Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #42 - June 2025

Today is the start of the June 2025 Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  And with this new month comes some changes!  We hope you love them like we do!

Our first change is actually a change back to beginning on the 1st of each month and ending on the 25th!  This will make it easier to remember and give you a little more time to play along.  Design team members will host each month and the theme will simply be Coffee, Tea or Cocoa and Christmas!  We may highlight a sponsor in our post, but to add an item from that sponsor will be optional.  There will be a prize which could be from the host of that month's challenge or a sponsor!  Be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafter's blog for ALL of the details!

This month Amy is our host and we're highlighting products from Super Sponsor Doodlebugs and the prize is a $20 gift code to their shop!

I was inspired by the adorable Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug and Holiday Add On that is available in the Doodlebug Shop!

I love the Add On and its adorable little details!  I decided to make my mug a reindeer and in my usual fashion I cut my pieces from foiled gel prints.

I created the background with a negative sheet from foiling a pretty snowflake toner card front from Therm O Web and a gold gel print.  Then just a simple sentiment from Therm O Web as well.

That's me for today!  Head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog and see what everyone else has made for you today!

Thanks for stopping!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Valentines Day 2023 - Pretty Pink Posh

Popping in with a Valentines Day Card to say Happy Valentines Day!  I had made this background a few days ago for a project and decided to go in a different direction so this morning I decided to color up one of those adorable Heart Critters and make a quick card to wish you a lovely day!

I hope your day is filled with love... whether it's for a spouse or partner, family member (including those fur babies) or yourself.  Feel the love today!  Sending out as much as I can.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #13 - Jan 2023 - Snowflakes

 

Happy New Year! 

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  This month's Sponsor is Doodlebugs and the random prize is a $25 gift code to the Doodlebugs shop!

I used the adorable Winter Mug Die from Pretty Pink Posh and fun Wonky Squares Frames from Avery Elle that I got from the Doodlebugs shop.

I love this fun mug set!  It includes the Candy Cane, marshmallow, Holly, snowflake as well as a ghost and leaf for autumn!  And the frames are right up my alley.  I added a sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps.

Now it's your turn!  Head on over to the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge for more inspiration.  Create a Christmas Card with a Coffee, Tea or Cocoa theme and add at least one snowflake.

Thanks so much for stopping!  Come again soon!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - May 2022 Edition

It's the 25th of the month and we're back!  It's time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas cards we made this month!  Be sure after you leave here you visit my fellow Crafty Elves, Debra and Michael to see what they've created for you too!

This month I'm playing with alcohol ink and of course I am for these as well!  I created four different panels with various color schemes and added some foil to the sticky parts before they dried completely.  Then I used a Rubbernecker Snowflake Stencil and some Snow Cap to add some snowflakes to the backgrounds.

For two of my cards I used the adorable Beary Christmas stamp set from Pawsome Stamps.  I also used the Cheers and Sentiment strip dies from MFT-both are retired and I got lucky because they were sitting in my pile of unused items that weren't quite right for previous projects but they were perfect for this one!

I just love that cute bear wearing antlers!!

For this one I used the square frame from my stash and the chunky snowflake is an old Paper Smooches die.  The sentiment came from another set from Pawsome Stamps, Just Sentiments Christmas.

Almost all of the die cuts were extras sitting around waiting to for these cards!

Couldn't you just boop that nose?

I decided I loved the blue and pink backgrounds too much to cover it up so I kept them simple.

The Joy die cut is from Pretty Pink Posh and the three snowflakes are from (top to bottom) Lawn Fawn, Reverse Confetti and A Jillian Vance Design.

Don't you love how that little bit of foil adds that beautiful extra shine!?

And the snowflakes turned out best on this one.  Using the snow cap worked well, but it does get sticky after a while.  Next time I'll try just using acrylic paint which should work well as long as the alcohol inked panel is dry.... 

And I used a fantastic sentiment set from Rubbernecker for that great embossed sentiment.  I embossed it on a banner from AJVD cut from vellum from Brutus Monroe.  And then added snowflakes from Reverse Confetti and Lawn Fawn.

And that's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping!  Don't forget to visit Michael and Debra but before you go, let's pick a winner from last month's post:

Sharon G!  Email me at bzscrapper66 at gmail dot com with your snail mail so I can get some happy mail out to you!

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped and left me some love!  We're playing again this month so let me know you were here and you may be a winner next month.
