Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop-Day 3 1/2

Well, Day 3 of the Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is moving along and I have one more for you today!  Here's what I've been working on:

I don't know what it is, but I'm really enjoying these darker colors right now... along with a little bit of plaid it's such a cozy feel I think!  Again I'm using some retired CTMH papers from the Jack paper pack.  I started by using my favorite Double Stitched Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness for my first layer attached to my base.  Then I used the 8 Point Star Quilt Die from A Jillian Vance Design and cut a window into the gray plaid and then cut it twice more.. once from a red plaid and once from plain red cardstock.  I attached my gray plaid to the black base and then pieced together my quilt inside the open square.  I kept the color palette tone on tone so that it would be a nice backdrop.

Then I cut the cup from some Carta Bella paper from the Let It Snow Paper Pad that had a nice dainty snow print on it in all the right colors using the Coffee, Tea and Me die set from Jillian Vance... awesome cup set!!  The steam comes with it and this may be my new favorite steam for almost any cup I have...lol!  I cut it out of some white glitter paper along with the little hearts that are part of the steam die and they are so sweet.  I added a couple snowflakes from my stash that I felt lent themselves to being part of the steam.

And this Joy word die with a snowflake for the O ... love it!   This was a set in my stash I've had for a while, but you could do this with any alpha set and snowflake.  I got lucky and this was just the right size!

Rather than your typical Coffee sentiment, I decided to keep this one open so I could send it to anyone.  I love the sentiments on the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags stamp set... such a nice size and fit perfectly on the largest of the Flag Banner Dies from Craftin Desert Divas.
