It's my most favorite time of the crafting year, the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! It is so hard to believe that this time last year I was busy as a bee making coffee cards day after day, then the very next morning we were hurried into the hospital to begin Sydney's treatment for leukemia. Even harder to believe that I didn't craft for months and months after that, with so many long hospital stays during the ups and downs of her chemo. Thankfully, she will be starting maintenance chemo next week! Praise the Lord!!!
Thank you all so much for your support and prayers throughout the past year. <3
I've been having some fun with my crafty pal @carolinasweetlee and hew new Christmas die cuts. When I saw the little coffee mugs and cups in the new Tim Holtz Festive Things die set it made me want to combine them with the Santa's Helper Elf die. He reminds me of myself trying to balance my coffee... It never works for me!
I used the Scribble Woodlands stamp set along with Alphanumeric dies to complete this festive phrase. The tree is also from the Festive Things set, but the circle baubles are the berries from the holly in the Seasonal Scroll Bigz die.
The circle was cut from the Snowglobe 2 die set from last year's Christmas stash. I used a Picket Fence Distress Paint Dauber to outline the edges to give the appearance of frosted glass. I used the Tim Holtz Ornate Trims stamp set to make the border around my design.
I'm looking forward to hopping with you all again this year. Hugs to all of you coffee loving cardmakers!
