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-themed project featuring coffee, tea and/or cocoa images. 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 15. Winners of sponsor prizes will be randomly drawn! (Psst! Keep scrolling for a free digi stamp you can use in your projects!)

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.
