Caffeinated Christmas Card 2025-Apr-03

 Hello, 

I am so delighted to be guest designing for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge this month.  The theme is: Use coffee and/or cocoa.

And here's what I created.

A big cup of hot chocolate topped with cream and peppermint candy canes sure will warm you up! 

My cup (Hero Arts Tea Cups Infinity Dies) is decorated with rub-ons (49&Market ARToptions Holiday Wishes) and edges distressed (with Ranger Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry).  

The background (Pinkfresh Studio Snowflakes Coverplate Die) and candy canes (Hero Arts Candy Cane Fancy Die) were simply die cut and assembled.  

The most fun part of this project is that cream, I hand-drew an outline of the cream shape on a piece of white cs, then applied Ranger Distress Grit Paste (Snowfall) carefully and shaping it at the same time.  Next I sprinkled Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Powder at selected area.  Once this all dried, I adhere all the elements to the card.

I really like how this turned out, and I hope I've inspired you to play along.  Hop over to Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog for the link up.

Thanks for visiting me today, have a good one!

Creations Scrapbook Centrale Creative Team Project 2024-Aug-14

 Hi,

I am sharing a holiday card today.  It features Lawn Fawn Winter Fox stamp, so this project fits the Creations Scrapbook Centrale fb group challenge for August: Animals.

The card is a mini slim line, 3 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches.  Not too complicated, a little bit of stamping, a bit coloring, a bit of die cutting, and a bit of splatter of distress spritz.

I am linking this card to:

Christmas Cards 2022-Jan-02

Hello,

I am starting this year's holiday card early!  Believe or not?!  I found a new challenge, Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge, and I am excited to play. 

I used Elizabeth Craft Design Snowflakes die to dry embossed the background.  Add one of my favorites, Hero Art Coffee Cup Tag Frame Cut as focal point.

My dry embossed panel is embellished with silver glitter tape, the coffee cup cover is also die cut from silver glitter taped card stock.  The coffee cup is die cut from an old coffee take out cup I saved, I just love that pattern.
