Welcome to Day 5 of the Winter 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! And here's what I have for you today:
So you should know... I haven't gotten great reviews from my test audience on this one. I've been told it looks like a duck and then the old "It's certainly unique" and my wonderful husband's... "what is that? That is not a good card" before he knew it was mine...lol. Can you tell what it is? That's right! It's a snowman squeezing the last few drops of coffee from a coffee cup! (I'm just trying to make myself feel better... maybe you didn't guess... but can you see it now??)
I used the adorable new Snowman Card Dies to create this cutie. I'm very excited to be Guest Designing over at the Paper Smooches Blog this month. I was inspired by another card by Design Team Member Savannah O'Gwynn and you can check it out here!
Love this cup from the Coffee and Tea Dies. I love it when a cup die has the inside of the handle cut out. And that cute little snowman is from the Cool Dudes stamp set. My snowman has a snowman coffee cup.. that's cute, right? And the snowflakes on the cup and background... I cut some snowflakes using the Snowflakes Dies out of some double sided Elizabeth Crafts adhesive. I peeled off once side of the adhesive and pressed the snowflakes onto the card and cup. Then I peeled the opposite side off and ribbed on some Prisma Glitter. I love the way it came out... sparkly, but it picked up the color from the paper. Those coffee drops I cut free hand and added a few layers of Liquid Glass to make them look like droplets!
And there's a challenge going on over at Paper Smooches this month... all about winter!
I'm also linking up to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #435! You should check this one out!
So, thanks for stopping today and hope you enjoyed it. Honestly, I love this card! Sorry if you don't...lol!
Hope to see you again tomorrow!

Why, I could make it out within 30 seconds (if not immediately).. and I think it definitely very well done! It takes some innovation to put it together so well, I think you've definitely pulled it off really well! :) Awesome card!!
