DTC #152 - Participating with Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Day 2

Join us at Double Trouble Challeng #152 "DeJa-Brew" and hop on by and enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration by our Design Team and entrants. As a previous winner at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmaker my prize primarily included a Santa stamp set and paperpack which inspired this card and Sketch #39 was perfect for the Santa stamp.    

DTC is participating with 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and here is my Coffee themed card for Day 2.  


 
Another PERK?  If you have included at least one Holly element on a Christmas coffee  theme card, you can also enter the Coffee Lover's challenge at "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #23" 
This was a fun card to put together in meeting all the requirements of the three challenges and my Design Team card for our Double Trouble challenge. 

The North Pole map and swirly sky patterned papers were perfect for Santa's lift off and were adhered to Candy Apple cardstock. My new die "stitched border strips" were cut with same cardstock and used for separation of the panels in sketch. Sentiment stamped direct on background with black Memento ink.  

Stamped the Santa in Sleigh using black ink, stamped coffee beans on Santa's bag, colored with a variety of colors using Copic Sketch brush pens, fussy-cut around Santa and sleigh,  and cut image to separate Santa's bag.  

Santa wanted a large coffee because it was going to be a long night...  so I slit along the sleigh line to place a cup.  Cut a To-Go-Cup, stamped a Holly, colored, adhered with foam tape between the sleigh and Santa.  Santa and sleigh were lined up with Santa's bag... bag adhered direct to background and sleigh adhered with 3D thin foam tape for additional dimension.  For additional embellishment added liquid glass to the bells on sleigh and Santa's nose.  Photos below will show the dimension, embellishment and inside of card using left-over patterned paper.  




Hope to see you at Double Trouble "DeJa-BREW" and win another chance at our random draw if you have entered your coffee themed project at the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop... and add a funny pun on your project for another chance.
