C is for Cat and Coffee and Coffee Lover's Summer Hop!

Woohoo - it's coffee hopping time again!! I'm joining in as I'm pretty sure with a blog name like Caffeinated Papercuts it would be illegal for me to not link up at least one project...LOL

We're having some gals leave the So Suzy Stamps Design Team, so Monica decided it would be fabulous to exchange ATCs - a little something to forever remember the very first DT by, ya know? Well crazy-busy moving, cat losing, cat finding, crafting out of boxes me finally got mine in the mail, and what better to remember me by than this:

Yup, I finally mailed them Jasper-cat! LOL

I started by running some Core'dinations paper through my awesome new Tim Holtz coffee embossing folder. Then I stamped out Jasper onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using my Espresso Truffle Memento ink as I was going to be coloring with my Spectrum Noir markers. While those dried a bit, I grabbed the set of coffee stamps that came with the Simon Says Stamp October 2014 card kit and a cute pad of 6x6 MME paper to stamp out my coffee cups and sayings. Then I got a little nervous and cut one of the kitties in half to nestle him behind the cup - it worked perfectly!

And yes, I am insane and fussy-cut all (10) kitties and mugs out myself. Oy. Good thing I love these gals! To color in the coffee I used the chocolate glitter Spica pen and then used foam tape to attach Jasper and his coffee to the ATC base. All done!

Be sure to hop along with the fantastic link up - there's prizes along the way and some fantastic super sponsors!

Supplies used:
Tim Holtz Core'dinations Distress Colorcore paper
Simon Says Clear Stamps What's Brewing?
My Favorite Things I Knead You clear stamps
Tim Holtz Sizzix On the Go Coffee embossing folder
Memento Espresso Truffle ink pad
Spectrum Noir markers
Copic Twinkling Stars Chocolate Marker Glitter Pen Spica
MME 6x6 Paper Pad (cannot remember which one!)

Happy Crafting!

So Suzy Stamps June Blog Hop

Welcome back! This is my second post today featuring the kick-off of the June Challenge over at So Suzy Stamps. If you're looking for my new release post, scroll down! :)

You should be arriving from Justine's pretty blog - I always love seeing what she comes up with! As for me, I pulled out the new Congratulations! sentiment from the new June release and paired it with the lovely Peony and Leaf 1 stamps to make a CAS card perfect for wedding season:

I have to say, I love how elegant it turned out. I stamped the peonies in Hero Arts Bubble Gum and Red Royal, then fussy cut them out. The leaves were stamped in Hero Arts Green Hills and fussy cut as well. I played with where I wanted them on the card, then used foam tape on the peonies and just regular adhesive on the leaves to add depth. The sentiment was stamped with black VersaFine ink for a crisp finish, then all four corners of the card were rounded. For a final touch, I added a few 4mm clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Of course, then I realized it needed more shimmer, so out came my Wink of Stella!

Boom - shimmery flowers. Love.it. Now this card was done!

Remember to enter our fun blog hop giveaway by leaving us some love on each blog along the way. Comments are open until June 3rd at 11:59pm and the winner will be announced on the So Suzy Stamps blog and Facebook page on June 6th.

So Suzy Stamps June Release

Good morning everyone! It's release day over at So Suzy Stamps and let me tell you, we had crazy fun this month. Adorable stamps, our new DT members starting...it's a par-tay!

Now, being the mom of a boy means I went BONKERS when I saw all the amazing new dinosaurs this month. Like I might have gotten them all and I highly suggest you do the same...because DINOSAURS. So with Father's Day coming up and a found 6x6 pad of DCWV dinosaur paper, allow me to introduce the Triceratops:

Is he not adorable?? The background paper is from the DCWV Kidosaurus pack as is the little tag under him. The triceratops himself was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink then colored in with my Spectrum Noir markers. I just love him in blue and green!

I added some Glossy Accents to his horns and popped him up with some foam tape. I'd also like some applause for finding everything amidst the boxes! LOL

Since it's new release day, that means free shipping all day long, even for our international friends! Better hurry before that deal is extinct. (Dinosaurs...extinct...get it? Oh I slay me.)

Be sure to stop back in a few hours - we're having a blog hop to kick off this month's card challenge. Just wait until you see what we've come up with!

Happy Crafting!
