July is Jumpin' with Java-liciousness

Welcome to the July Fresh Brewed Designs Three Day HOT Blog Hop! If you are getting here from Yolanda's blog then you are right on track. If you are just finding your way to our super HOT, fun filled, extra caffeinated, and mega sassy blog hop, then please start at the beginning here: Freshly Brewed Challenges.

The Fresh Brewed Designs Team and Guests have put together an exciting and oh so HOT blog hop TODAY and ALL THIS WEEKEND featuring handmade cards inspired by our new released Rubber Stamps. Now you may be thinking, I have seen these before. Why, yes! Yes you have!!! But not like this!!! They have all been carefully re-sized. They are approximately 1/2 inch smaller than the original stamp, but just as sassy and hot as ever! For you, this means that more of your card will be visible so you can add your layers, embellies, use your nesties and all of that other fun stuff just a bit easier than before. The larger size is still available and still wonderful ... but now you have the option to choose which size works best for your stamping style!

All re-sized stamps are available cling mounted on 1/8 inch cling foam to use with your acrylic blocks or un-moutned. All of Fresh Brewed Designs stamps are made in the USA with deeply etched red rubber so you get a perfect impression every time! To snag your own, click HERE.

For my card I chose to create with "I'll Take Mine To Go". This rubber stamp is now offered in TWO different sizes (yay!). Since I wanted to focus on her face (and of course, her latte!), I opted for the larger size. It's been awhile since I've done something other than a card, and since I'm all about packaging lately (hello *raising hand* collecting glassine bags, paper bags, twine and washi like a maniac here), I decided to pretty up a small coffee bag.

I can't wait to put this to use! I'm thinking it would be great filled with chocolate covered coffee beans or biscotti. Yum!

Supplies:
FBD "I'll Take Mine To Go" larger size
American Crafts Thickers "Serenade"
Studio Calico "Classic Calico, Vol. 1" 12x12 papers

Now on to the PRIZES!!!
