STAMPlorations and the Winter/Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop + Extra Prizes!

For the ARTplorations stencil blog hop and linky party, click here.

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

Amy and Chaitali have invited lots of sponsors for the hop, including STAMPlorations, who are offering tons of fabulous prizes! Play along by creating a winter/holiday-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, December 18. Winners of sponsor prizes will be randomly drawn!

Link up your winter/holiday-themed coffee, tea, and/or cocoa card(s) here

Here's a card to inspire you:

MOCHA CHRISTMAS
One Layer Card

To create this card, I stamped the coffee cup and masked it before using the snowflake stencil for the background. I added faux texture with the grunge stamps and stamped the sentiment. Finished the card by coloring the coffee cup with watercolor brush pens.

Products I used to create the card:

      

Caffeinated Christmas | Latte Love

  
Mixed Media Elements | Snowflakes All Over

And here's a free digi stamp you can use to create your coffee projects. It's the digi stamp we currently offer on our Never-Ending Anything Goes Challenge page. If you use the image, be sure to link up your project there too because we draw two winners of gift certificates or stamp sets whenever we reach entries in multiples of 50 (we're at 629 entries and counting).

(Right-click and save the image to your computer.)

BLOG CANDY ALERT!

Winter's here and we're in the thick of the holiday season. 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 or the Caffeinated Christmas stamp set.

To win, just answer this burning question: HOW MUCH COFFEE (or TEA or CHOCOLATE) HAVE YOU HAD TODAY? :o)
