Hi friends!
We made it through Monday!
YAY! :)
You may remember from this post
that I have several new creative adventures planned for my blog this year ~
Like this one!
Christmas Cheer All Year!
December was a month of merry chaos with so. much. going. on!
Since I missed getting holiday cards in the mail
:::: insert crying face! ::::
I thought it would be wonderful to create cards all year!
That way, I'll be ready!
At least that's the plan ♥
This card was created by using a stamp by STAMPlorations
called Caffeinated Zen.
It stamps so beautifully and crisp and I loved coloring
the middle of the cup to look like a holiday cup from Starbucks!
The rest of the cup is paper-pieced ..
and the rest is paper and glue and a heat embossed sentiment
from MFT Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Both of your cards are beautiful. I had my cards made...I just didn't get them mailed out, because this year I didn't feel well enough to address and write in them, argh. I hope to start earlier next year.
ReplyDeleteGreat card with lovely coloring and paperpiecing. I try to make Christmas cards every week, at least 1. So I have enough of them at the end of the year.

Fab card and love how you have done the cup. Absolutely brilliant Kelly!! Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx
ReplyDeleteI've had this same challenge just about every year - and I wish you much success! I really like this and need to remember this, instead of traditional images, this is great for coffee lovers at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly what a wonderful card - Love the band on the coffee cup - that is so beautifully coloured and such a wonderful feature of the card.
