Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 3!

We're on Day 3 of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Create something new with a Fall/Winter theme that features Coffee, Tea, or Cocoa and link up for a chance to win!  Link up as many new projects as you wish for more chances!  It's an awesomely fun week and I look forward to it each time!

For my first card today, this is what I've created using current and past hop Sponsors (we so appreciate all of them!)

I started with some retired CTMH paper .. that beautiful buffalo plaid... and then I cut a piece of black cardstock using the quite awesome Moon and Stars Panel Die from Waffle Flower... this die set is so cool and you can use it with or without the beautiful dangly star die that comes with it.  It was perfect to compartmentalize my images!  I love the feeling that she is maybe in the kitchen... just getting the cookies out of the oven with the cocoa steaming and he is enjoying all of the wonderful scents calling him in.

And these cuties from the Smell Like Christmas stamp set!!  Not to mention that cup of cocoa and those yummy cookies!  Gerda Steiner Designs has some of the MOST adorable critter sets!!

I think he may just float right on over to get some goodies!

For the sentiment I used a mix of this sentiment from the Smell Like Christmas stamp set along with 

This beautiful word die from Paper Smooches Christmas Word Dies 2 set!

I decorated with a combo of Doodlebug (aqua heart and dots) and CTMH (red heart steam) embellishments!

In addition to the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, I'm playing along with a few challenges!  Over at Gerda Steiner there is an ongoing Share Your Design challenge each month!  It's always Anything Goes.  Link up anything you've created using GS stamp sets!  I'm also playing along at Double Trouble's Holiday Sweet Treats Challenge,  Use Your Stuff's Holiday Mood Board, Cupcake Inspirations Holiday Challenge and Simon says Stamps Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes this week!
