Saturday Coffee Cafe - Be Jolly

Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Café feature on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog – I’m so glad you’re here because it’s that time of year to be jolly.  I’m not talking about the Christmas season, I’m talking about Starbucks Eggnog Lattes!!  Yep, they’ll be here in a couple weeks and I can’t wait :)!  

I created a tag in honor of this special occasion and also for another special event…the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog hop!  For the last several years, Tracey McNeeley of In My Creative Opinion has hosted this fabulous event.  There are tons of inspiration, camaraderie and prizes up for grabs!

 

 

I used one of the My Favorite Things Pierced Tag dies for the base and created a background sponging distress ink oxide ink over Tim Holtz Stencil Nordic Layered Stencil and added pattern paper for the bottom.  The cup was made with My Favorite Things Cool Cup die.  For the the top tab I used Reverse Confetti Hang Ups die and the holly/berries were cut from pattern paper and gold cardstock using Reverse Confetti Holly dies.  The word die is STAMPlorations Be Jolly Phrase die.
