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.
- 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.
Besides entering this card in the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #37, I will also be entering the card in the following challenges if you want to add a card of your own.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. Until next time...
Hugs from Brasil.

ReplyDeletePS. The stamps you are using ---- such a BLAST from the past! Avocado Arts!! Oh Yeah, Amy used to be on that team, and I used to play along and eventually saw her demonstrating for Avocado Arts at the Puyallup Fair.... Crafty Pals ever since. And you used Stamplorations as well, just alot of love memories for me, I created a stamp set still there, and love Shery and ALL the designers there.... Sorry if I am rambling on, but this card really brought on the FEELS. Love that you are using these awesome supplies. Hope to see you join us again. -Kimberly Wiener
