DTC #152 - Participating with Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Day 5

Join us at Double Trouble Challenge #152 and hop on by and enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration by our Design Team and entrants. Used another patterned paper fromCarta Bella Santa's Workshop prize from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmaker which inspired this card.   

DTC is participating with 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and here is my Coffee themed card for Day 5.  


 
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" 
Another fun card to put together in meeting all the requirements of the three challenges. 

The Red Snowflake patterned paper, layered on Candy Apple cardstock, was a colorful background for the white bear image with a pop of green.  The "stitched border strips" were cut using glitter paper for separation of the panels as in sketch. The center panel was adhered with thin foam tape for dimension.  

Stamped the bear using black ink, cut with Scan 'N Cut, made some slits around the arm and leg to raise up with thin foam for dimension.  Colored with a variety of colors using Copic Sketch brush pens. Stamped, colored and cut a small holly to place on the bears hat.  

Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock, layered with red cardstock and adhered direct to the background paper.  


This photo shows the dimension of the front of the card and the inside card base using a strip of glitter paper and the same patterned paper along the border.

DTC #152 - Particpating with Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Day 4

Join us at Double Trouble Challenge #152 and hop on by and enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration by our Design Team and entrants. This card was inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #550.  

DTC is participating with 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and here is my Coffee themed card for Day 4. 



For the background chose the Snowflake patterned paper from the 6 x 6 paperpack I won from BYSHC.  Using the polka dot patterned paper cut three 1/2" stitched strips and adhered to the snowflake background. In place of the star used a snowflake die cut through the background to suffice for the foliage.  

Penguin and To-Go-Cup was stamped in black, colored where needed, slit the penguin's fllipper to place the cup, glued Penguin's flipper around cup and adhered with 3D thin foam tape near bottom of snowflake (the penguin is my star). Added a layer of Lagoon cardstock behind the background and adhered to card base.  Sentiment was stamped in black on white cardstock, layered with Lagoon cardstock and adhered next to the penguin.  

Used another snowflake border die border using a Lagoon patterned paper and added to the bottom on the inside of the card.

DTC Challenge #153B "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" - Card 2 Happy Harvest

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #153 "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" which includes at least 3 patterned papers, 2 embellishments and 1 Fall or Harvest Item. Twisted Sister's optional twist is to consider using Try Stampin' On Tuesday Sketch #632 and add a sentiment for another chance at the random drawing.  





When making another card for this challenge, I set it aside for a future date.  I had many additional pre-cut/layered patterns from the Gnome paperpack which I was able to put together for a second card. Chose three of the patterned papers but this time chose a Cornucopia image for my Recipe.  

Colored my image with Copic Sketch brushes using a variety of colors to match the colors in the paperpack, rectangle sized with part of the image fussy-cut and then layered with pumpkin cardstock.  Sentiment was stamped below the image on the larger panel and two green dots were added in the upper r-h corner to finish my "Recipe".  

On the inside of the card added some patterned paper to the the right-hand side border.  
 


I'm not laughing now because I got two cards out of my decision to use a striped turkey in my first card (see here).  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble, check out the Design Teams inspiration and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there. You may also like to hop over to Try Stampin' on Tuesday, check out their Design Team members inspiration and see how easy it might be to combine these two challenges.

DTC #152 - Participating with Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Day 3

Join us at Double Trouble Challenge #152 and hop on by and enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration by our Design Team and entrants. This card was inspired by the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #630 and include their theme a "Warm Drink". 

DTC DeJa-Brew is participating with 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and here is my Coffee themed card for Day 3. 





The to-go-cup was stamped with black ink, colored with Copic brush pens in a variety of colors, fussy-cut and set aside... notice there is a holly on the to-go-cup. Using the pine patterned paper an oval scalloped die was used for the circular background of the sketch, adhered to the plaid, edges and corners cut and layered with a pine cardstock and applied to the card base.  

Another two pieces of plaid was cut as to place the to-go-cup... cut off lid, rounded the cup using 3D thin and regular foam tape and adhered to the plaid coaster.  Used foam tape on back of the lid and overlaped a smidgen of the lid over the to-go-cup. Finished with a sentiment using black ink directly on the plaid background in the bottom corner .   

On the inside R-H border of the card base adhered a strip of each of the same patterned papers used for the front of the card.

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.

DTC #152 - Participating with Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop - Day 1

Join us at Double Trouble Challeng #152 "DeJa-BREW" and hop on by and enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration by our Design Team and entrants. This card was inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #549... perfect for a fun fold.  Almost forgot my pun for Twisted Sister's optional twist... wasn't sure how I was going to get that in without a re-make or new card, but with the help of Thing 2 Double Dare she suggested Cool Beans... so a sign on the snowman to-go-cup was hand-drawn and adhered with thin 3D tape. Phew, that wasn't hard.  

DTC is participating with 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and here is my Coffee themed card for Day 1.  AND I have some blog candy for you today! Be sure to comment on Double Trouble Challenge post HERE and win a prize from me!





This was a fun card to put together in meeting all the requirements of the three challenges.  These design papers were a gift as winner of the August BYSHC Challenge #36 and I will be using more papers in future Christmas cards.  

When opening card on L-H side there is another sentiment and a Holly to meet the requirement at Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #23.  

Opening on the R-H side there is a Penquin holding another sentiment leaving some room for signature on bottom.  Turn to the back of the card and you have plenty of space for a personal message to your recipient.  

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.
