Today I would like to share with y'all my 2nd card for 2025 - a slimline "coffee-themed" Christmas card for the Caffeinated Christmas #37 card challenge on Coffee Loving Papercrafters. The theme is "snowflake" and, of course, it has to have a coffee, cocoa, or tea theme included also.
Let me show you how I made this card.- I printed Coffee Cup Row from Stamplorations on a piece of white cardstock, die-cut it using a 2 5/8" x 7 5/8" slimline die, colored the cups using 5 different alcohol markers, and adhered a piece of fun foam to the back.
- Using a snowflake stamp I found in an old Avocado Arts (out of biz) stamp set, I stamped a snowflake on the front of each cup using Jet Black Archival Ink.
- I made a top-folding 3" x 8" white slimline card base.
- I die-cut a piece of red cardstock using a stitched slimline die and adhered it to my card front.
- I adhered my colored cups to the front of the card.
- I stamped 3 sentiments, die-cut them using stitched banner dies, adhered them to strips of red cardstock, and then adhered 1 to the card front and 2 to the inside of the card.
- Lastly, I adhered a small crystal to the center of each snowflake.
