Spring / Summer Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop!

Coffee

We’re so happy that you have joined us here to play along with the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Be sure to enter for your chance to win a $25 gift card to Poppystamps!  More info below, but first Jennifer has some fun gift inspiration to share with your favorite coffee lover!


Sure, paper coffee cups can hold coffee… but they are also a clever way to give a gift card!  Super simple design, just added a rainbow all the way around with distress oxides, topped with white Delightful Daisies with centers made from yellow glitter paper from the Twinkling Jewel 6 x 6 pad.  Done!  

No coffee cup gift is complete without a festive stopper, and this one shares a sweet message from Greetings Basics on the front, framed with adorable Whittle Wood Frames.  The back of the sign has space for a personal note on the back.  It’s sure to be a keepsake, unless used to deliver coffee (which is entirely a wonderful option, too!)

This technique of a quick oxide blend topped with a white die cut is so fast, so easy, and so much fun!  It’s a wonderful way to use all sorts of dies – there is just no limit to what can be done here.  How about a Whittle Hedgehog in front of a Flora Bloom?

Any border die is great for the bottom.  If it’s not long enough, simply extend it as shown in the video below, or paper piece it together to wrap all the way around.  The Leafy Garden Border is very easy to create long borders with, shown above.  Speckles are also a great way to add in some extra color, as with the Whittle Moose cup, below:

The Wooded Glen Landscape is also a great border die with many options for a fun cup!


“Enjoy Your Day” from the Birthday Blowout set was stamped and embossed in black (above).  Here’s a video for some more details on how these were created, along with a bonus idea!  If the video is not showing, it can be seen by clicking here.

Now, for your chance to WIN, and it’s going to be fun!  We want to know what you order at your favorite coffee shop!  Are you the, “Iced, Ristretto, 3-shot, venti, with breve, 1 pump vanilla, 2 pumps caramel, 4 splenda, poured, not shaken”  type? Or are you more along the lines of myself, “Americano with cream, please!”  Simply leave your comment by midnight EST, May 29th.  Winner will be announced here on the blog on Saturday, May 30th at noon EST.

  2. Such a cute presentation of a card, the rainbow is fab. Thanks for sharing the video. I like my drinks simple, with just sugar and cream.

  4. Fabulous projects! I am a bad coffee lover, I’m afraid – I don’t actually like to drink it! So at a coffee shop I would just order a hot chocolate. Maybe with whipped cream and mini marshmallows if I’m feeling particularly indulgent 😉

  9. So refreshing, summery and last the cute winter scene on coffee toppers, love, love love the idea!
    Thanks for being a super sponsor!

  10. Thanks so much for your generous sponsorship!
    Love all these creative projects!! If I’m alone, I buy
    a caramel latte, but if the hubby is with me, we share
    a peppermint mocha.

  11. Hi Jennifer, Such a novel idea, I absolutely love them, you have transformed an ordinary coffee cup into something truly gorgeous !!
    Stay safe, stay well.

  13. I absolutely love how you colored in the cup that looks beautiful and I am so ready for summer so it’s nice to see such bright and Vivid colors. I also really like the Moose with the Christmas trees but I’m just not ready to think that way yet. Thank you again for being a super sponsor and I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

  27. This is such a cute idea! My favorite coffee order is a Toffee Nut Frappuccino from Starbucks, or a Coffee Toffee from a local coffee shop nearby. Delicious!

  28. Hei Jennifer these ideas are awesome. I love the decorated cups but those fun toppers are just amazing. Love the whittle hedgehog and flower and that moose is my favourite. I am definitely a hot chocolate sort of girl and if white chocolate with cream and sprinkles is on the menu I’m there!! Thanks Poppystamps for being a sponsor of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Hugz

  30. I often order half decaf/half regular with cream in the afternoon. All your cup decorations are fun!

  33. Beautiful ideas for toppings coffee cup gift container. Thanks for being a super sponsor.

  44. Like the cup with the little Hedgehog the most.
    Thank you for being a sponsor on the 2020 Coffee-blog hop

  46. Making little packages out of decorated coffee cups is a wonderful idea and yours are delightful!

  51. Such Cute Cups!
    I get either a green tea latte, no foam (hot)
    or a green tea frappachino, with skim milk and no whipped cream (it really is sweet & creamy enough without the whipped cream).

  52. Wonderful ideas for the coffee cups – would make such a great gift!
    I like my coffee pretty plain with just a little sweetener so the coffee flavor is
    not overwhelmed. Thanks for sharing!

  55. I like to order a Venti decaf Frozen (Blended) Americano with an extra shot, almond milk and cinnamon powder blended throughout. This is because I can’t have sugar or dairy. But it’s still good.

  57. CONGRATULATIONS TO RHONDA C. for her reply! Rhonda, you have won a $25 gift certificate to the Poppystamps store and will be contacted via your email. Thanks to everyone who participated in the Poppystamps post for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
