Cheers – Merry Monday #272
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.

TTT029 – Featured Designer Felicita – Life Is Unbearable!
Happy New Year! Welcome back to the first challenge in the New Year over at Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week I’m the Featured Designer and my design is all about winter and two cute Polar Bears that are madly in love.
For my design this week I stamped one of the Sunny Studios Playful Polar Bears stamp onto the Neat & Tangled Backdrops stamp and copied it onto X-Press It Blending card. I took another image and stamped and colored both with various Copic Markers. I cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I wanted the love birds to look like they were on a snow bank under a snowy night. I blended several Distress Inks for my night sky and then used my Carta Bella Christmas Sky Stencil and heat embossed with the Stampendous Detail White (EP). The sky just looks like it’s glistening……..
To finish my card I die cut a hill from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Border and blended a little distress ink on top to match the background panel. I adhered the hill and the Playful Polar Bears onto an A2 side fold MFT Grout Gray card base. Thank you for stopping bye… please head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team.

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.
