Warm Winter Wishes

It's Day 3 of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

The hop runs through Friday, December 7th. Link up your fall/winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects for a chance to win (pssst...there are TONS of prizes to be won)! This hop is SO much fun and filled with incredible inspiration too -- see you on the hop!

I'm a true coffee drinker, but I do love a rich cup of hot chocolate -- especially if it's in a super cute mug!

For my card, I layered red cardstock and a large plaid pattern paper. These adorable images are from Right At Home's Cup of Joy that I stamped on pattern paper and added Lawn Fawn Glitter to the 'whipped cream' topping. The large tag in the background is one of the STAMPlorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies that is embossed with Sunny Studio Stamps Knit Cable Embossing Folder. The sentiment from Right At Home's Christmas Sentiments was stamped on the smaller STAMPlorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies.

I'm playing in these fun challenges, too!

Reverse Confetti December Stock Your Stash Challenge - Thank You

Saturday, December 1, 2018

It's December already! There's so many wonderful projects to create this season. The one type of card I find I need besides Christmas cards are holiday Thank You cards -- and this month's Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge has inspired me to get some done!

Check out all the details on the Reverse Confetti blog and click on The Play To Win button. There will be a winner each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of the monthly challenge will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog at the end of the month.

For my card, I began by cutting Stormy cardstock with the Triangles Cover Plate adhering to the card base. I then layered a pattern from the Cue The Confetti 6x6 Paper Pad. Using one of the Stitched Squares dies, I cut Lime Green cardstock for the frame and Premier Polar White cardstock for the center.

I copic colored images from the Drink More Coffee stamp set and coordinating dies in festive colors and added sprigs from the Christmas Candles stamp set/coordinating dies. The 'thanks' word was cut from Dark Roast cardstock; the die is one of the words in the Fancy Words Confetti Cuts set. I then white embossed the sentiment from the Kindness Cards stamp set onto Stormy cardstock.

Coffee and Treats Gift

We're on to day 2 of the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop!

Link up your fall/winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects for a chance to win (pssst...there are TONS of prizes to be won)! This hop is SO much fun and filled with incredible inspiration too!!

If you haven't checked out the hop yet, stop by because you're in for a real treat! Speaking of treats, I'm sharing a project today created with several yummy Pink & Main goodness!

For my project, I first created the little gift bag cutting a bright green cardstock with the Gift Bag Die. I layered red cardstock and one of the pattners from the Jolly 6x6 Paper Pad onto the gift bag. Using one of the Stitched Circle Dies, I cut dark brown cardstock as a backdrop for these super yummy images from Christmas Mugs and Sweet Christmas. I then added a red bow using the Medium Bow Die. The sentiment was created with words in the Snow Sweet stamp set.
