Java Minute

I always love a good play on words and Lisa does it wonderfully!  I used a new digital stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps called Java Minute by Lisa Lara.  The set was just released on the 15th of December and I hadn't posted this project yet so I thought I would show you what I made.  I enlarged the coffee cup to 5 1/2 inches X 4 1/2 inches.  One of the fun things you can do with digital.  Then I printed it out on a couple different kinds of designer paper.  This paper is from Doodlebug.  I always love the colors they use. I popped up the coffee beans.

 

 Below is the backside of my coffee cup.  I made a little pouch to slide a coffee gift card into. The sentiment and line of coffee beans are also part of the set.

It's a blog hop over at Doodle Pantry

We had our first snow this season here yesterday.  Just a dusting but it was so pretty falling down.  Now it seems like Christmas.  Starting today we are hoping over at Doodle Pantry.  We are celebrating with the "Oldie but Goodies".  We have brought back some of older sets from Doodle Pantry to have this hop.  The set I choose to use is called "Vintage Slots".  I couldn't resist using the standard Christmas colors.  The 'this Christmas' was added to the sentiment from the set.  I think it is perfect.

If you have come from Nana Connie's blog than you are on the right track.  If you just stopped by here to say hi then you will want to start over at the beginning of the hop at the Doodle Pantry blog.  I am the last stop on the hop so I hope you enjoyed your time with us, seeing some of the older sets brought back to life again.  Remember, to leave a comment on every blog so you have a chance to win a gift certificate.  Hope you have a creative weekend.

Christmas time in the country
