Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Leanne challenged us to create a Christmas card with glasses. You can read all about the challenge HERE and also see what the rest of the design team created this week.
For my design this week I went with a coffee theme card. I love coffee and I have tons of coffee mugs, cups and glasses. I wanted to try something different this week. I took the Newton’s Nook Foliage Stencil and blended several distress inks to create a background strip. I applied a few distress inks to the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags stamp to give my coffee cup an ombre look. I die cut the cup and whipped cream topping and copic colored the whip cream top with copic markers.
To finish off my card I die cut borders from the Avery Elle Dotted Borders Die (set) and adhered the stenciled background to the borders and adhered the stenciled borders, coffee cups to an A2 Grout Gray Top Fold card base along with a scattering of some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Kelly challenged us to create a Christmas card using the Tic Tac Toe board below.. I love a good game of Tic Tac Toe!!!

For my card this week I kept it pretty simple. I cut a (4 x 5.25) piece of Neenah Solar White card and embossed it with the Sizzix Winter Snowflakes-3D embossing folder. I cut several pattern papers from the Echo Park A Perfect Winter and adhered onto the bottom of the embossed snowflake panel. I stamped the sentiment onto a (SU) Real Red cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Detail White (EP).
To finish off my card I adhered the panel onto a side fold Basic Grey card base.

Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Debbie challenged us to create a Christmas card with three of the colors in the photo inspiration below. I’ve been under the weather the past few das and now I have a nasty sinus infection geez… I have no energy for anything.
I was in Michael’s a few days ago and ran across this cute little stamp set Merriest by AI (Art Impressions). I love the Girlfriends stamp set they just crack me up. I decided to ink this baby up and color these gals…
You can hear them belting out those Christmas Carols totally off key. You have to admit they are super cute! I hope you like my take on this weeks photo inspiration while your checking me out you should head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team creations.
I’m sorry I didn’t do a breakout this week this girl is trying to feel better.
Have a great week!

While your checking out my card for this week please head on over and see what the rest of the Design Team is up to this week.
For my design this week I kept it simple. I stamped the Lil Inker Moody Santa imgae onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with various copic markers. I die-cut the Taylored Expressions Diagonal Stripes Cutting Plate out of Real Red cardstock. I die cut the Santa with the die from the Moody Santa die and adhered onto a Lawn Fawn Lg Stitched Circle that was cut from Bazzill Vellum and adhered onto the Diagonal Stripes panel.
To finish off my card I removed some of the stripes from the diagonal cutting plate and adhered onto an A2 Top Fold card base to look like a Candy Cane. The sentiment was stamped with SSS Clear Ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Detail White embossing powder. Pretty easy my friends.
