Christmas Card using TSOT Sketch

Day 7 - 2021 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop 

This is my card made for the 2021 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and using the Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch #532 with theme from Heart2Heart "Oh Dear".  

The sketch is CAS so kept pretty much to the sketch as one I hade made previously.  I love the mix of patterns... so my choice of design papers were a holly background with two other patterns from the same paperpack, layered each with Harbour cardstock and adhered to card base.  

Chose to change the tab to a cute a To Go Cup... pieced from one cut of design paper and the other with Toffee cardstock.  A sentiment was stamped, edged with Toffee Ink and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.  On the inside add two zip strips along the border.

Day 6 - 2021 Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 

This card was made for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using white cardstock and stamping To Go Cups and sprinkles randomly, colored with with variety of Copic pens, layered with Toffee and adhered to card base. My initial thought was to use a donut image with sprinkles; however, there was a sentiment on the same stamp set that was, of course, perfect for my background.

Cut a square stitched frame in Toffee. Cut a second stitched frame in white cardstock and stamped on sentiment with Toffee Ink and adhered to the Toffee stitched frame with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.

Happy Pumpkin Season

Day 5 - 2021 Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop 

As I was settling down in my Craft Room, drinking my pumpkin spice coffee and looking at the CTMH Pumpkin Treats for my next Coffee Lovers card... I remembered a Gel Press background I did at my daughter's awhile ago and it shouted out pumpkin spice. When I pulled it from my stash I was mesmerized and had to very studiously select what part of this gel press background I was going to use.  I was attracted to the large spot of orange so cut my A2 card size to include this spot on the edge so that it wouldn't be covered with images.  

The To Go Cup was stamped on a textured tan cardstock, colored in coffee at the top of the cup and fussy-cut.  The sleeve was stamped with orange, fussy cut and adhered to cup.  Used the thin die to cut another To Go Cup in black and adhered to the back of the tan cup as a shadow and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension on background.  

The pumpkin pie was stamped on colonial white cardstock, 3 times, colored with Copic pens, fussy-cut each of the layers, pieced and glued the three layers and adhered to background with 3D thin foam tape.  Sentiment was stamped several times in the Misti with Black Ink and black dots were placed in two of the corners.  

Used one of the pieces cut off from the original gel press background, layered it with black cardstock and adhered to the inside border of card.

Double Trouble Challenge #97B - "Peek-a-Boo" partnering with Try Stampin' on Tuesday

Here is my DT card for Double Trouble #97B "Peek-A-Boo" and including Twisted Sister's Optional Twist to use the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #533 (Flipped Vertical) and chose to use a coffee and chocolate theme.  By using the coffee theme I'm able to enter my card at the 2021 Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop and Coffee Lover's Cardmakers - Caffeine Fueled Paper.  

   

The cut for the Peek-a-Boo card is very simple, but the planning of what you want to do from front to inside took me some time to put it all together.  Many ideas crossed my mind and changes made along the way until satisfied with the result.  I could probably write a book on all the thoughts and changes but I'm keeping it simple by just giving you the ingredients down below of my choices of putting this card together including the tutorial.   

I will mention a couple things... I forgot about finishing off the TSOT's sketch and almost missed the panel and twine on the left-hand side; however, I was able improvise by stamping a lot of sprinkles, adding the perfect pink twine and even went above my comfort zone to make a tiny bow.  The second thing was a sentiment that I wanted for the inside... it took me three stamp sets and partial words to create "And a Little Chocolate".

Here is my FIRST card." 

This is my card for the Double Trouble "DeJa-Brew" kicking off the start of the 2021 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and using Twisted Sister's Optional Twist to use the Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch #532.  

The sketch is CAS so kept pretty much to the sketch.  I love the mix of patterns... so my choice of design papers were a Toffee striped background with two other patterns in Glacier, layered each with Toffee cardstock and adhered to card base.  

Chose to change the tab to a cute little Hedgehog... stamped and colored with Copic pens in Browns and Glacier for the scarf. Stamped a second Hedgehog, colored the scarf only, fussy-cut and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Stamped and colored the Coffee To Go Cup and adhered with glue between the paws. A sentiment was stamped, edged with Toffee Ink and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.  On the inside stamped several To Go Cups along border.

Color Dare Challenge #470 participating in Coffee Lover's Fall Winter Blog Hop

This is my DT Card for CloseToMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #470 "TicTacToe" using the colors from CTMH paper packet "Candid Moments".  Today is Day 1 of the 2021 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop... so what better than to make a Coffee To Go Cup.  

I had previously made a small Coffee To Go Cup using a Cricut svg file.  I modified this to make an A2 size which was perfect for my To Go Cup.  The design paper with most of the colors were used for the cup and the textured basket weave for the sleeve and cap.  Fortunately the colors on the To Go Cup had many of colors need to get a TicTacToe... Row 1 "Papaya, Sundance, French Vanilla"  and Column 2 "Sundance, Mink, Peach".  

The first Cricut cut was the card base in White Daisy.  Another cut was the total To Go Cup, and then addional cuts were made for the sleeve and then adhered to the To Go Cup.  There were additional cuts for the cap/rim and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for additional dimension.  

The sentiment and heart on the sleeve were stamped with VersaMark, covered with embossing powder (closest to Mink) and then heat embossed. 

Color Dare challenges are carried forward for two weeks so if you didn't share a project for this Inspiration Photo challenge you still have another week to enter.

A Holiday Treat - Color Dare #413 using AHSC ##387

Here is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare "TicTacToe" using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #387.  The sketch reminded me of a couple of books on top of each other and I had just the right die for this.  Cut the book dies in multiple sizes in French Vanilla, Sangria and a Design Paper for the words on the pages. The first book was adhered directly to the background and the second book was added using 3D thin foam tape to show dimension.  Scored the middle of the book giving the page separation and more dimension. What goes with books... a hot cup of coffee, hot chocolate or tea and a comfortable chair... enjoy.  The cup was stamped with a Holiday sentiment.

My DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #359 using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #332. 

Chose to create a coffee, tea or cocoa theme at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Caffeine Fueled Paper Play as a tribute to Craftin' Desert Diva's who have contributed, shared and sponsored so many adorable stamps and digitals.  All you have to do is pull out your favorite Craftin’ Desert Divas stamp or digital image and use a coffee, tea or cocoa theme and play along! 

The three colors I chose were Goldrush, New England Ivy and Sage + Peach and Neutral Brown. My background was design paper from "Cats & Bats", the scalloped border was design paper from "Hawthorne" and both were layered with NE Ivy cardstock. A ribbon was added down the middle of the card.  

Started with a White Scalloped frame, stamped leaves with black ink on NE Ivy cardstock, a couple of design papers and adhered leaves with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Found some acorns in my stash and added them to the bottom of the leaves.  

I chose the Craftin' Desert Diva's digital squirrel garden image, colored with copics and placed in the pile of leaves...which pretty much covered my frame. Die cut a coffee cup from Paper Smooches with a piece of the PML image from the paper pack to include the heart and placed so the bee appeared as the coffee steam.  Grateful die sentiment was cut from chocolate cardstock, layered and adhered to bottom r-h corner.
