Welcome to {Day 2} of the Lil’ Inker Designs March Release Blog Hop! If you’ve arrived from Laura‘s blog, you are on the right track. I hope you hopped along with the design team yesterday when the new sets were revealed with loads of amazing inspiration. If you missed it, you can go back and hop. The more you hop this week, the better your chances of winning a $10 gift certificate to the Lil’ Inker Store or Funny Bunnies which will be showcased on Wednesday and Thursday!
I love coffee (and tea) as well as cityscapes and I thought it would so cool to create a building out of the coffee cup to symbolize how many of us need that cup of coffee in the morning as we head off to work (whether it’s at home or elsewhere). Indeed, life begins after coffee! A couple of clouds die cut from the same patterned paper collection completes the scene.
Clicking on the following graphics will take you to the Lil’ Inker Store where you can purchase these stamps and dies today! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by today! I will see you again tomorrow with a project using Funny Bunnies. Now head on over to Teresa Kline‘s blog for more inspiration!

What a fun incorporation of the cup into the cityscape- brilliant!
Wow this is ingenious !
Fabulous! Love the skyline! Great work.
Great card! Nice tekst. Love it!
now that's exactly right…just finished my first cup and about to head back for the second 😉 I love how you incorporated this Wander paper (oh, I loved that paper to bits!) The stripes make a perfect 'road', and I love the trams up in the cloud!
You always rock that paper collection! Such an awesome design!
Such great card! Fun with the cityscape on the cup =) TFS!
Since I'm currently clutching my coffee mug with a death grip, I think that sentiment fits me pretty well. 😉
Love the patterned paper mix here — and the huge coffee cup is so fun.
Love the fun and out of the box coffee cup! The sentiment is perfect 🙂
Em, this is truly genius! I'm a little speechless. I jut love how you've made a buzzing little cityscape AND incorporated cofee. It totally works and it's the coolest concept!! Seriously great!!
