Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!



Hello there and welcome to my blog today! I'm Laura and I own and operate Lil' Inker Designs which is a small, home-based business which I've been running since 2009. YES! It's almost been 10 years and I can hardly believe it!!!




I'm here to post for one of my favorite events of the year because I LOVE COFFFFEEEEEEE!!!!! Today, I'm participating in the Spring/Summer 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! There are LOADS of companies participating in today's hop AND fabulous prizes up for grabs as well.

To read all about the Spring/Summer 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, CLICK HERE. If you decide to participate, you can share your projects on social media using the hashtag #springsummer2019clh and of course, there will be a linky tool where you can link up a project you make for today's hop.

Lil' Inker Designs has, over the years, designed several products with a coffee theme and if you'd like to take a peek, please CLICK HERE and hop with me and the LID Design Team today as we showcase some of our favorite coffee themed stamps and dies. 

Also, make sure to read on because we're giving away a great prize today as well!



I had been wanting to make a project for some time now which used both our Coffee Talk 2 Die Set and our Donuts Die Set and I think these products work SO well together!! I started by cutting my mug from the Coffee Talk 2 Die Set in aqua which I stamped with the squiggly lines stamp in the Cozy Plaid Stamp Set to give it a plaid look. Then, I topped my mug with a whipped topping using the Comfy Cocoa Die Set.

Then, I got working on my donut which I created using kraft and soft pink paper and our Donuts Die Set. On top of my donut, I added some heart enamel stickers that I've had in my collections since the time of the dinosaurs. HA!

My background has been embossed but I used a cutting die. Truth be told, I'm still working out the kinks with my new Gemini Jr. die cutting machine and this definitely embossed a little deeper than I hoped but I did run it through twice. Only once next time! I wanted to mention that I used this cutting die called Quilted Stitched All Hearts to emboss because being able to use this die to both cut and emboss really adds to its versatility!

My sentiment is from our Perfect Pairs Stamps and I thought it was just right for the marriage of my coffee and donut treat! 

I had a lot of fun making this and am happy with the sweet result! Good enough to eat and drink!

In honor of today's Coffee Event, Lil' Inker Designs is giving away a $25 gift certificate to our store and all you have to do is leave a comment here to win!


Here is a closer look at all of the items I used to create today's project.
