Guest Designer Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #24 -- SNOWMAN

 

Me and my gnomies were chosen as the Top Pick for Caffeinated Christmas Card  

Challenge #22  and I was invited to guest for the last challenge of the year with the 

theme of SNOWMAN.

 

The prize sponsor for this month is Frantic Stamper. 

 

 

 Fran is generously offering this trio of goodies to the winner:

 

One (1) Frantic Stamper Precision Die -- Irish Coffee 

One (1) Frantic Stamper Precision Die -- Coffee Grinder

One (1) Frantic Stamper Precision Die -- I Love Chocolate and Coffee

My card uses one of my favorite snowpeople from Paper Smooches and all patterned 

paper is from  Catherine Pooler's Daily Grind which is sadly discontinued. 

I love his plaid attire!

The sentiment is from Catherine Pooler (also discontinued) and I stamped it 

before running the card through a falling snow embossing folder. To finish off the card, 

I added a mug from a Casual Fridays set and some snowflakes from my snowflake stash.

 

Kim Hughes closed her Paper Smooches shop and blog three years ago, but you can 

now find some of her products at Queen & Co and a few Catherine Pooler products 

can be found at Frantic Stamper.

Huge thanks to Amy and Lisa for the invite and we hope you'll join the last

challenge of the year. You have until 11:55PM PST on December 25th, 2023

to link up your caffeinated creations.

 

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11 -- HOLLY

The theme for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #11 is HOLLY. 

Here is my card.

 

I inked a Lil' Inker Designs mug in red ink then colored and added a bit of holly.

 

 

A strip of Catherine Pooler patterned paper was adhered to a card base then topped off 

with the mug and greenery. I added some red enamel dots as holly berries and stamped

the curved sentiment.

I'm also linking up this card to the 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop since

the card has all that holly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add: My CCCC card was chosen as a Top Pick! So honored! This means I will be 

guesting with them come January. Thanks so much, Amy, and to Kathy who made the pick!

HOME is Where the Heart Is

Catherine Pooler has a new home for her gorgeous, redesigned blog and she's throwing a

Here's my card for the challenge.

I masked off a rectangle on watercolor card and sponged on some distress inks.
Using dies, I die cut a house, bird, and branches and assembled them on the card.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
