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.  

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"

A Latte Birthday Wishes - Color Dare Challenge #522 - Two Only

Here is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #522 "2-Color" (using Honey Butter and Lagoon).  I used the color challenge to create a card for participation on Day 2 of the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop. 

In addition... the Heart2Heart "Recipe Exchange" had two options to feature a recipe or use a recipe (set of directions) to create a project.  I chose to create my project using the ingredients from the Try Stampin' on Tuesdays Sketch Challenge #582.  

The two circles on the sketch were perfect for my latte coffee cups, stamped four on Honey Butter cardstock, fussy cut 2 cup/saucer in full and the other 2 cups only. Cups adhered with 3D thin foam tape to the saucer for dimension.  Stamped the two latte arts with Nutmeg ink on White Daisy cardstock, fussy-cut, adhered to  the top of the cup/saucer image and then adhered full cup to a Logoon patterned paper that reminded me of coffee steam, and bordered with Nutmeg cardstock. The patterend paper was cut down to 4 1/4"  

Cut the card base with Honey Butter and adhered the cup focal piece.  Stamped the sentiment on white card stock, adhered to a nutmeg cardstock banner cut Cut a banner for the sentiment and placed bottom r-h corner of card.

Plant a Tree of Friendship - Double Trouble #125 "Color Theory DTC =C3"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #125 "Color Theory DTC=C3" shades of yellow, orange, green using Twisted Sister's optional twist to include Sunflower(s), and combined it with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #498.  

The Sunflowers were stamped and masked using Saffron ink on the landscape top of a 4" x 5 1/4" White Daisy cardstock. Each flower was sponged with yellows, oranges and then brown in the sunflower centers. The bottom of the same cardstock was blended with the same variety of colors in the sunflowers to mimic the color stripe from the sketch.  The leaf edger was cut using White Daisy cardstock and blended with greens and the bar with a little brown.  The sentiment was stamped on the green bar of the leaf edger with Nutmeg ink and used a torn edge oval in Nutmeg cardstock to frame the sentiment.   

Thing 2: Double Dare says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, and have been inspired by the Inspiration Photo in our partner's challenge, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Inspiration Station's 'Golden Fields'. In your post please include how their challenge photo may have inspired you."  I was inspired with the colors and the sunflowers.  

Inside of card:  On the bottom right-hand corner three sunflowers were stamped, masked and brush sponged with same yellows/oranges.  Happy to be awarded one of the Top 3 for this challenge.

Trick or Treat - Double Trouble #124 - SomeThing, AnyThing, Everything

Here is my design team card for Double Trouble "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" using Twisted Sister's optional twist to include a wild life critter(s).  When I saw the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #497 it cried out to use this sketch for my last Halloween card... this was so fun sketch to work with all the variations of the sketch.  

In place of the banners on the upper left-hand upper border I chose to put a couple of candies peeking out from behind the two patterned paper rectangles.  The eyes of the bat were replacement for the two embellishments in the upper right-hand corner and another candy at the left-hand corner as the embellishment.  

A sentiment was stamped several times with pumpkin treat baskets bordered in black and then adhered with 3D thin foam for dimension and a place to stand the Witch Owl. Owl was stamped, colored and adhered to the background orange and black rainbow circle with 3D thin foam tape also for dimension.  All candies were fussy-cut with candies placed as embellishments, under the arm of the owl, her broomstick and adhered with foam tape.

Here Comes Christmas - Color Dare #520 - TicTacToe

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #520 "TicTacToe" (Column 3: Scarlet, Pine, Toffee) and using CTMH paperpack Christmas Story.  Well here it is again going into November and I have only put a dent in my Christmas cards; so here's one less that I need to make. However, I love this stamp set and may do a couple more.   

Heart2Heart has a challenge "Create a Cool Background"... not sure if this means inked background as the requirement; but I used patterned paper for my "Cool"  Winter background.   

 

Stamped two sets of Santa's rail cars, sign and gift images on white cardstock, die cut images, colored first set with Copic markers, cut and colored parts of the second set to adhere with thin foam tape to the first set for dimension. Phew, a lot of fussy-cutting.  

For my background... used a dotted patterned paper for a light snow fall and a patterned paper for snow with a die cut stitched track for Santa's train with car filled with gifts.  Sentiment added at bottom corner of screen.

Boo - Double Trouble Challenge #123 "Let's Get Around To It" with AHSC #496

This is a Halloween card for our Double Trouble Challenge #123 "Lets Get Around To It"... simply need at least one circle on your project to meet the DTC requirements.  To earn extra chances for for our random draw prize use our partner's sketch Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #496.  

This was quite a sketch to work with and took some thought on what I was going to use to create a spooky cute Halloween card... I think I managed it with changing the sketch to a landscape and using miscellaneous pieces from my stash. The background paper is very old not really a Halloween patterned paper; but the purple and pattern just made it a Holiday night time sky for the cute ghost and bat sticker images that come out at night and swirl around the sky. The circle gave it movement and the panels in the center brought in some color. Spiders were used in the corners for my embellishment, and a Boo sticker added for my sentiment. Happy Halloween.

Thanksgiving - Double Trouble Challenge #123 "Let's Get Around To It" with AHSC #495

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #123 "Lets Get Around To It".  Thing 1 says to use a round... and since I had opened cricut design space for another project I remembered a pumpkin doily cut which could be used for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #495 which would look good with a pretty CTMH Fall patterned paper "Crisp Air".  

For the background I used the pretty leaf patterned paper and bordered with Paprika and Pine cardstock panels.  The pumpkin doily was a Cricut cut using Paprika and Black cardstock and adhered to background with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  The leaves were a combination of stickers and leaves fussy-cut from the same patterned paper, placed in a pile on the doily center and adhered with 3D foam tape for additional dimension. Sentiment was added using White Daisy cardstock bordered in Pine.

Pumpkin Kisses - Color Dare #518 - Triple Play

This is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #518 "Triple Play" using Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #494.  Looking at this sketch it already gave me the theme for a nice Fall card and the color challenge seemed a good fit. The sketch really defined and made it so easy to create this card. 

Using the colors from the board, all pieces were cut using the light and dark sides of Melon, Desert Rose and Rosemary cardstock.  The background was cut using the light side of Melon and the pretty border dies using the darker side to enhance and give some dimension to the background.  The banners were cut in different sizes and adhered to the background. 

The pumpkins were stamped and then cut with the thin dies; however, if I mess up on the placement of the stamp, I'll correct by fussy-cutting closer, which I really do prefer a closer cut.  The stamps and foliage were adhered with variable 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Finished off with the sentiment stamped directly to the background.

Double Trouble #122 - Jan's Digitals (Fall )

Here is my Design Team project for Double Trouble "Fall Colors - Leafin' It Up To You" using the colors in Trouble Maker's clipart and sharing the same colors with ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #515 TicTacToe using the CTMH Paperpack Crisp Air).  My choice was (Col 1:  Nectarine, Pine, Sundance) + all other colors except Peach and Gold.  Double Trouble is partnering with Jan's Digi's Blog Challenge "Anything Goes" and earn an additional chance at Double Trouble's Random Draw. 

In my stash there was a tag stamp with a Fall floral which was perfect for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #492. This challenge will have ended by the time this post comes up but loved the sketch for theme for Double Trouble. Took advantage of the many coordinating patterned papers and used them for the banners, background and the go-to-cup with Pumpkin spice coffee. The pumpkin was fussy-cut from one of the patterned papers to satisfy Twisted Sister's optional twist to "include a pumpkin". Tag, background and banners were each bordered with Paprika cardstock. Sentiment was stamped on the upper right-hand side for balance instead of on the tag.  

Two tags were stamped lightly with Mocha ink and then one colored with a variety of Copic colors close to the TicTacToe Board. The other one was used to fussy-cut the two florals and adhered with 3D thin and regular foam tape for dimension.  The to-go-cup was a die that was cut using the patterned paper, the sleeve and cover were adhered with 3D thin foam, and then adhered to tag base with foam tape.  Pumpkin was fussy-cut from patterned paper, adhered with thin foam tape in center and glued to the sides for rounding. Below is a photo taken to show the dimension.   

Forgot to mention my booboo. I was testing the Copic colors for Nectarine and Sundance and tested the colors on my almost completed tag floral in the upper right-hand corner. Unfortunately, it was too large an area to cover with an embellishment. But I did have the two leaves on the extra tag which I colored, fussy-cut and adhered with thin tape for dimension.
