Hey guys, I'm up on the blog doing Challenge #42 for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge. If you want to join in here is the link!
I started out with 110lb white paper (oh how I will miss those awesome SALES at Joann's), stamped this cute Sloth stamp, from Brass and Bliss, (ALL YOU NEED IS COFFEE) I would link it but it was so cute it sold out...and used my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to color it and then die cut it out.
I then took the same 110# white paper and inked it in some Vicki Boutin (color wheel, red) and some Tim Holtz Distressed Oxide (in Pine Needles). I then stamped this awesome coffee to go cup stamp from AlteNew called Friends Forever, one of my fav coffee stamps! I made sure to stamp it so that the colors were where I wanted them. I used my Spectrum Noir to color in the lid.
I grabbed my new
Whimsy BURST stamp (I LOVE THIS STAMP) to stamp on another 110# white paper (no wonder I go through so much white paper)! I used the same 2 colors, the red from the color wheel, and the Pine Needles from Tim Holtz, to stamp on the different sides of that burst stamp to give it some added dimension and color and I do love how it turned out.
I reached into my stash and pulled out the sticker that says HAPPY HOLIDAYS and the 2 Christmas foliage stickers to put on either side of the cup. I also found that cute Christmas hat to add to the Sloth. I adhered the "Burst" panel on some Christmas red metallic card stock, added the coffee cup and then popped up that Sloth on some foam adhesive and called it done. Super easy card and I was able to use up some older stash!
I am not mad at it! Thanks so much for stopping by and hanging out and don't forget to hop over to the Challenge and join in!
Have a crafty day!
