Saturday Coffee Cafe - A Day Without Coffee?

 Happy Saturday and welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so glad you stopped in to see what's brewin' today...

 

A day without coffee?  Nah!  Ok, maybe when I was pregnant a couple decades ago!  This sentiment really makes me giggle...it's so me.

For my card, I cut brown cardstock with Pinkfresh Studio Blanket Stitched Circle die to form an opening then stamped the coffee stains using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Texture Tiles 9 set and a watermark/embossing ink.  These fun coffee cups and sentiment are from a delightful set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Coffee Talk.   To finish, I added these cute little coffee bean embellishments from Trinity Stamps.

In The Meadow

 

Merry Christmas!!  I'm thrilled to be Trinity Stamps guest designer today...what a special gift!  It's been such a pleasure to share my projects created with Trinity Stamps' adorable products this month!!  Thank you, Teniesa and Amanda !

 

For this slimline card, I first layered a pattern from the Black & White Patterns Slimline Paper Pad onto a light blue card base.  I then cut silver glitter cardstock with the Hip To Be Square Slimline Die for the backdrop.  The DARLING Slimline Series Happy Snowman Dies were super fun to put together -- and there are a variety of ways to use these dies to create different snowmen, too!

To finish, I cut deep red cardstock using the Noel Word Die Set and added a few Vanilla Sugar Snowflakes Sprinkle Embellishments.

I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas Day and a healthy, hopeful 2021!

 

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Comfort & Joy

Hey, Coffee Lovin' Fans - Welcome to the Cafe!  I'm so glad you popped in today to check out what's brewing...

Is there such a thing as a Peppermint Frappe?  If not, there should be!  I'd love a festive and frosty holiday beverage like this spiked with lots of peppermint.  That would give me a little comfort and joy about now!

 For my slimline card, I used several Trinity Stamps products and Kat Scrappiness embellishments.  I first layered the card base with a pattern from the Slimline Holiday Trimmings Paper Pad.  I cut dark brown cardstock using the Slimline Hip To Be Square die for the backdrop.  The cup and coordinating pieces are from my new favorite die from Trinity Stamps: Summertime Sips (though it works for chilly weather too!) and the peppermint dies are from the Sweet Holiday Wishes die set.  I used the sentiment from the Comfort & Joy set. The Kat Scrappiness embellishments for the shaker are in the thumbnails below.

 Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas filled with love and Tidings Of Comfort And Joy!!

 
 

Trinity Stamps & A Little Christmas Cheer

  

 

Hey, Trinity Stamps Fans!  I'm super excited and honored to be a guest designer this month and can't wait to share my project with you today!

 

 

I'm a huge coffee lover and fell in love with these mini coffee cups!  Not only are they perfect for filling with treats/cocoa, but they would be so fun for Holiday table décor, to hand on a Christmas tree, added to a coffee/tea/cocoa gift basket and so much more!

 

For each cup, I used these fabulous Trinity Stamps goodies:

 

Holiday Trimmings Slimline Paper Pad

Seasonal (mini) Cup Decor & More Die Set 

Mini Paper Cup Craft Kit

The really fun thing about the Seasonal (mini) Cup Decor & More Die Set is the dies can be used on cards, tags, gifts, wrapping...the possibilities are endless!

 

I added a wooden stir stick to each cup and created a coordinating theme (aren't those mittens the cutest!)  

On some of the cups, I used pattern paper from the Holiday Trimmings Slimline Paper Pad and let me tell you, this paper is a great quality and the colors are so deep and rich!

 

Hope you enjoyed my project today and it's inspired you in some way :)  See you next time!
