Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #16 - Brewtiful Rainbow

Welcome to the April Caffeinated Christmas Challenge!  The theme is Coffee, Christmas and Rainbow!  I love rainbows and extra love them for a Christmas card! 

Artful Angel is our sponsor!  Here's how I was inspired:

I'm using Artful Angel's Coffee Break stamp set for today (which also happens to be the prize for this challenge!).  It's a really cute set that includes separate images for the cup, lid, wrap and heart and also includes a spoon, cookies, coffee beans and more... including some great sentiments!

I created the background with that poinsettia stencil from Paper Rose Studios.  I blended some rainbow Distress Oxide colors and then applied Glitz Glitter Gel in iridescent over the top.  While it was drying I stamped, cut and colored my images.  I popped them up on the card and added a sentiment combining stamps from Miss Ink's Brewtiful and Seasons Greetings stamp sets.

That's me for today!  Head on over to the CCCC blog and see what everyone else has created for you today!  And then play along!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping!  I hope you'll come again soon!

 

Crafty Elves Merry Christmas 2022!

 

Welcome back!  And Merry Christmas!

I'm sharing just a couple quick cards today!  It's been a busy month and if you haven't been around in a while you'll find lots more Christmas Card inspiration in almost all of my posts from this month!

And after you leave here, please do go and visit Debra and Michael's places to see what they have for you today!

Last time I was playing with the Gel Press I made a couple using that beautiful Paper Rose Poinsettia stencil that I got at Topflight Stamps!

I added some glitter to this one when I made it so all I did was cut a panel and add that Believe word die from Rubbernecker Stamps.

I love the variation in colors... hard to see here, but this one got run through the Minc with some used Magical Shattered Glass foil which added just enough sparkle.

And built the sentiment with a Merry from Miss Ink's Season's Greetings set and the Rubbernecker Stamps Christmas die.

Easy peasy right??

I want to thank everyone who has stopped by for our little hop throughout the year!  I so enjoy this post even when time is short.  As always I don't have my cards out in the mail yet, but they'll be going out this week.  I forgot to buy stamps!

As always I'm having a giveaway!  And thanks to everyone who wins and is patient with me.  I can be slow mailing sometimes.   I decided to send two people Happy Mail this time around... so let's see who the winners are this month from last month's comments:

Meghan and Denise!  Please send me your snail mail at bzscrapper66 at gmail dot com and I'll get your Happy Mail out to you!

Thank you again to all of my crafty friends who stop and say hello!
