Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - Java Merry Christmas!

It's time for a new Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  This month we're inspired by Pixie Dust Designs and I'm sharing a card using some items not really meant for the holidays, but with a few add-ons, they sure are fun for the holidays!

I used the Unicorn Mug Dies along with some extras from the Penguin Mug (scarf) and Snowman Mug (Holly).  I cut the pretty mane from pink gel print and foiled green gel print.  The alicorn was cut from gold glitter paper.  Holly leaves were cut from foiled toner paper and the berries from pink glitter paper.  Scarf background was another pink gel print and stripes from more foiled toner paper.

For the background I die cut another pink gel print I made with acrylic paint and foiled it with a leftover deco foil sheet from foiling one of the Lavish Lace card fronts.

That's me for today.  Be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafter's blog to see what everyone has for you today!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #43 - July 2025

It's time for a new Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge over on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog.

This time around I used some fun products from lots of places.  I started with a gel print using a stencil from Gina K Designs.  I deco foiled it with some Magical Shattered Glass foil from Brutus Monroe/Therm O Web.

I cut the mug from Brass & Bliss Craft Co and added a snowflake from them too!  That adorable pug is from Spellbinders and that cute sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge -Feb 2025

Welcome to the February 2025 Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  This month the challenge theme is Christmas, Coffee and Hearts.  Here's how I was inspired:

I used an adorable new stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps, Snow Wizard, along with the trees from Horizon Pines.  I started with a foiled background that I made using a negative sheet from foiling another background and a Poly Glaze Sheet.  I popped up the foiled sentiment from Therm O Web onto the card and then cut some glitter snowy hills and adhered it right against the sentiment.  Then I added the stamped, die cut and colored images.

I added a cute cup and steam, the Merry Christmas from Mama Elephant, the Latte for the sentiment from AJVD Headline Type Alpha Dies and those cute little love speech bubbles from MFT.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog and see what everyone has created for you!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #37

Happy New Year!  It's time for the first Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge of the year!  This month the theme is Coffee, Christmas and Snowflakes!  I created my card using ALL leftovers from previous projects!

I started with a pretty foiled blue background that I was going to use for a previous project and then changed my mind.  The frame was made using the leftovers from a recent card where I had to cut it twice to get the center insert in a different color (using papers from Your Paper Insider) so used the remaining pieces here!

The poinsettia, flourish and snowflakes were foiled and cut for a couple Mixed Media projects ... I had cut a bunch and these were extra so I was able to use them here!  And for the sentiment I had foiled a sheet of sentiments from Therm O Web and this one was perfect for this snowflake theme!

And last but not least I had printed this adorable image from LTTS Doodles long ago and it was in my stash of extras so I cut it out and colored it for this one... so cute, right??  I decided this time to color him in purple..because... why not?

So that's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog where the Caffeinated Christmas Challenge now resides to see what everyone has created for you today and then play along!  I can't wait to see yours!
