Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Morning, y'all!  I'm super excited to get to participate with the Paper Sweeties Design Team in the Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop today!  Here's how I was inspired.

I started this card by stamping the "Christmas blessings" sentiment, from Meet Me Under the Mistletoe, in Jet Black ink, in the top center of a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of vellum.

I then ran that vellum through my Big Shot to achieve the textured polka dots before machine-stitching it, with red-threaded, straight stitches, over a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of aqua, medallion print, to the white cardstock, card face.

The little table was created by die-cutting two of the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts dies from white cardstock and a gingham print.

I then topped it with a stamped and watercolored, in Pumice Stone Distress Ink, mug, which I dressed up with a stick of peppermint and white-embossed snowflake and puff of steam, as well as a stamped, in Antique Linen Distress Ink, and watercolored cupcake.  All images were stamped and/or embossed on watercolor paper die cuts and popped up with foam tape.  A couple of red sequin berries; length of Baker's Twine, tied in a bow; and white, Gelly Roll pen details complete the look.

Link up your winter-themed coffee, tea, and/or cocoa projects at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for your chance to win a heap of fabulous prizes.  Paper Sweeties is offering a stamp and die set of the flash prize winner's choice...

 

AND a super sponsor prize of $25 to spend in the Paper Sweeties shop.  Woohoo!

 

Thanks so much for humbling me with a visit!  Be sure to stop by my talented teammies' blogs; and have a wonderfully blessed winter, friends!
