our Paper Sweeties 7th Anniversary!!

I've created a SWEET Fall Themed Card for my project share today … and it contains a SNEAK PEEK of a *NEW* set that will be released on August 15th of this month at Paper Sweeties called "Cupcakes and Sprinkles"!! Fall is my FAVORITE Season and I'm LONGING for ALL of the Flavors and the Cooler Weather that comes along with it!! 

I've also used several of my FAVORITE Paper Sweeties Sets to create this FUN Scene!! I've used the Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Sweet Cuts for my Coffee Cup and Die Cut it from some Text Patterned Paper!! I Stamped and Embossed the Large Flower from the Planner Series All Occasion Stamp Set and Die Cut it out using the coordinating Planner Series All Occasion Die Set!! I also Stamped and Embossed and Die Cut the Pumpkin from the Same Set!! I used Copic Markers to color the Images and to add some Dimension!! The Leaves were Stamped and Embossed using the Bee Happy Stamp and coordinating Bee Happy Die Set!! To finish the Scene off I Stamped and Embossed the Sign from the Basket Add On: Thinking of You Stamp Set and Die Cut it out using the Coordinating Basket Add On: Thinking of You Die Set and then Stamping and Embossing the Sentiment from the *NEW* "Cupcakes and Sprinkles" coming August 15th with some WoW Copper Glitter Embossing Powder!! I also stamped the Coffee Steam Image using the Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Stamp Set!!

I started by creating a BEAUTIFUL Fall Background!! I didn't have the Patterned Paper I wanted, so I created my own using the Falling Leaves Stencil from Newton's Nook Designs and some Distress Inks!! (Candie Apple, Barn Door, Carved Pumpkin, Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss) I Embossed over the Leaves with some WoW Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder and then I was able to apple Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over my entire background!! Then I Die Cut 3 Circles, one from Dark Brown Woodgrain Patterned Paper, One from Kraft Cardstock and one from White Cardstock!! I inked the background of the White Cardstock Circle with Tumbled lass Distress Ink to make it match my Background!! Then adhered them all together!! 

I used the CAS-ual Fridays Coffee Cup Fri-Dies to Die Cut my Coffee Mug from some Patterned Paper!! I inked the edges with some Hickoy Smoke Distress Ink to make it POP off the background and used Copic Markers to Color the Coffee inside of the Cup!! Then added some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops over the top to make it look more like Coffee!! I wanted to add a Sunflower so I Stamped and Embossed the Flower form the Pretty Posies Stamp Set and then used the coordinating Posies Fri-Dies to Die Cut it out!! I Colored it with Copic Markers and then added some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the center of the Flower for a more realistic look!! The Leaves were Stamped and Embossed using the Peaceful Garden Stamp Set and colored with Copic Markers before I Die Cut them out using the Garden Fri-Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto a Dark Brown Woodgrain Patterned Paper Banner using the "Happy Thoughts" Sentiment also from the Peaceful Garden Stamp Set in WoW White Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! FALL is my FAVORITE Season, so this just makes me HAPPY!! 😄
