STAMPlorations and the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop + Extra Prizes!


Heads up, STAMPlorations friends! There's a fun blog hop starting today for those of us who love or enjoy a cup of coffee! The hop is hosted by Amy Tsuruta and Chaitali Narla.

Amy and Chaitali have invited 30+ sponsors for the hop, including STAMPlorations, who are offering tons of fabulous prizes! Play along by creating a summer-y themed coffee, tea and/or cocoa project. Post it on your blog and then link it up at the linky found on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog. The linky is open until Friday, June 12, at 11:59 p.m. PDT (GMT-7). Winners of sponsor prizes will be randomly drawn!


Here's a card to inspire you:

ALOHA SUMMER WITH A WHOLE LATTE LOVE
One Layer Card
To create this card, I stamped, colored with alcohol markers, and masked the large coffee cup stamp, stamped the aloha summer sentiment in Orange Soda ink (Hero Arts), and sponged it with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink. I stamped the grunge newsprint stamp and grunge dots in Espresso Truffle Memento Luxe ink, as well as stamped the artsy borders and coffee beans in Rich Cocoa Memento Luxe ink. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink.




BLOG CANDY ALERT!


Summer's here and to celebrate, we're giving away extra prizes in case you're not able to link up a project or two by next Friday.

Here on the STAMPlorations blog, you could win a $10 gift certificate to use on the shop, coffee stamps (Coffee Cup Large and Latte Love stamps), or the summer stamps (Aloha Summer + Love Letter in the Sand, and Beach Therapy) that I used in my card.

  71. what a great summery card! and, the sentiment is awesome too! I live in a college town so my favorite part about the summer is when everything slows down a little - traffic is lighter, lines are shorter and it's just a little more relaxed everywhere. Love when the students are here too but just nice to have a breather. :)

  72. Lovin' that card almost as much as I love iced coffee. No frills, just ice and...well... coffee. Summer is when I can where next to nothing and no one cares because, they too, are practically nekid.
