Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Guest Designer | Coffee Loving Papercrafters

-

Hello, everyone.  I'm so happy today because Deanne Saunders and I are both guest designers on the March Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge.  This month's theme is "Green".  


To make these cards:

  • I made 2 top-folding A2 cards using red cardstock to which I adhered some strips of leftover Christmas paper from my stash.    
  • I printed the 2 Christmas cup images at 120%.  Then I colored and fussy cut them.  I also printed the sentiments.  The cups and sentiment are from the Christmas Joy Mugs digital stamp kit from Angie Blom Digital Designs.   
  • I embossed 2 pieces of white cardstock using 2 different embossing folders - Christmas Wishes from Crafter's Companion and Mosaic Triangles from Sunlit.  
  • Before adhering the sentiments to the cards, I applied Glossy Accents to the lightbulbs and red and green sprinkles to the whipped cream, which came from Heart With Rainbow Sprinkles from Dress My Craft.  
  • Once the Glossy Accents were dry, I adhered the sentiments using foam tape. 



Here are the finished cards.   



Here is the card that Deanne made and you can find hers on her blog by clicking HERE.  


Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Stay safe and, until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
