Coffee Coffee Coffee, Hop Hop Hop

Hello.  Welcome.  Have you noticed the sudden surge of coffee themed projects?  It's the fall coffee lovers blog hop.  This time I'm ready.....



I used Stamplorations Crazy Stitched Rectangle dies to cut the background panel.  I started by cutting three panels, but it was getting bulky with all those layers, so I just cut all three dies from one panel so it's a single inlaid layer.  Little bit of fun jigging it all back together again LOL.  Then, since it's a fall theme I smeared Ripe Persimmon all over.  I cut the smallest rectangle from a piece of chocolate box.  No chocolates were harmed during die cutting ROFL.  Love how this was nice and thick and I got some embossed detail as well.  Then I cut Stamplorations Coffee Cup Silhouette from the center of the black panel.  I backed the cup with a piece of inky scrap paper.  And not a stamp to be seen.........

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
