Life happens after coffee

Have you seen all the fun over at the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop?!  The Heart Desires is a proud sponsor and we're having a sale to celebrate:

I'm super excited about my project for today!  It features the SugarPea Designs Breakfast In Bed stamps and coordinating Sugarcuts:

The patterned paper I used is SugarPea Designs Sugar & Spice.  Love those Zig Zag Stitch Rectangle Dies!

The sentiment is from the SugarPea Designs Espresso Yourself stamp set!

That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Coffee Lovers and THD Challenge

Hey Katie here. When you think of the things you love, what comes to mind?  Probably so many things.  One thing that comes to mind for me on a sunny summer day, is some nice ice cold coffee combined with the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  And that is just what I have for you today, a fun combo of just those things. 

Now I want to get you warmed up, so I am reminding you of what the June THD Challenge is all about. 

Now add that with some THD products and some Coffee Fun and here is what you get!

Squee, aren't they soooooo cute?!  I love the little pups trying to get a nice refreshing drink of their favorite beverage.  The only thing better would be for me to shove them over and have the drink myself! ;)

OK, here's the dealio.  I started by stamping out these sweet pups from one of the Hero Arts Lia Griffith sets.  I colored them using my Copics and cut them out using my Scan n' Cut.  Next I picked out this cute Penny Black Love Cup using so fun descriptive DP that is perfect!  I mounted that on the Sugar Pea Stitched Circle Die and in turn mounted that on this DP from American Crafts Sunny Paper Pad.  The sentiment is from ALtenew and the enamel dots are from the Doodlebugs Holly Berries Epoxy Stickers as they were the perfect share of red. 

OK, thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed this post, will join the THD Challenge and the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

This is an Amy Tsuruta original card that I made when I attended a Hero Arts class taught by Amy and Libby at our local stamp store.  Isn't it fun!  I used the HA Killer Messages Stamp Set for the shark and sentiment.  You could use the Sugar Peas cup die  and the Flora and Fauna Texture Set for the background if you wanted to recreate this card.

Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop

I'm excited to share that  The Heart Desires is a super sponsor again for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Please join along for fun, creativity, inspiration and tons of prizes!

To celebrate the hop in the store we are having a sale! Actually there will be two sales this way you can choose your discount.

10% off everything from March 23 to the 28 use code: Springcoffeehop2017

If you are not in a hurry, order from March 29 thur April 8 and use code: Springbreak2017 you will get 17% off everything!  Anything ordered while I'm on vacation will start shipping out on Monday April 10th.


My project today uses those new Spring cups from Starbucks that come in some lovely colors.  I saw where several people were drawing on their cups and my drawing is... well lets just say I never got much farther than stick figures when drawing was involved.   So since I have lots of stamps I thought I would try those out on the cups and it worked!

I stamped the cup with a Simon Says Stamp sentiment stamp and Hero Arts Ombre Ink and I think it turned out great!  So great that I actually did two more cups that I will try to post this week.  I thought this was fun to do and pretty quick too!

I will probably use this cup about four times before I have to toss it.  I find they last longer if you don't put them in the microwave so if you want to reheat your drink I would put it in a glass cup to reheat.

I hope you all have a lot of fun hopping this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

You Are Beautiful Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop

I've got one last card for the Summer Hop!  I can't believe we have hit over 803 (on my last check) what a fabulous community we have!

I don't know about you but in the morning the smell of fresh brewed coffee is almost as good as the first taste.  Beautiful!

For this card I used rose gold washi on white cardstock and then die cut the word with the Concord & 9th Beautiful You die.  I also used the MFT cold cup that is out of stock in the store but is on order and I hope to have it listed again very soon.

The sale is still going on through the weekend so please come shop and receive 15% off your total order by entering the code S16CLBH.
