Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop with a2z Scrapbooking!

Oh boy, oh boy!  It's here!!  The Coffee Blog Hop is my most FAVORITE hop and I look forward to each one!!!  It's so fun to see everyone's creations and of course the chance for prizes is too good to pass up!

Today I'm with the gals over at a2z Scrapbooking sharing our favorite Hero Arts products with the summer theme.

Here's my card...

I used the fun Hero Arts Paper Layering Palm Tree Pair fancy die and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  I used a Mini Ink blending tool to create the sun with Hero Arts Bold Ink in Dandelion and then smudged some Pool ink  on the edges.  For the "sand" I used some kraft paper torn and inked up the edges with the ombre ink Sand to Chocolate Brown.  My coffee cups are from Kelly's Portland and colored with bright colors for a summer feel.  (side note the hubby was not a fan...lol).  Finally for the sentiment (not to take away from the scene) is from an older Hero Arts Everyday Sayings.

For the supplies I've used on my card and more fun Hero Arts supplies head on over to a2z Scrapbooking and use code NICKI15 for 15% off $25 or more purchase.  Proceeds from the store helps the Behcets and Celiac communities. Big mahalo for stopping by!

Brewing Up Wishes for the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

ALOHA!

This is my 3rd time being a part of this 

AWESOME

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

and each time I get more and more excited by

the amazing inspiration and my ridiculous

cravings for COFFEE!!

Make it to the end of this post for a fun GIVEAWAY!

For today's card I used Avery Elle's Tea Time set
and actually got out a Halloween set as well.
Yup...Halloween!
I had an Inky Antics Halloween Frog set that had the
perfect sentiment I needed.

I started with stamping the leaves of Avery Elle's Thanks A Bunch,
then masked it and stamped the cup.
The cup was colored with copics and the birthday sentiment
is from Avery Elle's Party Animal.
(I LOVE that it fit perfectly)
I stamped out the flowers using Hero Arts Pink to Red Ombre Ink
and added some darker areas with
Distress Markers for a bit more shading and texture.
This was then all fussy cut and adhered with foam tape.
My Kraft card base info can be found HERE.
I die cut that yellow panel with Avery Elle's Finished Frames dies.

I hope you'll continue along the hop for your chance
at some amazing prizes from these super generous sponsors!

I've got a GIVEAWAY myself to give to one random commenter!
(US residents only....sorry)

I have this Lawn Fawn Scripty Love die perfect for any project!

Mahalo for stopping by!!!
