Coffee Hipster Santa Card

The Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop is going strong and I am back with another fun coffee card.  I am working on Christmas coffee cards plus general Christmas cards which means my craft room looks like a tornado passed over it.  I usually clean it up after each card and put things back where they go.....but who has time for that with blog hops AND Christmas?  (Wink.)  My hip Santa will be ho ho hoing at:

Warm Wishes Holiday Coffee Card


It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Yep, the Coffee Lover's Winter Blog Hop is going on!  Lots of fun, prizes, and inspiration!  I'm making Christmas cards, decorating trees, shopping, working, and the lists goes on and on.  Oh yea, I'm also doing a little traveling.  I went to see Steve Martin and Martin Short in Birmingham on Thursday night (November 29th).  I haven't laughed so much in FOREVER.  ;)  We stayed the night too....oh, the big city life.  ha-ha  Did you notice the patterned paper on this card?  Isn't it pretty with all the cups and mugs of coffee?  This is in one of the new holiday paper pads at Michael's.  It also has unicorns, mermaid and other fun images in it.  The pad is called Holiday Bash.  The stamp image and sentiment are by Pink and Main.  I used fun foam for the die cut sentiment (thanks again, Amy).  :)  These delicious looking mugs will be linking up at:

Christmas Cup of Cheer Card


I'm having so much fun in my craft room making Christmas "coffee" cards.  I'm listening to my favorite music and creating away....not even thinking about everything there is to do.  ;)  Yep, still working on those trees but I'll get them done before Christmas.  We all know the Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop is more important.  (Wink.)  This cup of cheer is linking up at:

Sugar and Spice Holiday Coffee Tag/Card

I'm back with a quick post for my second tag for Ellen Hutson's 12 Days of Tags.  I was inspired by Carissa Wiley's tag.  I loved how she layered two tags plus the white embossing powder on black.
Once I made my tag I put it on a card (I have made 150+ Christmas cards since October and still need about 20 more.)  I love how this one turned how!

Purple Alcohol Inked Christmas Tag/Card

I tried to get this posted yesterday but too much going on at my house.  Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas (With A Feminine Twist) kicked off with day one of fun.  Her tag designers for day one were Jennifer McGuire and Carolyn Peeler.  Both of them used alcohol inks on their creations and we were challenged to use them too.  I did a purple alcohol ink background for my tag.  I was inspired by Jennifer's blue swirled ornament and "tried" my hand with purple and red alcohol inks.

Once I got my tag made, I decided I would put it on a card.  I'm still behind on the number of Christmas cards I need.  So since the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is going on, I turned it into a "coffee themed" card.  I used my Silhouette Cameo 3 to make the cup shaped card.  I used a coffee cup stamp (by Paper Sweeties But First, Coffee) and purple ink to create the background.

I'm linking up my tag (and card) at:

Believe In Magic Coffee Card



It is the holiday season plus the Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop is going on.....FUN, FUN, FUN!  I used up scraps making this coffee card plus I used foam fun for the die cut word.  Ever since I got a cute card in the mail from Amy Tsuruta where she used black fun foam for a word diecut, I have been obsessed with die cutting fun foam.  If you haven't tried it (like me before Amy's card), then go to Michael's and get some.  ;)

You Are Tea-riffic Card



When I got up this morning, it was dark and rainy which meant get coffee and head to the crafty cave.  :)  I wanted to try my hand at Laurel Seabrook's Sketchy Saturday sketch.  I have been working on Christmas cards since October and was in the mood to do something different (just for one card).  I still need more Christmas cards but a break was in order.  I also thought I would do one "tea" card for the Coffee Lover's Winter Blog Hop.  I love coffee but a cup of of hot tea or hot chocolate this time of year is wonderful too.  :)  The stamp images are by Essentials By Ellen (So Matcha) and the sentiment is by Jillibean Soup (Latte).  I also cut the die cut tags out of a bright green fun foam.  My tea loving girl will be linking up at:
