Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Another great treat at this time of year is Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

The base of the card is Fresh Forest Cardstock, with a layer of Fresh Forest Cardstock that I embossed with the Beach Towel Embossing Folder.  

The bow I created by using the Mini Create-a-bow die and Candy Apple Cardstock.  

I then stamped the mug from Cozy Wishes with Dark Roast ink on Buttercream  and Candy Apple Cardstock.  I detail cut these out, distressed them and paper pieced them back together.    I added them to the card.

Next, I stamped the circle swirl from the Blown Up set with Candy Apple ink on Whip Cream Cardstock.  I detail cut this out and using a piece of cellophane, I wrapped it and tied it with Whip Cream Thread, to look like a peppermint candy.  I added this to the card using foam squares.

I finished the card by adding a Brown button which I thread with Journey Natural Twine.  Enjoy!

I Love You A Latte Stocking

A great day for another great project for the Winter Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

The base of the card is a Whip Cream Cardstock, with a layer of Christmas pattern paper I had in my stash.
I then die cut the Chubby Stocking using Whip Cream and Candy Apple Cardstock and adhered it to the card making a pocket.
I then stamped with Dark Roast ink on Whip Cream and Candy Apple cardstock the little coffee cup from the Hey Sugar set.  I detail cut the pieces and paper pieced them together.  I tied them on to the stocking using Black Licorice Twine and some Twinkle Trim also.
To finish the card, I stamped with Hazelnut Blend ink, the sentiment from Hey Sugar on Whip Cream Cardstock, distressed the edges and added it to the card.  Enjoy!

Tis The Season for Cocoa

I have another great cocoa project for the Coffee Lovers Winter Bloghop.

The base of the card is Whip Cream Cardstock and layers of Christmas Pattern paper I had in my stash.
I then stamped the mug from Christmas Mug (FSJ Bloom Benefit) with Black Licorice ink on Candy Apple and Whip Cream Cardstock.  I detail cut these pieces out and put them back together.  I used the Journey Color Burst pencils to color in the "cocoa".  I added this to the card using foam squares.
Next, I wrapped a piece of ribbon from my stash around the card.  I stamped the sentiment, Tis the Season, from Christmas Trim with Candy Apple ink on Whip Cream Cardstock.
To finish the card off, I added a Wooden Snowflake to the mug.  Enjoy!

Cozy Wishes

I always look forward to participating.  Today I have a card for those cold cocoa nights.

The base of the card is Cranberry Bliss Cardstock.  I used the Say It! embossing folder to add the lines into the base.
Next, I cut a piece of Party Pop Prints, ripped the side off and added it to the card.  I then wrapped a piece of Oatmeal Cookie Satin Ribbon around the card and tied a knot.
I stamped the mug from Cozy Wishes with Dark Roast ink on Buttercream Cardstock and Fresh Forest cardstock.  I detail cut the piece out and adhered the cozy to the mug.  I used an exacto knife to cut the top out.  I then stamped the candy cane from Holiday Sparkle set with Black Licorice ink and colored with Journey Color Burst pencils.  I detail cut the candy cane and added it to the card, through the slit.
I finished the card by adding the sentiment from the Cozy Wishes set with Cranberry Bliss ink on Buttercream Cardstock and tying a few Jingle Bells to the mug with Natural Journey Twine.  Enjoy!

Can You Case It? #142

Can you believe it is December already?  Where has the time gone?  It seems like just yesterday we were starting school and getting ready for Halloween.
Either way, I love Christmas.  I love the smells, the colors, the sounds, all of it. 
Today, we have a color challenge for you at Can You Case It?  The more I looked at these colors, the more I liked them.

Here is the card I created

I started the card with a piece of Whip Cream and Pretty Pansy cardstock.  Next, I took a piece of Whip Cream cardstock and stamped the Snow burst snowflakes with Clear Pigment Ink.  I then took Silver PanPastel and rubbed over the top.  Tada!  I beautiful, silvery background.
Next, I took a piece a strip of Whip Cream Cardstock and stamped the Noel from Noel Chirp in Pretty Pansy ink.  I tore the end off of the strip and adhered it to the card.  I then took some silver washi tape I had in my stash, on either side of the sentiment.  Then, I wrapped a piece of Tinsel Trim around the card and adhered the layer to the card base.
To finish the card, I splattered some Silver Silk to the card and added a wooden snowflake to the bottom.  Enjoy!

Can You Case It# 141

Today we have another challenge over at Can You Case It?  We have a sketch for you this week.

Here is the card I created.

The base of the card is Rich Coral cardstock.  I then cut a piece of the Magical Journey Pattern Paper.
I then stamped the sentiment from Cake Time on Whip Cream Cardstock with Black Licorice ink and detail cut the word out.  I added the sentiment to the card with foam squares.

To finish the card, I added a few small Sparkle Dots to the card.  Enjoy!

Now, let's see what you create.  Join the challenge with us.

Journey Blog Hoppers November Hop

Welcome to the Amazing Journey Blog Hoppers Hop!  This month's theme is Be Amazing  I'm so happy you're hoppin' along!  If you arrived from Ruth Cooper blog, you're on the right track.  If not, that's ok too!  Just continue the hop and you'll come full circle!

Now, let's get to my projects. First the card.

I used our Be Amazing color, Outrageous Pink for the base of the card.  I then cut a layer of Be Amazing Pattern Paper for the top.  I then die cut a Star-dom star from Outrageous Pink cardstock.  Next, I stamped the sentiment, Be Awesome Today, from the So Pretty stamp set with Black Licorice ink on Whip Cream Cardstock.  I then splattered Turbo Teal silk over the tag, punched a star hole into the tag and tied the tag to the card with Black Licorice Twine.

To finish the card, I added some Tinsel Trim to the bow for the tag and added some Sparkle Dots to the stars on the card.

Now for the project.

I created this "gift bag" with one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 piece of Turbo Teal Cardstock.  I added a strip of stars die cut from Outrageous Pink Cardstock and added them to the top of the bag.

Here is a close up of the tag.
