Today she is giving away the Afternoon Tea Die Set to a lucky hopper!

To start at the beginning, please go to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog:


Links are available down below the Rafflecopter Prize entries.

We've got a couple cards for you today for some inspiration using some of the very many caffeinated products in the AJVD shop!

Lisa created this card:


Lisa used the Cozy Coffee Cup die set along with a sentiment from Hug In A Mug!


Next, this card created by Bunny features the Afternoon Tea Die Set!


Photo frames seem to be the rage again, this one, the Instant Photo Frame Die Set , is an oldie but goodie that Jillian created first back in 2012, brought it out of the vault in 2016, and then revised it in 2019 to add her signature Stitch Dot pattern. It is a fan favorite and so versatile! Here I did the black on on the tilt to give the card a little dimension between the scripty layer of cardstock and the cream photo frame!
Products used:  Basic Rectangle Backdrop Dies ~ Black cardstock
Stitch Dot Rectangle Backdrop Dies ~ Scripty cardstock by Canvas Corp from my stash
Quatrefoil A2 Cover Plate Die ~ To create the overlay on the Tea Pot using the Shaker element die included in the set.
 Instant Photo Frame Die Set  ~ Black and cream cardstock.
 Afternoon Tea Die Set Light Blush cardstock

Rainbows and Sunflowers


Hi!  It's been a few weeks.  I've been working on a re-organization of my craft room and I'm finally able to craft even if I'm not completely moved back in.

I love the Sweet Sunflower die!  And it's even pretty in white with a sparkly center and rainbow background.


I added an extra layer to the center with a scalloped circle and a pretty rainbow sentiment from the Sweet Sunflower stamp set and cut it out with the So Many Stitched Sentiment Strips Die Set.

Thanks for stopping!  And don't forget there is a huge sale going on!


Get some great stuff at a really low price!

Come again soon!

Keep Calm-Stitch On


Hello!  I've been doing some stitchery lately so I was inspired to use this beautiful Antique Sewing Machine for today!

I cut the sewing machine three times so I could fill in those beautiful inlays with bright colors.


And I made a decorative border with some button dies and my favorite strips.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon.

Hello Tweety


Hello!  I'm back with a colorful card using the Tweet Bird Cage.  I love to cut this one from a metallic and those birds were cut from a pretty blue velvety paper.


I popped the cage up onto the background so I could tuck the vines underneath.  I cut a bunch of flowers from the Itsy Bitsy Florals and finally the Hello word.

Thanks for stopping!  Come back soon.
