Greetings From Arizona - Cool Holidays

Here is my card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #12 Snowman. One of my last Christmas cards for this year and this card is for a very special high school friend back East. This was such a fun card to make and I know she will enjoy it.

I started with the Whimsy melting Snowman stamped on white cardstock and used a multi-liner black pen to add some melted snow below the fan to place a cup of hot chocolate. Colored the image, stamped the sentiment and then cut out the top portion of the image for later placement on the background. Cut, stamped and colored the cup of chocolate, placed on the bottom corner on the added melting snow adhering with thin foam tape for dimension.

Now I needed to build the scene. Selected a blue pattern paper for the sky and bordered with candy apple cardstock and adhered to cardbase. Cut a layered sun, colored, stamped sentiment on center cut of sun and adhered direct to background paper. Cactus was cut (only partial used), and adhered to background paper. I had colored the flowers that were a part of the cactus die cut but wasn't pleased with the look, so went through my stash to find some small flowers. Flowers stamped with candy apple ink, fussy-cut and adhered to cactus with glue dots. The image was added to the background with thin foam tape.

Double Trouble Challenge #125A "DeJa-BREW" Mochachocalovyoualatte

This is my Design Team card for our Double Trouble "DeJa-BREW" participating with Day 1 at the 2022 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and also sharing in the "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11" to include at least one holly element.

Once again going to my stash to look for some images from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp from December 2021. Pulled out this adorable moose or deer image from Whimsy, partially colored, and it included holly... a perfect find from my stash. So I pulled out my Boot Camp Notebook and obtained the colors needed to complete the coloring. It's a lot easier to follow the instructions at Boot Camp on shadowing and shading; but I think I managed it through the photo. Finished it off with white gel pen for highlights.

I die cut a teeny weeny cocoa cup my daughter gifted me, adhered with foam tape on the hand of the critter, drew some steam with a black Copic Multi-liner and then bordered the image with Ruby cardstock. Again back to my stash for the a good match of colors for my image and background... found and used both sides of pattererned paper, cutting diagonally, used Ruby cardstock border and adhered to card base.

Hope to see you at Double Trouble and win another chance at our random draw if you have entered your project at the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop... and add a funny pun on your project for another chance.
