Merry Candy Cane Holiday Brew

I was reminded that it was time again for the Coffee Loving Card Makers Annual Fall / Winter Blog Hop by Double Trouble (#152), so here we go!

My design was also inspired by Caffeinated Christmas (#23) to add Holly; Jingle Belles (#23) to add Hard Candy; and Inkspirational (#302) for the Sweets inspired Mood Board.

I selected the colors suggested by Just Us Girls (#704) and the Tuesday Morning (#731) sketch.

Here is the result:

MERRY CAFE – SCENTSATIONAL SEASON – SPIRITED SNOWMEN – THE INQUE POT STUDIO

Steps:

Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Garden Green cardstock.
Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Vellum dry-embossed with the Cross-Hatch patterned Basics 3D Embossing Folder (An On-Line Exclusive item).
Cross Strip: (1” x 5¼”) Cherry Cobbler / White / Gold Plaid patterned piece of Designer Series Paper scrap from the To You and Yours November 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit.
Rectangle Shape – Coffee Cup: (2¼” x 3”) Crumb Cake cardstock.
- The Coffee Cup image from the retired Merry Café stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie ink and then die-cut with the coordinating die from the retired Coffee Cups Framelits Dies set.
- Shading was added with Crumb Cake ink using a Sponge Dauber.
Circle Shape – Coffee Sleeve: (1½” x 2”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, All I Want for Christmas is Brew, was created in Canva and sized to fit the Sleeve embossing die also from the Coffee Cups Framelits Dies set.
- Shading was also added with Crumb Cake ink.
Small Rectangle Label – Coffee Lid: Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The Coffee Lid image was also stamped with Pecan Pie ink, die-cut with the coordinating die and shaded with Crumb Cake ink.
Decoration – Candy Cane: Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The Candy Cane image from the retired Scentsational Season stamp set was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and the alternate Stripes were colored with the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker.
- The Candy Cane was die-cut with the coordinating die from the retired Holiday Collection Framelits Dies set.
Decoration – Holly: Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The Holly image from the retired Spirited Snowmen stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie ink and colored with the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker and the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Marker.
- The Holly was then fussy-cut with Paper Snips.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch. The Holly was popped up with Dimensionals.

A fun pun, a fun holiday card especially for your coffee lover!
