Hey guys, I'm up on the blog with this adorable Coffee themed Christmas card especially for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #44. Click here if you want to join in on the fun!
Today I started out with some really old Christmas paper from my stash that says Merry everything and Happy always...I love that. I'm down to my last few pieces of it. I cut it down to an A2 size card and adhered it to my card base.
I then went back into my stash and pulled some really old Echo Park Winter paper and used my postage die stamp from Scrapbook.com to cut a frame. I do like these dies, the postage look to it with a stitched inseam, yes please!
So then I reached for my super old Gemini coffee stamp and die set...I've had these for a long time. I die cut the coffee cup, the scarf and the spoon after I added some ink from Vicki Boutin's Color Wheel and some spectrum noir alcohol markers. I adhered that down and moved on to the cute penguin with the hat and sign.
So this stamp and die set came from Brass and Bliss...oh I just love them and discovered their cute stuff when doing a hop with the Coffee Loving Papercrafters and still buy from them...go check them out if you aren't familiar with them.
I stamped and colored (tried to shade but my shading skills are lacking for sure) this cute penguin and the sign and then I thought how cute would it be to cut a hat to go on top of the coffee to match the scarf so I did. After I finished coloring it I popped the penguin up on foam tape and adhered it down and added the extra winter hat to the top of the mug. I added a winter flower and some bling and called in done!
I hope you get inspired to get caffeinated and maybe make a card and enter it into the challenge.
Thanks for hanging out with me today,
Have a crafty day!
