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!

I'll be linking this tag/card up at:

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.

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:

Yeti Coffee Card

This time of year there are lots of FUN things going on and one of them is the Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!  There are also extra chores to do and I am trying to get our trees decorated for Christmas.  ;)  It usually takes me a few days to get finished since I do three trees.   (One is a traditional tree in our den, one is a Santa tree in the breakfast room and one is a snowman tree in our glass room.)  It takes longer too when you are hiding out in your craft room making coffee cards.  It is all about priorities.  (Wink.)  This coffee drinking yeti will be joining in on the fun at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags/Bonus Day -- Cardinal Snow Tag

I made this tag last night for the bonus day at 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  I am happy I managed to do a tag for each day of this fun event (and now have 25 pretty cards made with them).  BUT I am sad it is over....I could get into making a tag EVERY day.  ;)  Oh well something to look forward to NEXT year.  ;)  For this tag, I was inspired by Bunny Vance's cardinal tag.  I heat embossed the snowflake image with detail white embossing powder.  The cardinal die cut was done with my Silhouette Cameo.  I used fun foam for the "snow" word die cut.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing my twenty six tags during the month of November.  This cardinal is going to fly by:
