Welcome to the STAMPlorations stop on the Coffee Lovers Spring | Summer 2023 Blog Hop! I love this event and am so happy to be participating in it again. There are fab sponsors and I hope you will check us all out - hop list links are at the end of this post :-)

Here's my project:

Bloom in a Red Cup

acrylics on 8x10 canvas panel

Digital stamps are great not just for cards, but for other projects as well -- like the one I made for this hop: a painting :-)

I used one of the images in the Cupful of Blooms set. But instead of using the flowers in the images, I simply used the cup and painted in hydrangeas. See the photo collage below that shows how I painted this from start to finish. Want to paint one for yourself? Painting classes and kits with step-by-step instructions and videos will be available in the store sometime in June. (I am still working on getting back into the swing of things and fatigue is something I continue to deal with daily after finishing active treatments last February, so I am not as fast as I used to be.)

I hope my project has given you ideas on how to use digital stamps.  They're truly versatile and the only limit is your imagination.

Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win a $20 prize code.

If you are in the US, you are automatically entered to a second drawing, as I am giving away the Bloom in a Red Cup painting featured in this post to one randomly drawn commenter :-)

If you're inspired to create a non-card coffee-themed project, there's plenty of digital stamps in the store that you can use. Just for this hop, they are 50% off. Use code SPRINGDIGI on checkout. The code works on digital stamps only and good for one-time use per customer. Our digital stamps are available for instant download wherever you are in the world.

Oh, and individual stamps, dies, and paper goods are once again available to buy, and I have adjusted shipping options so individual products can be shipped worldwide. You will see shipping options and rates during checkout.

Thank you so much for hopping! Have a wonderful, blessed day!

STAMPlorations and Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop + Comment to Win

Hey, STAMPfriends! SURPRISE! Yes, this blog and STAMPlorations are still around. I know it seems like it's been forever since I've posted -- and it sort of took me a long time to prepare this post. (Anyone interested in my journey can read about it here {clicking the link will open a new browser window} -- as you'll get a better picture and I'll save you all time from having to read about it in this post.)

Anyway...welcome to the STAMPlorations stop on the Coffee Lovers Fall | Winter Blog Hop! I just love this event run by the awesome Amy T. and I'm so happy to be back as one of the super sponsors again. And as ever, we have a few extra prizes you can win over here at STAMPlorations.

Play along by creating any fall or winter coffee-themed 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, November 18. Winners of sponsor prizes will be randomly drawn! (Psst! Keep scrolling for a free digi stamp you can use in your projects + two extra prizes you can win by leaving a comment on this post!)

Link up your coffee, tea, and/or cocoa card(s) here

Well, right around the beginning of May I packed away my craft supplies and basically stopped working to focus on my treatments. They are still pretty much packed away, but around mid-August I was able to put together a new product before I had surgery + create quick fall and winter themed cards several weeks later when I felt well enough.

Oh and by quick, I mean real simple, no stamping and no manual die-cutting at all. I'm now pretty dependent on my electronic cutter, because I have limited use of my right arm, and fatigue and nausea have been my regular buddies the last 5 1/2 months. I left the cards blank in the way of sentiments; I figure it's better that way so I can tailor each one for whenever I am sending a card to someone.

For this hop, I'm sharing the coffee-themed ones using the new Fall and Winter Paper Goods Pack. By the way, there are 52 pieces in the pack: 16 A2 card fronts, 14 3x4 journaling cards, and 22 die-cut elements. You can literally make 30-45 cards with this pack, especially when you combine them with what you already have in your stash.

I'm also sharing a couple of cards that Nancy made using the pack but come back next week because I have a post that features a bunch of beautiful cards she made using our new product -- her cards are a feast for the eyes, I promise :o)

And here are two beautiful cards from Nancy:

***BLOG CANDY ALERT!***

Aside from the prizes I'm offering on the Coffee Lovers Hop event itself, I'm throwing in extra prizes. ONE (1) US/Canada-based coffee- (or tea- or chocolate-) loving crafter who leaves a comment on this post will win a pack of Fall for Coffee ATC or Holiday Latte Colorables -- winner's choice. I will also pick ONE (1) international-based commenter to win $10 worth of digital stamps. Comment on this post by November 18. Easy peasy! Winners will be announced on November 21.

  

In addition to all the prizes, I have a free gift as a thank you for supporting our company and the blog hop all these years - it's the free digi over at the STAMPlorations digital store. It's a versatile coffee digi stamp -- one you can use no matter the season!
