Yeti For The Holidays -- Coffee Lover's Caffeinated Christmas Card "Hearts"

Here is a second card as a Guest Designer for the February Challenge of Caffeinated Christmas Card "Hearts" sponsored by LTTS Doodles.  

Once again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021. Pulled out an adorable Yeti which I hadn't finished but thought he would make a great Christmas card.  This was a nightmare for me at the class because the eyes on the Yeti stamp was only a dot and Jenn showed us a technique on how to enhance eyes.  I was happy with it until one of my copics bled out on the eye to the right.  It looked better than what I remembered so made a couple adjustments and it just appeared as more shadowing on that side of the Yeti.  

I still needed to do Yeti's fur... again this was another specialized technique.  Pulled out my Boot Camp Notebook, obtained the colors and did the technique from a photo.  It's definitely a lot easier to follow Jen's instructions on shadowing and shading, I did the best I could from the photo... not quite the same as Jen's photo but happy with it.  

To finish off the Christmas card with coffee and heart I had a die which was perfect to complete my card.  Now the fun begins...

I had a fun fold card base in my stash and decided to use it for Yeti. I was really stumbling around with the papers, the image placements and colors... and after I took photos to turn over to the Coffee Lover's decided I wasn't happy with it.  That cup was not the right color, and I couldn't move the sentiment because it was all fussy cut words  The positioning was top heavy.  I couldn't talk myself into using the fun fold.  Here is a photo of the fun fold before I tore it down. 

The fun fold card base was put back in my stash for another card in the future.  

The A2 card went pretty fast, chose a different background paper, cut the hearts with same paper, colored the cup in red, added a snowflake to balance the sentiment and bordered with candy apple cardstock. A2 Card completed in half an hour.

Double Trouble Challenge #50 - It's a Tall Order partnering with Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch

This is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #50 "It's a Tall Order" using the optional twist "Stack It Up" and partnering with Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #445.  The paperpack used had complements and PML cards that dies that could be used for my stack of cups and long banner, and the circle in sketch was replaced by my floral.  Selected coordinating papers for the background panels and even the scallop edge was in the complements.  So my card went together pretty fast until I decided I wanted a shadow behind my cups so it added some fussy-cutting.  And the sentiment was picked because during a cold nothing better than a cup of tea and flowers to lift you up.   

Please visit us at Double Trouble for this fun challenge,
