Card #6 for the coffee lovers hop

Here's the other card I made for the hop, using the same Tim Holtz stamp set but a more feminine color scheme and bow. The sentiment is from a different set by STAMPlorations:

Hello. Here is my card #3 for the Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Blog Hop! I have had this stamp for quite awhile and thought its pattern would go well with some Native American-type theme DP on a 6x6 pad by Pink Paislee. Here's my card:

Clear Stamp: Mark's Finest Papers

DP: "Sweet Freedom" by Pink Paislee

Another card for coffee lovers blog hop

Hello! Here is a 2nd card I made for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! But, first, I have to tell you a funny story. I saw this stamp set in my collection and thought, wouldn't that sentiment "You Are Hot" be great with this scrap of DP that has electric fans all over it? Yes! ...Except I just now, as I posted my photo, realize that they are globes, NOT fans, doh! When I stop laughing at myself, it may be time for that eye doctor appointment! Anyway, I hope you enjoy my card!

Clear Stamps: STAMPlorations

Copics, Glossy Accents

DP: scrap from stash

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the hop! I hope you will leave me a comment; thanks! Sherry
