For my card, I decided to feature some Christmas coffee. I love the Scentsational Season stamp set and the fact that it has coordinating die cuts. I used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches for inspiration.
Here's a quick shot of the inside of the card, with a sentiment from the Cheers to You stamp set, because it was on my desk from yesterday's card.
Please join us this week at the Paper Players! Our challenge closes on Friday October 12th at Noon (PDT). The rest of the gals on the Design Team has created some fun projects, too. Stop by and share some bloggin' love!

Looks Very Merry indeed! Hello Anne! Enjoy your cool front with a hot cup of cocoa before the heat gets back to Texas! Thinking of you and hope you are well! Hugs! <3
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I hope to play along this week.
ReplyDeleteLove this almost as much as the weather today. :) And I guess I need EE embossing powder to make my coffee look cool like yours.
ReplyDeleteOH I love how you used embossing powder for the coffee! Brilliant! Isn't that stamp and die set fun?! So glad SU! created it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weather. I'd be thrilled with some 90 degree heat after being below freezing here a few nights....lol. Although I wouldn't want it to last as we don't have central air. Can't win eh?
Hello Anne Marie :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is just fantastic! The layers and embossing and colors and that wonderful snowflake on a mug, beautiful work. I will also NOT complain about the weather now that I know 90's are coming back. I never did get used to living in Texas, crazy weather there. I'll be very content with my 70's again. :)
Hope you're doing better and mending well.
hugs,
Lisa xx
I thought that was a tricky sketch and you used it with the cup perfectly! Love how this turned out! Beautiful for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThis card is just beautiful Anne-Marie! I think you and Ann Schach are in a running for who I want to create like when I grow up!!!! I love those colours and all that texture! Such a fun Christmas card! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteAM - awesome job tying the two challenges together. You rocked them both. Love the idea for the coffee. Fabulous card! 60..... oh.... its currently around 46 here! At least its not going to get back into the 90s anytime soon around here!
ReplyDeleteHope you are on the mend!
Hugs

Such a sweet creation....love that inside too! Love that you used the FMS sketch!! I am sitting here freezing, with a blanket wrapped around me....that is how cold it is here. I think if I had a cup of something, I would put my toes in it!!! Thanks for such a sweet "cup"!
ReplyDeleteLove all the layering & texture happening here, Anne Marie, & that sweet cup of coffee. Gorgeous Holiday card! :)

What a stinkin' clever way to emboss the coffee too--genius, girl! Love it all! Send some of that cooler Texas weather our way--it was 86 degress today! Ugh.
