Sept. Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge

Hello, hello! 

Happy September! :)

Today is the 1st which means it starts a new challenge at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog! If you haven't seen or played along with these challenges, you should definitely check things out. It's a great way to get started on your holiday cards, find inspiration, and to have fun! :)

Without further ado, here is my card...

I did a little mixing and matching using some Pixi Dust Designs and some Brass & Bliss Craft Co along with a small touch of A Jillian Vance Design (snowflakes for background). I couldn't resist those little 'character' dies, I had a couple sets for quite some time now and finally put them to use! lol I chose some fun papers to go along with, as well as some big snowflakes and then a JOY die cut sentiment because a cookie and coffee is joy, right?!...

Well, that's all for me. Be sure to check out all the other fabulous cards on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge! I hope to see you there! :)

Not 2 Shabby August Monthly Mood Board Challenge-Cozy...

Hello, hello! 

I'm swinging in to share a card I designed for Not 2 Shabby's August Monthly Mood Board Challenge! If you have yet to join us, I sure hope you will! :) And did I mention you have a chance at winning a $15 gift certificate to the Not 2 Shabby Shop?!...(More details about the challenge below.)

Without further ado, here is my card...

I drew some inspiration from both the colors and images. I kept things simple, even if it may look like a lot. Seriously, so easy. ;) How about we make this card?!...

• Start with using the EZ Wonder Die #1 with patterned papers. Then set aside.

• Take the EZ Wonder Die #1 Add-On large square and use it with patterned paper.

• Taking the some of the die cut pieces from the first step, choose what pieces you'd like to use. In this case: striped paper for the circle (inside the square), the little banner, and larger banner. Leaf paper for the square (with hole in center). 

• Layout pieces on top of the large square from step two. (Don't adhere things yet, you just want an idea of where to put things.)
• Next, choose some ephemera pieces to fill in the circle in the center. Then set things aside.

• Take some patterned paper and cut to fit an A2 cardbase. 
• Adhere paper to cardbase.

• Adhere the large square to the card, towards the top of the card/higher up on the card.
• Adhere the square with the circle in the middle onto the large square, using foam tape on the back.
• Adhere the striped circle into the center and striped banner to the upper left corner (use foam tape on the back of the banner).
• Adhere ephemera to the center (use foam tape only on the back of the coffee cup).
• Set things aside.
• Stamp on sentiment on white cardstock using black ink.
• Trim cardstock with the stamped sentiment into a 'banner/narrow strip'.
• Adhere to the card.
• Add sparkling enamel dots.

• Add burlap twine by sentiment/banner.

Fun, right?!...I hope I have inspired you, today!
