Merry Christmas – Coffee Cheers

Welcome back!  Somehow it is Friday again…where did the week go?

I am playing with: Christmas (or not) Bingo (#16) Using the Letter N Line and opting to Emboss for the FREE Square.

Additionally, the design was influenced by; Caffeinated Christmas Card (#47) always a drink theme; and the Sunday Stamps (#372) Colors.

Sharing with Heart’s Quest Celebration of Love (#202511) with the Christmas Twist and We Love Stamping (#02NOV25) Twist Anything Christmas.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Cloud Cover cardstock.
• Accent Mat: (4” x 5¼”) Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
  • The sentiment, Merry Christmas, from the retired Many Merry Messages stamp set, was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
• Torn Panel: (3” x 5”) Two-Tone Mossy Meadow cardstock – light side.
• Stencil: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock die-cut with the Open Leaf die from the Friendly Foliage Dies set, a new On-Line Exclusive product. See image below.
• Background Accent: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The Stencil was affixed in place, and using a Blending Brush, Lost Lagoon ink was applied.
  • The coordinating Box Leaf image, from the Friendly Foliage stamp set, also an On-Line Exclusive product, was then stamped with Lost Lagoon ink.
  • The entire image was then die-cut with the coordinating Box Leaf die.
  • The Berry image from the retired Merry Café stamp set was stamped several times with Cherry Cobbler ink and colored with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Marker.
• Focal image – Coffee Mug: Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • Using another Blending Brush, Cherry Cobbler ink was applied.
  • The Coffee Mug image from the Weekend Adventures stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso ink as was the word Cheers.
  • The Two-Step Leaf images from the Merry Café stamp set was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.
  • More Berries were added to decorate the Mug, and details were added with both the Bronze and Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers.
  • The Coffee Mug was then fussy-cut with Paper Snips. 

All elements were adhered to the card base.  The Coffee Mug was popped up with Dimensionals and a few retired Adhesive Backed Snowflakes were added to complete the card.

It’s always fun to share a cuppa with a good friend.  Ho, ho, ho!
