Happy Santa Coffee Card

The time is nearly up for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  This is where I put on my "sad" face.  It has been fun creating in my crafty cave and avoiding all the "Christmas chores."  :)  Speaking of Christmas chores, you will be glad to know I have decorated two of our three trees TODAY plus hope to finish the third.  I'm ready to get all the Christmas ornament boxes back in the attic and my house back in order.   I made this Santa card last night trying to get my Christmas cards finished up.  I need to be addressing them and getting them on their way.  This "happy" coffee drinking Santa will be linking up at:

Cup of Cheer Holiday Card

I got a new paper pad from Michael's a few weeks ago and was thrilled with one of the images in it.  I knew it would make a fast and easy holiday card.  I added a stamped sentiment by Hero Arts, baker's twine bow and a few snowflake spankles...and almost instant gratification.  (Wink.)  If you haven't been joining in on the fun at the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, then you have been missing out.  I'm dreading when it is ends because I won't have any more excuses for not doing all the holiday "chores."  ;)  Oh well, enjoy it while it lasts!  :)

Extra Cheer Coffee Card

I have been busy making cards for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop this afternoon.  Having fun and enjoying one of my favorite online events.  Thanks to Amy Tsuruta for all her hard work at putting this huge blog hop together with lots and lots of inspiration and prizes.  For this card, I cut out the large to go coffee cup with my Silhouette Cameo.  The stamped sentiments are by Clearsnap.

Foiled Merry Coffee Card

Playing with my hot foil machine on this card.  I hot foiled the merry diecut word with gold foil.  The sentiment and cup were heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  Easy peasy.

O Tannebaum Tag

For day six at Ellen Hutson's 12 Days of Tags, the challenge is create a tag with woodgrain elements.  I'll admit I had to put on my thinking cap for this one.  :)  I was inspired by both Laurel and Carly's tags with the trees.  I finally remembered I had an embossing folder which was woodgrain.  I embossed my kraft cardstock tag with the woodgrain folder.  Then I used my new hot foil machine and green foil to "color" the diecut tree (plus used the "leftovers" for a mat on the sentiment.  The sentiment was typed.  I put small green jewels on the foiled tree for extra sparkle.  

Coffee To Go Holiday Card

Been playing in my craft room making coffee themed Christmas cards today.....just letting the trees go, wrapping undone and no baking (laundry or anything else really).  Wink!  But since the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop is getting close to the end, it is all about priorities.  ;)  All the "chores" will still be there when it is over.  So I'm going to enjoy being crafty one more day!  When I was going through my stash of stamps, I saw this little dog driving his card and instantly thought "coffee to go."  :)  This caffeine fueled dog is going to link up at:
