It's time for the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  

The AMAZING Amy Tsuruta is the creator of this fabulous blog hop! Make sure you stop by and check out all the fantastic entries and the list of sponsors is over the top!  So many prizes and tons of inspiration!  

79 Sponsors is just AMAZING!!!!!!!  How generous of all these fabulous paper crafters to be a part of this fun event!  A HUGE THANK YOU to all of them!

I LOVE coffee and I LOVE being a part of this event! 

My card is created on a white card base.  I layered green and red card stock behind my snowflake DSP.  A green rectangle was added behind my main image and a little blue border was cut to add more interest.   The little girl is stamped using the Your Next Stamp Ellis Loves Lattes and colored with Copic Markers.  
A few vellum snowflakes and enamel dots were added for fun! 

Nothing better than a warm cup of coffee, cocoa or tea on a cold day!

My card is created on a Basic Gray card base.  I used a bright pink textured piece of card stock that I found in my stash for the top layer.  It was cut using  the Reverse Confetti Lacy Scallop Frame die.  The poinsettia was stamped in black ink on Smoky Slate card stock and white card stock.  The poinsettia is from Altenew Build A Flower:Poinsettia.  I colored the top poinsettia with 3 shades of red Copic Markers.  The poinsettias were cut using the matching die.  I adhered the red poinsettia  with dimensionals and turned it to make the Smoky Slate one look like the leaves.  Wink of Stella and a few sequins were added for shine.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set. It is stamped with black Versa Fine ink.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  Don't forget to check out all the amazing projects from the Design Team.

Christmas Is Love With Lots of Sugar Sprinkled On Top--PP373

December 3, 2017

WOW!  December has rolled around and we are all at a mad rush to get everything done and still have time to enjoy the season!  

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!  Our lovely Laurie has a fabulous theme challenge for all of us!  What could be better than Christmas baking?  We can't wait to see what you create!  

My card is created on a white card base.  The background paper is from SugarPea Designs Happy Holidays Patterned Paper collection.  It was perfect for my little gingerbread people and baker.  I stamped the characters using SugarPea Designs GingerSnaps and Whiskey Business stamp sets.  They were colored with Copic Markers.  I paper pieced the little girl's apron and hat.  I also added white gel pen accents to the GingerSnaps.  The images were cut out using the matching dies.   sentiment is from the SugarPea Designs Seasons Greetings stamp set.  Wink of Stella was added for lots of shine. I just love the way this card turned out.
