Free Coffee Loving Hedgehog Digital Stamp for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Coffee Loving Hedgehog Card by Jess Gerstner using Jess Crafts Digital Stamps


Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a card for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. For this round of the blog hop I am sharing a free digital stamp of a hedgehog holding a coffee mug. If you are interested in the digital stamp please scroll down to the picture and right click and choose the option to "save as" and save it to your computer. 


Today's card features the image so you can get an idea of what it looks like in action. If you use the image I would love to see it of course. The coffee stencil in today's card us from Create a Smile and the sentiment is from Mint Owl Studio's Coffee Craze. I will be back throughout the hop with some video tutorials featuring coffee themed products from some of my favorite companies and a video sharing how to color the hedgehog to get the realistic looking variation in the spikes.
