Coffee, Please?

Happy Thursday!

I have a super quick card for you today using one of my favourite returning framelits!  It matches perfectly with the sketch they have this week over at Freshly Made Sketches!

 

 When new catalogues come out there are so many exciting new things to try and use, that I need a little reminder of my older favourites too!  This card is just that!  

I flipped the sketch to have the coffee cup at the bottom of my card instead of the top and added a bow instead of a sentiment.  Sometimes I like to leave the front of the card without a  message.
 
There are lots of things I love about this card, the first is the adorable coffee cup!  Who can't use a card with a coffee cup on it for their stash - you never know when you might need a quick thank you to insert a little gift card.

The second thing I love about this card are the colours - they totally speak to me with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Whisper White and Balmy Blue!

 The third thing I love is having generic cards in my stash for a moments notice.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to hop on back to Freshly Made Sketches to see the fun cards created for this challenge!

Happy Stampin'

Thanks a latte Freshly Made Sketches

Hello,

A quick post with a quick card for you today. It is back to school for my boys tomorrow and I want to make the morning as easy as possible!  They have had a two week break for Christmas and they are NOT looking forward to go back.  ;)

I stopped on over to Freshly Made Sketches and saw a super cute sketch and new I had to join the fun.

I am so ready to start creating things other than Christmas cards.  SO, I pulled out my Coffee Cafe bundle to create a cute thank you card.  I just love it.  It is such a great, versatile set that is in the Annual Catalogue.

Here is my card.....

I used the Coffee Break DSP to create the colours combination.  I used Early Espresso for the card base with a layer of Pear Pizzaz then the DSP on top.  I also layered the background for my coffee cup with Pear Pizzaz and a different pick of DSP from the Coffee Break package.

The inks I used are Crumb Cake on the Whipped Cream, Soft Sky for the hearts on the coffee cup and Early Espresso on the Thanks A Latte label.  

I finished the card with a big piece of beautiful Pear Pizzaz  ribbon and a nice big bow - who doesn't love a great big bow.

Thanks for joining me today.  Be sure to see all of the wonderful creations made with this sketch in mind over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Happy Stampin'

December Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Happy December!

Welcome this the December Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This month's theme is Christmas, Hanukah or New Year's.  I chose to share a Christmas project.

Are you getting ready for the BIG day?  I am getting there.  Still lots to do, but one thing is for sure, I have many of my crafting projects complete to start spreading the Christmas Cheer!

One of my most favourite things to create are treat holders!  I love to give them away to my customers, to my card class attendees, my garbage man, my postal worker, co-workers, teachers, almost everyone who I want to wish a bit of Christmas Cheer and that I am thankful for all year long.

This year I knew I wanted to use that super cute little test tub that was featured in the Holiday catalogue. (pssst if you love it too, you may want to stock up, the holiday catalogue is ending January 3)  

I also wanted to incorporate some hot chocolate.  So I searched the internet and found a GREAT tutorial from Frenciestamps!  You can see her blog post and video tutorial here. 

I CASE'd her creation, but changed the sizing to accommodate the packet of hot chocolate that I had.  I also changed the colours to match the DSP and cardstock I had on-hand.  Here is my version of it...

I really liked how it turned out.  I used the Merry Cafe stampset for the greeting on the front of the card as well as the cute little holly.  The cup, lit, coffee cup wrap and cute little heart tab are all created from the Coffee Cups framelit set. 

The inside message is from the stamp set Snowflake Sentiments.  I love the tiny little snowflakes that come with the Merry Cafe stampset, so just had to add them!

So I have 24 of them all ready to go and start spreading the cheer!

 Don't miss any of the hop and make sure you see all of the wonderful creations.  You can do that by following and clicking on the list below or by clicking the 'continue' button below.  Happy Hoppin'
