It's Not the Holidays withhout Cookies & Coffee - Color Dare #523

This is my card for Day 8 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #523 "TicTacToe" using the CTMH paperpack "Freshly Baked" combined with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #499 and using a coffee theme to enter in the  2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  My TicTacToe choice was all colors, except for the metallic.  





The sticker Sentiment from the "Freshly Baked" paperpack was perfect for the AHSC and for a coffee theme simply added "& Coffee" at the end and bordered with Scarlet cardstock. Selected the two patterned papers, bordered each with Toffee cardstock and adhered to card base.  

The mocha coffee cup was found in my stash... colored, fussy-cut and adhered to the edge of the sentiment in place of the floral embellishment. Fussy-cut several of the sticker cookies and adhered them with 3D thin foam tape to a plate cut from a die using Toffee cardstock.   

Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.  

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

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 "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11"

Cheer

This is my card for Day 6 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.





Had seen a couple cards with Brentwood in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and went to Jessica Lynn Original Studios to get the image... pleasant surprise, a freebie offered during the Blog Hop so you still have time to download, rcreat and add to your stock SVG fles.  Found a great sketch to display Brentwood with the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #583.

Brentwood is such a great image for a masculine card. Keeping that in mind I went to my stash for complementary patterned papers that Brentwood would enjoy. Cut the required rectangles for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch.  

Using white cardstock I copied and pasted svg Brentwood image four times and printed. Cut and colored the base layer in full, colored the full cup w/mashmallows, cup only and some of bells from each other printed image. These pieces were all fussy-cut and layered and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  All panels were framed with a thin border of New England Ivy and then placed and adhered on card base.   

For the little embellishment in the corner of the sentiment panel I decided to use more jingle bells, with some foliage and a red bow which finished off the sketch.  Brentwood makes me happy and he looks quite pleased with his colors.

Happiness Is YOU By My Side

 This is my card for Day 5 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  





Love my stash... found an image and card kit from Jenn Dove's Copic Class at a local Craft Shop long time ago which only needed a little touch up to complete the coloring. Used the checkered ribbon froom the card kit and made my own Christmas coffee themed layout.  Cut the image with an scalloped oval die and a border die from the same die set with chocolate cardstock.   

The coffee themed patterned paper with cups and coffee beans were a good match of color for the background and the framed house mice.  This was then bordered with Chocolate cardstock and adhered to card base.  The sentiment chosen was a good fit for the house mice and printed partially on the focal point with the bolder part of sentiment on the r-h corner directly on the patterned paper.   


Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.

Peppermint Spice & Everything Nice

This is my card for Day 4 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop.  





Again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021.  Pulled out this adorable Gingerbread Man image from Whimsy, and actually the coloring was completed unlike the two previous... and a special time-saving find from my stash. The image was fussy-cut and set aside to go through stash again for a good match of patterned paper.  

The patterned paper reminded me of peppermint candies and a good match for the candy cane.  Die cut a cup using the same design paper and a second cut in nutmeg cardstock. Used the patterned paper on the sleeve and the cover of the cup and adhered to an oval frame and then to the background patterned paper. This was then bordered with Candy Apple cardstock and adhered to card base.  The sentiment was selected for the flavored coffee and candies.

From Our House To Your House - Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

This is my card for Day 3 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and also sharing in the "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11" to include at least one holly element.  






Once again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021.  Pulled out this adorable Mouse image from Whimsy, partially colored... another perfect find from my stash. So I pulled out my Boot Camp Notebook and obtained the colors needed to complete the coloring. Added a handle to the tree holder to look like a cup of coffee or tea.  The image was cut for a rectangular frame and partially fussy-cut the mouse's head to hang over the side, added a Candy Apple border and adhered to the patterned paper. 

Found a nice match of colors in my stash of patterened papers using both sides... one cut with a border die and the other to fit the rest of the card base.  I used the strip from the border cut and adhered it to the r-h side of card just because it softened up the cut and used Candy Apple cardstock for border and adhered to card base.

Double Trouble Challenge #125A "DeJa-BREW" Mochachocalovyoualatte

This is my Design Team card for our Double Trouble "DeJa-BREW" participating with Day 1 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and also sharing in the "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11" to include at least one holly element.  





Once again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021.  Pulled out this adorable moose or deer image from Whimsy, partially colored, and it included holly... a perfect find from my stash. So I pulled out my Boot Camp Notebook and obtained the colors needed to complete the coloring. It's a lot easier to follow the instructions at Boot Camp on shadowing and shading; but I think I managed it through the photo. Finished it off with white gel pen for highlights.  

I die cut a teeny weeny cocoa cup my daughter gifted me, adhered with foam tape on the hand of the critter, drew some steam with a black Copic Multi-liner and then bordered the image with Ruby cardstock.  Again back to my stash for the a good match of colors for my image and background... found and used both sides of pattererned paper, cutting diagonally, used Ruby cardstock border and adhered to card base.  


Don't forget Thing 1 (me) is asking you to join us at Double Trouble in participation with the 2022 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I'm getting the JITTERS FOR JAVA which MOCHA me crazy.  So get started... rise and GRIND, throw on a TEAshirt and sweats, grab a CUPPA your favorite and don't be LATTE.  Enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration, hop along, stay GROUNDED and no ProCAFFEINATING.

Color Dare #440 - Crazy 8 "Choose 4 Panels in Board"

This is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #440 "Crazy 8" with my choice of four blocks (Glacier, New England Ivy, Peach and Floral) and using the Try Stamping on Tuesday Sketch #502. Decided to as well to use TSOT's technique "Fun Fold" tutorial by Mary Deatherage's tutorial "side fold card".  




Color My Heart Color Dare challenges are carried forward for two weeks so if you didn't share your project the first week you still have another week to enter that challenge... both of these challenges are on the side bar of the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog. Please check out Design Team Cards and other entrants to give you inspiration and join us for some fun color challenges.

The TSOT sketch was changed to landscape to meet the Fun Fold card base.  Panels were cut for both the border and the main focal point with a striped glacier patterned paper.  On left-side panel a decorative edge was die cut, layered with glacier cardstock and placed a sentiment instad of the flowers.   

The focal point was also layered with glacier cardstock, floral fussy-cut from the complement patterned paper and adhered to striped background with tape and thin foam tape for dimension.  

Two butterfly die cuts were made, one in a peach design paper and the other in white. Decided it showed off the butterfly better against the floral using the white cut on top with a peek-a-boo of the patterned paper as a shadow on the bottom. They were adhered together on the body of the butterfly and placed on the floral.  Perl was added to the butterfly and some placed along the left-side of panel.  

On the inside of the card the same border on the front of the card was added to the right-hand inside border.
