This is my card for STAMPlorations NeverEnding "Anything Goes" Challenge using the freebie, digi-stamp, front and center. Also included in the CasePlorations at Stamplorations, December 1, 2015 Challenge, inspired by the simplicity of one layer cards...and this is simplicity for me. I dry embossed a Nordic design on colonial white cardstock and then colored with ShinHan pens. Used Cricut Design Space to text, weld, and cut all the words to the right of the Cup and Books, and added a stamped sentiment on the upper left-hand corner. "Coffee" is a die. Raised the image and sentiment with 3D Foam Tape.

Hi there! I love your card! Especially love the nordic background and the sentiment! I also like the image - you mentioned it was a freebie at STAMPlorations - could you please direct me as to where it is - I looked but cannot find it. Maybe I'm too late? Thanks! fitkitty1@gmail.com

I've seen this embossing folder (Taylored Expressions, I think), but never colored! It looks gorgeous with your rich, Christmasy colors! Your sentiment is great, too! I'd take cocoa over coffee, but otherwise it sure sounds good to me! Beautiful card, Suzanne! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Cocoa with a twist of vanilla and some small marshmellows...I agree. The embossing folder is from Sizzix Holtz's Alterations.

Thanks, Suzanne! I think TE has a similar one, but I really love how this turned out with your coloring!

Love this sentiment, Suzanne!! So true. :-D

Really nice, Suzanne. I love that embossing folder and the sentiment is perfect for a chilly day. I know some people have it really rough, but anything under 80 degrees is chilly for me LOL!

Suzanne I agree with you!!! The perfect paper for a look of a blanket and love the sentiment. Great job for the challenge.
Nicole Chambers, DT yesterday
Love this, Suzanne! I love the sentiment, it works so well well the stamped image and the Christmas sweater pattern paper! Which I just realized is a coloured embossing folder, so it's even more wow!
Donna Mundinger yesterday
Love it! Makes me all warm and cozy.

Love this card - especially the sentiment - I love curling up with coffee (or maybe tea) and a good book! Love the Nordic look paper. So glad you linked up to my challenge at ChouxChoux Paper Art!
Love the Nordic design...wow you did great at colouring! Wish I owned a cricut explore? Perfect sentiment, great card Sue!
What a great card!!! Love the sentiment and you designed the card perfectly to go with it!! :)
