Have a Cup of Cheer - Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #20

This is my card for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #20 "Critters" using the BYSHC Sketch #36 which was perfect for my Cute Critter image and paper selection.  



Kitty image with hot cocoa was stamped with Memento Black ink, colored using Copic Sketch Brush pens and fussy cut.  A scalloped stitched rectangle was cut and bordered with green cardstock.  Design papers and zip strips were used for all other cuts in the the sketch and bordered with green cardstock and adhered direct to card base with the one strip of green cardstrip adhered with 3D thin foam tape.  Kitty was added with 3D thin foam tape for dimension on the stitched rectangle. A speech bubble was cut, bordered with green cardstock, sentiment stamped with black ink and adhered in upper-right hand corner.  

The balance of the Zip Strip from paperpack was adhered inside card base to the bottom and right-hand borders.  



Please hop on over to Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #20 "Critters" and check out the Design Teams inspiration and other entrants. Your entry must be a Christmas/Holiday Card using an image and/or sentiment related to Coffee, Tea or Hot Cocoa, and for August use at least one cute critter.

It's Not the Holidays withhout Cookies & Coffee - Color Dare #523

This is my card for Day 8 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #523 "TicTacToe" using the CTMH paperpack "Freshly Baked" combined with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #499 and using a coffee theme to enter in the  2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  My TicTacToe choice was all colors, except for the metallic.  





The sticker Sentiment from the "Freshly Baked" paperpack was perfect for the AHSC and for a coffee theme simply added "& Coffee" at the end and bordered with Scarlet cardstock. Selected the two patterned papers, bordered each with Toffee cardstock and adhered to card base.  

The mocha coffee cup was found in my stash... colored, fussy-cut and adhered to the edge of the sentiment in place of the floral embellishment. Fussy-cut several of the sticker cookies and adhered them with 3D thin foam tape to a plate cut from a die using Toffee cardstock.   

Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.  

Hope to see you at Double Trouble and win another chance at our random draw if you have entered your project at the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop... and add a funny pun on your project for another chance.

Cheer

This is my card for Day 6 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.





Had seen a couple cards with Brentwood in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and went to Jessica Lynn Original Studios to get the image... pleasant surprise, a freebie offered during the Blog Hop so you still have time to download, rcreat and add to your stock SVG fles.  Found a great sketch to display Brentwood with the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #583.

Brentwood is such a great image for a masculine card. Keeping that in mind I went to my stash for complementary patterned papers that Brentwood would enjoy. Cut the required rectangles for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch.  

Using white cardstock I copied and pasted svg Brentwood image four times and printed. Cut and colored the base layer in full, colored the full cup w/mashmallows, cup only and some of bells from each other printed image. These pieces were all fussy-cut and layered and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  All panels were framed with a thin border of New England Ivy and then placed and adhered on card base.   

For the little embellishment in the corner of the sentiment panel I decided to use more jingle bells, with some foliage and a red bow which finished off the sketch.  Brentwood makes me happy and he looks quite pleased with his colors.

Happiness Is YOU By My Side

 This is my card for Day 5 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  





Love my stash... found an image and card kit from Jenn Dove's Copic Class at a local Craft Shop long time ago which only needed a little touch up to complete the coloring. Used the checkered ribbon froom the card kit and made my own Christmas coffee themed layout.  Cut the image with an scalloped oval die and a border die from the same die set with chocolate cardstock.   

The coffee themed patterned paper with cups and coffee beans were a good match of color for the background and the framed house mice.  This was then bordered with Chocolate cardstock and adhered to card base.  The sentiment chosen was a good fit for the house mice and printed partially on the focal point with the bolder part of sentiment on the r-h corner directly on the patterned paper.

Peppermint Spice & Everything Nice

This is my card for Day 4 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  





Again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021.  Pulled out this adorable Gingerbread Man image from Whimsy, and actually the coloring was completed unlike the two previous... and a special time-saving find from my stash. The image was fussy-cut and set aside to go through stash again for a good match of patterned paper.  

The patterned paper reminded me of peppermint candies and a good match for the candy cane.  Die cut a cup using the same design paper and a second cut in nutmeg cardstock. Used the patterned paper on the sleeve and the cover of the cup and adhered to an oval frame and then to the background patterned paper. This was then bordered with Candy Apple cardstock and adhered to card base.  The sentiment was selected for the flavored coffee and candies.  


Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.

From Our House To Your House - Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

This is my card for Day 3 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and also sharing in the "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11" to include at least one holly element.  






Once again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021.  Pulled out this adorable Mouse image from Whimsy, partially colored... another perfect find from my stash. So I pulled out my Boot Camp Notebook and obtained the colors needed to complete the coloring. Added a handle to the tree holder to look like a cup of coffee or tea.  The image was cut for a rectangular frame and partially fussy-cut the mouse's head to hang over the side, added a Candy Apple border and adhered to the patterned paper. 

Found a nice match of colors in my stash of patterened papers using both sides... one cut with a border die and the other to fit the rest of the card base.  I used the strip from the border cut and adhered it to the r-h side of card just because it softened up the cut and used Candy Apple cardstock for border and adhered to card base.  


Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.

Double Trouble Challenge #125A "DeJa-BREW" Mochachocalovyoualatte

This is my Design Team card for our Double Trouble "DeJa-BREW" participating with Day 1 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and also sharing in the "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11" to include at least one holly element.  





Once again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021.  Pulled out this adorable moose or deer image from Whimsy, partially colored, and it included holly... a perfect find from my stash. So I pulled out my Boot Camp Notebook and obtained the colors needed to complete the coloring. It's a lot easier to follow the instructions at Boot Camp on shadowing and shading; but I think I managed it through the photo. Finished it off with white gel pen for highlights.  

I die cut a teeny weeny cocoa cup my daughter gifted me, adhered with foam tape on the hand of the critter, drew some steam with a black Copic Multi-liner and then bordered the image with Ruby cardstock.  Again back to my stash for the a good match of colors for my image and background... found and used both sides of pattererned paper, cutting diagonally, used Ruby cardstock border and adhered to card base.  


Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.
