2024: Caffeinated Christmas Card November Challenge [card #271]

Hellooooooooooo, sweet friends!  
I'm back and thrilled to join in the fun again with the Caffeinated Christmas Card team for their November challenge. Pink & Main is sponsoring this challenge, which is PERFECT as they have some super cute images for Christmas and that match the coffee theme! 
For today's project, I went with "green" as my inspiration since my first project {HERE} was "red". LOL πŸ˜‚  My first card was all red using one stamp set... this card is green with several fun goodies and products by P&M!!!! I love it! 

Since this card is more my style, I pulled out everything I love using on my cards: an embossing folder, twine, gold embossing powder... and of course the cutest mug image!!! I took my time coloring this image **NOTE: I'm still a newbie!!! and originally wanted to have his hair red, but after much thought, I went with black and I'm glad I did! I think he is super cute!!! 

I hope that this card inspires you to pull out your P&M goodies to create today---  maybe something green or red so you can join in the fun with the November challenge over on the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog

That's it for me today. 

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come πŸ’Œ   

Be blessed ❤️

2024: Caffeinated Christmas Card November Challenge [card #270]

Hellooooooooooo, sweet friends!  
I'm super excited to join in the fun with the the Caffeinated Christmas Card team for their November challenge- red or green. Pink & Main is sponsoring this challenge, which is PERFECT as they have some super cute images for Christmas and that match the coffee theme! 
For my project, I wanted to do something that was "all red" since the challenge was red and green. This made me think of a one-layer card using only one stamp set, P&M Mugs & Kisses. This was harder than I thought, but it turned out the way I envisioned itπŸ‘πŸ»  
  • First I stamped the Santa mug on the cardbase and masking paper
  • Masked him to stamp the whippy dip and candy cane (also on the cardbase and masking paper) 
  • Then I kept the masks on so I could ink the background--- yes the background is inked! #SSS20yearsofdistress
  • Then I stamped the sentiment with red ink as well
  • Finally I added color to the image (ok--- I added just a hint of green for fun!)
Simple steps but nerve-wracking as working on a one-layer card means if you mess up... then you have to start all over! LOL πŸ˜‚

I hope that this card inspires you to pull out your P&M goodies to create today, as well as joining in the fun with the November challenge over on the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog 

That's it for me today. I've got another P&M project that I will share for this challenge in a few weeks! I can't wait:)
