Coffee Lover's Hop - Fifth Post

I have three cards to share today - two are coffee themed for the Winter 2017 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  All three are using digital stamps from Verve, and some older Close To My Heart papers:

 This one is using the Viva La Verve December sketch, and uses Santa & Coffee from Verve.

My second card is using My Cup to Yours by Verve, and the last one (below) is also using Santa & Coffee:

If It Zips it Fits!

 It's my first Art Impressions post for 2016, and I am sharing a couple of cards that I made with one of the newest Ai People: If it Zips Set (Sku #4669):

 I made two of the same cards, just changed up the skin tone & hair colour... and did a little paper piecing on her top.

 Don't you just adore this image??

Three challenges

I'm pleased to have my first Christmas card of 2015 in my stash!  And I was able to combine three different challenges, as well.  I've used the sketch from Retro Sketches, the theme at Heart2Heart is Old/New (last year's Frosted stamp set, with this year's Snowhaven papers) and I am entering this at Merry Monday, where the challenge is to use a snowflake on your card.

Merry Monday inspiration:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Happy World Card Making Day!  I haven't played along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge in a little while, so I was glad to finally make it happen this week!  I am trying to build up my Christmas card stash whenever possible, so I pulled out the new CTMH Snowhaven papers and last year's WOTG stamp set to make up two slightly different cards:

For this one, I just added a few red sparkles and the new silver adhesive sequins from CTMH. 

And this one got a few sequins and some twine.  Here was our sketch:

Patterned papers are Snowhaven & Dakota; Cardstock is Slate & Glacier; Ink is Whisper; Stamp set is Frosted Cardmaking WOTG; Silver sequins & Red sparkles - all Close To My Heart; American Crafts twine.

 

Snowman Shaker card

 I am kicking off October on the One Crazy Stamper blog with a Christmas shaker card using the Window & Frosty Snowman stamps from High Hopes:

Being a snowman, I knew that I wanted to have him outside peeking in, so I decided on making a shaker card to have a few snowflakes fluttering around him.  I coloured him with Copics on a small piece of white cardstock, and glued a few of the punched snowflakes around him, so that whether the card is shaken or not, there will always be a little snow.

After stamping & cutting out the window, I adhered a piece of clear acetate over the opening, and surrounded it with foam adhesive strips on the backside.  Before pressing it onto my base, I made a little pile of punched snowflakes and sequins on top of the image that became encased in the little pouch that I created after the adhesive was pressed down.  It's Holiday crafting season!  So head on over to the OCS store to stock up on all your supplies.

Mojo & The Challenge

I've combined a couple of challenges today, using the sketch from Mojo Monday, and just the colour combo from The Challenge (although I do love Lesley's sketch, so I may be back to play again!)  The colour combo made me think Christmas, and I have the perfect Verve set that fits nicely into that vertical panel:

I was able to make two of these to add to my growing holiday card pile :o)

Patterned papers are Snowhaven; Ink is Slate; Silver Glitter paper; Kraft, White Daisy & Glacier cardstock - all Close To My Heart; Stamp set is Peace on Earth, Verve; Snowflake dies, My Favorite Things.
