The Card Concept #167 - Coffee or Cocoa?

Sometimes, admittedly not often this time of year, I know exactly the what, where, when, and how of an inspiration challenge - that was the case this morning when my friend LeAnne introduced me to The Card Concept challenge #167.  

Here is my Clean and Simple creation using Elizabeth Crafts perfect Marshmallow Snowmen...

I've checked and it seems the stamps are no longer available - sorry.

I was inspired by the colors, the berries and greenery, darling cups, and of course the marshmallows in the photo.

While looking for a suitably interesting place to pose this hot tub cup o' cocoa, I came upon some bits of already stamped greenery and berries from PTI's Spruce and Sprigs.   My newest panel die from Pinkfresh Studio - Stitched Scallop Rectangles was cut from Neenah white 110# cardstock.  I embossed the middle section the die cuts to provide a little lift and added that sweet signage. 

Oh, it was so fun to be inspired again!  Thanks, TCC!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #2

My friend Jo has a new Challenge designed to help us build our Christmas card stash all year long … isn't that a great idea?  I've already failed by missing challenge #1!  lol 

But, I've got a card this time, Jo!  For Christmas Kickstart Challenge #2 the theme is bundle up!  I have a cutie from my new Elizabeth Crafts Penguins set that fits the bill quite nicely...

Don't you wonder what's in the package?  Maybe some flipper slippers!!!  he hee…

Now, just to catch up, I created a second card for my stash... who could stop at one of these cute guys, I ask you?

A sweet surprise!

I was so surprised, and honored, by the spot in the Designer Picks from the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  There were hundreds of amazing cards in their gallery! 

I also won a terrific prize from Elizabeth Craft Designs - thank you, so very much for this Marshmallow Snowmen set - and dies!  Today, I took that set for a little spin … hope you like them!

 

And THEN … I took a turn to Valentine's Day … don't hate me!  I know it's early!  I also wrote my own sentiment...

Inside:

"I'll stop the world and melt with you!"

 

I hope you have a few new goodies to play with!!  wink, wink
